About
Balrion is a solitary ranger from the deep forests of Raven's Nest—a man more at home beneath towering pines than within city walls. Quiet, precise, and calm in a way that unsettles some, Balrion is the kind of figure who speaks only when necessary—and always with purpose.
Little is known about his past, though it’s said he was raised by the High Raven after a fire claimed his family farm. He rarely speaks of it. Instead, he wanders the wilderness with the ease of someone who has known hardship and found peace in the wild. Some call him a protector. Others whisper that he’s a watcher—keeping track of movements and changes no one else sees.
Balrion has been seen aiding the Defenders of Mundus during moments of great crisis, often appearing just when needed most. He speaks with reverence of the old ways and occasionally references saints and spirits rarely mentioned in the cities. Though he denies belonging to any political faction, he’s recently shown interest in the wellbeing of Prince Ethian and has expressed concern for the Empire’s fragile future.
Notable Traits
- Sharp eyes, worn cloak, and a scar over his left eye
- Master tracker and survivalist
- Refers to himself as a "Raven of the Forest"
- Keeps to the wilds, but always seems to know what’s happening in the world
Rumors
They say Balrion has access to ancient intelligence records, and may know more about the current crisis than even the Senate. Some believe his arrows are blessed by Saint Nerva herself. Others simply believe he listens—to the trees, the birds, and the wind—and the world answers him in return.
