Lord Armand Cors

Armand grew up the son of wealthy nobles, Lord Derrand and Lady Priscilla Cors.

History
He was a quiet child and a good student, but led a sheltered upbringing. He had few friends in the children of the council members that his father shared business with and never forged any lifelong relationships with them.

Having lost his mother Priscilla when he was very young, he does not remember much of her and was raised primarily by his father and the staff of the Cors estate.

Armand showed an early interest in literature and spent a lot of his time reading. Since his father would rarely permit him an excuse to leave the city, he explored Gl'rel through books. He enjoyed cartography as a hobby and spent a lot of his time copying maps out of the books he read.

When he was older and more capable he began embarking on outings in the local countryside on horseback, a hobby he greatly enjoyed. He would explore nearby areas which he felt he could accurately transcribe into maps upon his return. These outings always made his father nervous since he knew the dangers that lurked in the wilds. For this reason he always set out with a small contingent of bodyguards.

When he came of age, he was set up with Lucrezia Vash, the daughter of Lord Tumeris Vash, one of his father’s council members and business associates. He liked Lucrezia very much, but her outgoing nature intimidated him.

It was inevitable during Armand’s afternoon rides that he would come across Dahlia, the beautiful and enigmatic stable maid. He was ostensibly smitten. It wasn’t long before she would accompany him on his afternoon outings. Armand began seeing her at night as the two would sneak off to avoid chaperones. The midnight trysts became quite infamous among the manor.

Armand's father was not happy with his son's decision to marry Dahlia, a lowborn peasant, but he eventually gave in to his son’s impassioned wishes for marriage which played on memories of Lord Derrand's late wife.
