Swiftarrow
The empyrean1 Swiftarrow leads a group of ruthless orc-hunters known as the Order of the Honored Dead in the Hold of Belkzen.23 She effectively wields a powerful longbow against any orcs that pass her mountain headquarters near Deepgate.4
Background
In 4702 AR, while serving as a ranger for Lastwall, an orc raid killed many of Swiftarrow's friends and family members. In response, she lobbied her commanders to stage a counterattack that she offered to lead, but was denied as the plan was deemed excessively risky. After accusing her commanders of cowardice, they discharged her from service.3
She subsequently founded the Order of the Honored Dead and set about recruiting other survivors of orc raids from Lastwall, Varisia, and Ustalav, starting with Indrek. As of 4715 AR, she remained the organization's leader.3
