Prince Diarmud Baathúr, Duke of Midlands and Châtelain of Lohensloss is the second child of King Jiri Baathúr and Queen Athina Scale. He is second-in-line of succession to the throne of Edelmaa behind his older brother Conraquis Baathúr. Diarmud has been infused with Amagad Blood, and unlike his siblings, Diarmud was imbued with the blood way younger which is attributed in his martial prowess. Diarmud is indeed considered to be the most powerful martial warrior in the history of Edelmaa.

## History

Diarmud was born in 30 August 190, about three months after the birth of his older brother Conraquis. Diarmud was born into the Baathúr family, which is the ruling dynasty of the Kingdom of Workhold, one of the most vital realms in the entire world. Diarmud's grandfather is the Legendary Küyan, Jimer Adletur, the Emperor of Jimrock.

Diarmud and Conraquis grew to become brotherly rivals. Both competing over local girls and in combat. Diarmud, who got infused with the Amagad Blood before Conraquis, became way stronger and beat his brother in combat everytime. Diarmud however, wasn't as bright in his other studies, though he definitely was better than average. When Diarmud was 9, a younger brother was born, Melkon Baathúr. Diarmud took a liking to Melkon and began to teach Melkon to become his assistant in trying to beat Conraquis in their fights.

At the age of 10, Katerose was born, a little sister for Diarmud. Diarmud took a liking to his sister and became a very attached brotherly figure to the girl. The two of them grew very attached to each other and are seen often together, even today. Diarmud's younger brothers Leondras and Mick were born later.

### Military

Diarmud, unlike his older brother, joined the Royal Army at the age of 15. Diarmud served originally in the minor Lohensloss Brigade that was stationed at the Castle Lohensloss. Diarmud immediately was enthralled by military life and excelled in everything his instructors threw at him. The instructors were not holding back even if Diarmud was royalty. Soon enough, Diarmud was promoted to the rank of Captain and began to command his own personal company.

Diarmud participated in many military exercises and badly wanted to experience combat. This was to come, when the first Glissarian incursion into Edelmaa occurred. Diarmud's unit was part of the defence and Diarmud's unit held firm. Diarmud led his men personally and slayed an enemy commander in personal combat. Diarmud's reputation grew and he became recognized by many military officers. At the age of 23, Diarmud was granted his first Royal Fiefs, the Dukedom of Midlands and the Castle Lohensloss.

### Gate of Baldolf Incident

Diarmud's brother, Melkon Baathúr, had ventured into the Cold North with a company of men. This exploration had gone sour, when Melkon was possessed by the rumored Crimson Lord Anthrasax. When news of this arrived to the Baathúr family, they shut down the news source and prohibited anybody of mentioning a Prince becoming a Demon Prince. Diarmud, Katerose and Jiri Baathúr adventured north to seek Melkon.

When three warriors finally found Melkon, Melkon was already utterly corrupted by the crown of Anthrasax. Diarmud was tasked with killing his younger brother. The task was something none of them could bring to fruition. Jiri and Diarmud managed to restrain Melkon and commanded one of their bodyguards to deal the finishing blow with the Spear of Soltaris. This killed the Demon Prince, but what shocked all, was that the bodyguard who killed Melkon, turned into Melkon. This happened twice, which led Jiri to believe Melkon was immortal and the group withdrew south to ponder what they were going to do with Melkon.

### Eye of Olia Expedition

Soon after the Gate of Baldolf Incident, the Eye of Olia Expedition began, when Jiri sailed East to partake in the Teryuan War. Diarmud was left to think what to do with Melkon.

### Borian War

Three years after King Jiri left to the Eye of Olia, the Borian War began and Diarmud instantly mobilized his Castle garrison. Diarmud tried to contact other Royal Army units, but in vain. The Borian Army conquered all parts of Edelmaa incredibly fast. Diarmud's Lohensloss and Leondras's Baathúr island were only places holding fast against the Borians. When the news of the Royal Army defeat in the Battle of Wolfsee came about, Diarmud began to lose hope. But even then, Diarmud held strong, holding his castle with only a handful of men. In 294, King Jiri returned and began to crush the Borians. Diarmud himself was relieved from the siege when General Mennor Enkell arrived to rescue the stuck army of Lohensloss.

Diarmud was thunderstruck when he heard news of the Explosion of the Royal Keep and the possible death of his father. Diarmud quickly galloped to meet his father, who was crippled but alive. Diarmud was relieved and returned back to help Mennor in breaching the castle of Levinburg. Followin Levinburg, Diarmud partook in the tedious Siege of Charlington. Charlington was a long siege, but after Charlington's defence finally brok, the final test began, the Battle of Eion Valley. Diarmud was ready to give Eion Valley all he has got to offer. Diarmud proved his fighting prowess at Eion Valley when he dueled the KOMS Captain-General Soliar Varjangaria. What was even more impressive, was that Diarmud won the duel. Soliar was later captured in the war and imprisoned in Diarmud's castle. There Diarmud treated Soliar very well as a respectable opponent.

### Fortudatum Crusade

From 294 to 308, Diarmud remained at Lohensloss readying his troops for war against the Armageddon Saint. Diarmud also befriended Mennor Enkell and the various different officers of Mennor's Legio Ardostum. In 308, Diarmud joined the Fortudatum Crusade and commanded the *Eastern Army* detachment of the Royal Army. Diarmud shared his command with Mennor Enkell and the two of them fought in the crusade admirably. Diarmud captured the castle of Froth and fought in the Battle of Riodina. It was found out, that Jamur Emetur had sent the 2nd Ceneprian Army to assist the Vangad-Shei in the Fortudatum Crusade. This news shocked Diarmud as Jamur was his uncle.

However, when the Eastern Army was approaching the castle of Hälfelägel, a terrifying opponent emerged. Melkon Baathúr attacked the Eastern Army and the Fight of Hälfelägel began. At first Diarmud was shocked and couldn't handle meeting his horrific brother. But eventually Diarmud calmed down and assisted in subduing Melkon. Nevertheless, the Eastern Army had to withdraw and they retreated back to Iorisa, where a group of Northern Army soldiers sought to arrest the men of the Eastern Army. Diarmud was astonished at this offense but the Northern Army soldiers attacked. Diarmud's soldiers made quick work of the traitors and they marched to High Castle, where Diarmud needed to brief every officer he could find.
