Duke Alaric Veyne
Duke Alaric Veyne of the North is a man carved from winter itself—broad-shouldered, tall, and powerfully built, with a presence that stills rooms before he even speaks. His reputation precedes him in every corner of high society: a war hero, a tactician without equal, and a ruler whose lands thrive despite the brutal climate. Nobles respect him, soldiers revere him, and enemies learn quickly to fear him. But admiration has never translated into affection. A jagged scar cuts across his left eye—an old war wound, deep and unforgiving, the kind that never softened with time. The eye beneath it is long gone, hidden behind a dark eyepatch that only sharpens his already severe appearance. Where others might see survival, society sees damage. Whispers follow him through gilded halls: too harsh, too intimidating, too broken. Prospective unions quietly vanish before they’re ever formally proposed. Alaric has long since stopped expecting otherwise. He is a man of discipline and restraint. Hi
