![]() James, Locklear, and Patrus rushed to the Dimwood, ahead of the Kingdom forces, where they managed to disable the rift machine, but at the cost of Patrus's life. The real invasion took place with Delekhan's forces using a rift machine to travel to the Dimwood Forest. Upon torturing a moredhel commander of the failed invasion forces, they discovered that the attacks on both Northwarden and Highcastle are feints. ![]() While the attack on Northwarden prove to be a feint, canny Prince Arutha had split the Armies of the West, sending the second half to reinforce Highcastle. ![]() During the siege however, Prince Arutha and the Armies of the West came to reinforce Northwarden, acting on information from Owyn and Gorath. However, they were unable to prevent Nighthawks from assassinating Baron Gabot, the ruling noble of Northwarden. Amongst other things, buying the allegiance of a group of goblin mercenaries, destroying a siege weapon, and slaying six moredhel magicians inside the Kingdom borders. Along with a magician Patrus and Duke Martin, they managed to contribute towards the war effort. Some time later, acting on information retrieved from the Nighthawks's lair, Locklear and James investigated rumours of Nighthawk infiltration in the border cities of Northwarden and Highcastle, in preparation for the moredhel invasion. Another moredhel assassin chose to strike at that moment, but were foiled by the magician Pug. After taking a detour into the sewers underneath the city, where they met Seigneur James, they were able to meet with Arutha. On the way they met a young magician, Owyn Beleforte who tended his wounds, and after Gareth saved them from a third assassin, he obliged Owyn to come along with them toward Krondor but not without peril as they were beset time and again by moredhel assassins. Initially refusing his request to meet with Prince Arutha, Locklear was persuaded when the moredhel whispered " Murmandamus lives".Įscorting Gorath to Krondor from the Northlands, he took pains to keep both alive, pursued by 2 moredhel assassins. It was during one of his routine patrols that Locklear encountered Gorath of the Ardanien, a renegade moredhel being pursued by his own kind. An unfortunate affair, however, saw him being "punished" by Arutha, who sent him to the border city of Tyr-Sog for a period of ten years, to which Locklear begged James to use his influence to shorten. Squire Locklear matured, becoming a much respected (and well-liked among the ladies) Seigneur of Krondor, as well as one of the finest swordsmen in the Kingdom. Ten years of peace followed the Battle of Sethanon. Squire Locklear briefly entered military service under a daring garrison leader named Baron Moyiet who watched the Moredhel with an unforgiving eye. He killed the soldiers, and hid with them in the cellars, where James found him, busy, when the battle is over. Fighting desperate battles on the streets, Locklear came upon a girl attempting to protect her younger brothers from the moredhel. When this city, too, was overrun, what remained of the Kingdom forces made their last stand in Murmandamus's ultimate objective: the city of Sethanon. Squire "Locky" died that day, and the future Seigneur Locklear was born, as he began cutting down moredhel left and right, as his friend James mourn the loss of his friend's innocence.Īrmengar was soon abandoned, and the refugees fled to Highcastle. Their relationship was tragically cut short when Bronwynn was killed by a mountain troll. Here, Locklear met and fell in love with Bronwynn Alpress. Their journey brought them to Armengar, where an exiled noble of the Kingdom, Guy du Bas-Tyra, commanded the inhabitants of the city as the Kingdom's first line of defense against the moredhel invasion. A shy person, his life changed forever when he decided to join James and accompany Arutha to investigate the attempts on the Prince's life.
