Duane Rowanmantle, heir of House Rowanmantle Played by EdinSumar A group of adventurers uncovering by mere chance a outbreak of living shadows in the Tilverscar were quite surprised when they ran into the young Heir to the Rowanmantle family, Duane Rowanmantle. Claiming that he was there to set things right and fulfil the long-forgotten obligations of his family to Tilverton and the Moonsea Ride, the young Rowanmantle soon found his way to Arabel - intent on staying there for the foreseeable future. Only time can tell what will come of this, and whether others shall follow him.
