Personal history
A decade ago, a rain-soaked Ulfen approached Grand Prince Stavian III's palace in the dead of night. Escorted inside by the Ulfan Guard , the man introduced himself as Ogvai Jarlbjorn and declared that Taldor would soon be under threat from the frost giants of the Fog Peaks. Stavian dismissed the Ulfen’s warning and reprimanded his guard for the intrusion, but he later learned that frost giants did indeed assault several hamlets south of the Fog Peaks —and that the invaders were repelled thanks in no small part to Jarlbjorn’s presence. Stavian presented Ogvai Jarlbjorn with the title of landgrave, charging him with the protection of the lands south of the Fog Peaks. While this seemed an obvious reward for service rendered to Taldor, another of Stavian’s motivations for the appointment was no doubt to mend any potential political wounds the incident caused to his status with the Ulfen Guard.
Ogvai quickly became a practical and efficient ruler of his small allotment, earning the respect of the paltry population he governed. When word of the landgrave’s effectiveness—and the envious discontent it was fomenting in neighboring regions—reached the grand prince, Stavian “promoted” Ogvai to a vacant position within the senate. Ogvai reluctantly acquiesced to the command, and he began spending more and more time in Oppara rather than the foothills of the Fog Peaks that he’d sworn to defend. Because of this forced detachment, he has come to resent the senate, and he hopes to see Eutropia quickly enthroned, as he believes she will value practicality over politics.
