Noel Guildford, the Thirteenth Baron of Guildford, is an enormous man of great appetites. In his fifties, his brown hair and beard are showing the first signs of grey, although his countenance is still that of man many years younger. While rotund, Noel is in remarkably good shape - hunting in the forests of his lands or fishing in the streams that run down from the Shadowyarn Mountains. He is an accomplished bowman. Noel is well-liked by his people, and his perpetually-festive mood makes him a popular companion for other nobles and especially the local dwarves.
Noel is well-known by his nickname "The Feasting King" owing to his love of a good feast, a good game, and a good woman. In fact, while his barony is aptly run by his advisers, Noel travels almost constantly - a long succession of events and parties that alternate between the City-State and Guildford. The Barony enjoys wealth and a relatively protected position in the Western Reaches.

The Shield Lands to the south provide some protection from the Bandit Kingdoms, although raids into Guildford lands still happen on occasion. These are mostly shrugged off by the Baron as incidental.
