Sir Draven Hardgate

You know better than anyone the gods are not always clear, never mind kind. The road from here is not always clear to me.

Sir Draven Hardgate was a Bastonian member of the Companions of the Light and a historically-significant member of the Hardgate Family. He served as the de-facto second and final Earl of Hardgate and later came to be first Baron Pendragon. Draven had a remarkable life, entangled in events as far flung from one another as the sack of the Seelie Tower and the War of the Southern Expansion. The adventures of Draven and his incidental companions are the subject of Entangling Vines; as such, a detailed accounting of his life and adventures is being withheld until the story is ready for publication.

When the narrative first encounters him, Sir Draven is still licking his wounds from the fall of Seelie Tower, but is plunged into adventure with the sudden death of his father, Billiam, First Earl Hardgate. He and his foil and travelling companion Oleander Jonquil form the "Northern Perspective" of the narrative.
