XalthanArticle written by Uziel
Xalthan (? PC - 2191 PC) was a male human of Ergoth, who was a senior military advisor and general in the Ergothian army. He had a red beard, bristling eyebrows and was missing his front teeth. Xalthan had a wild and savage appearance that made him look permanently angry and warlike. In 2192 PC he met with Emperor Quivalin V and his fellow generals, Giarna and Barnet in Caergoth, to discuss their campaign against the Wildrunners of Kith-Kanan. Xalthan and Barnet had already conferred previously and the red-bearded general had agreed to lead his forces from the south on an assault of Sithelbec. He favored the use of gnomish artillery in his forces, and advocated the use of lava cannons during the campaign. During the siege of Sithelbec, Xalthan's army accidentally caused a blunder with their lava cannons. General Giarna ensured the failure to decimate Sithelbec was blamed entirely on Xalthan and reported this to Emperor Quivalin V. The Emperor then sent a summons for General Xalthan to report to Daltigoth under guard, where he was tortured and then publicly executed. References
