As I’ve said a few times, using Heroforge to pass the time is a great way to keep my brain ticking over. It helps with plotting future elements of the game, inspiring weird and wonderful twists, and sometimes even helps me rule out some options. And so, to Vhardesh, who hails from Valenia’s old home town. They’re a Mark of Finding operative of House Tharashk – which can be someone who finds lost items, prospects for dragonshards, or acts as a bounty hunter. It’s not uncommon to find dragonmarked half-orcs who do any and all of these for their House – each activity is as lucrative as the next.

Vhardesh is an ex-soldier – he served in the Last War as a Lieutenant leading troops against the Eldeen Reaches. It was a front with a high rate of attrition, and as soon as the War ended he resigned and went back to his House. He lost a lot of friends, and doesn’t make new ones easily.


Vhardesh specialises in using two-handed weapons – in particular the Maul he has kept since his days in the army, and a huge greataxe of warning that he claimed from a fallen foe. He swears that the great eye engraved between its blades has kept watch behind him more times than he can count.
I’ve also made a character sheet for him at https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/122899344/gUqnWc which you’re welcome to take a look at and copy if you like
