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]}
