Ael Frigson

Originally a merchant by trade - became an Ironsworn when his wife Hildegunn was killed by a Horror after he left her and their son alone while he went to procure additional provisions during a particularly bad trip in the wilds. His son, Vul, survived by hiding in the back of the cart while Hildegunn lured the horror away. Ael found her body several hours later quite far from the cart, the horror’s severed arm still around her throat - she’d managed to maim the creature before it killed her.

Ael has sworn to hunt this one-armed horror down and has created a talisman out of its hand, a reminder of his loss and a means of identifying and tracking the horror. Vul’s care has been trusted to the elders of Veilholm, their hometown. It’s been many years since the incident, and though the boy still suffers nightmares, he’s growing into a formidable young man.

Ael has a burgeoning relationship with Naewyn, a free warden who has taken an extended contract to patrol the roads around Veilholm. He’s smitten, but he’s also ashamed of how he feels - thinking it a betrayal of Hildegunn’s memory. He’s resolved to put his feelings aside until the horror is finally put down.
