Lord **Darian Lyonesse** was a Stormwind nobleman who ruled over the Duchy of Redmarch, the Duchy of Lakeshire, and the Margravite of the Northern Pass. He was a Knight of the Brotherhood of the Horse, and sponsored his own chapter known as the Redmarch Cavaliers. As the Margrave of the Northern Pass, and a Lord with much presence and territory in Redridge, Darian was responsible for maintaining a strong security force to protect Stormwind from it's northern foes. Namely the Gnoll tribes and the Blackrock Orcs that took hold in Redridge and the Burning Steppes.

Darian is best remembered as the one who started the Stormwind Civil War, a conflict in which Darian failed to force his claim for the throne of Stormwind during the absence of King Anduin Wrynn. A claim of which he legitimized through a distant relation he had with Llane Wrynn. While the College of Arms acknowledged his claim at the time, the Parliament refused him and thus the King-Claimant set the pieces in motion to attempt to take the throne by force. Following later investigation of his estate and the hidden records of the royal line, it was discovered that Darian's was a bastard line, and that he had no proper claim to the throne.

Following the conclusion of the Civil conflict, Darian Lyonesse was captured, and awaits trial.
