Aric Brightblade

Marquess of Ostranor-Foven and Lord High Steward of Arthuria

Marquess Aric Brightblade is a distinguished and respected member of the Leonin community in the province of Ostranor, located in the nation of Arthuria. As a young child, Aric showed a natural talent for combat and strategy and quickly rose through the ranks of the Leonin army.
After serving with distinction in the War of the Phoenix, Aric was appointed as a high-ranking government official and rose to the title of marquess. He is responsible for maintaining stability and security in the region, overseeing the activities of the local garrisons, and liaising with other officials in the Arthurian government. One of Aric's most important duties is to act as a representative of the Duchess of Ostranor, Carlel Cornelia in matters of state. As a matter of fact, Aric recognised her potential early on and acted as her mentor, training her in combat, strategy, and diplomacy. Under his guidance, Carlel became a skilled warrior and a respected leader, and she eventually ascended to the position of Duchess.
Aric frequently meets with other high-ranking officials to discuss policy, negotiate treaties, and ensure that the interests of Ostranor are represented and protected. He is also responsible for managing the collection of taxes and levies in the region, a duty that he takes very seriously. He is known for his fairness and evenhandedness, and he is respected by both the Leonin and the populations of other beings in Ostranor. Despite his many official duties, Aric is also a mentor and a role model to many young Leonin in the region. He frequently holds training sessions and sparring matches, and he encourages his students to develop not only their physical skills but also their intellect and emotional intelligence.
Lord Aric's commitment to duty and his tireless work on behalf of the people of Ostranor have earned him the respect and admiration of all who know him. He continues to serve as a trusted advisor to the duchess, and his wisdom and experience are highly valued by all who seek his counsel.
