Tierney Family

Only recently, with the birth of their eldest son has the ruling family of HouseTierney decided to join the Chaos Temple Duchy.  There was much suprise when the ruler of the house accepted allegiance to the Baroness of Lundel Solaria Kaltenthal. Before that House Tierney was happy with controlling their side of the island of Lundel.  Many suspect that the head of House Tierney is planning on carving out a name for his family in an attempt to see his son as Emperor.  This is purely conjecture though, mainly spoken since this move it has gone against the grain of what defined the family for so many generations.  Having built up monolithic fortifications into the foothills of the volcano dominating the center of the island, the Tierney clan has for at least two hundred years fended off would be conquerers with ease.  When invaders tried to come in from sea, they learned that the defenses there wear no less forgiving.  The infantry men of House Tierney are some of finest in the world.  Some people believe it is due to the trials men must face upon entering manhood.  No one from outside know what these trials consist of but everybody agrees on one thing.  They are fierce.  For many years the men of Tierney's lands have been sought out for their scouting and fighting abilities.  It is said that the young lord  SAMMA'EL intends to make his personal band The Black Hand into the best fighting force in all of Lundel, which he says with a smug grin, implying that with that he will have created the best military unit in the world.
