Holdwarden Bjorn Ashken
| Title | Holdwarden of Greyhold |
| Location | Greyhold, The Pale Wastes |
| Faction | The Holds (Greyhold) |
| Status | Alive |
Description. A stocky, heavily scarred dwarf in his late hundreds (dwarves live long in Aethermourne) with a thick grey beard braided with bone beads and one blind eye (lost to an undead’s claw decades ago). He wears fur-lined bone armor and carries a Morrhaelite axe. Bjorn is blunt, pragmatic, and exhausted. He has fought the dead his entire life and is preparing for what he fears will be the final battle.
GM Notes
Campaign Role. Primary authority figure in Act IV. He provides military support and logistical help. His pragmatic willingness to work with Remnants is crucial.
Roleplay Notes. Speaks in short, declarative sentences. Doesn’t waste words. Drinks bone-broth constantly (it’s always cold in the Wastes). Shows affection through gruff practicality, if he gives you better gear, that’s his version of a hug.
