House Osha Timeline



Alfred

The youngest son of Sera.

The result of a political union between his father and another noble house, the reason Alfred came into the world thus far marks the highlight of his usefulness to House Osha. Unlike other offspring of the House, Alfred remained at the family estate in Irdalni for a few years beyond reaching manhood. Eventually, he was strong armed into taking a ship to Dwilight to start a new life there. Whether or not this shock therapy will put a fire into Alfred's heart and give him the ambition he lacks remains to be seen.

Attila

Attila began life as a friend of Sera in the Osha's home village in Koolaris, but was later adopted by the Osha's as one of their own. His childhood was eventually coloured by fights and disputes with Sera however, leading to Attila's leaving the continent to travel at the first possible opportunity.

After roaming for a few years, Attila was ship wrecked off the coast of the South-West Island and Attila wasted no time in using the Osha name to become a noble of Ikalak. After distinguishing himself in the eyes of Duke Fura Lious (a family friend), Attila was granted lordship of Endelee. However it was not long before Attila went to look for his 'niece' in Beluaterra.

After arriving in Beluaterra, Attila swiftly joined the reborn realm of Vice which his niece had been a part of long ago. It wasn't long before Attila had experienced most of the positions of power in the realm, with few other nobles of Vice having anywhere near the prestige of the Osha name or indeed the skill to fill those positions. Of course though, it was not to last and Attila eventually relinquished his grasp on political power to become Duke of Latlan. A choice he regrets considering the lacklustre performance of most of his successors in the council. Although it did afford Attila the opportunity to restore Latlan's infrastructure and defences after years of neglect.

Eventually, Attila grew tired of life in Vice after seeing the damage the state religion, Hedonism, had caused to Vice' chances in the war it had waged since it's rebirth. Finally accepting that his niece was probably gone forever and that Vice' continued existence would cause only more harm than good to the people of the desert, Attila swore an oath of fealty to King Scion the Skilled and declared the Duchy of Latlan a part of the Kingdom of Heen. This action had immediate repercussions within the Western Badlands, and the Reunification War was effectively ended in one fell swoop.

To this day, Attila remains within Heen, although he has since lost command of Latlan due to prolonged periods of illness. He is viewed with suspicion in some circles not only because of his belief in Estahsism but for the controversial outspokenness that usually accompanies any appointment to a position of power. Age seems to have softened the man however, with his tenure as Grand Vizier having thus far been quite peaceful.

Barbar

Dimon

Dimon is the illegitimate (and only) son of Attila.

Dimon was brought up in Ikalak as part of a merchant family. For years, Dimon was perplexed as to why when times were hard, modest sums of money would be inexplicably received by the family. It was only when he became a young adult, that Dimon learned the truth of his lineage. That he was the son of an Osha. Vowing to become a fully fledged Knight like his father, Dimon went to make a life for himself in Beluaterra, leaving his old family behind.

Malice

Revan

Revan the Younger

The only son of Revan.

Revan the Younger was sent to the court of his uncle, King Malice, shortly before his father betrayed Giblot. Although Revan the Younger still retained a handful of uncouth habits and mannerisms from his father, his time served in King Malice' court went a long way towards civilising the young Revan. Though sadly not completely.

During the Falasan-Eston conflict, Revan defied the explicit wishes of his uncle and left the royal court to join the army. After abortive attempts by the Lord Steward to return young Revan to the safety of the court, King Malice reluctantly left his wayward relative to his own devices. At least, that's what Revan thought. In Barad Falas however, Revan was forcibly put on a ship to Beluaterra - far away from his uncle.

Upon his arrival in Beluaterra, Revan immediately met up with another uncle, who also had little time for the young nephew. Thus, tired of being under the wing of bored relatives, Revan made for the Kingdom of Old Grehk in search of war and glory. For a time Revan served as Count of Mekoter, though he has now disappeared without explanation during the height of the third invasion of Beluaterra.

Rinoa

Sera

Wolfram Gunnar

Although strictly speaking, not a member of the family, he is considered a loyal servant and ally for his service to Malice as his Steward and indeed, Lord Steward, during Malice' reign in the Ash Sea Islands. It was once whispered in some circles that Wolfram began life as little more as a petty commoner, though when he was given the honorary Earldom of Abingdon the whispers stopped quite abruptly. Wolfram remains at the side of Malice to this day.
