Gherald Feynord

The First Traitor, Brotherslayer, Rankar's Bane.

Early life
Little is known of Gherald's youth but the fact that he was born in Rankar in the year 119 E.G. There he presumably lived in the capital Jettra as a carpenter's son until he awakened his Talents in 138 E.G.

The exact circumstances are not clear, but Gherald was exiled from Rankar after abusing his newfound powers.

Joining the Order
In 140 E.G., Gherald was forced to travel to Eresath in the custody of First Commander and Son of Sha Arthus Harwell after comitting several crimes in Setha. Arthus was determined he could train Gherald into a decent man and took him in as his pupil.

Brotherslayer
Once officialy a member of the Order and starting training, Gherald kept up the appearance of a converted man and played along with the rules of Eresath. In secret though, he sought and recruited fellow members of the Order who wanted to do more with their powers than just serve the Order. This went on for several years until he finally thought himself strong enough. In 152 E.G., he left Eresath together with over two hundred of his followers, killing fellow Order members who tried to stop him, earning him the title of Brotherslayer.

The Order, not prepared for this kind of situation, was unable to stop Gherald from leaving and he made his way deep into the Idaer kingdom where he lay low for a few years and recruited more men to his army.

Rankar's Bane
In the year 158 E.G., Gherald and his army emerged from hiding and made an unexpected move on the small kingdom of Rankar, where he had been born. Unprepared for such a ferocious attack, Rankar's capital Jettra was completely and utterly destroyed. Before word of this reached the Order or any other kingdom, Gherald's army had scourged the lands of Rankar and left behind only desolation and burned bodies.
