Character Summary Lord Marsan Race: Aluvian

Lieutenant Allandal tells you, "He was not such a bad man, in truth. Perhaps given to boasting, but he did not deserve the fate he received."

Character and Background

• Brigadier in the New Aluvian Army.
• Originally located in Plateau Village, where he prepared for a march on Teth to help the garrison defend against the Renegades, and asked players to scout out the Viamontian Reinforcements between the Northern Landbridge and the Dires
• When marching out, he took all his soldiers with him, except Lieutenant Allandal
• During the Down Twisting Paths patch, he managed to break through the Viamontian Reinforcements (Castle Pietrus and a Tumerok Fort taken over by the Viamontians) who were actually already expecting him
• He encountered the Viamontian army lead by Count Di Orza before being able to reinforce the garrison at Fort Tethana
• Instead of directly charging towards each other, the two commanders decided on a parlay, on which also a Renegade Tumerok Tribe nearby wanted to take part. This parlay was also the last what was heard about him by the Aluvians.
• Disappeared with the creation of the Shadow March and the destruction of most of the Aluvian and Viamontian Army
• Most likely killed, or turned into a shadow like the rest of the soldiers

Lore & Dialog

Sayings of Lord Tyrell Marsan when located in Plateau Village:
Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "You're here to volunteer? Good, good! I could use some volunteers. Now, listen well."
Lord Marsan gestures to the southwest.
Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "I've been given orders - by Her Majesty herself, no less - to arrange for safe transit from Plateau Village to Fort Tethana. Her Majesty's going to finally do something about Teth - don't know what, myself. Maybe she's going to attack the renegades, maybe she's going to remind those Fort Tethana vagabonds where their loyalties belong!"
Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "It's my job to make sure that the army reaches the Northern Direlands, and to make sure that the troops get their supplies after they've wandered through here."
Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "Problem is, some Viamontians have set up a castle seemingly overnight in our path. Spies report that they may have originated from Bluespire. It may be worth your time to check out that report. There's also a long-standing Renegade Tumerok fortress along the way, though their fortifications aren't nearly so frightening."
Lord Tyrell Marsan tells you, "So your job, should you choose to accept it, is to clear a patch for the army by defeating the inhabitants of either fortification - both, if possible. It's often customary, when you win a battle, to take the colors of the other side, so that's how I'd like you to prove that the job's done - bring back the pennants of the opposing force. And, if you should happen to find any intelligence about what the blue bastards are up to, you let me know."
