Rothgar Merefield became one of Elyra's most recognizable civic voices and a fierce defender of the Elyrian Compact. He could respect the Queen of Orenth, debate the institutions of Caelora, and still insist that neither possessed a right to govern Elyra.
“The Crown asks whom you trust. The Council asks what you owe. Elyra asks only what you intend to do while standing beside us.” — Rothgar Merefield
For Merefield, Elyrian neutrality was not indecision. It was self-determination.
