Beneath the Golden Moon

Melana Lorik of Tharen

Name and position
Lorik of Tharen

Physical description
Lorik is a tall and well-muscled man. His hair went silver long before it's time. He sports a mustache but is otherwise clean-shaven. He attempts to bathe at least weekly (instead of monthly like the other knights). He always attempts to be courteous, and reguards discourtsy with little patience.

Personal history
Lorik squired for Petrys of Skrikau from 1310-1312.

Duties
Lorik has the duties of a Melana. He also presumably has a number of additional concerns due to his de facto leadership of the Banners of Honour. Just what the latter involves is, however, a mystery to those not associated with the group.

Friends and associates
Lorik associates most closely with the other Melana, and especially those who are fellow members of the Banners of Honour. He has been friends with Melana Rogan of Varien for some years.

Personality

Recent history
Last year Lorik challenged Melana Maryk Poladyn to a duel of honour. Instead of the young knight fighting the duel for himself, his retainer Ferek Milaka took his place - and won.

Gossip
Lorik's defeat in the duel with Ferek is the gossips' delight. The Meken are, for the most part, delighted that a commoner ousted a member of the nobility in a knightly combat.
