Eryndor is Lord Commander of Aranthaes City Guard. She was born and raised in Aranthaes and has dedicated her life to protecting the city and its people.

Eryndor trained in the ways of combat and the tenets of her faith from a young age, and being taught by legendary commander Godwin Harewood, she quickly rose through the City Guard’s ranks. She is known for her devotion to justice and her willingness to lay down her life for the greater good.

She is solely focused on her duties as the leader of the Aranthaes city guard and her devotion to her goddess, Lady Bune, is expressed through her actions and her unwavering dedication to justice and protecting the citizens of Aranthaes.

She is a tall and muscular woman with blonde hair and deep hazel eyes. She wears gleaming golden armor adorned with the symbol of Lady Bune, a three headed dragon. Her sword and shield are both masterfully crafted and similarly adorned with the symbol of her faith.

Eryndor’s title of Champion of Aranthaes is as much about image as it is about ability. Chosen and equipped by Holy Mother herself, she has been elevated into a living icon – her legendary golden armor, radiant shield, and divine blade transforming her into the embodiment of the City Guard’s strength.

Children dress up as her in festival parades, her likeness adorns banners and temple murals, and her very presence reassures citizens that Aranthaes is safe under the Mother’s watch.

Behind the legend, however, she remains a mortal paladin – talented, yes, but not beyond the reach of steel and spell were it not for her divine gifts. In truth, Eryndor has been made into the poster-girl of the Guard: a carefully cultivated figurehead whose purpose is to inspire loyalty, obedience, and faith.

Dungeon Masters may choose whether she grows into the role she’s been given, or whether the burden of being the city’s symbol weighs heavier than even her enchanted armor.
