Ser Elowen Valehart, known across the borderlands as “The Wandering Lark,” a young knight errant who travels the roads in worn armor and a red cloak stitched from her father’s old banner. The second daughter of a minor border lord, Elowen grew up in the training yard rather than the court. She was secretly trained by the veteran knight Ser Garrick Thorne, a hardened warrior who saw potential in her stubborn determination and quietly taught her the art of sword and shield. When war returned to the borderlands and her father was killed defending his lands, Elowen refused to swear loyalty to a lord she did not trust. Instead, with her father’s sword in hand and the lessons Garrick taught her, she rode out alone. Now she wanders the roads protecting travelers, escorting merchants, and standing against cruel knights who abuse their power. Villagers call her The Wandering Lark because the soft whistle she carries on lonely roads often arrives moments before she does.
