The Drakynor Family, originating from Hilly Holes of the Colonies, is a small family consisting of the little known, wild, and unruly Drakynor twins, the oft-acknowledged-separately Allegria Drakynor, and their yet unknown younger brother Leon. The family, deriving from an ill-recorded ancestral line, was begotten by wealth that has forgotten itself and instead simply lives off the land; The parents, Filia and Stephan Drakynor still reside in Hilly Holes, away from the hustle, bustle and panic of Outer Tilog's insanity, in a secluded acre.

The Drakynor Twins
Birth
As November rolled around and green leaves continued to crinkle and bend with the tinges of a dry fall, Filia heaved with the burden of two roiling boys within her. Stephan, her husband, and the father of these soon-to-be sons, often found himself awake nights upon nights in staying by her bedside, cool cloth in hand and sweet whispers on his lips. For without him she might not have made the long trek, the 25th came soon and just in time, and left the happy pair with two wailing, flailing boys of their own - Abel and Jentroth.
Early Life
Filia and Stephan raised the boys as best they could, but quickly found just how strenuous their location in Outer Tilog was on the youths. Frequent attacks from beasts known as "Bread Golems," and raucous howls from various "Keepers of Hair" left the tiny lads crying the night long. To make it all harder, within just a year of the boys' birth, Filia was pregnant again and soon gave birth to a daughter - Allegria (see "Allegria Drakynor" below).
It was only a matter of time before the chaos that surrounded them began to cause familial problems. At age 5, while Abel and Jentroth were out in the field, a feral howl scared them to their bones. Jentroth recounted many years later the sheer fear he felt as he and his brother dashed back towards their parents' estate. Although little more than what follows has been disclosed, rumours circulate amongst those who know the Drakynor family. As it were, something terrible must have occurred between the last memory that Jentroth has reminisced on and when they finally were hurrieed back into the Drakynor mansion by a family steward, bleeding, broken, and both boys wide-eyed and still in shock. Filia and Stephan were quickly ushered from their quarters and letters were sent on the fly for the best doctors in Outer Tilog to come and care for the young boys.
Months passed, and finally Jentroth was able to stand again. Every day and every night, he would wait by his brother's bed, staring at him with those same wide-eyes they both wore on that fateful night, mumbling over and ver, "it's ok, it's ok." Abel had the worse of the injuries; Abel had suffered a severe concussion and hemorrhaged substantially for some time. Luckily, no permanent damage appeared to have been done, as, just two months after Jentroth had finally healed, Abel had as well.
Young Adulthood
Although no signs of their past trauma - scars aside - seemed to linger in the boys, Filia and Stephan were reluctant to send them out into the world of Knighthood. Despite their good wishes, however, both young men pushed and urged their parents to enlist them in training at the young age of 9.
Parting Ways and Knighthood
Soon, the twins' 15th birthday came to pass; Celebrations took place, and the stewards toasted and cheered. Had Allegria been, there, they were sure (Jentroth especially), she would have been so proud. As Abel lifted his newly-minted wine goblet and turned to his brother, however, a sharp crack split the night sky outside with a flash of light, and a howl echoed through the mansion. The pale faces of both Jentroth and Abel turned sallow, and their eyes shivered. Dropping his cup, Jentroth sprinted from his seat, plowed through the stewards around him, and, flailing and yelling, crashed through the manor's entrance, Abel following closely behind.
For many miles, the young men ran, never breaking stride, never stopping for breath. All the while, Jentroth strode on ahead, just paces in front of his brother, but not once looking back.
"Hey kid..." a voice cooed from behind a thicket.
Abel slid to a halt, expecting his brother to slow as well, but to no avail - Jentroth, despite Abel's cries for him to stay his gait, plunged deep into the night. Turning angrily to the voice, Abel growled "...what the hell do you want?"
"That's no way to speak to a noble, kiddie," The voice croaked. "Especially not one that has an offer - one you simply can't refuse!"
It was soon after that the Drakynor estate realized just what had taken place. The two boys were gone.
