Elmar Garulf

Elmar Garulf is a Haldric man who later relocated to Betham. His father, Reinir Garulf, was a traveling mercenary whose company faught alongside Captain Sethis in the Battle of Riverhold. Elmar never knew his mother, though it's believed she was a shieldmaiden. Reinir would tell his son that he was born on a battlefield during the Great War, though this was between drink and song and he seldom spoke of her again.

By the time he was a young man, Elmar set out on his own and offered his services as a hired sword, eventually finding himself in the town of Traunch. From there, he joined the infamous Felbane who plundered the Catacombs of the Wraith King. While down there, they battled the dracolich Sahbexkeyndrog and his infernal blood cult.

While few survived the venture, Elmar managed to walk away with a sizeable amount of treasure, though not without injury. His adventuring days were done and the settlement of Betham seemed just as quiet a place as any to settle. He now runs his own shop selling weapons, armor, and provisions; though he has been forced to branch out into smithing as there aren't nearly as many adventurers who come through the fishing village as there had been a decade prior.
