Profile

An old war-drummer of the steppe forts of Varskel. Thirty-five years on the walls of Khaldur, beating the time for men who could not see each other in the smoke. He never deserted. He simply walked home when the last man of his company died, because there was no one left to keep the beat for, and his oath let him go.

In their words

  • Anyone can be brave. Brave together takes a drummer.

A big war-drum on his back, and two bone-handled sticks
