Kandurell Family/Euran Yetisbane
Contents
Appearance
Euran is a massive mean looking viking raider. He's covered in scars, missing half an ear, two fingers off his left hand and a sizeable chunk of his shoulder. His eye colours don't match and he has a pair of lungs to rival a Yeti, which he proudly proclaims that he has killed by wearing a Yeti skin. He could never have been described as handsome, but his impressive collection of battle wounds have taken him past 'grizzled' and all the way through to 'disfigured'.
Personality
Different in many ways to his cousin Dren, Euran is not a philosopher. Any intelligence that he has is of a very practical nature; he is cunning rather than thoughtful. Ultimately Euran is selfish and cynical, with a desire for gold and power and the willingness to tread on anyone who gets in his way. His loyalty can, surprisingly, be earned, but it is a long and difficult thing. He makes for a harsh liege but quite possibly a good one, rewarding those who serve him well and ensuring that they surpass their problems. Above all else, Euran is capable of massive rage and has a tremendous love of battle. He is a berserker, tearing down friend and foe alike for the sheer thrill of it.
History
From Moramroth to Lantzas
Euran drank and fought his way through various wars of Norland, as a young man, but never commanded his own troops into battle. He would always return to his home village, deep in the mountains of Moramroth, where a dialect so alien to that which most people spoke had flourished into almost a separate language entirely. Eventually, upon discovering that an ill advised relationship with his neighbour's strong willed daughter had born fruit, as it were, he became decidedly more interested in leaving Norland than staying in it. He trekked across mountains and through passes to the home of a reclusive hermit, a magician, whose words had always been considered important by members of his family's tribe. He was told to go East, far East and seek his fortune away from Atamara.
Glad for the excuse, Euran chartered a ship and set sail for the Far East. He arrived on the Dark Isle, home to Adghar and Arcachon, and found that his talents were well suited to their ways. For some time he raided deep into Sartania with them, becoming a devotee of Adghar and enjoying himself greatly. A call from his cousin Dren, in Kamador, proved enough of a distraction to draw him that way. Euran was not all that impressed upon arrival. The riches that he had been promised from Lantzas turned out to be of a speculative nature, and it was clear that King Dieter of Kamador was a fool. When Dren's ineptitude spurred the peasants on enough to kick him out, Euran was there to pick up the pieces. He promptly took his Barony to Arcaea.
Wild Western Baron
Lantzas and Euran were well suited to each other. Your typical Lantzasian was neither particular scrupulous nor honest, and they did not prefer their lords to be that way. He soon had trade increasing, gambling becoming a local favourite pastime, and managed to convince the local horse tribes (who had been resorting to banditry) to work for him, rather than against him.
