-[[Arthur Emeric]] is the longest-tenured Champion, having been in charge of Weehollow for just over nine years. This is a great source of pride for Weehollow inhabitants, and replicas of his morningstar can be seen hanging in bedrooms across the city. He is a half-elf (and, if you believe the rumors, half-giant) who stands nearly seven feet tall. The champion of brutish cyclops [[Jamrog the Massive]] has a polished public persona and can be found at charity events nearly every weekend. Arthur does not rely on gimmicks or puzzles in his challenge, beating anyone who manages to reach him by simply overpowering them in honorable combat.

-The city is surrounded on several sides by the ocean, known as the [[Domain of Man]] or just “the Domain”. Many college students and young professionals spend time on the rocky beaches or take boats from [[Weehollow Harbor]] when studying abroad. The [[Wyrmspine]], the mountain range that contains the Hoard, ends to the south, so many apartments have a lovely alpine view.
