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.

The Line

The symbol of the family, a statue amidst the fountain at the mansion, the Lady is believed to be an ancestor of the Haerthorne line.

The ancestral home of the Haerthorne family rests within the the city of Remton and the capital of Arcaea, lying on the banks of the Raen Duin. For generations they were impoverished and often childless, leaving only a small trace of the family left to endure their legacy.

Descended from Sir Edgarl Haerthorne and Lady Cioarnodal Veanne, there are two significant branches of the family line, namely those descended from both Rickhart and Melisande, brother and sister, and those born from Gaerrant and his wife Gwydda. The latter have the strongest hold onto the family estates due to the legitamacy of their children and acts of adultery committed by the others. With the death of Gaerrant however, Aerywyn ascended to patriarchy of the House and has made efforts to mend the wounds caused by Gaerrant and his father.

Myths and Stories

Gaerrant's Children

A younger Aerywyn playing the harp, lost in his music.

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

Aeriel Haerthorne
Status: Alive
Class Knight, ex-Infiltrator
Realm/Island: Caergoth, Atamara
Title: Noble of Caergoth
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

The only child of Melisande Haerthorne and cousin to Aerywyn and Aeriel, Celyn fled the family home in Arcaea during the Great Northern War against his homeland with his mother. He has travelled across four different continents and seen war in many different lands, having been in Minas Ithil, Falasan, the Sultanate of Asena, Pian en Luries and Shadovar. Proficient with a long sword and with an intellect hardened by experience he has served as a close companion to the Queen of D'Hara, Lady Katayanna Ogren after finally settling down to a single place. An explorer of the far western reaches of Dwilight, there are few who know those dangerous forests and mountains as well as he does.

Gwydda

Willam Child of Aerywyn's by a young noblewoman called Catherine, the boy has blonde hair that sets him apart from the family, although he has the green eyes of his aunt and grandmother, and the lithe build of his father. He was set up to be fostered as a bastard child of Gaerrant, so that the reputation of the young lovers would not be tarnished, and as agreed he was given to be brought up in the Haerthorne hosuehold. However, with the death of his foster father and the mother due to the starvation and plagues that wracked Arcaea, Willam was soon taken under the loving care of his aunt, Aeriel, and the guidance of his unbeknownst father.

He serves now as Aerywyn's squire, learning as much as he can from the finest tutor's of the realm and from the man he calls his elder brother.
