Arandir Swiftwing

Lord of Tor Elyr, Arandir Swiftwing suffers from a misshapen hip after his beloved steed, Sarothiel was shot by a poison-tipped crossbow bolt thirty years ago, during a skirmish with Druchii raiders seeking to plunder the northern herds of Ellyrion. His horse died so swiftly that she could not prevent herself from rolling over her rider and crushing his pelvis. With the healers unable to reknit the bone, and his muscles having reformed wrongly around the ossified mass, Arandir has grown bitter. He hates the Fates of Morai-Heg, that she had cursed him so. A lord of Ellyrion who could not ride. Now every time he thought of Sarothiel, the pain in his hip would return. With such a painful limp, his days of riding alongside his warriors were long gone.
