Maenyx Mullyn I

A source of speculation that has existed for years within the kingdoms is whether or not the Mullyn family survived on the Jeweled Sea. *A sailor many years back* reveals that the family is alive and fortifying on a large island with a fleet under the false name of Maex in order to hide his true identity. A number of people believe the Mullyn to be a fraud mainly for his brown hair instead of the normal silver however he does possess the lilac eyes of the Ice Dragons as well as tamed an Ice Dragon.

Some people have the thought that Maenyx is in truth actually a distant Mullyn, a descendant of a distant surviving branch of House Mullyn which contested the succession to the Throne of Fire at times. Noblemen have theorized that the Osdials would never back a Vakerian or a Mullyn after they have fought against their rule for generations. Or that Asten IV had a wife and children, in secret in the Jeweled Isles diluting the ling. In this case, because of his age, Maenyx could be his son or possibly his grandson. Or he is in a similar way related to another the Mullyn; Asten IV had three sons and an unknown number of daughters on his ventures, this we know. While three of his sons presumably died without issue, and several other of his children likely lived until adulthood.

## Appearance & Character

By the of age five-and-thirty, Maenyx was hailed as the greatest seafarer that Saerial had ever known only beaten by Asten Mullyn. Maenyx is said to be as brilliant as he is restless, and as adventurous as he was ambitious. Though he accomplished much and more in life, he was seldom satisfied. Maenyx is known to be intractable, even in old age. He was remembered as wise in peace and valiant in war. He was a proud man. Queen Vaehna Vakerian thinks him arrogant with a undeniable talent for fighting.

In his more recent years, Maenyx likes to say that he was clinging to life "like a drowning sailor clinging to the wreckage of a sunken ship".

In 1,295 AC, Maenyx met Vaenyx Vakerian III and they began discussions concerning a betrothal for Princess Renaella Vakerian, Vaenyx's technical rightful heir. Maenyx and Renaella were married in 1,298 AC. When Renaella gave birth late in the year 1,307 A.C. to a boy they named Taehaenor II, One more child was born in the year 1,309 A.C a beautiful bright little girl with shining platnium hair with a strand of gold, Rhaesys I The Golden Queen. At this view of blatant divine intervention they thought, they must prepare their sack of Vakar even to get her to sit upon the throne one day. Since then they have allied with House Osdial heavily and House Kankor technically. They are being supported as of current by the Golden Bank but the Aeori do not publicly take a side.

Maenyx is also the first man to bring war elephants into Saerial as a whole. Managing to get them to survive on a large transport ship they stepped foot onto Saerial soil for the first time.

Irrefutably at the current moment Maenyx's Fleets combined with the skills of his family, the looks of his children, and their alliances, are currently winning out the south of Saerial and slowly moving upwards occasionally striking by sea. Vaenarr does not seem too frightened of him as he believes they have a sure fire way to victory that he has not done yet.
