Darro ir'Lain

Lord Darro is a bold warrior who has augmented his martial skill with considerable arcane power. As a captain of the Knights Phantom, he rides a steed conjured with the Phantom Steed ritual. In 955, after the assassination of his commanding officer, General Retief Dekker, while still a Captain of Horse, Lord Darro was given command of the defending Aundairian Army at The Crying Fields in the face of a Thrane invasion. Outnumbered, he nevertheless managed to brilliantly outfox the advancing Thranes, ably using maneuvers, spells and archery to break their advancing cavalry. Had the Thranes not released a new weapon, the silverye marauders, the battle would have been an easy Aundairian victory. As it was, the marauders were able to break Aundair's right flank, but with their own cavalry already in retreat, Thrane was unable to take advantage. Under Lord Darro's command Aundair held the field, but only just.
