====== Earl Ronstudd Sinxth ======

Earl Donstudd Sinxth, a towering knight of unyielding valor, emerged as a hero during the dire days of the Starkpool Reach's turmoil. Chaos gripped the region as dark forces encroached upon Starkpool, the reach's largest and most vital city. The wizards of Starkpool, whose arcane expertise had long safeguarded the city, were besieged and unable to maintain their defenses. Donstudd rose to the challenge, uniting a disparate army of knights, soldiers, and townsfolk to form a bulwark against the invading hordes. In the pivotal Battle of the Ebon Crossing, Donstudd's strategic brilliance and personal bravery turned the tide; he and his forces held the line long enough for the wizards to reignite the wards protecting the city. His enchanted blade, "[[Kindness]]," became a symbol of hope, as songs spread of the knight's relentless charge into the heart of enemy lines. For his unparalleled service, High King [[baldwin_iii|Baldwin Gothfrey, ancestor of Baldwin the third]], personally granted Donstudd the title of Earl and vested him with control over the chief port of the Starkpool Reach, securing the region's economic future.
