Baron Daelrath

 was the head of the Barony of Daelrath in the Kingdom of Clairmont.

He was a tall, dark, battle-hardened man. In 723, he was a middle-aged man.

As a younger man, he was an adventurer. He eventually settled down in troll country in the north, built a keep (Rath Keep) there and defended the sparse human population there. He had a brief but intense affair with a woman adventurer; her death at the hands of a troll shaman was part of the reason for Daelrath to stay in the area and battle the trolls.

Daelrath's dedication in defending this land led to his title. As a very recent baron, he married a daughter of an impoverished nobility to improve the pedigree of his descendants. He had one daughter, Bruhnhilda Daelrath, born around 705.

Baroness Daelrath's wife was killed around 721 in a presumed troll attack, although Brianna Barter and the baron suspected a political killing in disguise, possible by the Avengenes.

The baron worshiped Virtusar, as did most warriors in his barony. However, he was very uneasy with some of the aspects of the worship, particularly the traditions of Concubines of Virtusar, which he felt were very close to prostitution. He was also very protective of his daughter.

These attitudes, along with military support from the Marquisate of Avengene led him to support the Church of the Vindicator. However, in 723, a priest of the Vindicator, Reverend Vindictine, raped his daughter, which led him to break this relationship, and start supporting the Church of Mortaebius.
