Thorian Eisenherz

== Description ==
Mayor Thorian Ironheart is a stalwart and respected figure in the town of Kaester. Standing tall and broad-shouldered, his presence alone commands respect and confidence. With a weathered face marked by scars earned in countless battles, Thorian embodies the qualities of a seasoned soldier who has seen his fair share of adversity. His graying beard and piercing blue eyes reveal a wisdom that comes from both experience on the battlefield and leadership in challenging times.
== History ==
Thorian's past is intertwined with the region's history, particularly his service in the armies of the dukes of Avenwolf. As a young man, he joined the ranks as a soldier, swiftly rising through the ranks due to his exceptional combat skills, tactical brilliance, and unwavering dedication to his comrades. He fought in numerous campaigns, from quelling beasfolk raids to defending against marauding bands of bandits and at times even monsters.
His most defining moment came when he led a small army to the Battle of Stonehelm Pass, a decisive conflict against the powerful necromancer Malgrim Voidshadow who sought to unleash an undead horde upon the Confederation of Haystan. Though he and his men were only intended to buy time, Thorian's brilliant leadership and heroism on the battlefield secured the outmatched army a crushing victory and prevented Malgrim's dark plans from coming to fruition. It was Thorian himself that slew Malgrim during the battle.
Upon retiring from active duty, Thorian returned to Kaester, his hometown, where his family had lived for generations. For his honest nature and reputation and a war hero, he was elected to the role of mayor, bringing the same determination and strategic thinking to the task of governing and protecting the town. Thorian's connection to the duke's court allows him to muster resources and support in times of crisis.
As Emberot's undead horde descended upon Kaester, Thorian stepped up once again, using his military expertise and familiarity with the undead to organize the town's defenses. He coordinates patrols, fortifications, and supply routes, all while providing a steady hand to reassure the frightened townsfolk. Thorian is not only a brave warrior but also a compassionate leader who understands the weight of his decisions and the toll the crisis has taken on his people.
Under Mayor Thorian Ironheart's guidance, Kaester stands as a beacon of resistance against the encroaching darkness. His determination, strategic mind, and unwavering commitment to his town and its people make him an inspiring figure to the adventurers who seek to aid in the battle against the undead horde.
