Eldric Thornvale
Lord of Redbrook Eldric Thornvale
“You don’t earn loyalty with titles. You earn it by showing up when no one else will.”
Eldric Thornvale is a 26-year-old ancient human and the youngest son of a ruling noble house in Ironspire. Assigned to Redbrook as little more than a political formality, he has since transformed the once-overlooked village into a growing stronghold through strategic investment, quiet determination, and hands-on leadership.
He stands just over six feet tall, with a lean, weathered frame and pale golden eyes that miss little. Eldric dresses plainly for a noble, often seen in a reinforced coat and boots suited to walking Redbrook’s uneven paths. He carries no family crest, only a simple iron ring etched with a mountain ridge — a subtle statement of purpose rather than bloodline.
Known for his calm demeanor and firm decision-making, Eldric has gained the trust of the townspeople through visible action, not noble title. He keeps detailed records of his work and private thoughts in a ciphered journal, much of which he burns once internalized. Those closest to him know that his quiet voice often carries more weight than a raised banner.
