Rank: Junior Journeyman Harper
Location: Amber Hills Hold
Craft: Harper
Craft Rank: Junior Journeyman

Physical Description of Persona:
Valand is proud of being the only redhead in his large family, although it's faded since his apprentice days to a reddish brown. He has large dark grey eyes, a wide mouth, and fair skin, and is glad to have outgrown the clumsy build of his teenage years to become a tall and lanky young man.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Rarely seen outside of a conversation, Valand is a cheerful man who according to his grandparents has inherited far more than his fair share of the family tendancy towards garrulousness. His particular talents lie with the gitar and with composition - a mystery to those who regard a good composer to be a quiet and soulful sort of person. His work tends to be divided between difficult works only limited by his own instrumental ability, and simple, catchy ballads. He takes a mischievous delight in composing songs about anyone who he feels has a suitable trait for him to satirize.

History of Persona:
Valand was born into a family of harpers at the Hall and has loved music for as long as he can remember. He apprenticed to the craft on his twelfth birthday and was promoted to journeyman aged nineteen. His chosen speciality was composition and he studied that for two Turns before his posting to a minor hold. Recently, he returned from there to resume his studies and hopes to progress to senior journeyman rank within the next few Turns.
