The Wasteland

T
Timteroo

A king’s moral decay blights his realm, drying rivers and withering crops. A barren land reflects a ruler’s failings, only restored by trials in the Otherworld. The bond between a king’s virtue & his kingdom’s health, a theme of rulers & their lands. The physical world mirrors the moral state of ruler, growing barren as king suffers or sins. The decay represents a curse, a call for atonement. Recovery by strength & spiritual insight. The path to redemption requires a journey into the unknown.

appearance
A middle-aged human mercenary with a rugged appearance, Baldwin wears light leather armor that allows for agility. He has short, graying hair and piercing blue eyes that seem to have seen too much. He carries a crossbow slung over his shoulder and a small ax at his side, with thieves' tools tucked away in a hidden pocket.
personality
Baldwin is pragmatic and shrewd, often weighing the risks and rewards of any situation. He is not easily swayed by emotions and prefers to keep his distance from others, though he has a soft spot for the downtrodden. His world-weariness makes him skeptical of grand ideals, but he still possesses a flicker of hope for redemption.
backstory
Baldwin the Shrewd is a seasoned mercenary who has wandered the Wasteland for years, taking on various jobs to survive. His experiences have left him with a cynical outlook on life, but he possesses a wealth of knowledge about the land and its dangers. Once a hopeful adventurer, he has become jaded by the moral decay of the realm and the corruption of its rulers. Despite his weariness, he still seeks to find purpose in his life, often helping those in need when it aligns with his interests.
