Darvin Elkwood

Darvin Elkwood is a pragmatic and battle-worn leader, having served as Town Master of Triboar for nearly a decade. A former ranger who once guided caravans and protected trade routes, Darvin earned his reputation as a steadfast defender of the town long before stepping into politics. His weathered face and streaks of gray in his once-dark hair speak of long years under the open sky, and his sharp hazel eyes carry both warmth and an edge of quiet vigilance. While he lacks the polish of a nobleman, his leadership is rooted in experience and genuine care for Triboar’s people. He governs with a steady hand, balancing diplomacy and decisive action, knowing that Triboar’s position as a crossroads for merchants and adventurers makes it both a beacon of opportunity and a target for those seeking to exploit it.
Despite his gruff exterior, Darvin is deeply loyal to those who stand for the town’s welfare. He sees Orlen Brighthall’s growing influence as a dangerous threat, though he struggles to counter the noble’s well-funded manipulations. The Town Master relies on honest alliances with merchants, local militia, and visiting adventurers to maintain order, but he is painfully aware that corruption and outside pressures are closing in. If the party gains his trust, Darvin will prove a staunch ally, offering his knowledge of the region’s history, its hidden paths, and the forces at play behind Triboar’s unrest. However, should he fall, the town’s last major barrier against Orlen’s complete control would crumble—an outcome Darvin fears more than his own fate.
