Dishe Dynasty

### Pre-Notoriety

The Dishe come from an extensive line of masons and blacksmiths, many of whom worked by aiding militiamen, building walls and barracks, making equipment, and so on. In certain circles, they were quite renowned, but those circles were for the most passionate, their likes and ideals being very specific, making them very small groups. As time changed many the Dishe Dynasty adapted and started organizing family businesses, trade networks, mercenary companies. However, they were not known for this because the Dishe were a cadet branch, serving under the Lerough House. Eventually though, they tried to break off. Soon Lerough Mercenaries were sent after the migrative Dishe Family, the Dishe were caught off Guard, however the battle was fought with a ratio of 1:5, the Dishe having a primitive caravan of their own. Many died but eventually so did all of their attackers. The Dishe looted all of their fallen counterparts and enemies, gave twenty percent of their spoils to the mercenaries, and continued.

### Post-Migration

For years after the Dishe still used the Lerough Coat of Arms, but soon a man called "Eugene Dishe" drew a new flag/ Coat of Arms for the Dishe. They continued doing what they did, smithing, building, trading, the usual. Until a few of the younger men ventured off for adventure against the better judgement of the elders. They came back telling stories of wealth and opportunity, but most importantly the total eradication of the Lerough, they had been in decline earlier before the Dishe young came and finished them off. Hearing of this the elders immediately formed a mercenary company, copying the past ideas of the Lerough Mercenary company was formed on. Eugene, now an elderly man, still worked and still produced a great Banner for the mercenaries.

### Mercenary Work

Soon after forming the Mercenaries they built a rudimentary fort next to their village and started taking on work, this gave them a funds and, a little bit of local folk-glory. Yet they were in a precarious position. They refused to hire anyone who wasn't of Dishe origin, they did solve this problem however by offering to adopt outsiders. After years of successful work they were forced to shut down. Not much crime or other dangers were being committed around the area, therefore not much work was to be had. They kept the fort and offered to be hired as the town guard/militia, they were way more skilled than the former street-smart urchins. They were eventually hired as the mayor was Dishe.

### Grum

A boy of the main, original line of Dishe was born, he was brawny, tougher than the other Dishe, yet he still possessed interest in the winemaking business of the Dishe. Eventually though, through either pure love for his family or forced assimilation he joined the town guard, however this job was boring to him. He begged to be sent off to fight, and since his father, a traditionalist, was onboard with the idea. He was sent off. He came home sometimes, brought back gifts and money. He did marry, had a three kids. Yet life was still boring. He was hailed as a hero as his arrogance and silver-tongued charisma brought notoriety to the Dishe all around. One day he went to his father, again, and asked if he can be let off to migrate with his family. His father, though proud of Grum and ready to honor his every word, still doubted the idea, but having his son's best interests at hand and also believing in his son he agreed. Grum took his family and migrated to a distant land, the day before that they feasted, danced and laughed, yet at the end they all cried, but not once did Grum rethink his decision. He settled down, yet his life was still boring, even though he got to making his vineyard which he always wanted, now he wanted to go back, to fighting, working, it was the life for him. Now head of his branch of the family, nobody was there to doubt his word, his immediate family even hailed him for it, and so, he left home to work, although this time, he promised that he would be with his family a lot more, since his main base would be his Villa.

**Eiense**

male from aristocratic rhodium esense which lived in medium ring of *silent city.* He had basic life of ager from one of deluxiv families when at one morning when he woke up after feast the orc plague happened, in first days life stayed normal because of danger being hold at outer ring but later he had to hide with his brothers in dark alleys not to be slain by orcs, cultists or other enemy survivors. After death of his friend, he decided to leave the city, never come back and erase the location of it. After setting his course to mountains of misery, where not much of those who went there actually returned, he didn't want to return. He set camp in deep forest and lived by hunting and in winter, stealing from nearby villages. During one trip to a village he heard about dangerous raiders who were attacking and killing everyone who was in their sight, worried about fact that they can find him alone and unprepared he made a choice to join them, he knew he could easily adapt to any enviroment. About week later, when he knew location of their camp he went there to observe and wait for perfect moment to strike. When one of guards was checking area nearby he quickly rushed in his direction, hoping he will be fast enough he stopped right behind the guard, ready to grab and snap his neck, then guard like heard him and rotated to see who tries to sneak behind him, but that was impossible, eiense was moving too silently for anyone to hear it, but then, he sees another opportunity when guard instead of calling rest, with a bored face he looked at eiense, thinking it was one of campers, before he even realized that its an intruder, eiense pushed a dagger right into throat of his enemy, guard with a shocked expression on his face collapsed onto ground and released his last breath. before anything wrong could happen, eiense grabbed his body into bushes and changed clothing to disguise, when he finished and made sure that there were no signs of attack. When he arrived at camp he checked which tent was his and when he got that knowlege he went inside to cool down, inside there was one 2 person bed, without much thinking he began his rest. around 5 minutes later someone went into tent, eiense quickly woke up and saw a woman with a bright white skin and black hair, woman said

- did you forgot that is mine part of bed?

- i was tired so i just laid my body where it was easiest to do - eiense replied knowing, that it is probably female partner of now dead guard. he moved onto second half of bed

- come on, it wasn't that hard hunt - she said and headed into wardrobe when she suddently stopped, and fell into ground, eiense almost immedatiely started to feel the intense scent of garlic, it wasn't one of his favourite herbs but it wasn't reason he ran outside the tent. When he arrived in front of tent that seemed to be the tent of some sort of medic. He went inside and as he saw that doctor was looking at him so he started explaining what happened, when he ended doctor said:

- son, i know it can be a suprise but you know how garlic poison works, there was a bloodeater and later there is no bloodeater, almost impossible to detect until death of its victim, i knew she shouldn't say that joke, theoretically you also should be dead but poisoner thought it would be bigger pain for you to live without her, now go pack up, we are going to leave tonight. Eiense was safe, or was he, now he was part of bloodeater crew where poisoning and deadly intrigues were common thing.

**Flareon, Harvester of souls**

A tall hooded character, you  can't quite make out it's face, but it gives an eerie sense that death is near. A green scale pokes out of its ragged cloak, for this is indeed Flareon the servant of death.

At its core, you know Flareon to be an tortoise like humanoid, who hails from a small town on the edge of the Great Forest. A town called Whappet. You know that a great plague was brought upon the small town. A plague that destroyed all but one. A plague of humans.

They burnt through the village. They crushed the shells of all of Flareon's friends and family. They destroyed everything it new.   They destroyed Flareon.

As it layed there on its back it knew the end was near. It knew the end was here. And yet it would not give up, it would not give in.

As it lay there... it felt a hand lift it up. It felt a cloak on its shoulders, an ax in its hand. It felt a purpose... and then she spoke... the Goddess of Death herself. It had been saved from death... by Death.

Now it lives on the surface of this world. Ending lives. Yet redeeming souls. Giving a new beginning for what was at its end. This... this is Flareon's true purpose.

Appearance:

A humanoid with a slim shell and scaly skin. It has a ragged coat, leaving its face in shadow and mystery.

Relatives:

The Goddess of Death (kind of)

Profession:

Farmer of souls

Character's Goals:

To keep its Goddess happy

Character goals:

I wish to have Flareon discover empathy and grow as a character, to be more independent.

Age:

Flaeron is forever 22. However in mortal terms it is 121

Flareon is marking his 100th anniversary by trying to open up his social skills and have more of a life. Although... it is only does this as its master told it to.

Gender:

Since becoming the Servant of Death, Flareon has no gender. This was to make all fair for Flareon, so that it may not judge or be judged on futile misgivings such as gender.

Skills:

Assassin

Consultant(Although it may seem young, it is wise beyond its years)

Connection to the Dishe:

For many years Flareon came and freed the souls of the Dishe. One day it decided to look further. To its surprise no one was scared or frightened of its presence. They let Flareon in the same way its goddess did. They were outcasts, lonely beings just like it was. After a long talk with the Goddess of Death she allowed it to join under one condition... It would not and could not favor them in Death. Once a year Flareon was freed from its duties to meet up with the Dishe and once a year... Flareon felt joy. The Goddess say this joy that almost possessed Flareon during this time, and decided. She decided that Flareon must go out into the realm of the living and... *socialize.* Although Flareon was averted to this idea, it carried out its Goddess' wishes. But this time *it* had one condition... It would continue to serve the Goddess and it would also use its time amongst the living to show others not to fear Death... but to embrace it as Death, as it had learnt, was capable of great things, and even kind things.
