Duke of Eft

The Duke of Eft is ruler of the Duchy of Eft. The ducal house is the Neurergus clan

The current Duke of Eft, on 28/3/ FD5, captured the King of Hu and held him for a king's ransom. ("thirty thousand gold-weight"). He condemned the King for having killed Eft's brother, Lord Ambystoma.

In actuality the King had slain Ambystoma on the Battlefield of Thamnophis in fair one-on-one combat. It is uncertain to what extent Eft's actions were motivated by a sincere desire to avenge his brother's death and to what extent they were motivated by greed.

The Duke of Eft had chosen to remain neutral in the Latest Hu-Long military campaign. He was not a man of the battlefield like the King or Ambystoma and did not share in their desire for military glory.

The Duke has a pointed beard and he sits perched on his tall throne with one leg curled up on the cushion and one hanging down. He likes to consider himself an independent prince. Eft's megalomania hides insecurity. The duke is a bachelor.
