The second born son of House Lankmere.

After spending time following the priests of Rancugua around, Dormondt rapidly tired of hearing the priests arguments about the Saviour and his teachings. They didn't drink like the priests back home, so his options were limited as far as his old occupation.

A letter sent from Talnost gave him an opportunity to make a change, and he spent time as a member of the Southern Free Trade Alliance.

After a while he knew that a traders life, while profitable, was much too much work, when a quick slip of the wrist could keep him in food and living well for a week or more. He was last seen boarding the gally Hippocampus out of Perdan with his half-brother Trenton. This boat never entered port again.

There are rumors that a man caliming the name Dormondt Lankmere, leading a unit of archers known as the Stormfist, has joined forces with Kaltaran and has been granted the Barony of Nbasah just before the fall of that kingdom. He had led the Stormfist in numerous battles against King Daran of Lasanar until Nbasah was the last bastion of the kingdom. With no income and a dwindling unit and the other nobles of the realm in prison, then King Musdui and Dormondt made to defend their dying realm. The forces of Arcachon learned of their plight and took full advantage of their situation leading 5 Warbands into Nbasah only to be repelled by the Stormfist and a militia of 130 peasants. This fortune was not to last, because in the coming days General Wiglaf? came across the channel and in the battle that ensued Dormondt was heavily wounded causing him to be bedridden and lapsing in and out of consciousness for 2 weeks.

Upon his awakening, he found that Nbasah had been granted to Arcachon by Musdui in exchange for safe passage and that he was a landless man, horribly disfigured and abandoned by the prople that he'd protected for so long.

He went into negotiations with Wiglaf, whom he'd found to be a strong and cunning warchief and with Malius, the mysterious leader of the Clan of Arcachon. When the negotiations had passed, Dormondt had been adopted into the Clan and had been given a unit to command.

As the years passed and Dormondt aged he eventually did settle down in the southlands with the sons of his brother Ragland. He eventually wed and was blessed with a son, Ragmar, who learned his faith and upon Dormondt's death, traveled north to his father's home.
