THE WORD Runequest Campaign
Merdar

Written by: Unknown

Merdar's father was killed two years previously by broos that ambushed him from the banks of the Zola Fel. This took place within the land controlled by Raus.

Despite the outcries of many of the River Folk, Raus took little or no action to avenge the death. Frustrated with Raus' lack of respect for the river people and inaction against the forces of Chaos that slew his father, Merdar joined Yelmalio in the hope of making a name for himself and someday avenging his father's death.

Several weeks ago, Merdar overheard a conversation between Talonspear and Invictus about Raus' condition. Being a diplomatic person, Merdar was willing to accept that Raus was not neccessarily in control of his actions. Merdar humbly presented himself before Invictus and, being honest and forthright, told Invictus that he had overheard his conversation with Talonspear. Invictus suggested that if Merdar was indeed interested in settling the score with Chaos, he could join Talonspear's half-file in its attempt to remove Chaos from the area. Despite Invictus' other concerns, the amount of danger, and Merda'r youth, Merdar accepted the challenge, as it presented him his best opportunity to meet his goals.

Merda'r mother, Lily, sails on a passenger boat between Nochet City and Corflu. She recently saw some man carry a parcel of documents to Nochet and back again...

Merdar has no brothers or sisters. His only other relative is his Uncle Jorg, who has provided Merdar with more cousins than he can count. Jorg is something of a distrustful soul. Thief, womanizer, and ruffian are all good descriptions of him. Jorg has been through the underground circles in Pavis, Rone, Corflu, and Boldhome. He has since been removed (by force on occasion) from said circles. His information network is no longer as accurate as it used to be. Jorg has been known to do a good deed from time to time, especially if a little gold ends up in his purse for his trouble. The death of Merdar's father did seem to genuinely upset Jorg.
