Baron Oren Vanalund was the 15th baron of Ruanon. He was once 5th in succession to the throne of Sommerlund.
History[]
Vanalund had at least four children:[1] a son named Karl,[2], two unnamed brothers,[3] and a daughter named Madelon.
After Barraka destroyed Ruanon, Oren's family were all slain, except for Madelon, who was taken as a sacrifice for the Maakengorge to awaken Vashna. This traumatic experience left him a whimpering and broken man.[4] After Lone Wolf defeated Barakka, and Ruanon was liberated by the Army of the South, Vanalund established his new seat of power at the Baron's Keep of Ruanon Town.[3]
During the Darklands War, Vanalund lost both his son-in-law and grandchild, Madelon's husband and child respectively.[3]
In MS 5087, Vanalund died, and his barony passed to Madelon.[3]
