Hendac Tharesun

Hendac Tharesun was the effective leader of the Orts, a group of native Aluvian rebels who were most active during the rule of Alfrega.

He was the firstborn of Pwyll II's seneschal. As the brutality of Alfrega increased, he had traveled from one group to another, urging them to flee to the distant Luparvium Mountains. After Harlune openly defied the rule of Alfrega, Tharesun sought him out and together they visited the hidden camps of Orts throughout the year of 861. He initiated the construction of the Castle of Holdfast, which was not the mightiest of fortresses, nor by any means the most elegant, and which never held off any attackers - for Alfrega's loyalists never found it. Holdfast came to be a safe haven for the Orts and their sympathizers in the coming years. From the walls of the Holdfast, many a party rode down to the plains to waylay Alfrega's patrols, or to rescue her victims.
