Sergeant Iryar

Sergeant Iryar was a Galefridish war hero who died in the Battle of Aede at the site that would come to be known as Iryar's Fall. He is said to have died in battle against the Kains. In truth, however, he was killed by his own men. After a bloody skirmish in which many Galefridish soldiers lost their lives, Sergeant Iryar's men prevailed, and only one Kainic soldier was left alive. Iryar ordered him taken prisoner, despite his enraged men wishing to avenge their fallen comrades. After a heated argument, Iryar's men struck him down, decapitated him, and unceremoniously dumped his remains in Lake Aede. They then killed the Kainic soldier and propagated the myth that Iryar fell in battle. These soldiers came from the village of Woodbury, and Iryar's restless spirit would eventually take vengeance upon their families as Howlers.
