Nimdar the Warrior

In the far East of Sumerval where the roaring of the seas could be heard over the top of Hemfirtis, one of the Fair Nefilnir still lived. He was called Nimdar and he was brother to Nolgar the Strong who warred in the days of Holgarth. Now Nimdar interceded not in the wars of the Urok, for he deemed them a folly; and he fled from the sacrilege that was offered to the Black Traveler. But Nimdar was a mighty warrior who held a stone hammer in one hand and a stone axe in the other. Against his foul brethren he had once fought as an ally to Baere the Green. So that he was greatly loved by her and called Faylakus, Warden of the East, and Baere never failed to send him gifts from the bounty of the land.

Nimdar is one of the Nefilnir -- offspring of the union between immortal Besnir and the Aeniresa who then dwelled across the world. They were giants and heroes among the Besnir, becoming the stuff of legend. Those good among them were termed the "Fair." But some became intoxicated by their own power and became evil -- known as the "Foul".

Nimdar is the last of his kind and it is said that he is greatly loved by Baere. Like her, he is immortal, born of immortals. Only the duty of her office keeps them apart in perpetual and requited but unconsummated love. Nimdar rescued Baere from Arachnor after she had spent her immortality on the Valkauna.
