Current Description:

Before you is a seasoned adventurer of medium build, hunched over a scroll. His hair is a reddish brown some graying over the ears. After a moment, sensing your glance, he rises to a full height of a little over six feet, and turns to face you. Now that you have a clear view, you recognize the signs of a lifetime of struggle in his unhandsome, weathered face. His wearied, grey eyes particularly inform you that if this man ever knew love or joy -- those days are now long forgotten. The remaining features of this face give him the distinct look of one from the Far West. For what possible purpose could he have traveled so far? Before you can follow this line of thinking, he speaks.
Gwyrdain says (in common), 'Have you heard tell of the only true God? His name is Lord Nash...'.

(written by Cordir, Approx 1997)
Grey eyes meet yours, unflinching. There is strength there, and the assuredness and self-reliance hard earned on the long, lonely path that his Lord has set before him. Those eyes also speak volumes of compassion, warmth, and perhaps a hint of joy. A neatly trimmed beard of reddish brown outlines a firm, if not outright stubborn jaw, which is marked here and there with trophies of a life which could never be called easy...

• Gwyrdain was engaged to Cordir when she was a member of the Silver Fellowship (Approximately Fall-ish of 1996: An Engagement). For various reasons, the wedding never occured.

No reference to such should be made in-character unless the PC in question has direct knowledge of the event and cruelly intends to start a cascade of events that could result in the restoration of Gwyrdain's memory.)
