Eoghan is also a devoted follower of Sanguis Astroism.

History

Eoghan begain his noble career in Niselur during the Fell Winter, becoming a knight of Raden before its loss. He then swore fealty to Black Wolf, Lord of Under Darfix. During the fierce fighting to protect what remained of Niselur, Eoghan was deeply moved by a group of peasants who threw themselves against the undead hordes to protects their kin just as the armies of Niselur arrived; on that day he chose to follow the path of the hero, leading his men from the head of the charge. On another day of fighting, Eoghan saw the High Paladin Turin wounded and fought to his side, driving off the remaining undead; within days, he was promoted to Vice Marshall of the Silver Paladins, a position he strove to exceed at.

When the call was sent out for volunteers to seek aid in Astrum, Eoghan was reluctant to volunteer. However, seeing that there were few others, and understanding that without Astrum's aid Niselur would certainly fall, he volunteered for the mission despite his reservations. It was with great sadness that he learned that the expedition had left too late; Niselur was overrun within weeks of his arrival in Astrum, and the last nobles were forced to abandon the Golden City. He strives now to return Niselur to its rightful state.

Eoghan is a member of the Blades of the Exiles, a special army created for the reclamation of Niselur; for his devotion to the cause he has been appointed Count of Jorradith, in the budding Duchy of Gaston.

A deeply devoted man, Eoghan sought to unify efforts to expand Sanguis Astroism. To this end, he proposed the Order of the Palm to the Elders; sponsored by the Light of Auspicious, the Order is tasked with spreading Sanguis Astroism across all Dwilight, and Eoghan was appointed its first Grandmaster.

When a previous Fiduciary resigned amid controversy and protests, Eoghan put his name forth as a candidate; he won the election by a small margin, and has set about seeing to it that no region in Astrum face hunger or starvation again, an endeavor in which he has been successful so far.
