Lady Amarika of the Ludlow Accord was born 972AE to parents Keyair Heartstone and Celia Heartstone. She was their second daughter and was married to Mancel Ludlow. She had five children with him: Claire Ludlow, Jennifer Ludlow, (twins) Casim Ludlow, Aimee Ludlow and Eason Ludlow. She would have been mother to another set of twins if not for her death.

She was a much-loved member of the ruling house of Caybourne, well-respected and known for her charity.

**1014 AE, Last Moon** - Amarika was murdered by a shapeshifter who took the form of her daughter Jennifer (murdered only moments earlier). She was pregnant at the time with twins too young to be identified by gender.

## Notes on Writing this Character

### General

* A compassionate, loving mother and wife.
* Very insightful when it came to politics.
* Mancel's rock.
* Had she and her babies not died, she would have had identical twin sons.

### Fashion

* The public and nobility of Aradia remembered her often in long flowing dresses with light transparent shawls in pastel colors.
* While traveling, Amarika wore men's clothing to be more mobile in case of an attack or falling overboard, like most female members of the Ludlow Accord. However, she couldn't resist adding her shawls to her ensemble.

### Drugs & Alcohol

* Utterly despises drug use.
* When not pregnant, a glass of wine at dinner each night was fairly common.

### Romance

> *“You can come to love this man. And there are other things in life to become passionate about, even if your marriage does not fill you with that. I was one of the lucky ones. But even if you do feel true passion for this man, do not be surprised if it ebbs and flows. That’s life. And that’s love.”*

* Betrothed to Mancel Ludlow since infancy. They married when she was fifteen and he thirty but did not consummate the marriage for some time as they grew into their new roles with each other.
* Understands power comes before love in the world of nobility. Is thankful she and Mancel found both.
Hendrik Dalman

Darlessa Dalman (Aunt)

Born in 1001, there are many rumors on the fate of young heir Hendrick Dalman.

His family were known for their 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.

His father was the youngest of several boys, all of which died in some manner before they could produce an heir. By his fifties in 982, Calimar Dalman received the lordship - a position he had not wanted or prepared for.

His father didn't marry until he was in his sixties, supposedly in some last-ditch effort to produce an heir. It wasn't until he was in his seventies that his younger wife finally gave him a child - Hendrick. She died shortly after the birthing from complications.

In 1006, five-year-old Hendrick Dalman was kidnapped by the Ghost of the Sorrows. There was much speculation on whether or not he really was as the sightings were fleeting, the reports sketchy, and Calimar Dalman strangely stoic in the face of his only heir's disappearance.

Calimar died in 1013 from old age, his younger sister (and last known Dalman other than Hendrik) taking the estate - Darlessa Dalman.

There are many rumors involving the kidnapping of the Dalman Heir. Some firmly believe it was the Ghost of the Sorrows. Others believe Calimar accidentally killed his own child and covered up the murder. While others believe it may have been a ploy by Darlessa to claim her family's wealth. Seeing as she is childless, this scenario is deemed most unlikely. Yet others believe a competing household took the initiative and cut the head from their opponent.

Hendrik's location is still unknown to this day, but some are optimistic he still lives.
Aimee Ludlow

Claire Ludlow (sister)

Jennifer Ludlow (sister)

Casim Ludlow (brother)

Eason Ludlow (brother)

Heartstone Family

Aimee was born in 1005AE to Mancel Ludlow and Amarika Ludlow.

Blind from birth, Aimee experienced synaesthesia and therefore fell deeply in love with music. She credits her great talent to this condition. She played many different instruments but was most interested in the harpiscord and flute.

The murder of her mother and sister in 1014AE (at 9 years old) shook her greatly.

After the death of her husband Jason in 1052, Aimee allowed a year of mourning before returning to her music tours. She left her two trueborn children to be raised by servants in Caybourne.

* 1005 (16th of Herald's Moon) - Aimee Ludlow is born.
* 1023 - Aimee begins touring.
* 1031 (10th of Soldier's Moon) - Aimee had an affair with Saki and the result was Amarika "Amy" Holmes
* 1036 (22nd of Lover's Moon) - Aimee marries Jason Lennon of Caybourne.
* 1043 (7th of Herald's Moon) - Aimee names her firstborn son with Jason Lennon "Paris" after her mentor (Paris Lennon is the father of "Fat Talia").
* 1046 - Aimee pauses touring, living safely in Caybourne to raise her child and avoid the fighting of The Pirate War.
* 1051 (13th of Lady's Moon) - Aimee gives birth to Mira Lennon (who later marries Claire and Carnda's son Keyair and is the mother of Sebastien and Lucienne).
* 1052 (16th of Drake's Moon) - Jason Lennon dies age 44 during the Pirate War.
* 1053 - Aimee begins touring again, leaving her children in the care of servants back in Caybourne.
* 1056 (5th of Lady's Moon) - Paris Kalani dies of old age.

Since reaching her 50s, Aimee grew more and more jealous of other musicians and constantly felt like she was losing relevance. She had never really put much thought into her physical attractiveness as an entertainer prior to motherhood and the Pirate War, but now she felt she was missing that vital edge. So she only entertained high-brow customers, catering to a certain 'class' of people who would enjoy true classical music played by a successful noblewoman with years of musical prowess behind her.

Sir **Geralt Warthorne** is the head of House Warthorne, the former Knight of Nchurdamz and currently the Castellan of Griffin's Peak.
House Alion

No idea what they do, but they're the maternal lineage of Rivka Vennet, probably oversees something beside the timber and quarry work that Biochi and its branch family work over, isolated from a lot of Mok-Surial they may produce exotic goods that mostly remain within the region. They have a rather large amount fo land allotted to them comparable to the size of their household, and are a favored people to more Surials-to the point an Alion was voted in as the head of state. They are a fair and just people.

Dinth Vennet
Makai Arkon

Makai's power unleashed

Kor Arkon (Uncle)

Kurik Arkon (Brother)

Vosal Arkon (Brother)

Zani Arkon (Sister)

Makai is the second of the children born of Ornia Arkon to Dorvan Arkon. He also happens to be the unluckiest as he was tricked into wielding a set of weapons that would eventually tear him apart in attempting to consume his body. One is the Mace of the Elder Fang, an artifact stolen form a group of spiders very deep into the Wild-a place humans and the void had never set foot in before. Naturally the artifact was more than it seemed and so Makai was used as an experiment.

The artifact will slowly turn it's user into a vessel of the spider tribe's vengeance, eventually destroying the wielder and using the host to kill the original thief and bring back their precious item. The Mace bestows a powerful natural magic in kind to destroy those who stand against. It burns the skin, poisons the blood, and drives the weak willed insane. Luckily Makai has the traits of a warrior and withstands the encroaching darkness with stoic resilience. At least he used to.

The second object is the Sorrows Edge, an ancient Drow weapon used by one of Dul-Sansiska's sons, when matched with it's bracer the blade gifts an aura of dusk and still waters. which is to say the subjugating might that ancient elves once held. Over time the blade has become far more devious than it's original design was meant for and tears at the very soul of the user. Typically it would obliterate those who would dare to wield it and was guarded by a priesthood in Maiden's Shield. Well Dorvan stole it when he stole Ornia, and kept it safe in hsi kingdom, perverting it's power to suit his ambition before tricking his son once more into using the power.

Now Makai is cursed by two artifacts of great power in a war over his body and soul. One that can destroy the body and mind of those who stand in his way and the other that will allow him to subjugate and command. However he resents his father for these tricks and only serves him until he can move to destroy Dorvan himself.

His resolve has faded with time, and earned him the name of the Screaming Fang for his howls of pain and frustration in combat.
Anest Mugflayer

*"He killed my parents. He removed my cultural identity. So I removed that which identified him. His face. That's why they call me Mugflayer."*

Anest was born in 953 AE, in Avamor to dwarven parents. She doesn't remember them well as they were both killed in an accident when she was five years old. She was adopted by Barik the Quiet in 958 AE, a common elf known for his manipulative ways. He was the husband of Niniri Notusi, a cousin to the Notusi clan.

From a hideously young age, she was taught to kill. For eight years, she spent her waking hours training for a sole purpose: murder.

So when it was finally revealed Barik had killed her parents to gain access to her, as some cruel joke on the dwarven community of Avamor, it was no surprise that she took off his face with an ornamental battleaxe.

Of course Niniri tried to kill her in retaliation, but thankfully there was evidence of Barik's scheming which a Notusi agent provided. Anest was given two choices - continue her training under the Notusi, or leave Avamor. She chose the latter, disgusted with the betrayal of what she thought was her people.

Keyair Heartstone caught wind of the whole affair and met her at the docks, offering her a position with his crew. He made some jokes about diversity and how she was a woman that could defend herself, but leveled with her and admitted he had an old dwarven cook that had heard of her plight and wanted to help. She needed a ride anyway, so agreed.

This old cook was named Hurgnar Vaultmak. Not only was he the cook, but he made do fixing weaponry when the ship was between ports. He helped Anest learn how to smith like the old dwarven masters. She aided him with cooking for the crew in return.

Unforunately Hurgnar died to old age in 968 AE. Anest took over his responsibilities until 973 AE when Caybourne was colonized.

Keyair Heartstone offered her a position as a blacksmith at the Heartstone Estate, which she gladly accepted. But despite having settled down in a servant role, smithing her days away or working as a handyman, she can still kill alongside the best of the Notusi.

She is known to have a crush on Mancel Ludlow, having made several comments on him throughout the years - even when he was young, claiming he had to be of dwarven stock with such a broad chest and shoulders.
Jonathan Mossgrove, Fire Saber of Shelter

A studious swordmage and a captain in the Accord Navy, defected to piracy when he saw the brutality by which the Void Mage faction was dealt with during the mage conflict. A strong fighter, he ravaged the northern sorrows for a decade before the Pirate War even began, a devastating captain who was always one step ahead of both the Royal Navy's ships in the area, but also the Morvalan Navy as well. Mossgrove made his home port in the pirate friendly covers of Vadan, who welcomed in anyone who wished to made themselves at home provided they pay the taxes associated. Jonathan was as ruthless as a pirate can be, and he believed himself justified as a mage to strike out at the Accord for destroying the lives of a people, whether or not he believed what hey had to say about magic.

Because of this, while he avoids killing merchants and bystanders, he actively will hunt down military vessels who are unawares and brutally carry out his own form of justice. For his crimes, he was taken out in 1050 AE by Griff Holdenhome, who had managed to catch the pirate in an ambush and though half of Mossgrove's fleet could escape, he was forced to stay behind on his flagship, *The Sea Lion.* The two engaged in a fight, Jonathan's swordplay was in a good class, and his study over elemental fire made it so his steel could cut through just about anything, melting through or burning it with ease. This didn't deter Griff and the two continued to clash as the battle raged all around them, catching the Sea Lion on fire all over and forcing the pirates to jump overboard as it began to spread rapidly. Griff managed to disarm the pirate captain, and deck him hard in the gut so he could be captured and stand trial.

At Jonathan's trial, held in Caybourne, he was not permitted to speak unless via proxy appointed to him because there were fears he'd attempt to use the trial to martyr himself. This didn't deter him and her fervently attempted several times to speak out as his crimes were being listed, but each time Amy Holdenhome managed to force him into silence very easily via simple magic spells. By the end, Johnathan and all surviving crew were sentenced to hang until death. his execution was carried out quite swiftly and he was mourned by noone.
House Ormana

House Ormana represents the money grabbing side of the Drow the best, and is quite stereotypical and very like how the public would view drow without knowing of their culture and heritage. They are greedy and heartless business men and women who command their subjects harshly, keeping them working the dangerous ice fields of the Frozen Wastes.

House Ormana had a very lucrative business model of using the harsh permafrost are a cooling agent to sell to other races who live din hotter climates, help shipping services better maintain supplies and product, and just keep everything working well. Their workers are known for being frostbitten and numb, turning a sickly shade of deep blue when their skin would typically be much more gray, a side effect of the hellish landscape and exposure to Tundra Drakes.

Since leaving Dul-Sansiska to reclaim their role as a servile house under Arkon's ruling, their business has ceased with the races of Aradia nd they have begun new productive measures. They are the most experienced winter combatants of the Drow Houses, and are rumored to have been of those elves who could survive the Spreadings intense cold or stand up to the blistering magic that some elves hold over the deep cold.

Their soldiers are built for winter-based combat, using camouflage and ambush techniques best and being able to track down anyone in a frozen region. When it comes to being unseen in the snow- these are the best, they will typically use bows and arrows laced in Brightfrost venom, or javelins laced in the same compound to avoid direct combat.
Magic Uprising in Caybourne

1037

Wound at Westgate

✞ = Died During

## Rough Idea (Needs Cleaning up):

Brewing tensions last for some time between these two sects of mages. Need names for their organizations. One side believes the Void's evil was worth it to have magic flow freely and easily. The other side believes nothing is worth the evil of the Void and that hard work and perseverance in study will eventually result in strong magic-users again. Then the petty fighting begins. A few bar brawls. Guards deal with it all right. Then it's a gang war on the streets and the military comes in. The organizations gather more followers, hideouts pop up, it becomes harder for the military to organize against them. Some of the common people feel the military presence is dictating. Unrest. Rumors start to abound that the leader of the Pro-Void group has access to manuscripts that detail how to open the Void.

those rumors probably urged the monarch into genuine action. sent Val (and maybe Ari) with a detachment of troops to shut them all down

Which led to more violence, and some misconceptions about the monarchy being against magic-users other than themself having power(edited) [...]

i'll likely include young Jaster Monmoth in it too. i think i can use this as the framework for the first falling-out between Ari and Val. what eventually led to Val becoming Ari's failed "dark-side" student

The leader tricks the military, troops, and the opposing side into thinking he will be somewhere trying to replicate a ritual in Caybourne, but instead he shows up in Westgate and begins the ritual. The Pro-Study group combines forces with the military and troops and they head to Westgate to try and stop the Pro-Void leader. When they arrive, Val witnesses a woman slaughter the Pro-Void leader as his ritual is about to end/nearly-succeed. Temprance introduces herself to Val and apologizes she had to come all that way to see a sack of shit crumple. Or epic battle against Pro-Void's mages at the ritual site and Temprance kills the Pro-Void leader.

i need Val to do...a war crime™

[...]

Ari: "wtf when people surrender you accept and take them prisoner, now why should anyone trust us?"

Val: "Im going to be queen. I can do whatever I want."

Ari: *ALARM BELLS*

[...]

After Val's execution of the Pro-Voiders, The Accord funded a magic school somewhere in Caybourne - to prove they weren't against magic users, and to instead encourage 'educated' magical study rather than ritualistic blood shit like the Voiders.

Uhh, Eason was fairly new into his rule over the Accord at this point, so he likely wouldn't have challenged Val over the execution of those people. But he brought it up with the monarch later and stated if Val did something like that again with his citizens, criminals or not, they would have issues.

Pro-Study leader may have been awarded the position of the headmaster of the school
Edwyle Blackthorne

Adora Blackthorne (half-sister)

Indira Blackthorne (half-sister)

Eraena Blackthorne (half-sister)

Giacomo Blackthorne (half-brother)

Edwyck West (son)

**Edwyle Blackthorne** is the secondborn son of Pellinore Blackthorne by his fourth wife, Aurelia Pentaghast. He serves as the first Master of Coldharbor, a mayor-for-life position where he oversees trade operations in the city, and also as Coinmaster on the Blackthorne Council--though the latter office has become moot as its duties are mainly carried out by his nephew, Dominic. Edwyle is past 60 and is the eldest living member of House Blackthorne. He has a distinctive appearance, with an omnipresent monocle and long friendly mutton chops; he has a hunched posture and walks with a cane, and this, coupled with a ravenfeather cloak, that makes his great-niece Talia think he resembles a great, overgrown crow. Edwyle's age has made him weak and senile; his speech is meandering and long-winded, often inducing impatience from those around him. Edwyle has never married and has only a single child, Edwyck West, a bastard sired from a Coldharbor prostitute.
House Asgar

Seafaring merchants and lovers of the drow, they pioneered the interracial marriages that are now commonplace in drow-briochi society and have provided so much as merchants and outspoken lovers of peace that they had a city named after their house in Relic-Asgar. They're the major trading partners for most who wish to deal with briochi and have been loyal vassals since the founding of the region.
Lillith Arkon

Lillith Arkon is the third child of Arkon, known to be exceptionally moody with long bouts of depression and anxieties. Despite this handicap she has a brilliant mind for understanding enchantments, as well as a literal silver tongue she designed herself. Those that fall under its spell are forcibly altered to do whatever she should ask of them within reason. However those with high mental strength are able to resist such incursions. Because of this she is in charge of ensuring allied cooperation, while physically weak, she has written ancient elvish scripts to her body to allow her quick access to ritual level spells.

Beyond that, her daughter, Noramel Arkon, is her body guard and has freakish levels of strength, comparative to a red orc by some accounts. Lillith is seen as one of the Generals of Arkon and her depression and melancholy should not be mistaken for innocence.
Narn's Son

Narn's Son was and is the refuge for the Capital Elves and their Loyalists during and after the Spreading of Obscura as well as the ArkonxRedoran War. The Island still functions to this day as a head of it's own government, trying to grasp at the tendrils fo the Empire of Dusk remaining. Dorvan Arkon spent many years in Narn's Son's relative safety during the recovery period after the war alongside his family members. He seeks to grow outside of the power of the deteriorated Capital Elves lineage which still commands him to retake the fallen lands and to outright annihilate Xankresh Avani and his descendants so that his traitorous blood may never bear fruit again.

Narn's son in and of itself is a very prosperous northwestern island; consisting of old world buildings and ample farmland to which they enforce those under their ruling to cultivate for the families still in command. Most of them being humans who have neve rknwon anything but he Empire and have been tricked into thinking that all that lies outside of Narn's Son is murderous elven armies and rebellious men who would seek to butcher the whole lot of them. While they are subjugated they still enjoy a better than average life compared to what Everglowians and Westerners have to deal with at their station.

No men of Narn may take up arms, they are taught farming techniques and food production, as well as masonry, glass making, and other servil professions to which they are paid no money but instead provided three square meals, straw bedding, and bunk houses adjacent to their owner's housings. They are still slaves by all accounts, but the method of slavery has always been a point of conflict for Drow. Historically it's recounted they were worked to death under the Empire. However most surviving drow scholars of the late collapse era take note that most subjugation was simply that the Empire kept their populace stupid and enfeebled. Knowing only aggrarian practices or monument building, never education about how to maintain society.

All resident's of Narn's Son practice the Aradian faith, the Elves practice the Servant's of Aradia Faith, with the humans following the Children of Aradia faith and give thanks to their benefactors unaware of their imprisonment.
Lamorak Blackthorne

Galahad Blackthorne (son)

Evaine Blackthorne (daughter)

Isolde Blackthorne (daughter)

Ygraine Blackthorne (daughter)

Allister Blackthorne (cousin)

**Lamorak Blackthorne** was the only son of Gerold Blackthorne by his wife, the High Elf Shiera of Shanehollow. He served as Lord of **House Blackthorne** from the death of his father in 502AE until his own death in 508AE. His comparatively short reign was characterized by the first of many wars with the Brecilidian king Argiliac. During an early skirmish Lamorak was taken prisoner by High Elven forces after his ship Windraker had been sunk. Control of the House was assumed at by Lamorak's only son Sir Galahad Blackthorne who worked in tandem with Evaine the eldest of three daughters. Galahad's military prowess was considered legendary despite his young age, though many of his victories were owed to the military strategy of his capable sisters known as the She-Griffins Three. When Galahad died, aged only 17 in battle, Evaine wore his armor and led his troops into the field. The sight of the apparently resurrected Galahad terrified the Brecilidian forces and they retreated, granting the Blackthornes a decisive victory that helped them end the war with a stalemate. Lamorak himself caught a disease while in the dungeons which killed him despite the best efforts of his healers. A council was called to decide the new head of household, as Lamorak had no direct male heir but Evaine pressed her claim on the seat with strong support. However, instead of her or Lamorak's uncle Larton, it was their cousin Allister "The Golden Griffin" who ended up being selected as the next Lord. The She-Griffins Three left Stormrise in disgust with their mother; none of them had any trueborn children and so Lamorak's legacy ended with them.
Vincent

### Prologue

He is a mercenary hired for the war. He supported tons of weapons to arms dealers in the 1st battle with the Evil Overlord. He also supports weapons during the 2nd battle against the Evil Overlord.

## Skills

### Primary

**Outburst** - Fires a rifle and deals 58 damage.

### Skill

**Carpet Bombing** - Launches several missiles. (Lock On) 300% (x3-7) of basic damage.

### Ultimate

**Gigantic Weapon** - Summons a huge cannon. 1000% of basic damage.

### Passive

**Aim** - Fires an aimed shot at the closest enemy.

## Recruiting

### Price before unlocking

Php 420.00 / EUR 9.99

**Vincent** can only be unlocked by buying him with real money.

## Skill comparison

**Attack Skill**

* Vincent fires a few rockets which chase enemies. However, it seems they are easier to escape than Robyn's.
* This attack is similar to Robyn's. It fires one less projectile (on average) but the projectiles are stronger. When you craft weapon upgrades for Vincent, his projectiles increase in strength faster than Robyn's do.

**Ultimate skill**

* A big cannon fires a narrow fireball down the center of the screen, which travels a little bit as the squad walks.
* The attack deals above-average damage in one big hit to anything in its path.

**Passive skill**

* Vincent's attacks travel toward the nearest enemy instead of straight ahead.
* This is a little annoying during Adventure boss fights because he shoots the little enemies instead of the big boss. It is good for times when you are manually dodging projectiles, though.
* This is a great power in duels and a *fantastic* power in the Arena. It is the best power in the game for the Arena--you can shoot other players while they are shooting empty air.

## Game Mode Comparison

**Difficult Adventures or Challenges**

* Pros:
	+ The Skill and Ultimate are good for boss fights, although not excellent.
	+ Aim is nice when you are manually dodging.
* Cons:
	+ The Skill often hits little enemies instead of the boss.
	+ Normal attacks do not penetrate to hit multiple enemies.
	+ You probably gave Vincent anti-player items instead of anti-monster items.
* Overall value: **Average**

**Easy Adventures or Challenges (for farming, grinding, or daily quests)**

* Pros:
	+ The Skill and Ultimate do enough damage to help kill bosses quickly.
* Cons:
	+ Vincent does not clear away waves of weak enemies very well.
	+ You probably gave Vincent anti-player items instead of anti-monster items.
* Overall value: **Low**

**Duels**

* Pros:
	+ The Skill and the Passive are both *amazing* against enemy squads.
	+ The Ultimate does better damage than many other Ultimates, and it cannot partially miss.
* Cons:
	+ The Ultimate hits a narrow area, so sometimes it misses.
	+ Vincent's custom gear does not give Damage Bonus After Being Hit. He is very powerful with Clothes of Stars, but custom gear (like Khan's or Maxi's) would give higher bonuses.
* Overall value: **High**
Daxter Waynrite

Estelle Waynrite (sister)

Axl Waynrite (brother)

Jaxon Waynrite (brother)

Jenys Waynrite (nephew)

Jacques Blackthorne (nephew)

House Blakcthorne

**Daxter Waynrite** is the firstborn son and heir apparent of Lord Orys Waynrite. He is the eldest of the Waynrite triplets, with his younger brothers being Axl and Jaxon Waynrite. While his siblings are large, strong and able-bodied men, Daxter was born shrunken and twisted, with a hunchback and a clubfoot. This has caused him to be widely looked down upon in his family as well as society in general, and it is rumored he will be passed over to inherit the House when his father dies. The hardships he has suffered have made Daxter a bitter and resentful man with an extremely short temper and proclivity for violence. His disabilities force him to walk with a cane when he is not on horseback, but he is deceptively physically strong and fights as well when ahorse as any other man. Daxter is weighty and sour-smelling, with crooked teeth; his hair has thinned away almost completely, and he shares his father's weak chin, which he covers with a long goatee. Daxter wears the clean, bright armor of the Everglow City Guard. He frequently hides his ugly features with a hood when in public, which gives him a sinister appearance.

In 1014, Dominic Blackthorne ordered Daxter to burn the Marshlands. Here, he had an altercation with Arianne West, who stole some money, provisions and horses from him. Upon the death of Markus Barris, the Bloodhawk recalled Daxter to Everglow City to take the man's place as captain of the City Guard. Daxter has proved an effective tool in terrorizing the city's peasantry into obeying Lord Blackthorne's will.

### Title

Lord of the Great RiverfordLord-Paramount of the Midlands

### Died Out

1007 (male line only)

**The most noble** **House of Manford** is a relatively young institution, but one that has a storied history. The Great Riverford is a vast and valuable fortification based on the edge of Lake Tranquil where is forks out into 3 seperate rivers. These rivers are used to transport goods all over the mainland, making the central castle an invaluably bountiful trading post. It has been held by many families since its most recent reconstruction at the end of the First Demon Wars, with the Manfords being a merchant family that were granted the Riverford and its surrounding lands in the early 800s by the Everglow Senate. The Manfords were a large and fertile family and they held their position capably, until they ran afoul of Aron Blackthorne, the Red Griffin. House Blackthorne subjugated the Manfords and took charge of the Riverford for themselves, working to exterminate the entire family in the main line ever since. By 1014AE, after years of underhanded schemes and tactics, there is only one living member of House Manford; the Lady Briona. Her husband is Sir Roderic Blackthorne and all of her children, Eustace, Bedivere, Penelope and Geraint, have the Blackthorne name. When Briona dies, the Riverford will become a Blackthorne hold in earnest when her sons inherit it. House Manford is Lord-Paramount of the Midlands and has several lordly vassals, including House Wyatt, House Mannister and House Highcliffe.

In the Demon's Moon of 1014AE, the family faced the Massacre at the Riverford. Their castle was destroyed, Roderic slain, and all their smallfolk displaced to Everglow City. By 1015AE, the widowed Briona remains there with her two youngest children. Her eldest son Eustace serves as a priest to the Aradian Temple, and her second son (and heir apparent) Bedivere has voyaged to the untamed isle where he remains missing.
Daughter of the Sorrows

The Daughter of the Sorrows is a witch living in the slums of Aurlulent Quay in the Tropics. She has a two-room shack with a basement beneath, both of which she has conducted her unsavory business in for the past twenty-five years.

She is a practitioner of the dark arts and runs a fairly successful enterprise. She designs, creates and sells many dangerous magic items: Love potions, poisons, magical drugs, soul gems, magic-infused weaponry, and the like.

Despite the location of her home and the way she lives, she is well-off. However she remains in the slums to be more accessible to her shadier client base.

She wears a half-face mask to conceal her identity, and constantly wears dark robes and hoods. She avoids the wealthier parts of Aurlulent Quay unless she absolutely must source some parts or ingredients - and usually at night. She never delivers, always expecting her clients to pick-up.

She actively avoids the Sabres.

She is now the caregiver of the kidnapped lordling Eason Ludlow.

Claire Ludlow (sister)

Jennifer Ludlow (sister)

Casim Ludlow (brother)

Aimee Ludlow (sister)

The fifth child of Mancel Ludlow and Amarika Ludlow, Eason was born in 1011AE.

He spent most of his time between his mother and his older sister, Jennifer Ludlow prior to 1014AE. He loves the water and is constantly having to be kept a close watch on. A personal guard often accompanies him with the sole purpose of keeping a watchful eye due to the mischief he gets into.

However, that personal guard was of no use in 1014AE when a shapeshifter kidnapped him after assuming the form of Jennifer - whom the shifter had just killed along with his mother.

He is now in the care of the Daughter of the Sorrows, blissfully unaware of what exactly transpired. His hair has been dyed black to hide his identity.
Isolde Blackthorne

Galahad Blackthorne (brother)

Evaine Blackthorne (sister)

Ygraine Blackthorne (sister)

At least two baseborn daughters

House Blackthorne

Lady **Isolde Blackthorne** was the daughter of Lord Lamorak Blackthorne by his wife Morgwyna Monmoth. With her elder and younger sisters, she comprised the She-Griffins Three, who helped to run the Blackthorne war effort against Brecilidia. Isolde was considered the most intelligent of the sisters, with a prodigious knowledge of economics and histories that almost rivalled her cousin Allister. In addition to her academic skills, Isolde was a talented tactician in planning for battles. It was frequently rumoured that she had inherited the Blackthorne family's talent for sorcery, which would have branded her a Witch, but the accusations never took substantial root and she never faced opposition for them.

When the She-Griffins were pushed from power while Allister was elevated, Isolde left alongside her sisters and mother. They went to Morgwyna's homeland of Crystantheum, and began to plan their next move. Isolde and Evaine had always quarelled, relying on Ygraine to balance their differing temperaments, but this time their negotiations fell through and as their aging mother ailed the sisters split up. Isolde went to the city-state of Volmark where her looks endeared her to the leading Autarch, while her talents with his banks made him substantially richer. She became his favourite and most flaunted concubine and birthed several of his baseborn children; a descendant of her daughter would go on to marry Daffyd Monmoth, father of Yven and Alyssa Monmoth, and tehreafter be folded back into the main Blackthorne line many hundreds of years later.

Isolde lived in supreme luxury til her death in 565AE; she was buried along with the Autarch and his three other concubines, though her tomb was placed closest to his, denoting her position as his favourite.
Gawain Blackthorne

Jarvis Blackthorne (half-brother)

Agravain Blackthorne (son)

**Gawain Blackthorne** was the firstborn son of Jason Blackthorne and his wife Antigone. He had a stepmother, Naria Logain, and two half-brothers Jarvis and Jaster. Through his father, Gawain held the unique position of being the first heir to the House of Blackthorne that was not given the title of Prince at birth as the family had forfeited their monarchist status in order to join the Senate.

Gawain took after his father in apperance, but his mother in temperament; he was quiet, thoughtful and introverted, and while often seen as unusually shy for the child of such a noted hero, he held a great many close friendships and was a passionate romantic. He was disinterested in martial affairs and sorcery, preferring instead poetry and music. One of his compositions for the Lyre, *Blossoms of Spring*, was composed for his lover Yelena who eventually became his wife.

He was one of the last Blackthornes to have a Griffin, in his case a dark-feathered male that he named Tempest that was later passed on to his son after his death. Gawain did not often take to the battlefield, but did cross swords with the outlaw known as the Black Knight of Brackensbridge. They fought a mighty duel, but at the end of it Gawain was killed. Yelena, who he had married, was eight months pregnant at the time of his death.
Malakai

General **Malakai** is the most prominent member of the Underking's army. An ancient and extremely powerful Void Elf, he helps to command his master's forces in the field and often personally wades into battle himself. He loathes terrestrials to the point where he disdains to even speak their languages, and has a particular dislike of Cardinal Steerpike, distrustful of the human allowed within the Underking's ranks. In combat he carries the blade Unholoth and wears armor made from shifting, black glass.

Arielle of the Red Wing

Jason Blackthorne (son)

Queen **Arielle of the Red Wing** was the only child of King Gordon III of the Thunderlands. She was the last of the Red Wing line that bore the blade from which they took their name; she married Balthazar I and thus the House of the Black Thorn became the new rulers of the West. Her son Jason would go on to become a great hero. Much information concerning Arielle and her family, along with most ancient Storm King lore, is lost and forgotten thanks to her grandson, Jarvis.
Magitech Weaponry

Placeholder

Spirit Cannon- Also known as an Arcanum Projector, this device fires out a beam of concentrated energized arcanum, which can be augmented by any number of properties within the weapon. You can have cannons that only disintegrate non-organic materials, shoot fire beams, or a column of sheer electricity. At least, with the most advanced and up to date models of the platform, more antiquated systems are a lot harder to work with, and are exemplified by the model used at the Riverford Massacre. The only ones Divankul Dul-Sansiska seemed to have access to are the most more ancient versions of the weaponry.
Battle of the Ghost Fleet

The Battle of the Ghost Fleet was a pivotal encounter between the naval powers of Special Command Moksikh, under the flag of Mordeghast, and the Drow-Accord Alliance Armada, under the flag of Lord Mancel Ludlow. The battle only lasted a period of one day, but within the confines of that singular day of fighting, the terrestrial fleets would suffer massive casualties, and the forces of the Void would be totally annihilated. By 1086, it has gone down in history as one of the greatest naval battles ever recorded, and is heralded by all as a testament to the tenacity of mortals uniting against demonic incursions.

Dorian Knox

Preston Knox (brother)

Cadmus Knox (brother)

Sir **Dorian Knox,** heir to the Three Towers, two-time champion of the Everglow Tourney, High Inquisitor of Holy Aradia's Sixty-Eighth Great Crusade, and Lance of the East is rightly considered one of the most feared warriors in Aradia. It is a tradition within the Knox household that the firstborn son and heir be given to the Temple to serve as a Crusader, an armed warrior of the faith. The period of required service usually extends to only about 7 years, but Dorian took it further by continuing to serve into his 30s. A large, powerful man, he is a master at mounted combat, having won a series of illustrious tourneys throughout his life. His experience in battle has made him a skilled tactician, and he is known for his heavy involvement within the Knox military--though he prefers to leave matters of governance to his younger brother Nestor. Dorian suffered an injury at the Everglow Festival of 1014AE after taking a wound from Jaster Blackthorne, the aftereffects of which caused the Knox-Blackthorne War. With a severely damaged leg, Dorian is no longer able to take part in combat, but continues to command his father's armies nevertheless.
