Vulcar Goldensteel

CanonOfficial lore from the books▶ Actual play

Sir Vulcar Goldensteel is a champion of the Sürgün Günlükleri ("Exile Chronicles") campaign, famous in recent years for fighting duels on behalf of nobles. His surname was granted or bought, and comes from his armour, which is not gold but shines like it. He came to Tal'gard with the intelligence agent Foltest, who said he had been brought to kill the rebel Rainer Karga in a duel before the people.1 2 3

A squire of about fourteen goes with him, carrying his sword and his gear and tending the blade with oil.4 5

The challenge

When Kemp Corvus summoned him, Sir Vulcar said that the task had been offered to him, but that even without the offer he would have wished to come on hearing such an insult; Kemp asked him to make his personal sense of duty known, and he agreed. It was not a trial by combat: place, weapons and whether the fight ended at first blood or in death were settled by agreement between the two sides. The duel was set for noon two days later in a public square.6 7 8

That same evening he walked to the square, where a crowd gathered. Naming himself Goldensteel, he declared that he had come to answer Rainer's claim to be the finest swordsman of the Empire and the Lands of Exile, announced a duel to the death in two days' time, and gave thanks to his god.8 9
