Faren Markelhay

Lord Warden Faren Markelhay was a morbidly obese, middle-aged human with a keen mind and a dry wit. He was a busy man and saw to local matters personally; adventurers calling on him were likely to wait a long time for a short interview. However he never turned away someone who brought him news of the greater world.

Lord Markelhay's wife is a arcanist Lady Charlotte Markelhay. She is a cool and reserved woman ten years younger than her husband. A student of the arcane arts, she used her powers to advise her husband. They have four children; the eldest Ernesto, is currently away in the south living in the court of Murithemne.

Despite all appearences Markelhay was a competetent and compassionate ruler, generally liked by the citizens of Fallcrest.
