Baron Joslyn Deyval is the starting hero for the Broken Lords.
Lore[]
Lycorn Manor lies at the foot of the Eastridge Marches, a critical border between the empire of the Broken Lords and the land bridge of the Burning Mountains that reaches the shores inhabited by the Necrophages. Warriors by nature and necessity, the Lycorns have a pivotal role in the defense of the empire. Joslyn, a third son, left to seek his fortune and soon found himself up to his gorget in fame and Necrophage blood.
Knighted for his acts on the field of Rilldell, he was made a baron by one thankful duke and soon reduced to outlawry by a less friendly one. Now turned mercenary, he is loved as much as he is feared as a leader of troops and winner of battles.
Deyval developed a reputation for battlefield ferocity, attacking with a certain mad glee. He grew to prefer long blades, which are better for keeping the claws and poisons of the Necrophages away from him. Though not in the least a religious man, he is known to recite some sort of phrase or prayer at the end of each successful battle - a mystery whose secret even his closest lieutenants have not unraveled.
