Jerrod Relain d’Ruor (“The White”; of Umbak)

Steel Realms

A large man of Umbakian blood, a knight late in life, last of the pure blood of the d’Ruor branch of the Relain family of Central Umbak.

End of Days…

Jerrod the White wandered for years in shame after fleeing the battle with the necromancer Arkkad in Yarans Vale, cast out of his order (of the Patrician Knights of Aerna) and nearly abandoned by his faith. Despite seeking atonement, he could not escape the Crying Maidens of Aerna that followed him. He was nearly the last of the full blood Relain d’Ruor branch of the family that had settled in Yarans Vale (of what would become Dunstrand). As eldest of the branch, he still held claim to the land grant. By the time Jerrod Relain reached the ancient territory of his family land in Umbak, he had grown old, fat, and took ill often with a weak constitution – though his massive strength never failed him. It was said that he had a roadmap of scars covering his body. He seeded the land grant in Yarans Vale to the Strayol family, and died three days later. His ultimate fate was to die alone, and be quickly forgotten.

  • The scars were self-inflicted.
  • Died penniless and raving mad.
  • He had not bathed in a year and was a smelly, unkempt mess.
  • He returned home with nothing but his chipped and notch worn blade.
  • He returned alone – the two squires, page, and groomsmen that was his retinue all died with his comrades in Yarans Vale.
  • He was bootless (his feet were wrapped in bloody rags) when he returned home.
