Wilfred Farren

Story

Wilfred Farren is the ruler of Southmark, a territory struggling to reclaim its former glory in a world recovering from the shadow of the High King. Unlike many monarchs who rule from safety, Wilfred is a front-line warrior who leads his knights into battle against the undead and demonic forces. He first encounters William G. Maryblood during the expansion of the human territories and is deeply impressed by the young Paladin's strength and purity of heart. Over time, Wilfred becomes one of Will's most trusted political and military allies, providing the structural support needed to rebuild civilization. He embodies the virtues of a traditional knight—honor, duty, and sacrifice—while navigating the complex political landscape of a world in flux. His leadership is defined by his willingness to bleed alongside his soldiers, earning him the fierce loyalty of his subjects and the respect of powerful entities. He represents the peak of human leadership and martial skill in a world where gods and monsters often overshadow mortal men.

World

In the age after the High King's fall, human settlements on the southern frontier rebuild amid ruins haunted by undead and demonic powers. Kingship, oaths, armies, and the blessings of gods shape society, while faith and martial skill defend fragile civilization. As territories expand, Wilfred stands as King of Southmark, a knight commander and vital ally in restoring order.
