Ascalon Family
History
The Ascalons were a family of farmers and traders. They tend to grow corpses and take care of the lands. They were worshipping the Great Mother, a Goddess of fertility. Strange rituals were done on their lands, people were seen chanting incantations of fertility and dancing in the light of the Moon. A strange white glow was always surrounding them, as if they were blessed, ór cursed, others claim. Fact is their corpses grew stronger and bigger every year... They made a lot of cash, and could buy lots of extra land.
But other farmers and countries got jealous with them and started to steal. Entire lands were robbed of their vegetables; farmers were pressed to hand over a lot of their income to rogues if they wanted to live. Many Ascalons barely could make an income, they had barely enough to survive. So my father decided I had to make a difference! He send me to the large castle of the Duke of Eaglin, Belenus, and there, after a training of a year and a day, I swore loyalty to the Belenus and became a knight. It wasn’t an easy training don’t think that! Fighting is an art, and has to be done precise. I’m not going to say that I’m a champion, but I can stand my ground.
"Iana"
Iana was the youngest daughter of the family. She’s a lady with long blond straight hairs and green brown eyes. Not a real beauty, but she had something flattening around her. She can’t stand dishonesty and injustice. She was raised on the lands but also in the fields of battle. She saw many soldiers fight and die. She was the one who wandered out in the fields to find the wounded ones and healed them. She knows every wound and every herb that can help healing. And the most important maybe, she knows how to find them. And that’s the main reason why the Duke of Eaglin, Belenus, has accepted her on his training grounds. The few lessons of the soldiers she had when they were resting in camp, weren’t enough to teach her how to hand a sword, what gave her a little advantage on training.
