'''Karl Sturnguard''' was a legendary hero who carried only his shield into battle. He was a contemporary and friend of [[Dirk Steadfast]].

===Life and death===

Karl Sturnguard spent most of his formative years under siege at his family castle. With his impregnable magic shield Sturnguard's motto was 'the best form of attack is defense.' Sadly his shield couldn't protect him from poor eating habits and he died during a post battle feast while swallowing a large sausage he had failed to chew.
