Veladrin Frostpeak is a winter eladrin captain in the service of House Ursa, leading the remnant of Caerwyn's forces after they withdrew from Snakecross. [heralds-a#81]
Overview
Veladrin is 240 years old; he feels like a youngling amid the war, yet carries himself like an old man who has seen everything. [heralds-a#81] He dislikes violence and finds it distasteful — for a winter eladrin, showing one's power to an enemy is like revealing one's true name, and Veladrin does not want anyone to see who he truly is. [heralds-a#81] He fears nothing in these lands; the only thing he fears lies in Arcadia. [heralds-a#81]
Command at Hollowbridge
Veladrin led a company of some twenty officers and soldiers away from Snakecross to Hollowbridge, tasked with cutting down any forces that might come from the south. [heralds-a#81] His lieutenant is Melandril Coldleaf, a talented winter elf archer skilled at hit-and-run ambush tactics. [heralds-a#81] His sergeant is Rozognad Broken-tooth, a Blue Orc — an orc imbued with winter magic for resilience and power — and a Frenzied Berserker who never turns back; Veladrin himself raised him to that rank. [heralds-a#81] The company also includes foot soldiers and winter elf rangers. [heralds-a#81]
Training and the Frost Prince
Veladrin was trained in Arcadia by the Knights of the Frost Prince, the order of the Frost Prince, son of the Winter King and a powerful fae patron and knight. [heralds-a#81] His own teacher was Tevelyn Moonspeaker, a masterful and influential swordsman who was killed by the Frost Prince himself after trying to stop the Prince's forces from destroying what remained of the Queen of Fall's lands. [heralds-a#81] The Frost Prince is the one thing Veladrin fears above all else. [heralds-a#81]
