Personal history
Damerrel was born in 384 to a minor noble family in Venäy in the elven land of Dadmaynan. As a youth he trained in both martial skills and arcane arts becoming a magus. With a band of friends he departed Dadmaynan for the wilds of the frontier lands where he spent a decade or so adventuring, gaining skills and experience. After a time, he returned to Venäy where he spent near a century dabbling in one occupation after another. It wasn’t til he began to study the history of the elven peoples that he found his true calling. Appalled by the gradual retreat of the elven people, he was determined to establish a strong elven presence in the Frontier Lands. Gathering his old companions together again, they once again departed Dadmaynan this time with a band of prospective settlers. Returning to a forest he had explored in his youth he and his companions cleared out a nest of hobgoblins and founded the settlement of Yathenra. With the aid of his companions he gradually cleared the forest of goblinoids and other dangerous creatures and established the kingdom of Sarhólgahnúm. He has ruled the kingdom since, only recently (a decade ago) taking a wife Inaedra, another minor noble from Venäy.
Education
As a minor noble growing up in Dadmaynan, Damerrel had access to the best training available to elven kind. As a youth he dabbled both in martial training learning traditional elvish as well as other weapons, and arcane training becoming proficient in the casting of arcane spells. He merged the two disparate paths into one becoming a magus. After several decades spent as an adventurer he returned to Dadmaynun where he dabbled in other occupations, but didn’t stay with anything long enough to master them.

Damerrel’s greatest achievement is founding the nation of Sarhólgahnúm. He has also recently married Inaedra making her queen of Sarhólgahnúm.

Morality & Philosophy

He seeks balance and harmony in his dealings with others. He understands the value of nature and realizes that expanding civilization into the wilderness is not always the most appropriate thing to do. Because of his ability to see all facets of a situation, he sometimes has difficulty in choosing a side between other good beings. Damerrel seeks to do the most good in the world to make it a better place and to help others when possible. He gives great consideration to his actions before deeming them correct.

He has already declared it a part of his kingdom, and established som settlements there. He also seeks to secure elven power in the Frontier Lands, to this end he works with the rulers of Bulkud and Tatidär, the other elven kingdoms in the Frontier Lands.
Savvies & Ineptitudes
Damerrel is a skilled mediator who does his best to see that all sides in a conflict are heard and understood. His biggest flaw is his inability to understand the basic workings of economics. Consequently, he relies heavily on Sarhólgahnúm’s treasurer for advice on economics. Fortunately, the elven kingdom runs primarily on barter within its borders.
Likes & Dislikes
Damerrel loves the forest and his people and does his best to do right by them. He likes music, and often entertains bards in his city as his guests.

He hates goblinoids and if he has a blind spot it’s his hatred for all goblinoids, causing him to distrust even the rare goblinoid that eschews the ways of its people.

Contacts & Relations

Still, Damerrel and Wilkin are in the process of negotiating a trade deal. Wynnstan Elynbrüke and Danerrel have trade and nutual defense agreements between their respective kingdoms. However, while Damerrel understands Wynnstan’s desire for a standing army, he worries that Wynnstan might take a more expansionist policy. Damerrel and Cynesige Apfelnähe are on good terms, though the two nations are some distance apart. His relationship with Aldus Schmiede of Tiefhohl have been strained ever since Damerrel annexed the Annatow Forest, leaving Tiefhohll with nowhere to expand. He is on very good terms with Jathlara Thuvaapannra, ruler of Bulkud and Hayyel Aysannlara of Tatidär, and married Hayyel’s sister Inaedra.
