Haldor Stagson

Guardian of Goldenpoint and Keeper of the Stag Alehouse

Haldor Stagson is the owner and operator of the Stag Alehouse in Goldenpoint, and more
importantly, the village's divinely appointed guardian. After the breaking of the ancient
curse that plagued his village, Arthur Stag's spirit appeared to Haldor and blessed him
with supernatural abilities to protect Goldenpoint. He now serves as both innkeeper and
guardian, watching over his community with newfound powers and purpose.

Appearance

Haldor is a well-built human man standing about six feet tall, with the sturdy frame
of someone accustomed to hard work. His long dark hair is often tied back while working,
though it flows freely during more relaxed moments. His eyes hold a depth and awareness
that wasn't there before his blessing, as if he can perceive things beyond normal sight.
He dresses practically in the clothing of a working innkeeper - simple tunics, leather
aprons, and sturdy boots - but there's an aura of quiet authority about him that speaks
to his role as the village's protector.
