Adam Fornguard

Adam Fornguard was the leader of the Fornguard House during the start of the Era of Strife. He was saught as an early ally to the upcoming young prince Sezorian Highmane. However he was not trusted by the Du'valles or Dalarious Val'dorian. His people were often in conflict with the local Coalbreaker Clan as well as the Orcish Gutrots.

He was brash and often seen as a dictator even by his own people. Demanding high taxes and consistently jumping to executions for punishments. This is like due to the conflict surrounding his alleged daughter's death the man was never quite the same. The prime suspect involved in the case was Adam himself and the killer was never truly found. Many believe that due to this uneasy topic he and one Bronson Du'valle were constantly at odds. This made any chance for peace in the south west region pretty slim. One blamed the other for the death of the young girl.

Near the beginning of the Era of Strife Adam shut down Westerpoint. Allowing no people to enter or leave. Save for minor outlying farms to bring in some food. The truth about what happened inside those walls during the city's lockdown has yet to be uncovered. Adam later married Elise Gaslon, in an attempt to bridge an alliance with the powerful house. It was at this point that Adam's power began to faulter. He became even more brazen and ruthless earning him the nickname Iron Fist. However it was short lived as Adam was later found dead due to sickness and injury.
