Scald

Scald is a golden eagle and the current king of Alyetheia. Scald was known to be much larger than a normal golden eagle and was both respected and feared for his strength, keen eye, swiftness and agility, and merciless battle skills. Scald came into power through rising up the ranks of the Alyetheian army, eventually battling the previous king and defeating him. Scald was a firm believer in the Goddess and was furious at Deucan's proposal that the Goddess be banished from the Land: and as such, he sided with Laat during the white gyrfalcon's quest to unite the six kingdoms Scald was known as the Warrior as foretold in the Te'pi.

Scald was king to over sixty golden eagles, who all lived upon the island of Alyetheia to the west of Elémere. Because golden eagles are massive predators, the island could not support more than sixty of them, and as a result many other species of raptor were forced to vacate the island for fear of starvation. Scald's bloodline is one of the strongest in the kingdom, and he had many siblings and cousins under his kingship. Despite this, he knew very few of his subjects and only had a close relationship with a slect few, including his brother and the High Priest Drieg and his second-in-command, a female golden eagle named Sigil.
