Sigusmund the Boar
Bu madde henüz yalnızca İngilizce.
Sigusmund the Boar is a former bandit captain and a member of the Morenar. He is described as opportunistic, vicious and brutal.1
The Great Western Road
Sigusmund was a notorious bandit captain who terrorised the Great Western Road. He led many successful raids against imperial and Neptunian traders and lived a prosperous life on the spoils.1
Recognising the value of magical power, he took the young exiled sorcerer Luccas Mairein into his band. Luccas now works with the Morenar but remains loyal to Sigusmund, and sees him as a powerful figure he hopes one day to resemble.2
Crooked Teeth Valley
Three years ago a battalion of The Scarlet Spears was sent to deal with Sigusmund and his gang, and it cornered them in the Crooked Teeth Valley. His only chance seemed to be to break through the Spears' ranks and scatter into the surrounding woods, which would have been his certain doom, for those woods lay in wood elven territory.1
Instead he was approached by Ifanelle, disguised as a member of the Scarlet Spears. She warned him and gave him a choice: join forces with the Morenar along with all his men and plunder, or die at the hands of the Scarlet Spears. She led the bandits along a treacherous mountain path to where a dozen Morenar guardsmen waited with horses and supplies to tend their wounds. Luccas played a major part in persuading Sigusmund to side with the Morenar.3
He favours ambushes and caravan guarding, and can be found at The Grand Merchantium or in any medium-sized settlement.1
In battle
Sigusmund is an experienced fighter who wields a greatclub, and he is well known for his surprising speed with it, parrying and dodging swift attacks with the heavy weapon in hand. An opportunist, he likes to ambush his prey whenever he can and prefers fights in which he has the numbers. When he retreats, it is because of his reading of the battlefield, not out of fear for his life.1
