Simm Buxtehude was a questor, founder and hero of Holden, and father to Myriad Buxtehude.[1] While the Oracle of Pale Mountain called him "Lord of Holden Valley," he denied the title.[2] He played a key role in defeating God-King Shad-Hujem during the War of the God-King[3] and crowned Genevieve as Queen of Holden shortly before his death by a mysterious wasting disease.[4]

Biography

Under Buxtehude's leadership, Holden grew from a refugee to a city, and eventually a nation recognized in the Circle of Nine.

In the War of the God-King, Buxtehude forged an alliance between Arcanix, The Displaced, Holden, Malchior, the Ord, and the Seelie Tuatha against God-King Shad-Hujem's cult and their allies in the Esh and the Unseelie Tuatha. Alongside Seelie prince Dundareel, Buxtehude tricked the God-King to commit his forces, allowing their own forces to sneak the Displaced's city-killing bomb into the God-King's presence and vaporize the dark one and bury the Godhead Seat.

Shortly thereafter, Buxtehude developed symptoms of a mysterious wasting disease known to the Displaced as "radiation poisoning." Before his death, he crowned Genevieve, Myriad's mother,[5] as queen of Holden and convinced the established factions of Countermay to recognize Holden as their equal.[4]
