Jennifer Ludlow †

Claire Ludlow (twin sister)

Casim Ludlow (brother)

Aimee Ludlow (sister)

Eason Ludlow (brother)

Heartstone Family

Twin of Claire Ludlow, Jennifer was born in 997AE to parents Mancel Ludlow and Amarika Ludlow. She and her twin did not get along well and avoided each other whenever possible. She spent a fair amount of time with her youngest brother Eason Ludlow and often could be found babysitting or taking him on adventures around the Ludlow Estate grounds.

Her father was searching for a husband for her, but struggling to find someone she would agree to marry. She was a bit of a romancer, seducing men left and right. Somehow these rumors were never completely proven, but she was still considered the more scandalous of the Ludlow twins.

**1014 AE, Last Moon** - Jenny died at the hands of a shapeshifter who also murdered her mother and two unborn siblings. It was likely she was first seduced by the shapeshifter who took the form of a handsome drow before he murdered her in the act of making love.
Dul-Sansiska Ranger Order

The Dul-Sansiska Ranger Order are a small selection of elite drow that work either independently or in conjunction with other military assets during times of crisis. Rangers are trained to survive the harshest conditions of Aradia and made to understand nearly every terrain conceivable for battle. It takes decades of dedicated study, discipline, and rigorous expeditions to be authorized to even join the Order in the first place-with veteran status being held on the same field as a Mabusan soldier in regards to strength and status. The entire force are comprised of pureblood drow lines, as the must have the physical requirements needed to endure the punishment of training and the associated tasks given to them throughout their service.

Their tenure is rewarded not in lands, but rather a place int he revered Drow Vaults to be entombed upon their death alongside the legendary ancestors. This honor combined with the satisfaction of being an elite warrior int he service of one's people entices the rangers. The Ranger Order is under the direct authority of the Governor General of Ques Novich, again to separate power from the House and forcing checks on power and reckless endangerment of the welfare of Ques Novich.

The Order number tops out at 2,000 Rangers.
Geoffrey Blackthorne

Jacques Blackthorne (brother)

**Geoffrey Blackthorne** is the younger son of Dominic Blackthorne and Estelle Waynrite. He has a kind nature, though his parents treat him poorly. He is well-liked by his cousin Talia Blackthorne, but bullied by his brother Jacques. Geoffrey currently squires for his cousin Sir Desmond Karhall, who is warring with House Knox in the Marshlands.
Bladed Star of Zar'Taka Bruul

### Effects

The capability to destroy demons and absorb them into the blade's power, sharpening the blade and enhancing the strength of the destructive power contained within the sword.

### Cost to sell

Not for sale

The Bladed Star is a legendary longsword on the same category of Redwing in legacy. The Star was made form the heart of Zar'Taka Bruul, a slain High Demon who had disregarded Vermithax's rule and payed for it with his life after challenging a Drow to combat. Thanks to his arrogance there was nobody to aid the demon as the Drow dispatched of him in a mighty duel that took place deep in the forgotten valleys of the Obscura Mountain Range.
Kraai

Kraai before her Entanglement

*“This body was mine once. But no longer. You have already delivered me my greatest desire – a method to be rid of this distraction. To be rid of Metheryl’s prancing about in my old shell. I will never be free of her song, but I might finally finish the hunt.”*

Kraai is a Void Elf trapped in the body of Wild Elf Metheryl Arcaena. She was born in 310 AE, in the Void. It is not known what magic exactly she specializes in, but there is evidence that she is a very powerful being.

In 325 AE when she was only 15 years old, Kraai took part in an experiment under the tutelage of a demon called the Ancient. Something went wrong and she ended up exchanging bodies with the Wild Elf Metheryl Arcaena.

In the 700 years since, Kraai has lived within the body of a stranger but has made the most of it. She is in a position of high power and allegedly has demons under her command. There may be some association with the Underking, although she doesn't seem to have been involved with the Massacre at Riverford.

There is a possibility she took over the work of the Ancient after it was killed in Metheryl's escape.
Mordaghast

One of the forms taken by the Underking

The Great Light

The White Flame

King-Who-Shall-Be

**Mordaghast**, **the Second Great Underking of the Void**, is the sovereign ruler of all Demonkind. This creature rose to power some time after the death of his predecessor, the great Wyvern Vermithrax, by conquering and subjugating all the other High Demons of the Void into subservience. He is currently preparing to attack the Terrestrial world on the largest scale seen since the time of the first Demon Wars; his ultimate goal, it seems, is to destroy all terrestrial life and take their realm for the Voidspawn.

While the Underking is obviously a very powerful creature, it is unknown exactly what time of Demon he is. He has appeared to his followers in various forms, including that of a "Dark Stranger." It seems most likely that Mordaghast is a Wyvern, as these creatures are generally the most likely to achieve such levels of power.

The Underking keeps many servants. The Void Elves seem to have a particular loyalty to him. His two most trusted agents are his Generals, the Void Elf Malakai and the Wyvern Imshael. He also has a human agent, Steerpike, who enacts Mordaghast's will in the terrestrial world.

Upon entering the Void to confront the Underking, a squad of mages including Talia Blackthorne and Divankul Dul-Sansiska discovered that Mordaghast was a pesudonym used by Jason Blackthorne.
House Hawthorne

**The most noble House of Hawthorne** are an extinct cadet branch of House Blackthorne. Their creation grew from a time of upheaval in the Thunderlands, after the tyrannical Lucas Blackthorne had been deposed by his successor Lancelot Blackthorne. The large island of Whiteoak Plains, which had been given to the command of the various lickspittle knight Lucas had served, had fallen into disrepair. Lancelot's thirdborn son Hawley was given the task of bringing order to them once again. In the process he gained a rapport with the island and its peasantry. When he killed a wild Cockatrice that had been terrorizing the populace, he took its symbol as his own banner. Upon his father's death, Sir Hawley Blackthorne was given the Plains as his own dominion; his family were known for a while as "Hawley's Blackthornes," and then the "Hawleythornes," and eventually just the "Hawthornes." Hawley's descendants ruled as the most powerful of the Blackthorne's bannermen for nearly 400 years, before Arthur Hawthorne fought on the wrong side of the Second Blackthorne Civil War. Arthur's brother and heir, Jason, drowned during a naval battle while Jason's sons had already been killed in the war. The Lord himself was hanged for his treachery. Hawthorne's younger daughter remarried into the main line of House Blackthorne; his scheming elder daughter was married to a peasant soldier who had fought for the loyalists, and their descendants became House Waynrite.
Demonbreu

Village Square, 1080AE

Demonbreu is a large agricultural village and surrounding farmland that comprises a portion of the western region of the Homefast hold, south of the fishing settlement of Vanvinge and directly north of The Hunting Grounds.

Two other areas of great note is the Rogan Trading Post and the Golden Orchard Apothecary, two businesses which, in no uncertain terms, made this village what it is in the modern era, and continue to be great sources of revenue for the village. The village has been headed for thirty years by the same governing body, the Village Chief Hector Umbridge, and to a less vocal extent, Madam Amarika Umbridge. Their hard work and dedication to the growth of what was once a simple farming hamlet has transformed the entire area into a point of pride for the people of the Hold.

Prior to the arrival of the Umbridges, the area was best known for its storied history as the site of a legendary battle waged between Lord Rogan Holdenhome, and the invading demons of the First Demon War in 244AE. While the original hamlet was razed, Rogan's forces waged a pitch battle against the horde, eventually layering so many corpses in the river that they made a bridge the monsters could cross among their defeated comrades. In honor of this momentous escapade, the hamlet was rebuilt and named Demonbreu so that the settlement could honor the legacy of Lord Rogan Holdenhome forevermore with its namesake.

Eustace Blackthorne

Bedivere Blackthorne (brother)

Penelope Blackthorne (sister)

Geraint Blackthorne (brother)

Brother **Eustace** is the firstborn son of Sir Roderic Blackthorne and Lady Briona Manford. As their first child he was the heir to the Riverford and could have been one of the most powerful political figures in the realm; however, he renounced all his titles and took voluntary exile from his family in order to become a priest. He currently resides in Everglow City where he charitably helps the poor and needy as part of his priestly duties.
House Karhall

**The ancient and most noble House of Karhall** are among the most loyal, as well as the oldest, of the Blackthorne bannermen. They are unique among the houses of the West as they are not descended from Stormlords but rather from a group of Brecilidian High Elves who were granted lands as part of a peace treaty. They hold the island of Frostfall to the far north, a frozen land fraught with cold lakes and quarries from which the family draws their fortune. Following the fall of the Brecilidian Reach in 629AE, many Elven nobles sought refuge at Frostfall, leaving a strong High Elven influence on the House's current state. Their seat is Frostfall Keep, and they blazon their arms with a hundred silver snowflakes patterned against a violet field. Their lady is Shiera, firstborn daughter of Gawen, and her firstborn son Desmond is her heir apparent.

When King Jaster I was coronated in 1015AE, Shiera was one of those who chose to turn against him, helping to start the Aradian Civil War. The Karhalls were on the losing side, and when Shiera died, their ancient line ended. Dominion over Frostfall keep was given to Ser Arianne Wildthorne who still holds it as of 1086AE.

Desmond died during the Final Battle for Everglow City and his mother was executed by Princess Valoria Blackthorne in 1036AE for her part in the Aradian Civil War. Never a very populous House, the line of the Karhalls ended, and their holdings (including Frostfall keep) were given to the crown's warmaster Ser Arianne Wildthorne to rule as her own.
Aislinn Corcoran

Aislinn in 1014AE

Victoria Knox (daughter)

Jaster Worcester (son)

Odysseus Knox (grandson)

Ethan Blackthorne (grandson)

Gwenavere Blackthorne (granddaughter)

Sinead Corcoran (granddaughter)

Married to Willem Worcester (1029-1051)

Lady **Aislinn Corcoran** was the matriarch of House Corcoran from 1022 to 1075AE. She was the only child of "The Old Lion" Sir Barra Corcoran, inheriting rulership of the family following the death of her uncle Aloysius in 1022AE. In her youth she was married to two sons of Oswald Knox; first his thirdborn Preston, and after his death, the secondborn son Nestor--she had a daughter with the latter, who she named Victoria Knox. Mistreated in both marriages, Aislinn became a hard-boiled political figure in later life, controlling a high stake in House Knox through her daughter with Nestor. She married for a third and final time to Willem Worcester in 1029AE, and they had a son together. After her passing during the Red Death, control of House Corcoran passed to Aislinn's granddaughter Sinead Corcoran, who took the surname Corcoran in her honor. Aislinn was friends with Talia Blackthorne, Ameline Rookwood and Lucy MacNair in her youth. She had a rapport with James Umbridge, and was also known to have a possible romantic link to King Jaster Blackthorne--it is speculated the latter may have chosen her as his queen if things had worked out differently. Through her daughter Victoria's marriage to King Gordon Blackthorne, Aislinn eventually ended up with a connection to the Blackthorne royals through her grandchildren Ethan and Gwen.
Gwynneth Fairbairn

Gwynneth Fairbairn was a commoner raised in a group home in Westgate. She was always uncertain of her parents' identities. The name 'Fairbairn' was given to her so people would understand her unknown heritage even as a commoner.

Early on in her childhood she got a job as a chambermaid to House Umbridge. A childhood that would get cut short rather abruptly by the fascinations of Arthur Umbridge. He forced a child upon her when she was fourteen.

Arthur died the year following the birth of James, his son with Gwynneth. But the scandal was quickly discovered and the Umbridges took Gwynneth under their wing. Her bastard son was accepted into the family and even named heir in the wake of his father's death.

Gwynneth became a lady-in-waiting for Lady Margeret. As of the elderly woman's death in 1014, Gwynneth has taken over some of her duties although she has never been given a title.

She has never married and is not known to have lovers. Her relationship with her son seems sound, but she is such a meek, quiet little thing that hardly anyone even notices her.

Gwynneth is well-aware that if Harold Umbridge remarries and has a child, James will no longer be heir. After Lady Margeret's death, she even offered herself to Lord Umbridge. He made it abundantly clear if he were to marry again, it would not be to some lowborn peasant. She hasn't broached the topic again.

There was news of her being pregnant a few months ago, with an unknown father, breaking the rumor that she does not take lovers. However the pregnancy never came to full term.
Angelique Piers †

Darius Heartstone (brother)

Lyron Piers (twin brother)

Serenity Piers (sister)

Angelique was born 995AE and died 1003AE at the young age of eight years old. She was daughter to Jacinta and Elsik Piers, and twin sister to Lyron Piers. She was the younger sister of Darius Heartstone and the older sister of Serenity Piers.

Angelique lived a good life between visiting her grandparents in Sylvie Isle and playing with her cousins in Caybourne. Her home life with her arguing parents and older brother wasn't so bright, however. She died due to a short and violent illness that she and several others of her family fell victim to in Sylvie Isle while visiting the grandparents. She was cremated and has ashes in the Ludlow Accord family crypt.
Lleran Arkon

Malak Arkon (brother)

Ovima Arkon (sister)

Vasilia Arkon (sister)

Dorvan Arkon (uncle)

Arabella Druun (daughter)

Nerys Druun (daughter)

Fareeha Druun (daughter)

Valar Druun (son)

**Lleran Arkon** is the youngest and least favored son of Lord Kor Arkon by his partner Dargas. In his youth, Lleran was a craven lickspittle, constantly trying to win the affections of his father and uncle and to climb the ladder of power within his family. When his father suffered a downfall, Lleran shared in the disgrace. He was married to an Arkon household knight, Valarya Druun, and together they moved into the watchtower of Vastii-Derada. Lleran had four children by his wife but stayed steadfastly loyal to his forefathers. When Valarya refused to obey orders during a conflict with House Blackthorne, Lleran preemptively acted on his father's behalf and killed both his wife and three of his daughters. His son Valar escaped his clutches, ironically going on to serve the Blackthornes. Lleran's wife severely wounded him in the fight, and although his skill as a warlock eventually overcame them, it was only the intervention of his father that saved his life. Lleran's remains were used in an experiment to bind glass demon armor to a terrestrial body; the cursed dark metal became a part of him, replacing his severed mouth, left arm and organs. Barely any of Lleran's mind survived the transfusion. He is now a silent, deformed, mindlessly obedient servant of his family's will, using his skills in combat magic to aid in his uncle Dorvan's schemes.
Century Spat.

The **Century Spat** was the pejorative name given to the hundred-year-long war of succession between the Great Aradian Houses of Knox and Blackthorne, ranging roughly from the year 656AE to around 750AE. Its instigating incident was the death of Lady-Reignant Jayne Blackthorne; though she had promised her son Bellerophon Knox that he would succeed her as Lord, the Western bannermen instead named the hitherto-unheard-of Jasper Blackthorne as their new leader. The Knox attempts to assert control over House Blackthorne, and the Thunderlands by extension, resulted in a long blood feud that still has ramifications up to the 1077 Revolution.

Its primary stages of conflict were the disputed lands of Brecilidia, the Midlands, the Marshlands and the Deadlands.
Gyles Blackthorne

Arthur Blackthorne(son of Jacques)

Lucas Blackthorne (son)

Malcolm Blackthorne (nephew)

**Gyles Blackthorne** was the second-born son of Jacques Blackthorne and his wife Hadriana Hassarath. His elder brother was Arthur Blackthorne, the Third Lord of House Blackthorne; his nephew through Arthur was Malcolm, the Fourth Lord; and his own son, Lucas, was the Fifth. Gyles is notable for being the first elected Hand in the history of the family, assuming the position after his brother died in 382AE. From infancy, Gyles had always been a pragmatic and logical individual, greatly enamored with arithmetic and literature. His gaunt frame made him a poor warrior, and he would frequently shy away from the practice field in order to spend time in the libraries and archives in Griffin's Peak. As his nephew was only 14 when he ascended to power, it was judged that Gyles' academic ability would be put to good use in an advisary capacity to the young lord. Gyles took the offered position a step further and became both a regent and mentor to his nephew. By the time Gyles had passed away from consumption in the winter of 399AE, he had passed all he'd learned to Malcolm, who used the knowledge well as the Good Griffin.

Gyles was in a loveless marriage with Hieronymus Rookwood's only daughter Anja. It was said he was intimidated by the girl and spent most of the time that he should have spent sharing her bed in the library instead. Nonetheless, they managed to have a child; Anja died delivering their son Lucas, who would grow to become the infamous Usuper Griffin.
Ameline Rookwood

Amie in 1014AE

Siegfried Rookwood (cousin)

Caradoc Rookwood (son)

Talia Rookwood (daughter)

Valar Rookwood (son)

Edmund Blackthorne (grandson)

Daria Bay (great-granddaughter)

Lady **Ameline Rookwood** is the only daughter of Sir Sebastian Rookwood and his wife Priscilla Holloway. She is a cousin of Lord Siegfried, head of House Rookwood. Ameline is a childhood friend of Talia Blackthorne; she spent some time fostered at Griffin's Peak when she was 14, where the two were schooled in ladies' etiquette. Ameline has somewhat of a dolorous and pessimistic temperament, particularly after her mother's death of fever and her father's disappearance (he accompanied Bedivere Blackthorne to the Untamed Isle and was never seen again). She has a pale complexion and pitch-black hair that she often ties into two buns; her bright hazel eyes are said to be the only color in her otherwise long, grim face. In 1015AE, Ameline currently attends Talia as a lady-in-waiting at Everglow City.

Ameline inherited the leadership of the Rookwoods following the death of her cousin, as he had no progeny. She married Indoril Druun, and had three children with him; Caradoc, born 1021AE. Talia, born 1024AE. And Valar, born 1027AE. Amie was considered an able ruler, though her eldest son was a prodigy that quickly eclipsed her. A widow since 1028AE, she maintained a lachrymose manner for most of her life, famed for her black lace dresses and elaborate dark eyepaint. Upon a visit to Bastion City in 1059AE, she was struck with a sudden illness, coughing up blood; healers and even Queen Talia were unable to intervene and she died of a consumption weeks later. Her operations were swiftly taken over by the increasingly prolific Caradoc.
Bors Blackthorne

Bors circa 1076AE

Gaheris Blackthorne (twin brother)

2 Sisters

1 Bastard Son

4 Bastard Daughters (Lucabelle, Amy)

Jason Blackthorne II (grandson)

Sir **Bors Blackthorne** was a knight of House Blackthorne who lived and fought in the time of the Century Spat. His elder twin brother was Lord Gaheris, and his father was Lord Jasper. Bors is considered to be the single greatest swordsman that the Blackthorne family ever produced, and indeed one of the greatest to ever live in the histories of the isles of Aradia. He was feared by enemy Knox soldiers for his disfigured "one-eyed" appearance as well as his unstoppable melee capability; it is estimated that Bors was single-handedly responsible for the execution of nearly a thousand opponents in his short life, and thanks to a mind as keen as his blades, he never lost a single battle when he was placed in charge of the family's armies.

Bors died to Knox assassins in 670AE, aged only 28. He had several baseborn children throughout his life, two of which were his daughter Lucabelle and Amy; by his wife, Mikasa Iro-Paras, he had a single trueborn son named Donalbain. It was the latter's son Jason Blackthorne II who would inherit the Lordship after the death of Bors' twin Gaheris . The modern male line of House Blackthorne, directly down to the God-Emperor, is thus descended from the One-Eyed Griffin.

## Trivia

Much of Bors' character is unashamedly lifted from the ASOIAF character Aemond Targaryen, though these ideas were stolen before the House Of The Dragon show popularized the character and Aemond was thus a relatively-unknown footnote of GRRM's lore at the time of Bors' creation.
Athilde Mae Morvala

BLURB

## **Relationships**

### **Romantic**

* Rufuri Relvingold (Abuser) - Initially Mae's bodyguard and trainer, Rufuri turned their master-student relationship into something more sinister. When she was 14 years old, in 1064, Rufuri became 'romantic' with her and started warping her perception of a healthy relationship - although he started grooming her far earlier. By age 15 she lost her virginity. Rufuri's manipulation was only discovered in 1066 by Saki, who exacted justice alongside Garin and Alexi and became Mae's new bodyguard and trainer after Rufuri's death. Due to this relationship, Mae still hasn't had a healthy romantic relationship and has shied away from romance and sex.
Izabella Rodin

Izabella's story is a tragic one. Born in 392 to Lord Vedran Rodin III and his wife, she was the younger sister of the Rodin heir, Maddock. When she and her family were attacked by bandits, she was the only one that escaped alive - but not unscathed. She didn't know which bandit was the father, nor could she identify the bandits, but the result of the attack was a pregnancy and ladyship.

Her twice-great uncle began jostling for her position. Over time, it became clear to her that attempts at her claim had been going on for years without her knowledge. Finally after years of growing suspicion, it was confirmed - the bandits had been an assortment of her uncle's men and even some of her cousins, intent on murdering her family. Nobody had expected her to escape.

As she didn't accuse anyone nor have proper recollection of the event, her extended family got away with their crimes.

She finally admitted to her only son and heir, Jakov Rodin, that he might be not only the product of rape, but also of incest.

Jakov didn't take it well.
Council of 508AE

The **Council of 508AE** was a gathering of Western lords, bannermen, knights, retainers and financiers to decide upon the next Lord of House Blackthorne following the death of the imcumbent patriarch, Lamorak. This was because Lamorak's only son Galahad had died before his father, and he had no other apparent male heir; the line of succession was contested hotly by the Lord's daughters, his uncle, and a third figure within the Household. There were several candidates voted upon to assume control of the House, listed here in order of closeness to succession;

* Evaine Blackthorne was the eldest living child of Lamorak, and one of the She-Griffins Three. She had become a war leader of some renown over the long conflict with Brecilidia, and was supported by her mother the Widow Blackthorne as well as her younger sister Isolde and Ygraine. Aside from her gender she was seen as young, inexperienced, hot-headed and impetuous; many of the bannermen were not eager to see her take the lordship, as she was thirsty for Elven blood and it was feared she would only make the war worse.
* Larton Blackthorne was the uncle of Lamorak and the brother of the previous lord, Gerold. He had been serving as Hand of the House for many years, and was respected for his wisdom in matters of governance. However, he was also a quiet man, prone to spells of sickness, and had never earned a knighthood--causing him to be seen as weak. He was also quite old by the time of the council at 65 years with no wife and no heirs, and so the bannermen did not favor him.
* Hawley Blackthorne, another uncle, had been running a cadet branch of the family from the Whiteoak Plains for several years by the time of the council. He was content with his lot and formally passed on the opportunity to succeed his nephew at the council. After this his family took the name Hawthorne (from "Hawley's Blackthornes") to distinguish themselves as a separate family to the main branch.
* Morgyn Blackthorne was the secondborn son of Gerold's youngest brother Edric Blackthorne, who had died in a hunting accident long ago. A grizzled veteran of the brecilidian wars, he had no interest in taking leadership and also passed on the opporunity.
* The final contender was Allister Blackthorne. He was the grandson of Edric's elder son Guyard, who had died months before. Allister was a banker and financier as well as a knight. He promised the bannermen great riches and strong decisive leadership; and was a man, besides. The council agreed unanimously and the young man was made Lord.

The decision outraged some of the other candidates; the She-Griffins Three took their mother and immediately departed Stormrise Isle in a lather, while Larton muttered feeble protestations. Evaine would dip in and out of Blackthorne politics for the rest of her life, but Larton died only a year later in 509AE after spending a month coughing up blood. Allister and his line would go on to lead the family forward.
Annavelle Morvala

Annavelle the Precocious

A'Draak (Son)

Morvala the Mountain (Husband)

Annavelle was the beloved child of Al-Zehin the Inquisitor and Orako. She married Morvala after being heavily courted for her affections by the Northern King, of her own volition, and gave birth to A'Draak Morvala and enrolled him to study in the mainland. She was not a hard mother nor was she soft. She was a firm and gentle woman with love to spare and she shared her husband equally among his other wives. Unlike the status of the other two kings, Morvala treated his wives with respect and entrusted them in the management of the courts and other duties with offices for each of them to fulfill the operations of the Northern Kingdom.

Annavelle's skills in magic came in handy and she was on tasked with helping to implement Empire technologies inside Amora. When A'Draak died, he heart was broken and she mourned with her husband for three days and three nights silently in grief at the loss of their beloved child. She had not the as big a heart as her mountain, for he loved each of his children but she only cared truly for her one and only baby.

When Xankresh came against them in their final hours, Annavelle did not go quietly into the good night, she alongside the wives of Morvala stood up and faced oblivion together as a family. Each one a sister, and to all loyal to their lover. she Xankresh saw her his blood was boiled, as was hers.

He was the one who stole her precious A'Draak from her, and for that he paid dearly. He once only wore the eye around his neck, using its powers but being free form its control. she pierced his left eye with her magic and she greeted the upturned blade in that same moment. Gleeful at the sound of that oaf suffering for what evil he had wrought.

Annavelle is remembered by her father and her son, who knew her to be a warm and welcome figure in his life whenever he would come back to stay at home. She had a habit of reading to him for hours on end all the most glorious stories of the old heroes and their tales. He would rest in her lap and be steadily set to slumber by the silk of her voice, and the warmth of her love.
Guyard Blackthorne

Guyard circa 498AE

Allister Blackthorne (son)

Sir **Guyard Blackthorne** was the eldest son of Sir Edric Blackthorne, and a nephew of Lord Gerold Blackthorne. Despite a merely adequate skill at arms, he displayed a talent with the handling of coin, and was thus deployed to the colony known as the Gilded Isle to oversee Blackthorne operations. While there he married Callista, a daughter of a local merchant, and they had a son named Allister together. Guyard taught Allister extensively and had him recieve the highest standard of education available, impressing upon the boy the value of the House's monetary goals as the way of the future, as opposed to martial pursuits. Allister would later put these to considerable use following the Council of 508AE; Guyard did not live to see his son's ascent to lordship, however, as he died of Azure Fever earlier that same year.
Dironthir

Dironthir is a 278-year-old Wood Elf hailing from Shatterlight Coven in the Wilds. He is a spy working for Metheryl Arcaena, the High Enchantress of his order.

His natural form, he stands at 6'0", weighs 157 lbs, has light chestnut hair, silver eyes, very broad shoulders but a slim body.

For the past 70 or so years, Dironthir has been masquerading as his fictional High Elf character: Sir Anaeyl Olajar, a nobleman who serves the Senate. Prior to that, he has acted as other characters around Everglow, Briochi, and even Solstheim.

He is valued as a spy for being dedicated to long-haul operations, spending years, if not decades, to create the perfect front. His magic specialty is in shape-shifting. He used to partner with a memory-mage, Merethonna, until her death while investigating the Untamed Isles.

### **Sir Anaeyl Olajar** *(Everglow City Nobleman, 941 AE - Present)*

Anaeyl looks similar to Dironthir, but not so much that they could be mistaken for each other. His eyes are blue, his hair golden, and stands at 6'3".

While partnered with Merethonna, Dironthir arranged to have documentation at an orphanage arranged. Merethonna placed vague memories of a young Anaeyl in the minds of the caretakers there.

Dironthir has created Anaeyl from scratch, building him up as what High Elves would have previously called a Low Elf due to his destitute status. He began in the Slums, selling rugs.

Three years into his character, he stepped in to stop another Slums merchant from ripping off a wealthy nobleman. The nobleman threw money at him in thanks. Anaeyl used the money to get into business with his rugs in the Bronze Way. Slowly over the next twenty years, he made his way up to the Golden Mile.

Thirty years in-character, Anaeyl had become a respected merchant in Everglow. He acquired an estate in the Golden Mile and 'gained' an interest in politics. He got access to the Senate through one of his newfound business partners and 'friends'. From then on, he would sit in on Senate proceedings, supporting a local lord (aforementioned 'friend').

Maria Vale is the largest, most populated city in Caybourne. It is settled in a tropical valley a few miles west of the Ludlow Estate. If one is to look straight south from the Heartstone Estate, they will see Maria Vale.

It is well-known for its exotic fish, cocoa and licorice exports.

Maria Vale was founded in 974 AE by Keyair Heartstone. He acted as its Mayor until he died in 1012 AE.

To land at Maria Vale, one must be flying colors that will be given at the security checkpoint at Shelter. The colors must be returned upon leaving Caybourne.
Menagerie

Megalomaniac Elf Bitch with a potential god complex after deluding herself that her own father is a god and her destiny is to assume a role in his divine domination over Terros, namely keeping his world's avatar, her daughter, in line from the shadows. Founded the Divanist cult, been mortally wounded by Garin twice, but has impressive feats of self healing due to her heritage, super fucked up bitch who thinks that the way to victory is to be the puppet master. Has some 'master plan' to get everything she wants by fucking over everyone else, and this plan gets thrown into action once Divankul dies and the world drops into chaos as this seems to light a fire on a powder keg of issues everywhere.

All in all, she's going to be a pain in everyone's ass, and be a very deadly opponent to people who aren't named Garin.
House Piers

House Piers has never been of any particular import in the politics of Aradia. Although there are still living members, none are considered legitimate and thus, the house has all but died out. The Piers were originally high elves. The former house's assets were sold and alliances dissolved as of 931AE.

Darcy Piers bought back the Piers Estate, and remade his name, gaining the title of Lord. His motives are unknown, whether he reacquired his family's estate for comfort or in a bid for future power. There are rumors he is looking for a wife of elven blood.

Dagan Vennet

Born in 1029, Dagan is the elder son of Casim and Rivka Vennet. In 1051 he would become their murderer and be responsible for the death of his sister Gwenaelle's husband Rykzer and younger brother Vankul. Known across the Isles of Aradia as a kinslayer, Dagan dropped off the map after the failed usurpation of his mother's seat. Only in 1086 would he return to civilization, a changed man - and not for the better.
Amaranth

Permilla-Darvamiel Kaloblanca (daughter)

Amaranth is the only daughter of Vinxelle and an unknown father. She was born in 809 AE in Veroma. She has a single daughter, Permilla-Darvamiel Kaloblanca, also born to an unknown father.

## **Biography**

### Traveling the Isles

In 1013, while traveling the mainland of Aradia, Amaranth's caravan was beset by bandits. Although she fought them off to the best of her ability, she was knocked down in combat. However, before the bandits could entirely ravage her belongings, a small accompaniment of men and women burst from the forest and slew the bandits. Their lord was among them, Richard Holdenhome. She tried to compensate them with gold, but Lord Holdenhome would not have it.
She would spend several days at his keep in Homefast before going on her way.

When she later returned home to Veroma and told her mother of Lord Holdenhome's help, Vinxelle began a correspondence with the young lord, insisting on a reward. They finally came to an agreement that her son, Aegis, would deliver him the seeds of a rare flower - Fluxhart - grown in her nurseries.

By this time, in 1014, Amaranth had given birth to a child, also of unknown lineage like herself. During her travels, she had laid with many lovers and found herself unable to be certain of the true father - or so she claimed. The way she named her child suggests otherwise, with the meaning of her multiple names alluding to bees or honey.
Friend Quests

Three times per day, the strongest character from someone on your Friends list will appear in your house. Your *active character* can go on a two-person mission with him/her. Be careful to have your character of choice selected when you talk to the friend!

The missions give you a lot of gold, but they're difficult to complete in the allotted time. Completing earns you a little gold and *usually* a mid-quality item drop, but failing lets you keep the gold. Thus, if you want a lot of gold, it's best to use Kid with some gold bonuses, even if that means you fail the mission.

There is no entry fee and scrolls do not help. Helen's hat or Chiyome's counter-attack may be needed for you to finish the mission, but Kid's gold bonuses might be more useful--even if you fail the mission as a result. Choose wisely! (If your friend is using Helen with a high-rank hat or Kid with her farming gear, you got lucky!)

Your Friends list shows who you have adventured with during the week. You cannot adventure with the same friend twice, and if *they* adventure with *you* they are removed from your list of candidates. You receive 5 medals when a friend adventures with your character.

It might help your friends if you manipulate your squad to have Helen, Kid, Chiyome, or even Merlin as your strongest character. Many squads have Khan or Vincent as their strongest character, but these don't clear Friend missions very quickly.
Darlessa Dalman

Hendrik Dalman (Nephew)

Aunt of missing Hendrik Dalman, Darlessa currently owns and manages what is left of the Dalman estate. She has sold off much of the land, vineyards, and breweries that made up the lifeblood of the House as the years have passed.

The Dalman lands are so reduced that now the entirety of their holdings can be summed up to less than twenty acres.

Darlessa lives in the Dalman Manor on a stretch of land with a vineyard and winery.
Cok Vadan

The City-State of Cok Vadan has a long and troubling history, and for most of it's existence has been the trade capital of the Empire of Dusk before the dissolving of the Empire after the Arkon/Redoran war. Cok Vadan was then cleared and sealed by high tier magic so that nobody could enter the ghost lands. However, the seals have been broken and the city hums with life, now as a thriving war machine preparing for an invasion into the former territories held by the Empire.

The main feature is it's gigantic docks, held entirely within a massive cavern at the base of the city, where ships can pass easily, but there can also be a great gate and shuts out the underbelly of the city in times of conflict. The water surrounding this area is notorious for quick currents that pull ships to their doom along the cliff side and monsters below the water surface. Entering into the cavern brings you into a giant warehouse district that is always in constant trade and hustle, despite the fact that Cok Vadan is not recognized by the Drow Alliance as a free state there are many fiefdoms that trade freely due to the low taxes and the huge demand the state calls for in every resource.

Most people don't realize that they're fueling a war effort, rather they believe it's for colonial expansion due to the rather scarce common knowledge of Drow and their long history. Others simply don't give a damn, and trade openly simply for the fact that coin is coin and they want to get while the getting is good. Thanks to the abundance of good flowing into the city and coin pouring out, those left of the Drow Alliance will soon begin making moves to silence Cok Vadan before it can spread its evil.

The entire territory is held under the rule of Arkon, an ancient elven family that suddenly reappeared to reclaim their city with a massive army. Those that wish to are welcomed into the ranks of the new army and are currently being trained. The drow bannermen are rallying back to Cok Vadan with their emissaries in tow to reclaim their rightful rulers. Only the descendants of Xankresh Avani and the Mabusa Clan are without influence.

The rest of the territory is a maze like system of white stone towers and low buildings filled to the brim with merchants, smithies, and barracks. Buildings have been re-purposed for massive storage and the entire area acts like a well oiled military fortress. Long since shaking off it's historical roll in favor of a new one.
Hawley Blackthorne

Hawley faces the infamous Whiteoak Cocaktrice

Saviour of the Whiteoak Plains

Larton Blackthorne (brother)

Edric Blackthorne (brother)

Jason Hawthorne (son)

at least 1 other son and 1 daughter

Harris Hawthorne (great-grandson)

House Hawthorne (descendants)

Sir **Hawley Blackthorne**, later in life named as Lord **Hawley Hawthorne**, was the thirdborn son of Lancelot Blackthorne and the founder of that household's cadet branch. Hawley was an accomplished questing knight, famous for slaying the vicious Cockatrice that had been plaguing the Whiteoak Plains for years. The local populace were boundlessly grateful to Hawley for this and he was soon given dominion over the lands as their lord. His children were name as Hawley's Blackthornes, and after their father passed over mainline Blackthorne succession at the Council of 508AE, they became House Hawthorne.

He was married to a vinyard heiress of House Dalman named Diana. They had a son, Jason, named for the founder of the Blackthornes; they had at least one other son and a daughter also.
Arthur the Grey

Arthur as he appeared during the colonization of The Thunderlands

At least a dozen trueborn sons

Balthazar of the Black Thorne (bastard son)

Thormund the Bold (direct male descendant)

King Arthur II of the Storm's Rise (direct male descendant)

**Arthur the Grey** was the first High King of the Thunderlands, He was the leader of a group of early-human spellcasters the Grey Folk who voyaged into the stormy western islands and colonized them, subjugating the native Wood Elf and Dwarf populace. In so doing, Arthur would often claim native women as "prizes of war;" from a fishing village shaman on Stormrise Isle he sired the bastard son that would come to be known as Balthazar of the Black Thorn.

Much of the exact details of Arthur's life is shrouded in mystery. He had the look of a Human but may have been hundreds of years old at the time of the colonization, might even have been one of the first examples of that race as some records suggest his father was a dwarf and mother was a high elf. He had powerful magical abilities that may have been druidic in origin, and was likely a sorcerer as he passed some degree of that capability down to his many sons from his numerous wives.

Arthur spurned Balthazar, who was later likely the one who killed him in an act of revenge. His descendant, also named Arthur, took the throne after him with Balthazar as his advisor; Balthazar's divinely-granted terrmanatic powers allowed the colonizers to flourish and overtake the entire territory through use of nature magic and chimeras.
House Dalman

House Dalman is known for its vineyards and agricultural estate spanning many acres to the west of Everglow City. Some of the finest human-brewed wine flowing
through the area is from the Dalmans' estate. They own a small village named Kiradene which houses much of their workforce.

As of 1086 much of their land now belongs to House Piers.
