Ramhart Redmayne

Lord-liege of Firehold, Guardian of the South, Overseer of The Crown, Dragon Prince, Lord-Commander

"Remember Friends, Honour Burns Brightest"

Fire and Honour

As head of House Redmayne, Ramhart takes his ancestral words by heart. His honour dictate his actions and not the other way around. He is large in size and mighty in stature and is considered by many to be one of the most esteemed and chivalrous knights of the dominion. He wields Honourbound, a large broadsword that seems impossible to use. It's the ancestral weapon of his House and was crafted by Gaelhart Redmayne himself. It's rumoured to be coated in an ancient magic that forms to its wielder, giving it abilities and features that synergize with their fighting style.

Once, his House was blessed by the Unknown, and its head would inherit a strong affinity with either Phānix or Āfreet. However, after the Unknown, Ramhart renounced this inheritance and the blessing was claimed by Ûbel, Fire Lord of Lithion.

Lord-Liege

After his father, Limehart Redmayne, passed away, Ramhart took over as Lord-liege of Firehold, House Redmayne's ancestral seat. The impenetrable fortress has 4 cornering towers surrounding a centering tower that easily reaches 200 meters. An extensive library, second only to that of Elderville, can be found within the thick and dark walls and is frequented by Ramhart. His interest and expertise on history, culture and ancient mysteries is directly reflected in the decisions he makes. Namely, the creation of the Eyes of Ramhart, which lead the various expeditions to the uncharted Deep South. The group consists of handpicked individuals from his Ord Onórach, an already prestigious and unrivaled order of knights. 

Dragon Prince

Ramhart was bestowed the title of 'Dragon Prince'  during the Unknown, by his close friend Arnold Agolith. Ever since, Ramhart has acted as the 10th of the Dhûr-Lhûg only answering directly to the Dragon King himself. His dragon, Urrax, has been with him since his 10th year, making him one of the oldest dragonriders in the order, and possibly the world.

Lord-Commander

"Every King has a Redmayne at their side", is a quote that cannot be more true. After his father's passing, Ramhart also took upon the role as Lord-Commander for The Royal Army. A role he has dutifully fulfilled until the Unknown, where he has yet to be spotted at the front lines. His motives aren't completely clear, but it appears he believes that the war is senseless and could be easily avoided. Additionally, to the frustration of the king, Franko Agolith, he has recalled his own troops after the Unknown, in preparation for another possible attack.
