## History

### Colonization of Titan

The start of Titan's colonization's starts in 747 IC with the Technocracy laying the foundation for terraforming for the arrivals which include several noble families, knights, church officials and hundreds of thousands of workers. The first settlements are founded which grew due to massive industrializing and mining. Decades past and Alephys Titan becomes it's own small feudal empire with it's own military. A large number of Technocratic Innovators band together and name themselves '**The Augum Guild**' based around enhancing the human form.

### The First Five

With permission from the Grand Magnir's the Augum Guild successfully creates a shin that can enhance the human form making them stronger, tougher and faster than an average human. They had the idea of creating super warriors to protect humanity from ongoing threats from the demons and heretics. Thousands both from the upper and lower classes took the test to prove they're strong enough for the task of defending humanity from the dark powers. Only twenty survived and out of those twenty five were chosen to become the first Titan Warriors, these five men Albrec, Kurlitos, Samur Dakossin, Jocharos and Lyrvwen were enhanced with the second skin which gave them superhuman abilities far surpassing any human. These five men were tasked to eradicate any traces of the dark powers on Titan which succeeded after a year of deployment and Titan was rid of any corrupting influence for the time being.

Requiring more Super Soldiers, The Guild subjected thousands of more people into creating more super soldiers eventually five was made into ten and the first squad came into being. The numbers increased as more and more people wanted to join the ranks of the Titan Warriors and soon enough a hundred members were now a part of the first company of warriors. The warriors proved effective wiping the planetary system clean of the dark powers however it came at a cost as several warriors lost their lives fighting the dark forces, this left only Albrec alive from the original five which proclaimed him Captain of the 1st Company. Soon enough more companies would start to form with their own Captains leading them however none could match the power Albrec, who seen amongst many as the greatest of all of The Titan Warriors with or without his psychic powers. Albrec gave himself the title of Marshal with the role of Captain being bestowed by his second in command Galias Wulvrand. In 793 IC Albrec was chosen as the ruler of Titan along with it's satellites and an age of peace had come.

### Rule of Albrec

Albrec proved to be a capable and strong leader who managed to turn Titan into a powerful state where very few could oppose it. He promoted The Augum Guild as the most powerful organization on Titan whom answered only to Albrec and the Technocracy. The Holy Church remained prevalent on Titan as a source of worship and faith within the citizens of Titan. During Albrec's rule six companies had formed and were seen as protectors of humanity going around the system purging any form of corruption. The Warriors of Titan all saw Albrec as their leader and inspiration and regarded him higher than any other human and all strived to be like him. Each Captain (Galias, Horcruthe, Archebus, Calvgar, Melphestrian and Tarnuhk) had a special bond to each of their companies and each of their personality added some style to each company.

### The War on Titan

#### The Seeds of Chaos

Whilst on the outside everything was fine, the inside started to become corrupted as the dark powers slowly began to tear the Titan Warriors in two. Archebus, Captain of the 3rd Company was secretly a servant of the dark powers and has slowly corrupted the company unknown to anyone else. The 3rd Company pretended to fights alongside their brothers who all thought they were loyal. The 3rd Company mostly fought alongside the 2nd Company led by Captain Horcruthe who was second only to Galias in power and Archebus wanted him to join his side. Gradually the 2nd Company fell under the sway of the dark powers with ironically the last person to fall was Horcruthe himself. The corruption was very subtle first attacking anyone who was slightly against the side of the empire then fully attacking loyalist who were perceived as working for the dark powers. Horcruthe truly fell after being attacked by demons and was stabbed by a poison blade which then filled the thoughts of serving something greater than Albrec, the dark gods themselves. They convinced Horcruthe that the empire was corrupt and oppressively where as the dark gods offered him and anyone who followed him freedom. With both the 2nd and 3rd Company falling to the demons they wanted the 1st Company and with them corrupted they would control the three most powerful companies. That wouldn't come to pass as Melphestrian eagerly wanted to join the dark forces as well, he was accepted in and now half of the Warriors were corrupted. Archebus, Horcruthe and Melphestrian formed the Triumvirate and were made power servants of the dark powers.

The Triumvirate wanted control of Alephys Titan, the Usurping of Albrec and the resources to make more super soldiers to increase their numbers. To do so they needed The Augum Guild on their side the organization second only to Albrec himself. Archebus saw Guild Master Polvanos Mier as a powerful ally who knows all the secrets on Titan and more. Much to the Triumvirate favor Polvanos was unpopular with the other Guild members wishing to elect another member as Master with only a small minority of support. Polvanos grew dissatisfied with the Guild he helped created and thought of potentially splitting off to form another Guild with his followers at his side. The Triumvirate approached Polvanos and offered him a way out of his own Guild and to help keep bringing new technologies and further increasing humanities potential for greatness. They brought him over the side of the dark powers who accepted all of Polvanos' innovations and ideas and so Polvanos was put in charge of all technology for the upcoming take over.

The Holy church controlled all of the citizens and held nearly as much power as The Augum guild. The Triumvirate tried to corrupt the church from within by using Xelshion a minister and a secret dark god worshipper to be elected Bishop of the diocese. This succeeded as Xelshion was a highly respected member of the church and had no records of demonic influence. With control of the Augum Guild and the local church the Triumvirate attacked Titan with all the backups of undead, cultists, mutants and demons and this year long conflict would devastate Titan.

## Notable Warriors

* **Marshal Albrec** - Albrec is the leader of the Titan Warriors as well as governor of Alephys Titan itself. He was part of the original five Titan Warriors and is the only survivor among them making him the oldest Titan Warrior alive. He is regarded as the greatest of the Warriors and and a figure to aspire to for younger warriors. He is noted as being the only psychic amongst the five further increasing his strength even though more psychic warriors would come along as time progresses none are as powerful as Albrec. He led the loyal Titan Warriors against the Triumvirate even defeating all three in single combat. The guilt and shame brought on by The War on Titan and the deaths of many Titan Warriors spiraled Albrec into a deep depression which could only be cured by talking with Vance Khylomar the successor of Galias and the favorite of Albrec.
* **Captain Galias** - The second in command to Albrec, Galias was amongst the earliest Titan Warriors enlisted having served Albrec for decades even before becoming Captain of the 1st Company. He was most favored by Albrec due to his ability to inspire those around him and his charisma made him popular with the citizens of Alephys Titan. However he was envied by everyone else most nontribally Horcruthe who wanted to rival Galias in every way and ultimately led to his downfall.
* **Captain Calvgar** - Originally Captain of the 4th Company before he was transferred to Captain of the 2nd Company following huge amount of losses during The War on Titan. He is the sole surviving Captain of the War as the other two Captain's perished and still serves now as Captain making him one of the few Warriors still alive from the War on Titan.
* **Captain Tarnuhk** - The Captain of the 6th Company and was regarded as the least capable of all of his Captains only Galias saw potential in him which was tested during the war. He led the assault on the Mangeffar Forts which were heavily defended and cost nearly the entire 6th Company including Tarnuhk himself who was killed facing the demon Malgormith who would be killed himself shortly after by the remnants of the 6th Company. Tarnuhk is remembered for his bravery and a statue was made in his honor defeating the accusations of him being a worthless Captain.
* **Captain Vance Khylomar** - First a Knight Templar of the 1st Company second only to Galias in everything and was seen as the son of Galias. He is a skilled fighter and tactician and was complemented numerous times by both Galias and Albrec as a prodigy amongst his fellow Warriors. During the war he helped in the defense of the Capital and rallied the people and the untainted members of the Augum Guild against the enemy. Following the death of Galias at the hands of Horcruthe and Archebus he personally charged where the Captains were slaying any who got in his path and directly fought two of the Triumvirate in single combat. He managed to severely wound Archebus and sliced off Horcruthe arm forcing them both to retreat. With both Captains gone Vance led all the remaining Titan's armies against the remaining forces still on Titan and completely destroyed them. After the war Calvgar was chosen to become Captain of the 1st Company but was rejected by Calvgar himself who insisted on Vance being chosen as the new Captain. Vance was honored with saving Titan and defeating the Triumvirate and became Captain of the elite 1st Company following his master Galias' passing where is still serves to the present day making him one of the few Warriors alive from the war. He is stated to be the most powerful Captain in the Titan Warrior's history even surpassing his master Galias and all three members of the Triumvirate. He is one Albrec's personal friends and a reminder to him of Galias' legacy.
