Worldlet knight
Saranac is the man with the steel sword.
Even as a child, it's said he was only defeated in battle once, and that was by the Sea King himself. Now, he's the general of the Sea King's army. He wears the serpent armor, with glittering scales that permit no blade to cut him. He rides the sunburst aurn, a mutant bird bred by the darkest magics.
He went north and tricked from the dwarves the magics of their forge for his steel sword. He and his knights drive back the nomad raiders. They cut down their enemies like sickles through grain. He will carve out an empire for the glory of the Sea King.
He is a man to be feared.

More worldlet musing. I've been nailing down some personalities. I think maybe all the Dynasty Warriors I've been playing lately might have something to do with this. ^.^
"Going north" is a phrase that began with the merchant traders to describe an action that's risky but has the potential for great reward. Few traders actually cross the mountain pass to the north, but those that do and survive come back with amazing goods. Obviously, the description above is from the perspective of somebody who admires Saranac. Ask a nomad what they think of him, and you'd get a different response. Ask an actual dwarf, and if they've heard of him, they probably won't be nearly so impressed. They might admire the technique for his armor, though.
