Tall and fair-haired with soft blue eyes, Nederan is handsome enough-- though his mouth is pinched-looking and his eyes are somewhat narrow and shrewd in appearance. He has the fair, chapped-looking skin common to the northern seaholds. Born to a wealthy seaholder near Tillek and his young wife Ysave, Nederan is not technically a Blooded man. After his father's death, his mother remarried to the recently widowed Lord Drehfti of Tillek Hold, and Nederan was brought up as if he were the Lord's Heir-despite the fact that Lord Drehfti had legitimate daughters by his first wife and Ysave. Proud and stubborn, calculating and determined, Nederan has taken a personal interest in the management and future of Tillek Hold. It was marked by many that he would have made a fine Steward for the Hold since his lineage certainly wouldn't allow Drehfti to name his heir! Nederan was married to Drilnity, a cousin of Lord Nabol, when he was 22. When Drehfti died in Turn 17, his mother pressed Nederan to claim Tillek Hold-- and he did for a Turn before relinquishing rule back to his step-sister Edeline. He and his family live quietly in a seahold not far from Tillek.
