Cynric Oldshield

Cynric Oldshield is a national folk hero of Angeltir. He is the archetypal heroic figure and the most widely-venerated of all heroes in Angeltir – in many ways he is the national hero of the island. Many of the stories associated with Cynric sees him in conflict with his great enemy, Erlic (a kind of devil figure). Cynric’s symbol is a circle containing a stylised sword held in a fist.
