Renald Fanwar

General

Renald Fanwar is a Shienaran farmer. He lives five miles east of Oak Water. He has a wife, Auaine, and sons and at least one grandson. His sons have sought their fortunes elsewhere.

He's farmed his land for forty years. He has been successful enough that he was able to buy out two neighbours and can run thirty wagons to market each fall. He has six hired farm hands who are as close to him as sons; Merk, Favidan, Rinnin, Veshir, Adamad and Geleni. He can do a little forgework.

When Thulin comes to tell him he is going north, Auaine convinces Renald to follow.
