Addfwyn

72

A gentle, kind healer and apothecary for a small village, she is the daughter of a local folk hero; a hunter who saved the people from a dangerous beast ten and three years ago. Addfwyn grew up tending to her father's wounds sustained on hunts, often minor scrapes but occasionally a wild boar would humble him. She is beloved by the townspeople who rely on her potions and elixers to stave off illness and keep the various curses of the land at bay. You see, this land of the Fellwyld has a darkness; an insatiable hunger that, outside the protective glow and silvered border of the village, will slowly turn a man mad if the damnable fae creatures do not take him first. Addfwyn has devoted herself to keeping her people safe at any cost, sometimes even braving the wilds to find fresh new ingredients to experiment with. She dreams of a life free from the shadow of the Fellwyld where people can live without fear.

Blaidd

30

A hunter from a small village within the Fellwyld. Hunters are rare as the bravery and grit required to face the far horrors beyond the village end in most dying and those few who survive going insane. Blaidd holds a modicum of safety from the fae with a silver and iron talisman around his neck, a keepsake his wife left him before she left both him and their daughter Addfwyn. Many years ago, not long after Addfwyn was born, a terrible beast prowled the edges of the village, stopping trade from the Lantern Guild and trapping the villagers within the silver ring that keeps the beasts at bay. Blaidd set out, bow in hand and iron axe at his hip to hunt the beast. He tracked it to a wellspring and attacked, taking the beast by surprise with his brazen and unexpected aggression. He took a claw raked across his face as a souvenir but brought the beast low, simultaneously saving the village and feeding them from Beltine through the harvest. He protects his own fiercely, Addfwyn especially.
