Ghéri Myrnáld

Ghéri Myrnáld was an Etrandish farmer, merchant and peasant rebellion leader, best known for his role in Aederik's Revoultion.

Life before the rebellion
Ghéri Myrnáld was born on 701.83491870683, in Northern Etrand, specifically a village in the Margraviate of Steelhelm.

Aederik's Revoultion
A couple of months prior to the outbreak of Aederik's Revoultion, King Bryant I of Etrand enacted the so-called Anti-Rape Laws, which completely outlawed the cultivation of rapeseed within much of Etrand. Rapeseed was the core pillar of Ghéri's life, its cultivation being his main source of income, so he was particularly negatively affected by the king's anti-rapeseed policies. Royal enforcers were overzealous at enforcing the king's policies, burning down the rapeseed fields of peasants who refused to comply, without any compensation. When Ghéri publicly insulted the king for his "anti-rapeseed hysteria", he was subjected to relentless physical abuse by the king's enforcers - this was the last straw to Ghéri, who was pushed to the edge, and decided to take matters into his own hands: he used the remainder of his wealth to financially support Aederik the Posthumous, thus partially being the cause for the outbreak of Aederik's Revolution.

During the course of the peasant rebellion, he personally led the peasant rebels at many occasions. During the Battle of Mitrid Plains, he was captured alive by the Etrandish royal army, and subsequently executed by hanging.

Legacy
While the story of Ghéri isn't as widely recalled as that of Aederik the Posthumous - who became somewhat of a folk hero among peasantry - his name is still remembered in his native Northern Etrand, in the Margraviate of Steelhelm. Parents often tell their children the story of Ghéri as a cautionary tale about what happens to those who blatantly defy authority and turn to violence.
