Raime Drakeblood is hedge knight, formerly a noble Ashen Hold.
Background[]
Raime is the eldest son of Lady Auld and Randolph Drakeblood. Randolph was the head of House Drakeblood and the Lord of Ashen Hold and its surrounding areas in north-east Wintervale. From a young age, Raime was trained to wield a sword and wear armor. He was blessed with the gift of swiftness for his large size. Being brute and cunning, it didn't take long before he became a match for the unseasned knights that served his father. Though Raime was young at the time, he wouldn't remain unbloodied for long.
During a routine ride, Raime and his younger brother were ambushed by mountain raiders. The lordling nearly lost his life. His brother threw himself in front of an oncoming spear, saving his brother's life and dying in the process. Raime shed his first blood and returned his brother's body to his family before he left, disgrace with only his sword and his armor.
Raime completed task as a sellsword as he seeked forgiveness for the death of his brother. Eventually he became a hedge knight and drifted away from home. To this day, he is still wondering the plains of the Known World with his sword and axe, his last reminders of his heritage and his brother.
