**Ser Thomas-Firmino Eastborn** was a Knight of East Town and the Captain of its Townsguard.

## History

### Origins

Born alongside his brother, he lived in Easternlands by the coasts when one day his town was attacked and plundered by pirates after which his parents were killed while he escaped with his brother on a ship that took the brothers to the Free Cities, where the brothers came under the service of **Madamé Huei**, a brothel owner by the ports.

Growing up, the two brothers became fond of Madamé Huei and remained in Antos, where they became sellswords and returned often to the brothel from time to time. **From 82 to 86 CE**, the **Coastal Free Cities** became hosts to a series of attacks by pirates and mercenaries, to which the two brothers took up arms to protect their adoptive home, the **Brothel of Madamé Huei**. During this time, the brothers fought strong and bravely to which they earned themselves the name "**The Brothers Swordsmen of Antos**" or more commonly "**The Firmino Brothers**" by the commoners of **Antos**.

### Knighthood

Taking up the latter nickname, the brothers became a formidable sellsword duo protecting Antos, and were knighted by the Sheriff of Antos along-with other swordsmen who fought bravely for Antos in the time period against pirates and mercenaries.

### Journey to Easternlands

In 87 CE, a year after their knighthood, the two brothers travelled to Easternlands, their birth-land when a letter addressing them arrived from East Town by a distant relative. The brothers met with a distant cousin of their mother and learned of their origins. After learning of their origins, **Ser Thomas** remained in **East Town** while his brother took his farewell and returned to the **Free City of Antos**.

Remaining in East Town, Ser Thomas united with his two relatives, his mother's distant cousin **Walter Eastborn** and his distant cousin from his father's side Patrick Eastborn. Patrick was a member of East Town's Ranger's Guild and invited Ser Thomas to join the guild.

### Third Skirmish of East Town

In 92 CE, Lord of East Town came on war-terms with the **Lords** of Kenton and Ian Town, to which House of Brenton responded in favor of **East Town** against Ian Town and Kenton to which both sides prepared for war. From 92 to 96 CE, the skirmishes continued until **East Town** and **House Brenton** won with Ser Thomas, a Ranger Sergeant of East Town Guild killing nearly fifty men in battle, and Ser Thomas was appointed as a Townsguard of East Town.

### Knightly Service

Rising through the ranks, Ser Thomas became the Sergeant Officer of the Townsguard of East Town by 101 CE, and followingly an outlaw revolt took place in the forrest outskirts of Grantville to which East Town, the Township of Ferris, and the Township of Cillian gathered men to aid in their ally township. From Late May to August 101 CE, the Skirmish of Grantville took place where Ser Thomas killed and wounded outlaws as well as killing the outlaw lieutenant and exiled knight; the grandson of Lord Zachariyah (a Kingsmen) and the nephew of Ser Fareed Easternling and Ser Aurelius Stone, Ser Eustace Stone. The duel between Ser Eustace and Ser Thomas was one of the most deadly duels since the **Second Skirmish of East Town**.

During the skirmish, after defeating Ser Eustace a wounded and injured Ser Thomas was saved from death by **Lord Jarold Stone**, and in return Ser Thomas served as the Sworn Sword of Lord **Jarold Stone**, where Ser Thomas spent nearly two years where he befriended Ser Teucer, the nephew of **Grantville's Master-at-Arms**. After his knightly service, Ser Thomas returned to **East Town** as the **Sergeant Officer of the Townsguard**.

### Marriage

Rising through the ranks, Ser Thomas became the Sergeant Officer of the Townsguard of East Town, after which Ser Thomas accompanied the Lordship of East Town and Ladyship of East Town, **Lord** Jarold and **Lady Jane** Danvers along with their guards and few notable knights of the township to the Township of Ferris for the tourney in honor of **Lord Jonos Ferris' Daughter's Fourteenth Name Day**. At the tourney, a maiden caught the attention of Ser Thomas leading him to join the tourney representing East Town. As the tourney ended, Ser Thomas was among the last twenty knights standing among the hundreds who participated. During this time, Ser Thomas also befriended a young squire, Elvis Brown.

After the **Tourney at Ferris Township**, Ser Thomas traveled northeast to the Township of Yale with his friend **Ser Teucer**. At a festival, Ser Thomas reunited with the maiden and danced with her. Following two days, a tourney was held in Yale honoring the **Name Day of Master Jacob's Newborn Son**. Ser Teucer and Ser Thomas participated in the tourney where Ser Thomas was only bested as champion by Ser Leonardo Hessel, the nephew of Master Jacob while Ser Teucer won the sixth position at the tourney. Both men won prize money with Ser Thomas winning three-hundred Coppers while Ser Teucer winning one hundred Coppers. After the **Tourney of Yale Township**, Ser Thomas expressed his feelings to Maiden Ria who was already engaged with a noble knight concluding him to be challenged to duel to death as **Law of Yale of the Engaged**. The duel was tight but Ser Thomas managed to unarm his opponent and eventually kill him, marrying Lady Ria Eastborn in turn, the **Sheriff of Yale's Daughter**.

The **Marriage Ceremony** was held in East Town which was held in the presence of the Lordship and Ladyship, where his kin, the Sheriff of Antos and Lord **Jarold Stone** were also present, and his brother **Ser Drake** served as his best-man.
