Marhcara



Marhcara (Old Rh. "Horse-Care") was the High-Thegen (High-Chief) of the Ailgartas-Clan, and by no means “leader” of the Aivathiuda, which had always been a rather loose organization of tribes. His arch-enemy was the Easterling Lyhud (also High-Chief) of the Tros Clan of the Sagath tribe, Tros Hesnef.

At 83, Marhcara was a member of an ancient house. A superb horseman, his cavalry enjoyed the thrill of striking an Easterling camp and carrying away their horses, while taking few prisoners. Standing 6’4” and weighing 265 pounds, Mahrcared was burly, blond, and gruff. Legends credited him with breaking the neck of an Easterling warhorse with his bare hands while a youth. Marhcara rode into battle on his steed, Moraga, striking a formidable presence with his expertise in axe and sword.
