Commander Gwyneth Sunsword is an Elf who is the leader of the Sunblades. She appears in the Roamin's Band of Thieves campaign and The Sunswords campaign.

Characteristics

Appearance

Gwyneth is a female Spellblade Elf with fair skin, gold eyes, and curly light brown hair. She wears heavy plate armor that covers most of her body, save for her face and joints. Underneath that, she wears green clothing and a green skirt that appears from her plate armor and parts from the front.

Personality

Gwyneth is a very strong warrior woman. She instills commands in all of her Sun Clerics, even to the point where Dave refused to be tricked until he was under the spell Charm. She is also very brutal to those who have wronged her. The Monkey Fish King even stated that if they have killed any of the elves under her command that she will kill them on the spot. Gwyneth further exhibited this trait by having Philhipé locked up for several months awaiting execution for damages against her village.

The Sunswords campaign provides a deeper look into her character. She appears to value the respect she receives from other elves and afraid of losing it on accounts of her being a pregnant woman. She tends to hide her softer side and can be cold and withdrawn even with her boyfriend.

Relationships

Xavius

Xavius is Gwyneth's ex-boyfriend, so the two were obviously romantically involved in the past. The fact that Xavius is still spending time with Gwyneth (despite her having a new boyfriend at the time) suggests the relationship did not end on really bad terms. At the end of the campaign, it is hinted that Gwyneth and Xavius are back together after Kallark leaves. However, it is unknown how long the relationship may last.

History

The Sunswords

Gwyneth Sunsword was the leader of a group tasked with escorting a prison caravan to the Silver Mine Mountains. The group initially consisted of Gwyneth, seven other elves and a gnome. One of Gwyneth's companions was her current boyfriend Kallark, and she also happened to be accompanied by two of her ex-boyfriends.

While battling through a canyon inhabited by Ytts, Gwyneth briefly fell under the control of a Ytt. Fortunately, she managed to break free from the Ytt through her own willpower before any major damage could be done. After clearing the canyon and scolding certain crew members for their incompetence, Gwyneth secretly informed Kallark that she was carrying his child. She insisted that this should be kept a secret for the time being because she did not want the others to treat her differently. Shortly afterwards, however, Kallark blurted out to his crew mates about his future child. Furious at his actions, Gwyneth dissolved her relationship with Kallark before the group moved on.

When the caravan came across a burning barn, Gwyneth was one of the first to burst through the rubble to reach the source of the crying voices inside. While inside, Gwyneth ignored two trapped Kobold children in favor of the noises that turned out to be nothing more than a child's toy. After the group defeated the Flame Spooky, Gwyneth was confused as to why she was unwilling to rescue the young Kobolds. She believed that her emotions may be out of line due to her hormones. Because of this, Gwyneth relinquished her command, leaving Kallark in charge of the team.

As the squad was coming up with a plan to deal with an Ogre blocking a bridge, one of Gwyneth's past boyfriends, Xavius, approached Gwyneth. Xavius confessed that he still had feelings for her. Gwyneth dismissed these advances in order to carry on with the mission. During these events, leadership was passed back to Gwyneth.

Gwyneth and the party ultimately arrived at the outer gates of the Silver Mine Mountains prison. Oddly, the gate was not opening for the caravan. Before Gwyneth could get a grasp of the situation, she was approached by the Porc prisoner, Jakelad, who had escaped the carriage by using his Charm spell on Kallark. The entire troop, except for Kallark, was then affected by Jake's Lullaby spell. To Jake's dismay, Kallark broke free from the Charm and began awakening his companions. Jakelad fled the scene but not before summoning his Porc allies to dispose of Gwyneth and company. As the battle ensued, Gwyneth and Kallark were trusted to force the gates open while the rest of the team (including the remaining prisoners) held off the attackers. Luckily, Gwyneth's allies were able to turn the tides against the Porc ambushers. However, while everyone else was still caught up in combat, Rufio, a mentally unstable Elf ally who had been obsessing over his love for Gwyneth for some time now, sneaked up on Gwyneth and stabbed her in the stomach, incapacitating Gwyneth and killing her unborn baby. The allies successfully repelled the Porcs and Kallark was able to revitalize Gwyneth. Upon learning the fate of his child, Kallark furiously threatened to kill Rufio. Gwyneth, however, knew that Rufio wasn't thinking clearly, and she decided that having him arrested along with the surviving Porc enemies would suffice as punishment. At the same time, Gwyneth allowed the previous prisoners who aided her team in combat to go free. Finally, after an emotionally devastated Kallark somberly walked off on his own, Gwyneth was last seen taking Xavius back as her boyfriend.

Roamin's Band of Thieves

Gwyneth was first seen inside of her home with some of her fellow elves. Squinks, in disguise as a young elven girl, walked in on them. Squinks took this opportunity to backstab his comrades by ratting out their location. Gwyneth took the word of the girl and left to search out the Monkey Fish Grotto for the gnomes.

After finding nothing but the Monkey Fish King, Gwyneth returned to her town and found Dave, the elf she left in charge of the little girl, standing outside the town cell with an untransformed Squinks inside. Dave revealed that he was bewitched by the Keen Gnome while his compatriots attempted to steal the key.

Enraged, Gwyneth met up with the thieves inside of her home and began a final battle with her Duskblade. The battle concluded with Gracias and K-4 jumping down the well to the Monkey Fish Grotto and Yumi and Squinks running out of the village. The Elves did manage to capture the Kobold Paladin Philhipé, locking him up for several months with plans to have him publicly executed for his crimes against the Elves.
