Welcome to the Fifth night of Dice-ember where tonight we meed the captain of the Rimeguard – Lady Penelope Sungrave. Don’t take her age for granted as this half-elf is looks deceptively young when she already has many years on aspiring captains. So sit back, grab a seasonal beverage and let’s roll into the holiday season!
Captain of the Rimeguard
349SDiEm5
The half-elf captain of the Rimeguard, Lady Penelope Sungrave is a strong, educated and imposing figurehead of the city guard. After being the second in command to Patrik Goloze for nearly a decade when he hung up his sword and shield to take a more peaceful life she was named as his successor which was supported by the city. She has seen many battles and led many offensive and defensive campaigns in Rimeglenn for the betterment of the city and its people.
Despite her generally helpful nature she is stuck between having to prove herself to the lord of the city and her peers due to her appearance. Her father was an elven dignitary and her mother was the daughter of a noble – their love was a secret. When she was born her mother had a decision to cast her out or be cast out herself, and so she decided to leave her life of luxury to raise her daughter.
But since she was born from nobility, her grandparents attempted to accept her and her mother back (to which they both refused) she was treated with favour despite her achievements. By joining the guard she found a place where she was treated as anyone else and by focusing on her training with the blade and her natural talents for tactics she quickly rose through the ranks. However now she has to prove to the lord and other well of nobility that she has their best interest at heart. Due to this she has had to make some quick judgments around the disappearance of property from the nobles homes which she did not believe herself.
However, to give her credit she did work tirelessly to prove the innocence of those who were framed by the mysterious mischief makers that plague the city yearly. She has invested much of her family’s fortune into the bounty to capture those who are responsible which earnt a lot of respect from her peers, soldiers and the nobility – but it never seems to be enough. So long as the mischief makers are around and people find their property stolen and replaced by others belongings she will never be truly accepted as the excellent captain that she is.
Penelope will have a centre role for this adventure so expect her to be fleshed out more in the coming weeks. Thanks for dropping by for another night of Dice-ember updates. Don’t forget that we will keep to expand every day so be sure to visit again tomorrow and as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
