Palest Westruun

Palest Westruun was a trader, philosopher, and the founder and eponym of Westruun, Tal'Dorei.

In 812 PD, he was honored through a statue of him atop an onyx horse in Westruun's public square, in the city's Opal Ward. The statue, including the horse, is actually a stone golem (of unusually high intelligence and charisma) that will animate when the city's safety is threatened and act to defend the people.
