Einar Gothenland-Arenheim

Lord Einar Andorsson of Gothenland and Arenheim

He is the son and heir of the famous Ealdorman of Gothenland-Arenheim. At the beginning of the story he was in charge of training the Ealdorman's squires at Montsend Castle. He later led his father's housecarls at the battle of Fort Aling. After his further military success at the battles of Gartyr and Trondalen Palace, he was awarded by King Astor with a knighthood and given the position of Captain of the King's personal guards, the infamous Red Riders. He witnessed the murder of Prince Solmund of Norland, which led him to kill the Prince of Soraland. Despite this blunder, he is still in good graces with King Astor. In a tent he was spotted by Magnus Montsend while taking a bath, which revealed he was a girl posing as a boy to be able to inherit the title and lands of his father. Eira has been living as Einar since the age of seven, by order of his father. He does agree with it, as he has never really felt like a lady, preferring archery and sword fighting in armour over knitting and embroidery in fine dresses. Only a small group of people know Einar was born a girl.
