Slú-Calón

Slu Carlon WAs the most powerful individual on the Council of Regents which ruleD the city of Bozisha-Dar. He lived in the most expensive of the seven premier palaces and has a following among the common folk of the city that was unrivaled. This loyalty remained constant, many said, largely because of his handsome features and a complexion of the lighter cast that marked him as a city man. Though such complexions were not common even in the Dar, it was taken by the city's commoners to set him firmly apart from the Narodbrijig and the people of the deep desert. This, in addition to enormous wealth that had belonged to his family for generations, had secured him a high position in the Council. As the occupant of the Palace of The Wood, the role of Ambassador to Foreign Powers was his as well, with all the advantages that went with the position. Carlon was an man of imposing appearance. He was tall and solidly built, with the walk of a born warrior. He kept himself impeccably groomed with a trim mustache and beard and close-cropped hair. His manners matched his image. He was mild in speech, but under the words one could feel that he was used to having his commands obeyed. He was a swordsman of great skill and had also gained renown for his merit as a tactician. His banner bore a silver scimitar against a field of crimson. Despite these merits, he had been blinded by his lust for power. Slu Carlon corresponded regularly with friends in Umbar, and his letters spoke openly of plans to seize the crown of his land. He failed to realize that his own people would see him dead within an hour of hearing of his scheming. He had also been completely duped by his would-be allies, who had no intention of using him as more than an avenue for the insertion of their will into the region. Fortunately, perhaps, both Carlon and his northern friends under- estimated the power that would arise from the Bozishnarod if these plans were set in motion.
