Karan

The ruler of Areni.

History
King Godwyn's scribe letters summoned a council of the lords to Casta Palladia. Besides Lord Karan, there was also Lady Helen of Kaddan, Avanum of Wranthorn (accompanied by his son Tarn and their guard Arjent Azure), Khan Naddar, Lord Kadrowe, and Frederick de Rudden.

On the way to the council meeting, the lords had a quick conversation about the way many kingdoms seemed to be falling to the Damanulites. In the council, Godwyn immediately brought out the wyvern's scale that had been brought to him by the messenger from the mines. It was identified by Khan as a wyvern's scale - a forged wyvern scale. As wyverns are incapable of forging, it was decided that the wyverns were likely artificially forged. Someone was building an army, but the council did not know who.

The council went on to address that granaries south of Wade had been destroyed by wyverns despite an increased dragon presence. In response, Frederick promised to speak to the elders of Dregya to request reinforcements, while Lady Helen asked if Warodan archers might not be a better choice. Godwyn said that what he needed was eyes and ears, and asked if he could count on all the lords - to which they all responded aye, and drank.

At that point the council was interrupted by a strong, disasterous light coming from the hall of the Faetree - the light of the sealing of Lynn de Luctes, who had drawn a grimlas spear.
