Kandurell Family
Contents
Active Nobility
Dren
Dren Kandurell is the last survivor of the three original brothers. He's a tall, haggard looking viking, his height disguising any weight gained from the excessive beer drinking phases that he occasionally goes through. Somewhat naive, Dren tends to become fanatically devoted to certain causes then extremely depressed when they fail.
Brief History:
- Arrived in Ethiala
- Marshal of the Elite Knighthood of Ethiala
- Baron of Lantzas
- Followed Duke Dieter de Blanc of Lasop to secede to form Kamador
- General of Kamador
- Was ousted from Lantzas by the peasants
- Joined Arcaea
- Became a priest of MAE
- Appointed High Priest of MAE
- Married King Jenred Bedwyr of Arcaea to Duchess Edara Kindon of Nocaneb
- Incited Religious Uprising in Talex which made him Duke
- Lost positions as High Priest and Duke as repercussions
Euran Yetisbane
Euran is Dren's cousin. He's a massive mean looking raider, covered in scars and missing half an ear. His eye colours don't match, and he has a pair of lungs to rival a Yeti. Which, by the way, he proudly proclaims that he has killed by wearing a Yeti skin. Confident, somewhat ruthless and possessing a sizeable capacity for cunning, Euran is not a man you would want to meet in a dark alley. He can be relatively loyal, and rewards his vassals for their services, but does not suffer foolish men.
Brief History:
- Arrived in Arcachon
- Fought against Sartania
- Joined Kamador
- Baron of Lantzas
- Defected to Arcaea
- Became member of the Arcaean Inner Council
- Discovered his son, Kaetil
Macal
Macal is, or rather was, another cousin of Dren's, before an overambitious bard/scribe that had served the family for years killed him and stole his name. This new 'Macal' promptly fled to Dwilight, in an effort to escape notice. He's somewhat scrawny, but also a decent actor; years of servitude have given him plenty of opportunity to study a noble's bearing. He now acts more noble than most nobles.
Brief History:
- Arrived in the Cagilan Empire
- Left for Beluaterra
- Joined Thalmarkin
- Became a priest of the Blood Cult
- Joined Vlaanderen
- Left for Dwilight
- Joined Pian en Luries
- Appointed Marquis of Poryatu
- Lost Poryatu to monster attacks
Deceased Nobility
Hroppa and Gommun
Hroppa is the eldest of the Kandurell brothers, and perhaps the truest incarnation of their fighting spirit. His one embarrassment is his height - Hroppa stands well below most Vikings. This doesn't seem to reduce his fighting abilities however; as he says, "The enemy reach all the way to the ground!"
Venturing out from Norland to Eston, Gommun is the least Viking of the Vikings. He prefers the concept of chivalry to that of plunder, and is the more reliable brother. He has somewhat unnerving eyes, which seem to stare in an off putting fashion.
Both brothers were killed by the same swift and deadly disease. Perhaps this is a hereditary defect, lingering in the Kandurell blood line?
Other Family Members
Kaetil
The bastard son of Euran Yetisbane, and a somewhat unusual and unnerving child. His mother was Arnora; a strong woman, thoroughly (and understandably) annoyed when Euran left her alone with child. Kaetil currently resides in Arcaea, after being left in Euran's not so capable care.
