LORE & BACKGROUND

In the dark wake of cataclysm, Ser Borric was the bulwark that transformed Calden from a mountain hold into an unbreachable fortress. Appointed by Lord Aethelric, he was the hammer of discipline, unrelenting, unsmiling, and exacting in every defense. He walked every wall, trained every soldier, and foresaw every siege. His was the voice that shaped a citadel of steel and resolve.

But no bastion can withstand its own people. When rebellion rose, it did not surprise him. He fought it with brutal efficiency, mowing down wave after wave of insurgents. In the final hours, he stood at the bailey gate, covered in soot and gore, wielding his greatsword as flames devoured the sky. He fell amid the carnage, still barking orders as the stones collapsed around him.

Yet the grave could not claim him. Ser Borric rose again, a spectral colossus of ruined steel and burning wrath. He prowls Calden’s courtyards, leading ghostly drills in perfect silence. His revenants stand in ranks beneath his gaze, ever subject to his brutal corrections. Though the gates are shattered and the world moved on, the Castellan does not rest. His war has never ended.
