Targon Valerian Lux is often refered to as the bravest son of the House of Lux. His defense of Barad Riel accompanied by Lord Relkin Sypher, at that time a Duke of that fair city, against the overwhelming Estonite forces is still being told amongst the Ithilian nobility. In younger days Targon Valerian travelled a lot with his brother Elladan across all of Atamara, finally settling down in a monarchy nested into the north-eastern coast of Atamara, Minas Ithil. Honourable nobles were the main reason behind his decision to join that realm. With time, the ways of the North drove him ever further; at first he joined Athonlaurism, the religion of the Sun, but when its founder, High Priest Anton Anaris retired from active preaching, the word of Arelien withered and soon fell into oblivion. And then it happened, in a small temple in Lyton, Targon Valerian discovered Magna Serpaensism, creed of the Great Serpent Magnus, which his brother Elladan had already been a follower of. Soon upon claiming his position as a Knight of Shanandoah, Targon Valerian fought many a battle on Atamaran soil, especially proving himself through defense of the Fort of Elost on numerous occasions, against the three-fold attack of Eston, Norland and Barony of Makar. However, days grew weary for Minas Ithil, as the Northern Federation outnumbered their war efforts greatly. Soon, Moramroth rebelled, and in spite of brave and long defense, Federation forces, after losses unnumbered, finally ran over Elost, and this caused a takeover of unprotected Amriel as well. King Dead Angel the Third then abdicated, and Sir Raoul De La Fere was elected. After much diplomatic toil, a favourable truce was signed by all sides. This sudden change opened a new battlefield in the South and a new chapter in Targon Valerian's life. As Eastern Alliance was being pushed from all sides by majority of Atamaran realms, Minas Ithil opted to help her longtime ally Falasan. Ithilian armies started marching South... Bitter was the war of the South. Victories and defeats mingled in what seemed a neverending maze of warring insanity. Cagilans, Darkans , Taleriumites and who not fought against allied forces of Falasan and Minas Ithil. Back and forth, a victory in Nazgorn followed a defeat in Corniel and so on and on it went. In a terrible ferocitiy of a counter-strike, the allied forces even breached the walls of Aja, Taran capital. The city was looted, but inspite a decisive breakthrough it could not be held. As expected, just when the truce ended serpents of Northern Federation returned to their opportunistic ways and invaded Minas Ithil northern borders once again. A battle-weary MI army had to march all the way North again and engage their arch-enemy. Outnumbered as usual, they won many battles, twice they broke Estonite attacks, but barrage of attacks and multitude of enemy forces could not be stopped, and Winwich finally succumbed as the looting dogs of Makar poured within MI borders.
