Schulfrid

Schulfrid Waldewulf is a wandering priest of Priadominity. He is a human Paladin and is part of the adventuring band of Wanderers of Annamar.

Origin
Schulfrid was born in Dragonheart. His parents were rich merchants, who practiced illegal paganistic rituals. This eventually alerted the attention of the Titan's Light church. The Titan's Light church ruthlessly burned Schulfrid's parents in a pit. Schulfrid inherited his family's estate and wealth, which he curiously donated to the Priadomian church. As a result Schulfrid also joined the Titan's Light and became part of a monastery.

Schulfrid became a respected, though low ranking, seminarian. As a seminarian, Schulfrid attended all ecclesiastical classes, making him one of the top seminarians. Soon Schulfrid was made a priest, at the young age of 17, granting Sculfrid the Rights of Melody, a license to wield Empyrean Bells and to expiate sinners. Schulfrid lived much of his early church life at Dragonheart, at the Sacratolia Monastery, where he served under abbot Ascel.

By the time Schulfrid turned 20, he had become a rather known priest even among the nobility of Dragonheart. Schulfrid even caught the interest of King Hunfried himself. Hunfried, though he already had a personal Priadomian adviser, he decided to enlist Schulfrid into his court. Schulfrid for the first time in a long time left the monastery and transferred to the Imperial Palace. Schulfrid spent some time tutoring the young daughter of Hunfried, Euphrati, though Schulfried was not the primary educator of Euphrati, just one of the many. Most of Schulfrid's time at Hunfried's side went by at military campaigns. Schulfrid was of little tactical significance to Hunfried, but Hunfried liked the company of Schulfrid, seeing him as one of the only honest, though dissenting, men in his staff. Schulfrid also got to know the three Generals of Hunfried; Abon Black Crescent, Lorgamg Dread Wolf, and Lecan Dead-Eye. Abon and Lorgamg showed animosity towards Schulfrid as Schulfrid actively attempted to dissuade Hunfried from carrying out needless massacres. Lecan was the only General who didn't detest Schulfrid.

Schulfrid's time at Hunfried's side ended in 120 with the Battle of Kami'rash. By that point, Schulfrid had lost all hope for his Emperor, and had grown recalcitrant. Schulfrid, though not near Hunfried at the time, was part of the same cohort as Hunfried when the Barbaric Emperor was slain. Some men loyal to Hunfried assumed under the orders of Lorgamg, went hunting for Schulfrid, however he managed to slip away. Schulfrid hid from his hunters at small towns in the eastern coast, until eventually embarking to Cainhorn.

"Beginning" (p1)
Schulfrid was one of the first people in the Cainhorn caravan to fight the Goblins. He showed his power by smiting one of the Goblin's with his Lightning Spear. Schulfrid also grew suspicious of Rysharn and Nazadul, as they both emitted dark energies to Schulfrid.

"Dwarven Caverns" (p2)
In the Dwarven caverns, Schulfrid triggered a trap and was caged in a cell. Rather apathetically, Rysharn and Nazadul ignored Schulfrid and kept exploring the caves. Fortunately for Schulfrid, the skeletons guarding his cell were weak, and Schulfrid easily disposed both of them. Yet, during his escape his lantern got destroyed. Schulfrid had to make his way back to his 'comrades' blind. He hugged the wall, and was nearly killed by skeletons who discovered his presence. Schulfrid met up with Ceran, their guide. After eating and resting, the two of them made their way to Rysharn and Nazadul, just in time to save them from a skeleton warrior. The party then proceeded to kill the Skeleton Baron, whose sword, Sabbathan, Schulfrid demanded to be destroyed. He and Nazadul argued about the sword's fate, until eventually Nazadul took possession of the cursed sword.

"Slaying of the False God" (p3)
Schulfrid was happy to meet another man of Titan's Light at Dagraf. Wilmond van Dane proved to be a trusty fellow to Schulfrid. During the fight against Dacrim, Schulfrid was ganged up by a bunch of undead, who Schulfrid had hard time killing, though they didn't do much harm against Schulfrid himself.

"Battle of Estlin" (p4)
As the party was walking to Goldring, Berkdin's and Elisse's quarrels escalated. Schulfrid was fervently against leaving Elisse behind, which Nazadul and Berkdin contested. The quarrel further escalated with the reappareance of Filiel, the angel worshipper, who was stabbed by Elisse. Schulfrid got his way and the party did not abandon the old lady.

Schulfrid took part in the Battle of Estlin.

"Goldring" (p5)
In Goldring Schulfrid was against getting tangled up in the Revolution of Goldring, however Nazadul convinced him to affiliate as the rewards would be huge. Schulfrid gave way and the two began to make errands for the noble houses of the city.

In 12th September, Schulfrid joined the boxing tournament of the Black Maid tavern. There he managed to get impressively far, only to be defeated by Rysharn. Yet Schulfrid began to make a comeback in the losers league but was stumped when he was not allowed to compete for second place. Instead he was given third place reward of 25 cilse.
