Romulon Greymane is a Wolfborn warrior, born in the forests of Saigan, south of Veiltouria. A tenacious warrior and forward thinking leader, Romulon united the Wolfborn people and led them through the Saigan Wall and into Forestsedge, where they rebuilt the ruined city of Staghelm. Over time, the Wolfborn turned the small settlement into a powerful nation, eventually joining The Guardian Alliance.

## History

Romulon Greymane was born deep in within Saigan Forest, and as with many Wolfborn, danger and hunger were his companions from his first breath. The largest in his parents litter, Romulon was born in wolf form, as is tradition for those of his bloodline. Romulon's father, Remesian, was a member of the elite Wolfborn cadre of warriors known as Lupisians. White furred, Lupisians have a conflux of magic surging through their veins, often manifesting in strange and unique ways.

Romulon's magic presented itself in his ability to exist in both wolf form and man simultaneously, a power he called his Shadow self. From a young age Romulon trained to master this ability, and it granted him great power and skill. He used this power to assume control of the pack after his fathers death, and then to unite many of the neighboring packs within his command as well, all before his twentieth year. Romulon had been raised on his fathers stories of Veiltouria, its peoples and their vast kingdoms, and the young pack leader wanted that for himself and his people.

During this time uniting the packs and unifying the Wolfborn, Romulon met a human woman in the forest, her scent intriguing and scaring him. Concerned she was a scout for a larger force, he resolved to kill her. Timing his strike, Romulon leapt through the trees, hoping to make it quick. Instead, he was grabbed and crushed, a huge Bronze Dragon standing where the woman had been. Realizing his mistake, that she had truly been a dragon shapeshifted to avoid detection, Romulon prepared for death.

Death would not come this day for the wolfborn warrior. Instead, the dragon spared him, and gave her name as Estarias. The two soon began to converse, and Romulon fell hopelessly in love. For a time, Estarias would come in and out of Romulon's life, giving aid to his cause when she could. Though eventually, she to realized the full extent of her feelings and made her permanent home within the wolfborn packs of Saigan. It wasn't long until the pair welcomed their daughter Tamika into the world, the first dragon/wolfborn hybrid to ever exist.

Following the birth of his daughter, Romulon resolved to make a new home for his people. Sending scouts into Forestsedge, he waited for his chance. Time passed, and his people grew restless, but Romulon knew that they could not conquer land and be welcomed. They would have to find the opportunity to integrate. Soon, The War of The Keys gave him that opportunity.

### Staghelm Rebuilt

When the city of Staghelm was destroyed by Edward The Eighth, Romulon knew his moment had come. The Wolfborn used the chaos of the war, and the upheaval thereafter, to migrate through the Saigan Wall and into the destroyed region where Staghelm once stood. The Wolfborn found what was left of Staghelm being rebuilt by the few survivors left. It soon become a haven for those displace by the war, with small settlements and villages forming all around the region. The Wolfborn integrated into the existing populace with a drive and work ethic solely focused on gaining acceptance. Keeping their wolfen nature hidden as best they could, Romulon divided them into smaller packs so as to not be seen coveting rule, though in truth he hoped it would be inevitable. Working with a fury and drive born from hope, Staghelm was rebuilt over the next ten years, with smaller settlements and establishments growing out of the former village. In truth, Staghelm had become a city, albeit a developing one, and the strains of no centralized leadership soon became apparent.

After years of laying in wait, Romulon made his move. Challenging the current Baron for his title, Romulon brought the full weight of his Wolfborn followers to bear, the many smaller packs having become influential and key figures in the community. He was unanimously elected Baron, and set about further cementing Staghelm as a nation of repute.

### The Siege of Staghelm

Some years after attaining Barony, Romulon was met with tragedy. During this time, Estarias and Romulon had their second a child, a son named Skoldarion. Lifer was seemingly going well for Staghelm, until Jaq Maelstrom and The Brotherhood of Valor attacked the city. Despite Estarias and Romulon's power, Jaq's vast magical abilities proving difficult to combat. The final blow came when Jaq mentally possessed Tamika, forcing her to attack her father, who struggled to stay alive. Eventually, both Estarias and Romulon surrendered, and Jaq began mentally enslaving the entire city.

After days of sacrificing innocents civilians in a massive ritual, Jaq was attacked by a group of warriors known as The Chaos Hounds. During the skirmish, Skoldarion was killed and Romulon was freed. Seeing his sons body, Romulon flew into a rage and joined in the fight against Jaq, who had assumed a demonic form. The Chaos Hounds eventually killed Jaq, though took heavy losses in the process, the group were then forced to recover in Staghelm. Helping to rebuild the city, they also extended an invitation from The Guardian Council to Romulon, who accepted gladly. The entire ordeal had shown him he and his people needed allies.

### The Guardian Council

Meeting with King Bill, Romulon made his request to have Staghelm brought into the fold. Guardian protection and trade agreements would help boost Staghelm's economy a hundredfold, and the recognition form their powerful neighbors would boost his peoples hope even more. Bill readily accepted, and proposed Staghelm raise a contingent of Rangers to patrol the forests and keep them safe. Romulon then attended his first meeting as a sitting member of the Council, meeting individuals like Emperor Amon Mordai of Illithien and The Winter King Hroarmungund of Jotunhall. He had finally achieved his dream of his people standing side by side with the cities from the stories he grew up on.

### Recent Events

Romulon arranged for his daughter to meet with Eddie High-Hill, the adopted son of King Bill, in hopes of the two taking a liking to one another and strengthening the bonds between their houses. He has also been forced to battle waves of Gnoll incursions, the war bands serving a being known as The Laughing Lord.
