Artur Jakarti is the count of the County of Crystalreach in Furyondy, and a former Knight of Holy Shielding.
Description
Artur is a huge man, standing seven feet tall and weighing 355 lbs (in 582 CY--see CoG:FFF.73). Excepting his size, Artur is rather nondescript in appearance, with lightly-tanned skin, and brown hair and eyes. He is very wise, but not particularly intelligent. Though his attempts to express himself are often clumsy, Artur is an exceedingly decent fellow--loyal, courageous, modest, and honorable. A devotee of Hieroneous, Artur prefers the company of commoners and warriors to that of his fellow nobles. He is fond of dwarves and good ale.
Relationships
Artur harbored an intense love for his superior Knight of Holy Shielding, Lady [[Valderesse Sharn, until her death in the Great Crusade.
History
Artur was born circa 556 CY (CoG:FFF.73), probably in the Shield Lands. At some point, he joined the Knights of Holy Shielding. When he was twenty-one years old, Artur met Valderesse Sharn, at his coming-of-age celebration. He was instantly smitten with Valderesse, one year his senior, and the pair would almost have certainly been married if not for the events of 579 CY. That year, the Shield Lands were invaded by the Horned Society and the Bandit realms of Wormhall and Warfields jointly invaded the Shield Lands. By 581 CY, only the city of Critwall remained under Shield Lander control. Hundreds of Knights of Holy Shielding were sent beyond Critwall, to plead their nation's case and gather support from various other nations throughout the Flanaess. By 582 CY, Valderesse, Artur, and four other Shield Knights had relocated to Greyhawk to do the same.
