Æðelwald
Ealdorman Æðelwald Athelberhting
Lord of Westarham, Cætham and Aewiue.
Ealdorman Æðelwald is a robust man in the prime of his life, with a strong jawline and tired blue eyes. His hair is a rich auburn, swept back from a receding hairline, and his beard is neatly trimmed, emphasizing the proud lines of his face.
His attire is that of a well-bred noble of Centware, a fine tunic of dark blue wool with intricate gold embroidery, fastened with a gleaming brooch in the shape of a cross, indicative of his Christian faith. He wears a cloak of the finest quality, lined with fur, and his leather boots are well-worn from years of traversing his vast lands.
His physique is one of both physical strength and refinement, hinting at a life balanced between the rigors of leadership and the comforts of high society. His expression is often one of amusement, with a glint in his eyes suggesting a man who enjoys the subtleties of social interaction and political intrigue.
Ealdorman Æðelwald is a charismatic and enigmatic figure and the greatest landholder in Centware after his brother, Cynning Eadbald. Despite his love for the company of others, he maintains an air of mystery that keeps them guessing his true intentions.
His words are chosen with precision, often wrapped in a veil of humor or sarcasm. He is a man of the people, yet he wields his power with a firm but fair hand, ensuring his lands flourish under his rule.
His knowledge of theology is vast, but he is often caught in the act of neglecting his own spiritual practices.
Recently, Æðelwald has been in deep mourning for the loss of his wife, Ælflæd of Mierce, and his son, Ælfric.
