Dunlang of the Colymar

- Back to The_Valley_of_Cradles

Background

A blond young man, long of limb and heavily muscled, with loosely braided hair and carefully groomed mustache. Acts the very model of a modern male Heortling, an almost stereotypical mixture of stoic calm and tempestuous passions (and just a touch of youthful impishness).

Dunlang is a Sartarite barbarian from the Colymar tribe, west of Boldhome. The Colymar are one of the conquered tribes, ruled by a puppet king instated by the Lunar Empire, but the people are unhappy with him and his foreign backers and wish for a return to their old free ways. No exception to this rebellious trend, Dunlang is an initiate of Destor, the Explorer Wind, the young and restless aspect of Orlanth Adventurous who always went on to see what lay beyond the next hill. The Empire has outlawed that cult, though, so in public he sticks to his other (just as genuine!) status as a lay worshiper of Issaries, the Orlanthi god of trade and travel. When he left home he underwent voluntary outlawry, officially divesting himself of all ties to his clan and tribe, so he could do what his heart and gods tell him he must without bringing down Imperial punishment on his kinsmen.
