Obediah Northcrest was a descendant of Ulysses Northcrest and ancestor of the current Lord Northcrest. Known as the Wandering Baron, he apparently disappeared during one of these adventures. It is said that wherever he roamed, he now lies there. He is from a period about three generations from current time, and is thus likely the father or directly related to Samias Northcrest, and the son of Benedict Northcrest.
An obelisk is dedicated to him in Kaitlin Court in Moorsditch, Stonemarket.
John Crowley's great grandfather made the obelisk to honor the Wandering Baron. It was apparently made out of Cragscleft stone.
Obediah travelled the world
its secrets before him unfurled
He followed his star
To lands near and far
As the city sank and it swirled
