Tirion Fordring

CharacterAliveNone
First ImpressionAn old man in a farmer's coat outside a one-room hut, splitting wood. There is a warhorse in the paddock that is much too good for a farmer.

Human · Disgraced paladin; hermit · None · Eastern Plaguelands

One of the five founding knights of the Order of the Silver Hand. He was excommunicated and exiled years ago for a single act: he spared the life of an orc, Eitrigg, who had saved his — and refused to recant.

He lost his lands, his title, his order, and access to his son.

He now lives alone in a hut in the Eastern Plaguelands, drinking, surrounded by the Scourge, and refusing to be the man everyone needs him to be.

What They Want

  • To be left alone — he says this, and it isn't true
  • His son out of the Scarlet Crusade, alive
  • The Silver Hand to have meant what he thought it meant
  • To stop being angry, which he has not managed

Voice

  • Speech: blunt, tired, occasionally very funny
  • Tic: he deflects sincerity with sarcasm and it fools nobody
  • Never says: Uther's name without pausing first
  • When it matters: the paladin is still entirely there, and it is startling
