Lord Valdur Ashblade is one of the Lords of Tarloc, and is usually a calm and quiet man. Originally, Valdur comes from Ashrindale, where he became known as a local ranger and earned a good reputation for fighting against goblins and ogres. Eventually he became a scout for the Tarloc guards stationed there, and during the Red Star crisis he had climbed the ranks to Commander, and was given control of the Tarloc forces at Ashrin Crossing. After the battle at Ashrin Crossing, Valdur was chosen to fill one of the empty spots as Lord of Tarloc.
