Holzer Woodrell

Holzer Woodrell is a significant figure in the Barrow Plains region of the Kingdom of Stromgarde. The son of a merchant, Holzer was educated in the Kingdom of Lordaeron but returned home following the Third War and assumed control of his father's business, exporting surplus crops. In the economic chaos that followed, he lost the bulk of his fortune and his business collapsed, leaving Holzer in dire straits and reliant on his neighbours.

He has since emerged in the aftermath of the Arathorian Civil Wars as one of the major thinkers behind the nascent political philosophy of Arathorian Anarchism, a broad school of anarchist thought divided largely into anarcho-collectivists and anarcho-communists. Holzer is a major force for the former in the Barrow Plains, and actively working to expand the influence of this fringe philosophy. At present, he is tolerated by the local aristocracy, but as his rhetoric turns increasingly passionate and influential, this is liable to change.
