Ledo’s Hunt
Connects to: Long ago a warrior known as Egil Longspear, known throughout these lands for his bastard sword and his bastard children, committed a vile crime against a certain elf of the Kingswood (Cerelaine). After sulking darkly for some decades the elf was disappointed to hear that Egil had died. Not to let vengeance slip through his fingers that easily he began plotting the annihilation of all of the Longspear’s descendants.
As part of that plan, he trained some of his half-elf children in the art of the hunt. One of these is a slight and quiet man who can pass for a full-blooded human named Ledo who is currently lurking about Winds waiting for a chance to kill Egil’s great grand-daughter. He has already killed an aged Brother of the Lion (Egil’s grandson) and will one day get around to killing Jayla Mullard (25.04) (Egil’s great-granddaughter on her mother’s side). There’s no hurry and the list of victims is ever so long.
If Ledo is ever killed, it will be no great loss. It will only take his father a few decades to sire and train another assassin and then the hunt will continue.
Connection:
- Egil Longspear offended Cerelaine by rescuing a dozen human children that had been kidnapped by the elf.
- Egil called Longspear when his signature weapon was a bastard sword because he was a son of Hardrald Longspear, who fought with a longspear.
Hooks:
- Who is the avenging elf anyway? Why doesn’t he kill people himself?
- What sort of training does Ledo have? Who else has he killed?
- Who is Ledo’s current target?
