Arthur Feldenstrom

"I am not leaving my post simply to eat breakfast."

- Arthur Feldenstrom, Volume 1

A guard from Buran Mine.

History
Arthur's first appearance was in Volume 1, when he was arguing with his younger sister Sandra about his breakfast. It changed into teasing very quickly, but the conversation didn't last long. When the wyverns attacked their home of Buran Mine in the middle of the conversation, Arthur ordered Sandra to get their mother and father and run away immediately.

During the attack, Lord Ward was injured. Arthur reported this to Farden, and was ordered to take Lord Ward and one of the wyvern scales from the attacking beasts to Palladia, and to bring back help. On his ride towards Palladia, he passed Stein Phais. As there was a wyvern in hot pursuit of Arthur, he told Stein to run, but the mage refused and chose to take a stand. As Arthur continued riding towards Palladia rather than pausing to see the outcome, he wouldn't learn of what happened to the wyvern until later. However, he did see the burst of light that was Stein's magic against the wyvern in the distance.

Finally reaching Palladia, Arthur burst in on meeting between King Godwyn, Melchial Asheri, and Antheus Prayne. When questioned by Melchial on whether or not Arthur had seen anyone matching the description of the supposed Dragonlord from the border, Arthur confirmed he had seen Stein and mentioned the young man hadn't even seemed afraid of the wyvern. At this point King Godwyn ordered Lady Andrea and her squadron sent to defeat the remaining beasts and evacuate the wounded. He then thanked Arthur for his service and dismissed him. He also placed a bounty on Stein's head at this time due to the confirmation given by Arthur.

On the way to Buran Mines, the pair is unknowingly eavesdropped on by Stein Phais. Lady Andrea quickly meets up with the two, reporting the situation in Buran and making certain to inform Arthur that his family survived. She also reports the carcass of one of the wyverns near the mine, stating it looked like the work of the Reaper of Ardunat. Following up on Andrea's tip on the carcass near the mines, Antheus confirmed that it looked like the Reaper of Ardunat's work. He told Arthur that as soon as they made it to Buran, they would have to send a message warning Palladia of this.
