Kveldulf

Kveldulf (in Videssian Kveldoulphios) is an Haloga who was captured and sold as a slave to Zoïlos in the city of Skopentzana during the reign of Stavrakios. When it became apparent to Zoïlos that Kveldulf was interested in worshiping the god Phos and becoming a priest, Zoïlos granted Kveldulf his freedom.

Fifteen years after first being taken prisoner, Kveldulf, along with Videssian priests Tzoumas, Nephon, and Antilas, returned to Halogaland and preached the gospel of Phos to the people led by Skatval the Brisk. Although Skatval initially permitted them to preach, eventually he was angered to action when his daughter, Skjaldvor began showing an interest in the celebate Kveldulf. Although Kveldulf survived a sorcerous attack by Grimke Grankel's son, which killed his companions, he was beheaded by Skatval while preaching. Before he was killed, he asked that his head be preserved and sent back to Skopentzana. Skatval acceded to his wishes and Kveldulf is venerated throughout the Empire as a martyr who first successfully brought the worship of Phos to Halogaland.
