Ferenold Stormshend

Sir Ferenold Stormshend is a writer, politician, nobleman, and noted intellectual. A teacher of both Kaldorei and Gilnean druidism within the Howling Oak, he came to public prominence in the same area, emerging as a routing orator whom possessed what was described by one quaint gentle-man as "Near-apoplectic" rage. Apparently touching on at least some feeling common in Gilneans, Sir Stormshend rose from the child of a little-known borgiousie trader and ellgitimate headlands noble to one of the most influential figures within Gilnean society: both amidst the literary intelligentsia as well as the great mass of Gilnean refugees.

A self-described 'reactionary' in the political sphere, Stormshend's opinions are wide-ranging, controversial, and often repulsive to liberals and conservatives alike. Despite the ambiguity often inherent in the man's beliefs, there are several elements of his idealogy that is clear: he is a firm defender of aristocracy, tradition, and landed wealth - as well as a resolute enemy of industrialism, secularism, and all forms of utilitarianism.
