Suda

Suda is a Northdale forge-engineer whose loyalty to craft runs deeper than loyalty to kings.

Blunt, disciplined, and difficult to read, he carries himself with the weight of stone, records, and mechanisms that were never meant to be tampered with. He is not easily impressed, and even harder to trust—but when Suda speaks, it is rarely without purpose.

Trained to measure risk and guard dangerous knowledge, he understands better than most that some things are sealed for a reason.

When he crosses paths with Ranoke again, what begins as shared history quickly becomes something more complicated. Suda stands at the intersection of crown, conscience, and truth—and he is one of the few who recognizes just how dangerous that intersection really is.

His respect must be earned.
His silence usually means something matters.
And his warnings are never given lightly.
