Adrak Maesch

Baron Adrak Maesch was the ruler of the 'Barondom' of Gelkeg in Gråbakkerprovins. Adrak believed he had the right to be High King of the province, as his uncle was the previous High King. Adrak then raised an army for his weak claim and challenged High King Areas Rask for their armies to do battle. The High King, wanting the War of Barons to end in his lands, rode out with his army of which outnumbered that of Adraks. They did battle on the frozen lake Rod and Adrak lost with many casualties and barely escaped with his life. Adrak Maesch wanted his army to increase in size, so he asked House Mirtayne to join his cause. The old Baron Henri Mirtayne refused and Adrak challenged Henri's able-bodied son, Harald, to a duel. Harald reluctantly accepted. They charged at each other on horseback and Harald Mirtayne impaled Adrak in the chest with his sword, killing him instantly.
