Harmast is my name, and I am the firstborn son of the great chieftain Baranthos Dunorlson. You have no doubt heard of me. My clan, the Ernaldori, are loyal Sartar, famed for our prudence and our success.
True, my clan defended Colymar tribal lands while others rushed off to war, but when they returned, where were the thanks for our service? I fought in the Battle at Pennel Ford alongside my kinsfolk, and saw the crowning of the Prince of Sartar.
My friends and enemies alike know me for a man of words, an envoy and skilled negotiator, but they also know that this fine sword at my side is not for show.
Harmast is from a noble lineage of the Colymar tribe. His father is the chieftain of the Ernaldori clan, and his grandfather and great-uncle were kings of that tribe. His family is famed for their loyalty to Sartar and for their caution: Harmast’s family survived the Lunar Occupation with their lives (and wealth) intact, whereas others of their clan perished.
Harmast was initiated into the cult of Issaries, and tried to avoid the growing conflict in Dragon Pass, preferring talk and negotiation to warfare. However, following the Great Winter, Harmast fought a duel with a thane from the Grey Dog clan and killed him; the thane’s kin have sworn vengeance upon Harmast. Harmast fought at the Battle of Pennel Ford, alongside his kinfolk, Vasana and Yanioth. He witnessed the Dragonrise and fought for Starbrow during the Liberation of Sartar, acclaiming her as Prince.
Of average size and appearance, Harmast has close-cropped dark hair and surprisingly bright eyes. His garments and gear are well made and boast ornate decorative motifs, a clear display of his family’s wealth. He is occasionally a bit arrogant, and quickly defensive when it comes to his choice to remain and defend his family’s farm estate when others of his kin answered King Broyan’s call.
