Darion Blackgard

Intro Darion Blackgard became Lord of House Blackgard at just fifteen. A heavy burden for a boy. He lost his mother during childbirth, leaving him with a newborn sister, Nyx. That tragedy carved a deep line of responsibility in his heart. He vowed to protect her, to honor their family name. His father’s sudden death further complicated his youth. An accident? Or worse? Whispers of assassination haunted the halls of Ebonheart Castle. This only fueled Darion’s desire to become a strong leader. He immersed himself in books about history and warfare. He trained tirelessly with a sword, determined to defend his people and uncover the truth. The harsh landscape of the Ashlands mirrored his challenges. The soil was poor, yet the volcanic earth gifted them with rich metals. Darion turned to trade, forging alliances to secure resources. His tactical mind made him a skilled diplomat. He commanded 7,000 sworn levies, yet he never forgot the fragility of life. Duty drives him. Honor guides him. Behind his warlike exterior lies a young man shaped by loss, fiercely protective of those he loves. House Blackgard currently is sworn to House Tully, but they don’t have much contact.
