====== Major Duerte ====== A minor noble and an officer in the [[:skyss:places:Cottalem]] Horse Guards. He's tasked as the liaison officer to escort [[:skyss:chars:Yngvild]] when she is captured by [[:skyss:chars:Rojden]]. Yngvild gives him the slip in a roadside inn on the way to the Citadel of [[:skyss:places:Salicia]]. He is then tasked with leading a cavalry squadron in pursuit when she flees the [[:skyss:places:Citadel]] with [[:skyss:chars:Noren]], having dragged him away from Rojden. ===== Physical description ===== A young dark haired man with a swarthy skin tone. He looks slim and fit, dressed in a tight-fitting blue tunic covered in silver lace that looped across his chest and stomach around two rows of silver buttons that formed a V from his waist to shoulders. He had tightly fitted pine green trews on, with brown leather reinforcing the seat and inner thighs. The trews had a line of silver lace either side of the seams. This was all set off with a silver embroidered waist belt with a curved sword in a shiny metal scabbard. On his head he wore a conical helmet with a brim, cheek pieces and a wide neck flap. The cheek pieces were tied up just behind a white horse hair tuft on the top of the helmet. ^ [[:skyss:welcome]] ^ [[:skyss:characters]] ^ [[:skyss:places]] ^ [[:skyss:pantheon]] ^ [[:skyss:other]] ^ {{tag>fantasy world-building NaNoWriMo 2016 skyss_chars Skyss Duerte Cottalem Cavalry}}
