Person · Warden of Rivermarch

Maximus

The Indomitable Warden of Rivermarch

Linzi’s notes

“Maximus. Warden. Automaton. Lady Jamandi woke him in Restov with one order: you will be Rivermarch's shield. Failure is not a component in this equation.” 8:03

“He turned four volunteers into a guard, and the guard into a militia that runs itself. His sword folds into his arm. It's engraved: one cut, one kill. He does not waste words. He made a joke once. I wrote it down.” 8:14

Three years later

Made the militia a force that runs itself, took new combat upgrades, and kept up a correspondence with Lady Jamandi Aldori.
