Short summary
Mira Thorneguard is a fierce city guard captain who holds the line when politics, monsters, and criminals all press against the same gate.
Full backstory
Read full Full backstory
Mira was born in Highwall, a fortified trade city where order was never assumed and safety had to be enforced daily. Her father served as a gate sergeant, and her mother repaired armor for the city watch. Mira grew up around duty, discipline, and the quiet cost of keeping civilians alive. She joined the guard young, earned command through field decisions rather than noble favor, and became captain after holding the eastern gate during a three-night siege. Now she commands patrols, settles disputes between rival districts, and answers to a council that often fears her honesty more than her sword.
