Yavun Faithbringer is a young Knight, roughly sixteen years of age and a member of the Knights of the Sword. It's unclear if Yavun Faithbringer had proven himself in some battle to earn a position in the Knights of the Sword at such a young age or if he perhaps came from a prominent family in Solamnia and "elevated" to this position as a matter of privilege. Kallikus Elkford selected Yavun to lead a band of mercenaries from the High Clerist Tower to Varus, where from there, Yavun was instructed to leave them in Varus and ride north to the great city of Palanthas and speak to the Mayor about the reports of the undead and the Death Priests.
