NPCs:Ríven Barronesk

The forces of Ironhelm are organized and kept in check by their ruler, Ríven Barronesk. Also known as The High Elf of Ironhelm (not be said in his company) the man's personal capabilities are unknown. Rumors tell of him ripping fighters apart with one bare hand, poisoning an army with a word of power, and crushing a mighty galleon airship with high magic. What is known for certain is his rise to power - undefeated in the field of battle, he was amongst a marauding group known as The Band of the Bog, whose pillaging began in the far East, just south of The World Tree. Ríven's hunger for power lead him to murder the leader, and take leadership of the marauders himself, naming them The Band of Barronesk. They cut a bloody path across the Warring Wastes, and took the stronghold of Ironhelm for the first time in over 20 years. That was just 14 years ago, and his rule since has been absolute.
