Duncan Graham

Theme   "After the death of his entire lineage, the light within his house forever ceased to illuminate any tender glow of cheer. Days passed to months, and months, to years, in his lone mourning. But it was a mere single breath for a disturbed heart.

Insincere care came from his greedy noblemen, who would share a hug and a petty consolation but for a price disclosed slyly underneath the fabrics of official duty.

Then, when the hermit was dragged away from his shadowy abode and chucked into a bustling city, far away from his hovel duchy; he was frightened by the confrontation of other living organisms.

Moving living things that weren't tiny arthropods hanging from his cobwebbed ceilings, or lounging patiently for a bite in his crippled prayer book.

In the stream of ignoring men and women, a brave soul came to care for a discombobulated spirit, and there, from the cracks within his heart, sprouted the vines of love.

Climbing up fearfully from his inner darkness, it weakly reached for the Light.

Giving the hermit warmth, the kind in which he had not felt in so many dreaded years."

- "The Gardener"

Sir Duncan Graham (Born 17 August, -30 L.C) is the Duke of the impoverished and minuscule Duchy of Greendom, thousand of miles out into sea from the coast of the-then powerful Kingdom of Stromgarde. After death took away his entire family in a devastating earthquake, and Stromgarde fell, the elderly man was on the brink of losing his mind and his office as the leader of Greendom. It was until years later he was given the ultimatum of losing his dominion or venturing out to the Alliance capital which his duchy claimed allegiance to. There, he met Martin Milidynes, his eventual Squire after he had been shown sincere kindness while dressed in rags, smelly, hungry and under a delirious stage from running away from his caretakers weeks prior. While most see him as somewhat unstable and crazy, Martin believes the man is simply eccentric and awkward. Yet, "his heart is in the right place" according to Martin.
