Ironsides Family

• Family Mansion in poor rural province of Dulbin, East Continent.

Family History:

The Ironsides family are impoverished nobles from Dulbin. The legacy of the Ironsides is proud and legendary, but the state of the blood has thinned, and the remaining members of the family became obscure. Jagur, the previous patriarch, had wantonly practiced polygamy, and produced many bastard children, presumably an uncountable amount because he was with so many new women, and travelled East Continent extensively. He died of typhoid. His brother Soren, a tamer, gentler man, became the Patriarch of the Ironsides after Jagur’s death.

Soren worked his farm hard and was able to build a successful apiary on the family land. From the production of honey, he was able to rebuild a small fortune and give his nephews the opportunity to live truly noble lives. Now they seek to restore the former glory to the Ironsides name and serve in various realms on different continents.

Ironsides Brothers:

Armstrong, the oldest by a few months, is set to be patriarch once Soren passes, and thereby remained on the East Continent while two of his brothers emigrated. He was ennobled at a time of terrible wars on Fontan, facing five powerful enemies bent on its destruction and embroiled in a civil war, as one of those enemies was the seditious Duke of Fontan itself! (The tyrant of the Confederacy of Fontan) He was a knight of Ashforth, under Duke Duncan, then served Duke Niles as a knight of Karbala, and is now the Count of An Najaf. Armstrong commands the fierce and strong Roughnecks who march with the Fontan Rangers. A true Hero of the Democracy, many tales are told of Armstrong's youth and heroic deeds. He has already become a living legend for the people of his home region of Dulbin, and stories told of him are spread throughout Fontan and the East Continent. As well as being a Hero on the battlefield, Armstrong is also a prominent, if not foundational, member of the Elementalis Guild. Along with Elder Elberan, he was instrumental with the creation of the curriculum and the structure of the Academy. He is the Guild Master of the Elementalis Academy in An Najaf and a Master of the Fire Element. After his rehabilitation plan succeeded in the region of An Najaf, the Hero of Democracy finally realized his dream to build the Congress of Democracy.

Black Bowie, demon of Dwilight, was once a prominent Judge of the Grand Duchy of Fissoa. His duty as a knight earned him a tale telling of his brave unit’s final battle, known as the Legend of the Iron Toughs. He even began a family in Drowenton, a blooming life chronicled in Bowie and Arabell. Abandoning his wife, his child, his status and position, the man succumbed to avarice. Now he serves his lust for fortune, his lust for victory and most desired of all, his lust for power! A troubled Villain of Dwilight.

Hades, the youngest ennobled so far, serves the Way of the Warrior Saints as an Archon Minor. Originally, he was a proud knight of Menedor commanding an infantry unit known as the Fireball in the Army of Menedor, and is still a member of the Spirit of Falasan guild. Since he began the Mission to Rotherthorpe to bring the faith to Minas Ithil he has become a knight of Rotherthorpe. While spreading the faith in Rotherthorpe, Hades met a noble beauty and fell in love with her. They were wed in a small ceremony in the temple of Rotherthorpe, and their relationship is briefly chronicled here, Hades and his Girl. It was revealed on their wedding day that Cimiko was in fact pregnant with twins. The twins were born two months after the wedding and they are Titus and Ariadne Ironsides. His persistence and inquiry has led to the discovery of two lost warrior saints, Saint Maggus and the Imperceptible Saint. Knowledge of the Imperceptible Saint was shared with Hades during his stay with the monks of the Order, commonly, and pejoratively, known as the Cult of Occultation. This cult is an exclusive esoteric community, and any knowledge of the Lord in Occultation is jealousy guarded from outsiders. It is still unknown how Hades was able to acquire their trust.
