Background
Life in Dun Artan is rarely easy, but Ragnar Absalon has had it harder than most. It was the death in 504 A.G. of his father, Baron Egil, at the hands of the pretender 'King of Dun Artan' Tostig that set off the civil war in Guardian, and by the end of the conflict, his mother was dead as well. His elder brother Thorvald was made baron in the aftermath of the civil war, but a run-in with the followers of Vox and the strain of the war damaged him, and in a short time, he disappeared into the mountains, presumed dead.
Ragnar was named baron in 506 A.G. after Thorvald's disappearance, the youth not expected to rule at all now suddenly inheriting the notoriously unruly barony at a time when the shifting tides of politics created more and more rebels looking to escape into the mountains. He has since tried to rule justly but fairly, the young man determined to inspire loyalty and honour in the citizens of his often fractured and factious homeland by evidencing those selfsame qualities, without the short-tempered and brash mien of his vanished and unfortunate brother. That resolve has been stoked all the further by the catastrophe at Rayder Pass, the price of both Lord Arcadius' avarice and Lady Mildryth's rush to violent response serving as poignant object lessons for the still inexperienced Ragnar.
On March 28, 508 A.G., Ragnar was murdered under a banner of truce by a member of the tribes in his home of Caer Cathrtha.
