The Dumeric Family hails from the region of Clyderee in Carelia. The Patriarch of the family, Gregor Dumeric, rose from the rank of foot soldier to become the most respected instructors of new recruits. It was after he founded his own Special Forces center, the Shadow Blades, perhaps the finest such center on all of Atamara, that he was granted the title of Nobility by Old King Wintermute. He was too old at the time to command a unit in battle, but passed on his years of wisdom to his three sons Garrick, Garthon, and Geoffrey.

Garrick, the oldest of the Dumeric clan, left his family home to seek his fame and fortune on the East Island. He found a home in Itorunt on the southern tip of the Island. Tales of his exuberance and voracity in battle spread rapidly, causing many of the realm's peasants and more than a few noble to label him a hero. Garrick pays no mind to such labels, and he lives only to see the next battle.

Garthon, the most studious of Gregor's sons, decided his path was to remain in Carelia. Arguably Gregor's favorite son, Garthon spent as much time in the library as he did at the training grounds. His father encouraged all of his sons to read books and gather knowledge, but it was evident Garthon was the brightest. Pressed by his father, Garthon sought and was appointed a region command just a few weeks after he attained the rank of Knight. Garthon's long life of public service had begun.

Geoffrey, the youngest of Gregor's sons, left the green hills and meadows of Carelia for the drastically different desert realm of Talerium shortly after his 17th birthday. Notably the most accomplished swordsman of the Dumeric family, Geoffrey was drawn to a life of shadows. He maintains minimal contact with his family and currently his whereabouts are unknown.

Gwylan, illegitimate daughter of Gregor. Her mother worked in the Dumeric family mansion and became romantically involved with Gregor. When Gregor learned she was pregnant he shipped her off to Beluaterra to avoid a scandal. Gwylan grew up as a house servants child in Mhed never knowing of her noble birthright. As a child, Gwylan was more often playing in the rough and tumble games the boys played than frilly games with the girls. In her teen years she began tracking for the local lord's hunting parties, and at eighteen she officially joined a Scout's guild. Now twenty, she has decided to set out on her own to see what the world holds for her...
