The Thirteen Verdant Lords
Thirteen leaders and protectors of the Verdant-Realm. They are connected to the Fae, through which they receive visions, prophecies, and “bits of history, bits of subtle messaging.”
Known Members
- The White Stag — Roland’s father. Human. Reportedly the strongest of the thirteen. Kept to himself, very enigmatic. Status unknown (alive or dead is intentionally ambiguous).
Connections
- Forge-Doomhammer — an old orc follower of Amareses connected to the Verdant Lords through the Fae. Receives prophetic visions.
- Amareses — the faith of the Verdant Lords appears closely tied to Amareses and nature
Plot Relevance
The White Stag’s identity as one of the 13 Verdant Lords raises the stakes of Roland’s search. The Fae connection suggests the Lords are more than just political leaders — they are conduits for something older and deeper.
Mentioned in
- Roland Hartbane — his father was one of them
- Forge-Doomhammer — connected through the Fae
