The Line
The ancestral home of the Haerthorne family lies along the banks of the river Remtonas, the city of Remton, the capital of Arcaea. Their ancestors resided there far back into distant obscurity, though they have now risen from the ranks of the minor nobility through dedicated service to their Kings.
Descended from Sir Edgarl Haerthorne and Lady Cioarnodal Veanne, there are two significant branches of the family line, namely those descended from Rickhart and Melisande, and those born from Gwydda, a strange woman who has passed something of the fey onto her children.
Gaerrant's Children
Aerywyn Haerthorne
The eldest son of the now deceased Gaerrant, Aerywyn has now assumed the mantle of the family Patriarch. Not only blessed with talent and experience much beyond his nears, he is gifted with some of the finest looks of the family. His sister Aeriel often pokes fun at him for it. After being knighted at the age of 17, he drew his sword to fight for his homeland of Arcaea, and since then he has served her faithfully and unswayingly, achieving the rank of Imperial Chancellor and then Lord Protector in the war against Ethiala and Greater Aenilia.
He is betrothed to Cypreana Rosinni.
Aeriel Haerthorne
| Status: | Alive |
| Class | Infiltrator |
| Realm/Island: | Arcaea, Far East |
| Title: | Knight of Sasat |
| Former realms: | Arcaea |
| Former titles: | Knight of Remton |
The youngest sister, if Aerywyn is the heart then she is the soul. Though still a girl she has suprisingly proven herself in battle time and time again, yet her character does not reflect that. For the measure of Haerthorne passion in her she is rather quiet by the familial standards, and not so melancholic.
Tirilyn Haerthorne
Melisande's Child
Celyn Haerthorne
| Status: | Alive |
| Class | Hero |
| Realm/Island: | Sultanate of Asena, East Continent |
| Title: | Knight of Gadlock |
| Former realms: | Pian en Luries, Falasan, Minas Ithil, Shadovar |
| Former titles: | Chief Strategist, and Marshal of the Dragons of Shadovar |
Celyn took after his cousin Tirilyn in personality, yet is more apt to logic and sombreness than bear hugs and ale. Ironically found himself in the realm his brother once fought agaisnt. As a youth he fought across from Minas Ithil to Falasan in Atamara, gaining a good reputation with the sword. He journeyed to the distant lands of Dwilight and Pian en Luries, where at the tender age of 20 he came runner up in the first tournament on the continent.
After a secession and a series of rebellions within Pian en Luries, Celyn found himself standing with the rebels time and time again, until they decided finally to leave their Lurian heartland for wilder lands in the west. Unfortunately, the monster hordes rallied in far greater numbers than ever before to besiege the fortresses of humanity, and thus the Lurian colonists found themselves helping the dying realm of Shadovar survive. Much time went by, and both the colonists and the Shadovarians suffered, their fortunes lost. It was then, after all that had been done for them, that the Dictator of Shadovar, Edelstein Greneburie, banished without a trial the leader of the colonists, Lady Katyanna Ogren, for having been seen in the company of dissenters in the underground.
The confusion that followed after involved bungled political maneuvering by both sides, and the colonists, along with a number of angry Shadovarians, very soon took up arms in rebellion agaisnt Edelstein's paranoid rule. As a result, the Lurian colonists who orchestrated the rebellion took over as rulers. Celyn became the General, and using the personal fortune he had built up from the dangers of treasure hunting, formed a new army and funded the first of many projects in rebuilding Shadovar. With no chance of leaving to form their colony, Celyn decided to invest his fortunes and his efforts in the tiny island nation. He had just reached his twenty-fourth year of age.
