Adalric Erkenbrand

WIPAdalric Erkenbrand is a character written and played by Myles. Adalric is man of Arandar wildmen linage who travels through the forests of Northern Kandarin as a hunter and wanderer. On his birth, his Mother, whom was a Lore-Master of the Dalurinlings, foretold that he was to be the King that was Promised, Angdurinn's Heir. Who would either lead the Vale to a new Age or die, and with him the hopes of the Dalurinlings.

Appearance
Adalric is a rather large and well built man. Having been born into the extremely rural region of the Vale, he spent most of his life working on different farms and hunting in the woods. Built strong from working under the Kandarin sun during the summer and surviving the winter storms, Adalric is quite resistant and holds a natural large stamina.

His hair is a dirty blonde color with a mix of blonde and brown. His eyes are a mix of brown and hazel usually a hue of green. He has a scar along his right wrist where he nearly lost his hand during a farm accident when he was younger. In doing so, he is known to have sharp pains rise up through it.

Personality
Adalric is a rather calm and quiet person overall. Having spent most of his life out in the wild alone, he had grown used to that lifestyle. He is not afraid to strike someone up in casual conversation though. He is respectful to nearly all he meets and speaks with a certain calmness in his tone.

He fears the legacy his Mother said he was to live up to. Fearing that she was actually true, becoming like King Hurin who saw the ruin of the Vale and not believing that he could become that leader. He left in imposed exile away from the Vale to travel the lands of Kandarin and beyond.

Swordsmanship
Adalric served as a Man-At-Arms in Clan Ironfoot forces during one of the many Fremennik raids into northern regions of the Vale. Having learned how to fight with a one-handed Nordic style sword instead of the long blades of the South. Allowing him to use an off-handed weapon or a shield.

Duel Wielding
The main form of combat that Adalric uses, he often carries a sword or long dagger in his main hand with a one-handed axe in the other. Able to tear through any would be bandits with ease and easily hidden when he travels into Cities.

Archery
Adalric had spent more time with a bow in his hands than with a melee weapon. It was archery that protected the Vale for decades during the Third Age and it is archery that brings meat to the table. Adalric is a highly skilled archer for one of Man descent. Not as skilled as an Elf with it, but all peoples of the Vale are raised with one in hand.

Thrown
A part of the Dalurinling life, Adalric is quite skilled in throwing smaller axes and daggers to stop an enemy or animal dead in it's tracks.

Stealth and Wayfarer
Born to a life of woods and large untouched wilderness, Adalric was raised to be at ease in the woods. The Valemen made their name on being able to blend into the woods and attack without mercy before disappearing again. It is the way of life for the Valemen and Adalric is no different from this. Able to simply disappear into the greens and browns of the northern woods to only reappear some distance later.
