Lords' Alliance, Duchy of Daggerford

Gwydion pen Dafwyd (GWID-ee-on pen DAV-ud) was born in the Moonshae Isles in the kingdom of Callidyrr in the Year of Wandering Waves (1292 DR) and raised as a ward and apprentice of the wizard Mab. Gwydion has been at the court of the Dukes of Daggerford since he followed his master into exile in the Year of the Broken Helm (1302 DR) and was taught in the tradition of Callidyrr’s Council of Mages. Gwydion has been the official ducal court wizard since the Year of Blue Flame (1327 DR), ever since Mab retired to the Alicorn Tower, north of The Way Inn.

Gwydion prides himself on his grey hairs and scholarly appearance. He is a self-pronounced expert on the dukedom’s history and the geneaology of the ducal family. Decisiveness is not Gwydion’s dominant trait. He dithers over a decision for months before coming to an easily-swayed conclusion. Gwydion is very aware of his status as court wizard and very class-conscious. He has no time for anyone not of noble blood, even those of common blood who have earned the regard of the duke. His immediate about-face if any of these heroes is ennobled is a regular source of amusement to ducal court regulars.

Although raised to honor the Earthmother of the Moonshaes, Gwydion has found a comfortable home in the church of Chauntea. He is handfasted to Lady Priestess Maerovyna of the Earthmother, complementing her support of the local agricultural community with a focus on the fey magic of the natural world. Duke Pwyll has had little to do with his court wizard and is rather afraid of him. Lady Bronwyn, on the other hand, considers him a sort of useful uncle and is very close with her mentor. She acts as go-between for her brother to the wizard.
