Cospatric the Master of Cairc-faergus was one of the few local lords of Saralainn who could trace his blood back to the Dunadan nobility of old. This could not be easily reckoned from his appearance and even less from his manners and outlook on the world. Cospatric was 46 years, still hale but weathered beyond his years by the sea. He had lost a considerable patch of grey hair from the crown of his head, and his quick dark eyes were almost lost within the many lines of his face. Cospatric usually wore a vest of fine Dwarven scale mail the last relic of his forebears.
