Fael Dinea

Fael Dinea is the only person to ever be expelled from the Castle guard. She is also the leader of the opposition group to Master Earous, the Apocary. Fael got greedy for power and attempted to usurp power from Earous through force and stealth. She is believed to be the only person see the full power of Earous. She survived that encounter, but with great loss to herself. She was horrifically scarred emotionally and physically by the bout.

Master Earous in turn only survived the encounter because the guard rushed in at the last moment to aid him. It is widely known that Fael is more powerful than Earous, but less wise than the master. For this reason, Fael was expelled beyond the mountains and marked with a curse that keeps her from using magic.

Despite this, Fael is still unrivaled in her martial abilities. She frequently trains by having twenty of her strongest followers attack her at once. It is quite rare for one of them to land a single blow. If one is ever successful, they get a promotion in her ranks.

This prowess isn’t enough for her though, she is constantly looking for a way to break the curse placed upon her. She has trained many of the bandit gangs in the martial arts of the castle. In return, they give her a cut of any Heash Stones they steal. That is how valued this fighting style is.
