Rhydan Eldrian
21
(Knight of Harbinger)
THE NAVIGATOR LEADER
Born the son of Baron Eldiran, Rhydan grew up surrounded by luxury, but the life of comfort never appealed to him. While his peers studied diplomacy and courtly manners, he snuck away to the docks to learn from his sailor uncle. From him, Rhydan learned to read the stars, chart courses through the wind, and guide ships across restless seas. His skill in navigation became legendary among seafarers long before he ever joined the Academy.At Auralis Academy, Rhydan became the silent anchor of the Horizon Seekers Division — a stabilizing force against the storm of Head Scholar Hefda Brestor’s boundless energy. While Hefda’s curiosity sends expeditions to the far corners of the Empire, Rhydan ensures they return home safely. His maps are clean, precise, and utterly dependable — so much so that even the Adventurer’s Guild requests copies for long journeys.Despite being born noble, he hides his lineage, preferring to earn respect through his actions rather than his name. Those who know him often describe him as “the calm wind that guides the reckless storm.”Rhydan is disciplined, composed, and quietly confident. He has a deep sense of responsibility and often takes charge when Hefda’s adventurous impulses lead the group into danger. Though serious in demeanor, he has a dry sense of humor and a surprisingly patient nature. Many scholars from other divisions seek his guidance because he can explain complex fieldwork or mapping techniques in ways everyone can understand.He rarely raises his voice, but when he does, even Hefda listens. His leadership is steady — not by authority, but by trust.
