Alke Fairburne

When invaders poured into her village, Alke discovered her talent for strategy and leadership. Securing the cooperation of women and children around her, she used wagons and carts and debris to corral the horde into the square while the men engaged them hand to hand. Penned by barriers, the villagers rained fire, stones, and arrows on the invaders from above. While losses of life and property were substantial, the enemy was destroyed. In the aftermath, every home was given a weapon to hang on the wall, and every resident instructed on how to react more quickly in the future. Alke founded a militia and trained her replacement before setting off alone.
