O'Faolain Family/Eoghan

Personal Summary

Eoghan is of above-average height, fair of complexsion, and has a lean, muscular build. His hair, which he keeps long and tied back in a ponytail, is black and his sharp eyes are green. He is of calm demeanor, though in combat this gives way to a ferocity more often seen in wolves than in men. He trains specifically with the longsword and rides the steed Razormane, a white horse whose grey mane seems to blend together into a solid blade at a gallop, gifted to him by his aunt when he left for Astrum. Eoghan is also a devoted follower of Sanguis Astroism.

History

• Eoghan begain his 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 Marshal of the Silver Paladins, a position he strove to excel 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 swore an oath of fealty to Duke Aram Stein of Eidulb, and strove to return Niselur to its rightful state.

• Eoghan became a member of the Blades of the Exiles, a special army created for the reclamation of Niselur; for his devotion to the cause he was appointed Count of Jorradith, in the budding Duchy of Gaston. He was later promoted to Vice Marshal following a failure in leadership (and subsequent demotion) of the previous appointee.

• 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.

• As the Duchy of Gaston grew, Duke and Marshal of the Blade of the Exiles Turin found himself more occupied with administering the budding duchy; as such, he resigned from command and promoted then-Vice Marshal Eoghan to full Marshal, appointing Lord-in-Exile and Knight of Jorradith Jonas van Nieuwenrode as his replacement at Vice Marshal.
