Brynden Isolde

Stoic and reserved, Corwyn Isolde is a man of few words—but those words are always remembered.

Revered as the greatest living swordmaster in Verelyn, though he no longer takes up the blade publicly.

Deeply bound by duty and law, but not without compassion—he simply believes honor is what you do when no one praises you for it.

Though his house bore no royal blood, his sense of honor is such that even Aelius treats him with familial reverence.

Drystan, his only son, serves as Aelius's personal bodyguard—a quiet symbol of how much trust Corwyn offers the Crown.

Avoids court politics, but his word holds enormous weight. He is regarded as a living embodiment of Old Verelyn's ideals.

His wife, Lady Elira, vanished during the war - he has refused to remarry.
