 Despite his wellborn upbringing, Sir Byron's appearance is often at odds with his background.  He often has the appearance of a sailor or traveler; this is likely on account of the large periods of time he has spent at sea or traveling across long stretches of empty lands, in pursuit of his secular and religious duties.
 '''Fun Fact:''' Sir Byron purportedly worships the god of thieves, claiming that, as how in some areas of the world villages revere creatures such as rats and never suffer from plague, similarly by worshiping the god of thieves he is excluded from the attentions of members of that most ancient profession.

		+	After his appearance in March, Sir Byron disappeared; it was thought that perhaps he was lost along with the rest of his countrymen when Alliance fell. However in the 8th month of the year he reappeared, somewhat disheveled. By his own report he had made landfall in the northeast, on the edge of Legion lands, and had ridden hard so as to be able to attend the [[Events of the year 3 DY#Banner Battles & Giants Roam the Land (8/11)\|gathering of the peoples]]. After his introductions in March, he had set sail aboard a [[Legion]] caravel traveling to the east, to visit the distant lands of [[Endor]]. The ship was delayed, first with looking for a [http://www.dargarth.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=569 missing merchantman], and then was forced to delay near the eastern Bitter Peak island-city due to the breakout of hostilities between [[Mardur]] and the [[Explorers Guild\|Explorers]]. When finally the ship was able to return to the mainland, he was set upon an unsettled shore, from which he traveled to the gathering.
		+
		+	The future thereafter is widely known: he attended the [[The Lay of Eliananna and Tanith Lorn]], setting up his pavilion amongst the Legion encampment, staying neutral in the dispute between the feuding families, but doing his part to recover and protect the sacred wards. This was also his first meeting with the nation of [[Erzoth]], who had moved quickly in the wake of destruction to "protect" his country's lands. Somewhat surprisingly physical hostilities did not ensue, but terse words were exchanged by both sides on several occasions.<br>
