David von Kendal

David quickly proved himself to be a valuable asset to the town, helping to develop it and the surrounding province of Ardena. He was eventually adopted by Salos von Kendal, and went on to become an international diplomat for Ardena. He was instrumental in negotiating the rejoining deal with Andorn that would see Ardena become a province within Andorn.

David von Kendal trusted them until he realized how wobbly their government was, he couldn't risk losing it all for a nation that would come tumbling down at any moment.
