Aldwin Thorne

Born into nobility on the Sword Coast, son of a councilman and advisor to the Masked Lords of Waterdeep, Aldwin was a well-respected member of the Lord's Alliance prior to his leave in discovery of new lands. With half a decade behind him, Aldwin has collected many medals of honour for his feats of strategy and bravery in leading forces of the Sword Coast against evil. He was once a pious worshippers of Tor, a noble and honourable god of Toril.

Eskarya
Since the founding of Fort Eskarya, Aldwin's ambition has grown as visions of a great Kingdom have become that of an Empire, a mass feudal state that keeps law and order in the name of peace in the Empire of Eskarya. Not long after the founding of the Empire, the King and Emperor heard the songs and messengers of Zitus, a zealous god of judgement, order and war. Seeing the devastated land and need for an end to its corruption, Aldwin endorsed and obliged in the worship of a native deity to Elysia.

Before long, Aldwin would become a messenger for Zitus, making the commandments of the god of justice a pivotal part of the foundations of his Empire. Funding the construction of a great temple and commissioning the organisation of the Templars of Zitus, law and order would be kept by the faithful of Eskarya.

Following bloodshed in the east, where the forces of Eskarya and Khokkolun clashed, the council of nobles in Eskarya me and agreed terms of ceasefire with the City of Monsters, but it was announced as a fragile peace that could be broken at any moment. With zealous nature of the growing Empire, the division of peoples has also grown, as has the deep rooted prejudice within them. Those that could be deemed as 'monstrous' have seen themselves marked as unworthy by followers of Zitus, so too the people who turned of heathen gods.

Whilst the divisions remains in society, the public opinion of Aldwin Thorne remains strong in majority, though a vocal minority has grown as of late and with great disdain at the growing measures put in place by the Empire.
