## Biography:

### Early Life:

Finrain was born the eldest son of High Lord Karas Neltar of Roseford and was raised to rule. He would live well with his brothers Tolard and Ardor, as well as his sister Vienna.

He would train as a knight with several other young high lords from across the kingdom . During that time he would engage in a melee with the young son of a Dragonbinder and would soundly defeat him earning much renown, but later the boy would return with his dragon and burn the face of Finrain leaving the young man with a great hatred of Dragonbinders and fear of their beasts.

### Lordship of Roseford:

His father would die after a period of illness leaving Finrain the new high lord of his beloved Rosford, he would quickly gain the approval of the ruling House Harrlada and would make himself part of the Northwall court.

During the last War of the Suns, Grand Duke Dorian Vellens of Ordon attempted to reclaim his family's throne from their Orelion kinsmen. Finrain would support his liege Torhan who was loyal to the current Orelion-Vellens’ Emperor Zalahari, winning many battles with the Ordon forces and defeated many of their warriors with his family mace, Foehammer.

### Downfall:

At the end of the war, most of House Vellens of Ordon were brutally murdered by Zalahari along with many houses that supported the rebels, such as the northern House Urgont.

He openly spoke out against this during a feast, requesting that his liege Torrhan pardon the members of House Urgont that had no part in the rebellion. Claiming that Finrain was committing treason against the Empire, Torrhan had him arrested and dragged away to prison.

Unbeknowest to Finrain, his liege who he had been nothing but loyal to had made a deal with his vassal Ranyold Royce seeing him as a preferrable vassal, one more loyal, ruthless and less charitable to the peasantfolk, which would earn him more influence and tax from Roseford.

Soon Roseford was under the control of House Royce and House Neltar was scattered to the wind, hunted by Harralda loyalist Jorah Cerwyn, as Finrain was carted off to the imperial capitol of Rahanas where he was locked away in the Red Tower. While in the red cells, he would learn of his brother Ardor's death but the escape of his brother Tolord and niece Ayra thanks to the aid of his kinsmen Rendon Grande. He was put on trial but it proved to be less then fair, as the judge was bribed, jury was composed solely of his enemies and he was barely allowed to speak in his defense. He would give a pensioned speech in his defense, stating his motive and meanings, but the judge would take it as a confession as sentence him to death. He was taken to the steps of the great cathedral of Rahanas and beheaded by his former liege Torrhan using the axe Frostfang.

### Legacy:

Finrain's head was placed in the Chamber of Skulls and his headless body was placed in the tombs of Roseford as some slim form of respect.

Upon hearing of his brother's rigged trial and dishonorable execution, Tolord would swear bloody vengeance against the Harrladas and Royces, causing a great blood-feud.

## Personality:

He was a noble and honorable lord, always serving his liege. He cared deeply for his family and was friendly to those living under his rule. He had a great hatred of Dragonbinders and fear of their dragons.
