![[Garrik.webp|700]] Garrik Stormstride is a massive centaur, his towering frame built from a lifetime of war and discipline. His coat is a deep iron-grey, streaked with older scars that have faded but never disappeared. His human half is just as formidable, broad-shouldered, powerful, and weathered by the harsh Kildeverian winds. His face is stern and lined with the weight of countless battles and difficult judgments. His long, storm-white hair is braided tightly, decorated with small iron rings, each one marking a battle survived or a law upheld. His piercing steel-grey eyes are the kind that seem to see straight through lies and hesitation. A single deep scar runs across his right brow, a remnant of a duel where he refused to yield. Unlike the more mobile [[Plainsriders]], Garrik wears heavy, darkened steel plates over his chest and shoulders, bearing the mark of the [[Oathsworn]], a carved spiral of the eternal wind, symbolizing Kildeverian law. His massive glaive, nearly as tall as a man, rests across his back, its blade nicked and worn from years of delivering judgment. ![[Garrik_SB.webp]] Garrik is a living embodiment of [[Kildeveria]]’s law, unyielding, unshaken, and without mercy for the weak. He does not suffer fools, cowards, or those who waste his time with excuses. Every word he speaks is deliberate, measured with the weight of certainty.
