Keeper of the Dreadwood
The Keeper of the Dreadwood is the regent of Dreadwood Glade.[1a][2a]
Tensions
Dreadwood has never been a popular glade; tensions with Heartwood and Oakenbrow are long-standing - in the latter case, the enmity dates back to the Age of Myth - and Alarielle has seen fit to reprimand the Keeper's encouragement of his glade's more vicious tendencies on more than one occasion.[1a][1b][3a] However, the Keeper believes that the Everqueen needs hims and his glade; the fear of Dreadwood is a potent weapon against the enemies of the sylvaneth.[3a]
Perhaps that is why the Keeper has vocally decried the Huntmaster of Kurnoth joining the Royal Moot and becoming a close advisor to Alarielle on military matters: with the Kurnoth Hunters becoming the Everqueen's shock troops, Dreadwood's usefulness may diminish and he will face more pressure to rein in his followers.[2b]
