The Nightbird Family emerged from Bisciye in Perdan. Of the four nobles who ventured out, only one has lost contact with their family.

Elbryan

Elbryan was the first of his family to venture out of his families estate. As he was the youngest male, he realized that it would be unlikely that he would inherit his parent's estate, thus he set out to make a name for himself. He currently serves in the Westmoor Action Force, and is quickly making a name for himself.

  • His unit of archers, Hawkwing have been with from the first day he set out, they have forged a great bond and are a powerful force on the battle field. Elbryan's unit now only has 16 men to its name of which, 5 were injured and many died holding their ground in close combat after the infantry fled. Each day they offer their prayers to those you fell in their lost brethren who would have stepped in front of the incoming blow for them. However this small unit of 11 able bodied men can dish out more damage than twice their number of infantry with average training and equipment.
  • Elbyran, however was not content. He set Hawkwing up as Miltia in Westmoor, where they can still be found, and journeyed to Partora to recruit a unit of the finest calvary he could find. He was soon heading back with 22 Black Knights in tow. His first battle was a diseater. His horse panicked, and tossed him. Without their leader the Riders of Westmoor fell into disarry suffering many causulities. Since that hapless day, Elbyran has mastered te art of riding a horse, and the riders of westmoor are now seen as the all too real threat that they are by their enemies.
  • Elbyran also had the honor to command the Westmoor Action Force. His active scouting, and an attack that he lead just before dawn made him the perfect canidate when Mitchel Vici stepped down. He held the position of SIC for a few days before becoming the new Marshal. Elbyran held the marshalship for 3 weeks, until he had to divert his energies elsewhere.

Jilseponie

Jilseponie, not to be out done by Elbryan quickly followed suit. However, her mother wasn't so thrilled at Jilseponie leaving her life of leisure to fight. Therefore, in an effort to be rid of her nagging mother Jilseponie left for Eston. There in Eston, Jilseponie leads a stoic lifestyle. She talks only when she must trying to stay clear of the debates that so often rage inside of Eston these days. Though she was never considered much of a swordswoman, she never took that as a reason not to try. Jilseponie has been knocked out of the tournament in the first round twice, of her two trips.

Her many travels have brought her to Old Grehk, were she realized that she was the grandmother of King Zog.

Tadon

Tadon fought for Alowca, He became a hero after participating in a battle with only one other noble to hold off the enemy. Though they were out numbered and better trained the Protectors of Trinity prevailed. However help did not arrive in time for the second wave, and so the region was lost. Upon the loss the region communication fell apart. Tadon was place by his liege in an army with no other nobles and thus received no orders. His taxes were next to nothing, however that did not stop him from putting all of this savings that his family had given him into his troops as the general had ordered. Of course he did not hear about the change of plans afterward and thus was left with no money, no income, and after the large battle to reclaim the region, few men. So ended the short story of the promising young hero. Some say that he went mad determined to find his lost scout. All that can be said for sure is that no one has heard of this hero since.

Kalgar

Kalgar, the oldest of the brothers was so inspired by Elbryan's tales of honor while serving Perdan paid little heed to the state that Tadon returned in, and quickly set out upon realizing that his family could now support him. He felt that as Elbryan's elder he musn't let him out shine himself. Though that thinking changed after a few large battles and the loss of his men he realized that battle was not for him and took up the pen to support his realm. Feeling very much at home scribling away at paper he is content to let Elbryan make the name Kalgar now realizes Elbryan deserves. Joining the realm of Westmoor a day after the seccession. He wanted to keep close with his younger brother. Though he did not want to leave his family estate in Perdan, he began to feel un recongized for his services, except for one quick, private thank you. Once again he found himself wishing he was making a greater difference. The small realm of Westmoor provided this oppertunity for him in his mind. After joining Westmoor, he quickly saw that there were too many burocreats and thus stepped down. He hopes to be a mentor some day and teach his students of his life experiances after leaving his desk.
