“In the darkest hour, when common swords falter and wizards run short of words, the knight commanders stand firm. Their runes burn with Solarin’s grace, and their hearts beat with a courage that even the gods envy.”

A pillar of loyalty to the royal bloodline, Lord Steward Geraint stands as one of the most trusted figures in the kingdom. Having served the crown for many years, he has earned a reputation for his calm demeanor, unwavering discipline, and meticulous attention to the affairs of the realm. Known for his ability to maintain a steady hand during times of political strife, Geraint is a voice of reason in a turbulent court, and his counsel is sought by many.

Geraint’s influence stretches far beyond his title. As Lord Steward, he is the ultimate administrator of the kingdom’s lands and resources, overseeing the day-to-day operations of the royal court and the kingdom’s vast holdings. His diligence has ensured the stability of the crown, and his loyalty to the royal family is beyond reproach.

Though a man of few words, Geraint’s eyes are always observing, always calculating. He has a reputation for being ever watchful, attuned to the subtle shifts in the kingdom’s political landscape. His ability to remain composed under pressure has earned him the trust of both the royal family and the nobles of the court.

However, despite his impeccable public record, there are whispers among the nobility that Lord Geraint may be too content in his position. Some suggest that he has grown too comfortable with his power, perhaps even indulging in ambitions beyond his station. Yet, no concrete evidence has ever surfaced to support these rumors, and to the untrained eye, Geraint remains the epitome of noble propriety.

His stewardship is marked by meticulous order, and it is said that the kingdom’s prosperity owes much to his careful management of resources and his often unseen influence in the halls of power. Yet, beneath this façade of perfect duty, many wonder: how far would Geraint go to see his influence grow?

To the public, Lord Steward Geraint is a symbol of stability. But those who are perceptive, or perhaps too curious, might sense that there is far more beneath the surface.
