Aquatharian Bloodline

## History of Aquatharians and SubUmbra

### SubUmbra times

Much like Sub Umbra itself, little is known of the Aquatharians. The information we do have however, has been discovered at the site of the Sub Umbra ruins in the city of Elysium. They are not so much of the Aquatharians day to day activities or their personalities but rather of the events leading up to the raising of the seas. Listed below are all the facts we know of.

* The Aquatharian line was the ruling family of the ancient Sub Umbra nation
* We do not know the name of their race, but they, like most people of Sub Umbra were bear-like-humanoids coming in a variety of colors including but not limited to: yellow, brown, black, dark blue. They lived an average of 250 years.
* Their race and their peoples were tricked by Anator the Ancient into transforming into small leviathan like thralls which Anator used to accumulate enough power to raise the seas.
* King Aquatharius ruled Sub Umbra in the time of Anator
* Aquatharius had a son name Aquathas
	+ We believe the name Aquatharius was used for the eldest member of the family and Aquathas for the son of such. Meaning, when King Aquatharius was young his name too was Aquathas. We believe that they had two names, their family name would come first and their personal name second. For example, some records, including a letter sent from Aquathas to Aquatharius is signed "Aquathas Endras"
	+ Furthermore, some records suggest Aquatharius with the "ius" ending impied elder male while Aquatharous with the "ous" ending implied elder female. Same with younger names, Aquathas with "as" ending implied male while Aquatham with "am" ending implied female. We also believe Aquathos with the "os" ending or Aquathom with "om" ending implied non gender identity
	+ Evidence suggest all family names in Sub Umbra worked as such, however the only other family name we current have is Hatharian of whom we have the name Hatharas which relates to a letter saying that two twin boys, Hatharas Clagius and Hatharas Scelles went into a cavern in the Sub Umbra mountain (named Mount Anatarian) and dissapeared.
* Sub Umbra was in constant war with the Geliionl nation of which we have very little information on. 40 years after the birth of Aquathas Endras, a group of Geliionl soldiers snuck into the Sub Umbra Palace, Ionoel, and murdered the Queen, Endras's mother. From this point forward Geliionl was named the mortal enemies of Sub Umbra.
* 10 years after the death of the Queen, Sub Umbra had defeated 70% of the Geliionl forces and Aquathas was on a campaign in the Geliionl territory close to finally ending the 10 year war.
* While Aquathas was on campaign the two Hatharas boys went missing. A cavern opened up in the Anatarian mountain and they went inside to play.
* The entire mountain was the long forgotten prison of Anator the Ancient, a demonic Leviathan of centuries past.
* Having the city of Sub Umbra built on the base of mountain Anator was slowly able to feed of the souls of the departed and gain power. However, the rage, sorrow and determination that filled the Aquatharian line and most nobles of the nation is what truly fueled Anator's return of power. He fed off their emotions as they were so similar to his own during the genocide of his people.
* Anator possessed the twin boys and used them as thralls

* When a group of 5 guards discovered the cave they followed tracks of the boys before finding themselves in a cavern lit by a blood colored flame. In front of the flame stood the twins holding hands, their eyes glowing red. The boys, possessed by Anator slayed all but one guard

* In years previous to this, the Sub Umbra people were digging a top the mountain to build a religious site when they discovered a glowing black bone which was 10x stronger than steel. King Aquatharius commissioned his best blacksmith to forge it into a blade which he gifted to Aquathas.
* While on campaign the sword slipped from Aquathas's hands during a great sea storm that destroyed half of the Sub Umbra fleet the sword was believed to be lost.

### Undocumented History

* Anator some how had the blade of Aquathas
* He implanted thoughts into the guards brain and gave him the blade to bring to the king
* The guard told the king of the cave and gave him the blade saying a powerful demon lived in the mountain
* The king went himself into the cave believing his son to be dead as the blade was no longer with him
* Filled with dread the king believed what Anator told him in the cave
* Anator told him a great demon broke free from this cave and chased the fleet of Sub Umbrians causing a great sea storm and then the demon slaughtered all of the men when they reached land. Anator told Aquatharius that he was a great force of good and could stop the demon if Aquatharius set him free using the blade.
* Anator is believed to have related with Aquatharius's loss causing the king to believe him
* in addition a soldier survived the actual storm and made it back reporting the storm to the king the next day
* The king so filled with dread after losing his wife and son and used the blade
* Anator was set free
* He transformed all the Sub Umbrians into leviathan thralls, he raised the sea
* With the seas being raised Aquathas allied with the Geliionl forces and raced to where they believed the center of this event was
* Aquathas after great loss and a great battle defeated Anator with the blade of Aquathas trapping both Anator and his own soul in the blade.
* This mean Aquathas could never go to the afterlife and would instead on the day of his death be stuck in an enternal battle with Anator within the bone of the blade.
* Aquathas left Sub Umbra now underwater, he buried the blade deep within the ruins so it would never be found.
* He moved somewhere near modern Ramptopia where he started a family and disappeared from history

### Modern Aquatharian bloodline

The current only known surviving members of the Aquatharian bloodlines are brothers Aeneas IV and Achates IV. Achates sought a simple life while Aeneas spent a month searching for their ancestral home before finally finding the underwater ruins and founding Elysium the underwater city on the site. Now both brothers search for answers on what happened.
