Merlin Wynn became an active member of the Barony of Altavia in 2022 following the great plague. He enjoys trying all the things, and finding ones that will stick. He sings with the Caid Band of Bards every chance he gets, and is studying block carving / printing. He practices archery every chance he gets, and fights with a rapier whenever he isn't shooting arrows, singing, or printing.
