Fortune of Hamoor

“Aristocracy's only an admission that certain traits which we call fine - courage and honor and beauty and all that sort of thing - can best be developed in a favorable environment, where you don't have the warpings of ignorance and necessity.”
-Fortune
== History ==
A noblewoman of an ancient but impoverished bloodline, Fortune was largely self-educated and learned from a young age that she would have to fight for herself. An impetuous youth, she fell in love with the squire Brannon Tatham, whom she she bore two sons, Maximilian and Frederick, who would later become known as Tolumvire of Arendur and Vitreous Vrinn. Tatham convinced her to give her eldest son to an orphanage, but by her insistence the younger son was raised by Lord Vrinn, a friend of her father's. For a long period of time it was an open secret that Tatham was the father of Fortune's sons, but when a chance for advancement to the prestigious Queensguard emerged, Tatham was forced to repudiate Fortune and deny that the children were his, offending her deeply and leaving her an object of shame and ridicule. 
== Personality ==
A proud and brittle woman, Fortune was quick to seize the advantage and slow to trust. Later in life, her greatest regret was letting others raise her sons, although in time she was able to reconcile with Brannon Tatham, though they would somewhat distant until the end of their lives. 
== War of the Philosopher-Kings ==
By the time of the War of the Philosopher-Kings, Fortune, now an elderly woman, had put her days of shame behind her. Due to her relative poverty, she was relegated to working as a governess for the children of other noblewoman, work which she refused to acknowledge as beneath her station. She knew of the deeds of her sons, and though she never spoke of them, she took great pride in them both. Category:Guilddon
