Targon Valerian Lux is one of the bravest sons of the House of Lux. His defense of Barad Riel accompanied by Lord Relkin Sypher, at the time a Duke of that fair city, against the overwhelming Estonite forces is still being told amongst the Ithilian nobility. In younger days Targon Valerian travelled a lot with his twin brother Elladan across all of Atamara, finally settling down in a monarchy nested into the north-eastern coast of Atamara, Minas Ithil. Honourable nobles were what he valued above all, for he was a man of honour and integrity himself, and he felt like he had found his place there. With time, the ways of the North drove him ever further; at first he joined Athonlaurism, the religion of the Sun, but when its founder, High Priest Anton Anaris retired from active preaching, the word of Arelien withered and soon fell into oblivion. It happened then that in a small temple in Lyton, Targon Valerian discovered Magna Serpaensism, creed of the Great Serpent Magnus, which his twin brother Elladan had already been a follower of. Soon upon claiming his position as a Knight of Shanandoah, Targon Valerian fought many a battle on Atamaran soil, especially proving himself through defense of the Fort of Elost on many occasions, against the three-fold attack of Eston, Norland and Barony of Makar. However, days grew weary for Minas Ithil, as the Northern Federation outnumbered their war efforts greatly. Soon, Moramroth rebelled, and in spite of brave and long defense, Federation forces, after great losses, finally ran over Elost, and this caused a takeover of unprotected Amriel as well. King Dead Angel the Third then abdicated, and Sir Raoul De La Fere was elected. After much diplomatic toil, a favourable truce was signed by all sides. This sudden change opened a new battlefield in the South and a new chapter in Targon Valerian's life. As Eastern Alliance was being pushed from all sides by majority of Atamaran realms, Minas Ithil opted to help her longtime ally Falasan. Ithilian armies started marching South... Bitter was the war of the South. Victories and defeats mingled in what seemed a neverending maze of warring insanity. Cagilans, Darkans, Taleriumites and who not fought against allied forces of Falasan and Minas Ithil. Back and forth, a victory in Nazgorn followed a defeat in Corniel and so on and on it went. In a terrible ferocitiy of a counter-strike, the allied forces even breached the walls of Aja, Taran capital. The city was looted, but inspite a decisive breakthrough it could not be held. As expected, just when the truce ended serpents of Northern Federation returned to their opportunistic ways and invaded Minas Ithil northern borders. A battle-weary MI army had to march all the way North again and engage their enemy. Outnumbered as usual, they won many battles, twice they broke Estonite attacks, but barrage of attacks and multitude of enemy forces could not be stopped, and Winwich finally succumbed as the looting dogs of Makar poured within MI borders. What happened then was totally unexpected. Darkan mercenaries attacked Eston in Massillion turning the tide of war. In only a month Estonite ranks were overrun, but were given a merciful treaty and Darkan help in reclaiming Barad Riel from Norlanders, their yesterday's allies. Thus a Northern Federation was no more, twisty Makarians turned their backs on Norlanders too. Suddenly everyone was after Norland, which soon became greatly reduced in size. A weary MI army got a much needed rest, and seizing the opportunity pushed on the offensive. Winwhich was taken back, with Mansbridge, an old, long-standing Ithilian line of defense, following soon. Norland was on its death throes by then, a great famine in Brackhead reduced Viking numbers almost to extinction.
