== Biography ==
===Childhood===
Ondwyn was born to a notable merchant family in the town of Hafireso. He led an easy life, raised by his father and mother, as well as their Croll's servants, with whom he is affectionate. He was given a quality education thanks to his family's commercial success, and was taught in math, history, geography, music, and languages, among other things. He engaged vigorously in his studies and took to them with gusto. 
As he grew older, given Hafireiso's proximity to the ocean and the cliffs, Ondwyn took up fishing as a hobby and became familiar with sailing, as well as hiking and mountaineering. He came to love traveling, and his exploration eventually led him into contact with the Beru Nomads, an indigenous group given to journeying. 
Although he was poised and trained to inherit control of his family's businesses, the day when that would come was far off when Ondwyn reached adulthood. As such, he began feeling purposeless and increasingly uncertain of what he wanted in life. He began to seek out novelties in his hometown, living in a state of boredom for several years. 
===Betrothal===
Due to connections between his father and the elite of Varrenvar, Ondwyn was betrothed to the daughter of Askur Hrafn, Iyvanor, and began to court her. As he spent more time in the capital, he became more acquainted with the rest of the family of his betrothed. He took an especial liking to his future nephew-in-law, Maestro Reisul, as Ondwyn found the young prince's energy and ambition admirable. 
By a happy coincidence, both his wife and Reisul owned estates south of Varrenvar which bordered each other, having been gifted to them by the Crown several decades ago. The lands were collectively known as the Esumo Forests and were severely underdeveloped, consisting mostly of forests, untilled farmland, and a small cottage or two. Despite this, he grew to love the land as much as he did his own hometown. He took to spending time there with Iyvanor and Reisul, discussing their potential future.
===Eight Nomad's Bliss===
Eventually he received an invitation to join some Beru nomads on one of the caravans, and they journeyed to Talasi, where they had many adventures. These adventures changed the course of Ondwyn's life, making him realize that he ought to be more productive and help other people. 
===Foundation of Kranach===
Following the caravan, he and Reisul immediately began the construction of an extravagant cathedral in Esumo. Plans were drawn up in a traditional style featured all across Tanragh. Thanks to hefty sums of money from his family's business and Reisul's inheritance, the Cathedral was completed in just under two years. 
During this time, little Reisul grew up and desired to take after the Maestro kings of yore. Studying historical records, he decided to form a knightly order in the vein of the Order Müvielle, calling it the Order of the Crane. With Ondwyn's help, Reisul dedicated the order to the protection of the Korlenten and rediscovering their knightly heritage. 
With those goals in mind, the pair decided to invite people to live alongside them. Iyvanor and Reisul signed a land agreement, allowing their two estates to be the site of the town of Kranach, named after the Order they had just formed. Ondwyn and Reisul became engrossed in the work of breaking the ground, inviting residents, guilds, and industries to set up shop in the new settlement. 
===Skirmish at Fort Istvan===
In 59 TGZ, House Maestro was called upon to siege a fort built by Astilor Bela on the border between two of the provinces immediately north of Varrenvar. Ondwyn fulfilled his duties, joining in a skirmish where he and the rest of House Maestro's forces attacked the fort, overwhelming it with superior numbers. He joined his brother-in-law, Maestro Muviel II, as well as Reisul, on the roof of the fort to proclaim victory to the allied forces.
===Dupeth===
In 60 TGZ, the Dupe of Lathralt, Boryevzor Eyeneharr, stepped down, citing preoccupation with other duties. With the role now vacant, Greva Korlent Maestro Veidrar began searching for a new candidate to fulfill the role. His eye eventually fell upon Ondwyn, due to his efforts in Kranach and for his loyalty to Croll Maestro. He began meeting with Ondwyn over the coming months to test, evaluate, and teach Ondwyn of the duties that would be required with him. 
During this time, Ondwyn and Reisul mustered all the forces of Kranach to help clear and resettle a destroyed, run-down town.
At the end of the year, it was made official and Ondwyn was granted the Dupeth of Lathralt.
==Appearance and abilities==
Ondwyn is just under 6 feet tall, and of average build and weight. He has sandy blond hair and sports a prominent mustache. His eyes are a clear aqua color. He carries himself with a stern grace borne of a rigid upbringing and time spent being active outdoors.
