Hwang Family

Origins

The Hwang Family originated from the Taran region of Mapo on the continent of Atamara. However, it is known that the father of the first generation of Hwang Nobles, Wen Hwang, is said to have emigrated from the city of Donghaiwei with a simple scribe's (he made the treacherous voyage whilst hidden in the hull of a silk trading ship) dream of seeing the world and, well, writing it down. However, upon arrival in Mapo, he fell in love with a women named Jane Doe, the daughter of a rich merchant, and could no longer even contemplate continuing his travels. Besides, within a matter of days Wen Hwang had found himself quite fond (perhaps too much so) of Mapan Ale, a popular and locally produced beverage.

Ki Hwang

The eldest twin brother by a duration of roughly 7 hours, Ki has been a lover of battle since the possession of his first ever wooden sword on his 3rd birthday. His love for battle is not to be mistaken as a bloodthirsty nature however, for Ki is undoubtedly a gentlemen, and wholly believes that only the just and chivalric battle can be declared a true battle.  His appointment to Vice-Marshal of the White Scimitar in March 7th, 2011 has done wonders to excel his strategic knowledge of the battlefield, which he has become a dutiful study of. From an early age, Ki has been a self-proclaimed Loyalist to both Tara and her Tyrant. It is clear that this loyalty would exceed all boundaries of self-preservation.

Current Titles

• Count of Tandsu
• Vice-Marshal of The White Scimitar

Taeyeon Hwang

From an early age Taeyeon was completely captivated by her father's wild tales of an exotically beautiful, large and relatively untamed continent from whence he came. Open minded, and politically attune, Taeyeon was avidly against the Tyrannical rule of Tara and from the age of 11, became convinced (perhaps even fanatically so) that her calling was to bring the Hwang name back to the lands of Dwilight. At the age of 17, this dream was fulfilled. But for a dream so fanatically followed to finally be realised, what is left to fill the gap?

Knight of Bohai

Taeyeon arrived in Morekian lands in the Winter of 13YD after a long and arduos journey across vast expansives of seas unknown to herself.  Almost immediately, the young Noble joined Sanguis Astroism upon recommendation of it being the State Religion of the Northern Theorcracies, whilst soon securing an oath with the Lord of Bohai, Count Keremov Nikolai. Thoughout most of the Spring of 13YD, she fought in the  'The Order of the Austere Star' against the foul beasts which often plagued Morekian southernmost regions. Many a unit was lost during this time, a unfortunate occurance that Taeyeon blamed largely on the fault of poor direction and managment within the Austere.

During the Summer of 14YD, Dame Taeyeon was witness to the succession of the Duchy of Aegir  by Duchess Alison Kabrinski, and the subsequent formation of the short-lived realm of Entai. Unknowledgeable in Morekain politics, Taeyeon little of repute to say on the matter, and thus remained a mere witness to the events as a steadfast supporter of Grandmaster Bustoarsenzio.

Knight of Taishan Whilst playing an active role within the Austere towards the end of the Summer of 14YD, Dame Taeyeon had made a trusted aquaintence with Lord Alexander Canus, the recently appointed Count of Taishan. This resulted in Dame Taeyeon offering her services to the Count upon the leave of Knight Pasha (Bohai had another knight to attend its needs). Days later, in the Fall of 14YD, she was transferred to the Order of the Auspicious Star and began a short-lived march north, before being appointed as the Countess of Zhongyuan, in light of Lady Alejandra Sevilla's sudden disappearance.

Vice-Marshal of the Order of the Austere Star Recognising the unstable nature of Zhongyuan, Lady Taeyeon decided to remain in Morek and aid in the defense of its southernmost borders, rather than joining the northern campaign. She was made Vice-Marshal of the Order of the Austere Star, and served in this position thoughout most of the Winter of 14YD.

Marshal of the Austere Star

In the Spring of 14YD, Lady Taeyeon was appointed Marshal of the Order of the Austere Star, a position earnt out of a successful showcase of her competence to the Austere's Sponsor, Marshal Garad Jhaelen Irsei, Duke of Aegir. At the mere tender age of 19, and in the span of but 2 years, Taeyeon had become an influencial member of the Morek Empire. Current Titles
