Lord Roland Redleif
Lord of The Tumnal Tower
Roland Redleif, Lord of the Tumnal Tower, is a long-lived and steadfast protector of the Noureen Wood, known for his deep connection to the forests and animals under his care. He was married to the late Yara Cressan, a woman of noble lineage, linking him to the influential House Cressan. As a father, Roland has twin daughters: Shierra, who is married to Eldan Ishar and is being groomed to take over his role upon his death, and Searra, who is controversially married to King Loras StormClaw I, marking the first interspecies royal marriage in the empire's history. This union has brought both prestige and scrutiny to House Redleif, further amplifying Roland’s position in the realm.
Beyond his familial ties, Roland is distinguished by his unwavering commitment to the natural world, often prioritizing the well-being of the forests and wildlife over that of his smallfolk. This passion has made him a dedicated steward of the Noureen Wood, but it has also led to criticism from those who feel he neglects the needs of his human and fae subjects. He harbors a deep resentment toward the House Waile for their pollution and deforestation, seeing them as a direct threat to the lands he cherishes, yet his calls for action are often met with indifference from the ruling House Ishar, leaving him frustrated and increasingly isolated in his fight to preserve the woodlands.
Despite these challenges, Roland maintains his resolve, drawing strength from his belief that the Noureen Wood must be protected for future generations. His legacy is marked by a sense of duty to the environment, a desire to uphold the traditions of his ancestors, and a commitment to ensuring that his daughters continue to lead House Redleif with the same dedication and respect for nature that has defined his own life.
