Maakor Silven II

Maakor Silven II was the Maakor Castle castellan during the onset of the Edelmaa Great War. He is known for his valiant defence of the castle in the Battles of Maakor Castle.

Maakor's life during the war was rough and he became insane. Maakor then became a relic of the Great War, probably not even conscious of his state.

## History

Maakor was born into the famous Silven family. Maakor's father was Lord Kenrith Silven. Maakor II was named after his legendary grandfather Sir Maakor Silven. Maakor's mother was a priestess of the Forgotten cross. She was very caring and loving of Maakor..

### Battle of Maakor Castle

In 20 May 170 when the Edelmaa Great War began Maakor II was at the Maakor castle behind the enemy lines. As from the Western shores, only the Maakor Castle and the City of Leowell stayed loyal to the crown.

June 4, 170, the Battle of Maakor Castle began. Maakor only had a garrison of 100 men whilst Tamor had a force of 7,000 men. During the battle Maakor dueled General Tamor. Tamor rushed Maakor with his mace but Maakor parried and managed to punch his sword into Tamor's chest, which threw Tamor off the battlements killing him instantly. This caused a rout on the west side of the battlements with over 1,000 men fleeing. But on the eastern side thousands of men were flooding in. Maakor decided to burn the castle whilst the Peasant army was in. Maakor set the castle ablaze and then fled.

### Escape

Maakor fled to Leowell. After a few months Maakor set sail to the Royal Keep with a ship loaned from Leowell.

While passing through the island of Baathúr, the Baathúrian Red-Hawks noticed them. 500 Baathúrian men took to the chase. Maakor's ship was quickly located and the sails were set on fire. Maakor had to swim to reach the shore which was quite close to Maakor. Maakor swam to the south-east shore in the middle of Tadaheim held by the peasants and Fon held by Jiri Baathúr.

On shore, Maakor ran into the Réd forest as he was now chased by the leaderless peasant army and the 500 Baathúr Warriors. Maakor climbed a tree trying to hide from his chasers. The peasants did not notice him but after a while the 500 Baathúr Warriors showed up and held siege.

### Battle of the Réd forest

After few hours of the Baathúr Warriors trying to climb the tree, Steel Knights were spotted charging at the 500 Baathúr Warriors. A battle ensued with Maakor in the middle of all of it. Maakor climbed down and tried to escape, but the peasant army had also turned around and was charging towards the Steel Knights and the Baathúr Warriors.

### Baathúr Retinue

Eventually Maakor managed to escape and reached the city of Fon, which was unfortunately conquered by Jiri Baathúr. Jiri took Maakor captive. Jiri castrated and tortured Maakor and then took him as his personal captive.

During his time in Jiri's retinue, Maakor traveled to Dives, where he witnessed the Battle of Dives. In the battle his father Kenrith Silven was killed by Jiri's men. Maakor began to descent to insanity. Maakor accompanied Jiri to the Battle of Ravaged manor field which was won by the Royalists. The Royalists saved Maakor, but he was at the point of no return. Maakor was sent to the Royal Keep to attend the best physicians present.
