Aldrakar Renodin
A young warrior with loose blond hair and radiant blue eyes. He was knighted by Earl Hendrick Madigan of Mattan Dews and granted the Devinian outpost estate in his service. Soon he was awarded the position of Steward of the earl and worked to combat the beasts and many monsters of the land. During this time he befriened Seoras Madigan Nifelleisca being a fellow Knight of the Earl.
After lobbying for position and learning the ways of court and higher nobility Aldrakar was supported by the Earl to petition for the Lordship of Thar Gortauth but it wasn't to be. The Duke of Sun Hall, at the time Malus Solari granted it to someone else. Aldrakar continued to lobby and eventually was rewarded by the Queen herself. Majesty Alice Arundel granted Aldrakar Lordship over the region of Sulorte, promoting him to the rank of Viscount.
As time passed Aldrakar made several more friends and among them were Lady Sha'shanti el Gato whom taught him some bit of warfare and Lord Xerias Turon of Mellifera, at the time also a knight.
Aldrakar proved to be an adept administrator and prosperity and stability reigned in Sulorte all throughout his lordship. He constructed a guildhouse to the Royal Rangers and established the first shrine to Sanguis Astroism in the region.
All this time since his knighting Aldrakar had been assigned to the Golden Host army. His duty was to guard the southern border of the realm from monster incursions and uprisings. He did so with conciderable zeal and on own initiative enlisted the aid of Monster hunting commoners. Eventually a group was formed and lead by a woman he met early on in his quest for prestige and recognition as a noble. Huntress Madison, a fierce woman with little to say and much to do. She spoke through action and he stance was battle at all times it seemed to him. He was both impressed, intrigued and confused by her. She led a group of 5 hunters in his name in the south of Luria Nova. All this let to his appointment of Master Rangers of the Royal Rangers, an elder position.
Through his satisfactory duty to the Golden Host his name was brought up by the new Duke of Sun Hall, his friend, Seoras Madigan Nifelleisca. Aldrakar was proposed to be the new Marshal of the Golden Host. He himself had never thought himself worthy or skilled enough but now that his name was mentioned he went for it. That is, he didn't say no and was mostly just humble. His friends spoke up for him without him asking them to. Seoras, Lord Saul Tarvitz, Lady Sha'Shanti el Gato, Lord Xerias Turon and probably others whom he never learned off. The Sponser of the Golden Host, Lady High Justice Lucini Talratheon whom earlier said Aldrakar was a man of Honor and Honesty appointed him not long after.
It was during this time that Lord Saul Tarvitz approached Aldrakar with a proposition. To establish a chivalric order with him. The Order of the White Rose. A place of Knightly virtues and high élan. Suffice to say Aldrakar agreed and is now a founding member of the Order.
Shortly after these events the Realm of Luria Nova was reformed in the Third Lurian Empire and received the fitting name "The Hegemony of Luria Nova". In this reform that was brought about by Suzerein Empress Alice Arundel the four Duchies of the Realm were elevated to near autonimous Kingdoms where the former dukes were reffered to as Kings or Queen. Each of these 'Kingdoms' were referred to as Halls. Aldrakar was part of Sun Hall under King Seoras Madigan Nifelleisca. The reforms stipulated that each Hall should nominate an Heir. Aldrakar was one of only 3 candicates running for this position. All Lords of Sun Hall were allowed 1 vote. Aldrakar spoke out to the members of Sun Hall praising the virtues of the two other contenders being Lord Hendrick Madigan and Lord Ezra Sypher. Aldrakar voiced openly that he would vote for Lord Ezra and did so.
Somewhere during this time war broke out with the Merchant Republic of D'hara. The Golden Host Aldrakar led was ordered to remain and defend the realm. The first battle was fought over Sallowtown with Lurian Forces smashing themselves against the walls and being killed by the dozens. Strangely enough there were only 6 D'haran nobles sighted and a veritable horde of militia archers. After this failed assault Lurian forces recuperated and claims were laid on Girich by the Duke of Sallowtown in repairment. Days after this statement the region of Nebel revolted against her overlords and went rogue. Shortly after Port Nebel switched her allegiance to Luria Nova and was welcomed into her arms, the Duke Rurik Clarke agreed to a renaming of his Duchy to Shadovar.
The Election for Price of Sun Hall entered a short intermedium as the results came in. Aldrakar had won by 1 vote but there was still 1 vote to be cast by the newly appointed Lord of Vaal. A new dynasty was granted lordship over the region and yet had to cast their vote. For whom that would be cast is still cloudly though.
In short Aldrakar has behaved with respect, honour and dignity. He has fought fiercely and is becoming a warrior of renown. He is young still but his heart seems dutiful and diligent. Will he truely be or ever become a true Knight or will the world corrupt or wrap him into something else?
That is where Aldrakar stands now, his story yet to grow longer.
Gomrin Renodin
The brutish and predatorial man with a big beard and broad shoulders. A mean fighter and a man of few fancy words and more of blood and grime. Currently the Baron of Lugrethen of the duchy of Sandefur in the realm Thalmarkin.
First arrived in Thalmarkin in late winter and offered the Duke of Unger his axe in service. Together with Duke Dunbor Lorganson he drank from Overlords horns and they discussed the matter. Not long after Gomrin gave his oath to the Duke and was granted Blackwatch Keep as his estate.
Not many weeks later the Duchess of Sandefur called for worthy knights to speak up for a chance to become a lord of the realm. Gomrin spoke up, he spoke plainly and said he knew little of administration or laws and didn't care about how many coins the lands gave him. He offered blood and service in exchange for land. She accepted and granted him the lordship over Lugrethen, making Gomrin a Baron.
Many days or weeks even were spend roaming the Thalmarkian lands in search of Monsters to kill, heads to bash and limbs to hack. Gomrin was a prowling predator of the lumbering variety. People started to gorw fond of his brutish ways it seems and treat him with kindness, a concept he still finds weird.
Gomrin is a member of the The Legion of the Wolf and for now a monster hunter who leads a large band of tough men, ex-bandits and backstabbing bastards.
Tordan.. Renodin
A giant of a man with light brown eyes and long brown hair. Barrel chested and bull necked. this man towers over many others but currently is often misunderstood and mocked for his size. He started out in the far north-east of Dwilight, in the Liberto Empire but traveled all the way to Asylon where he resides now. Rumour had it he found a legendary helm, something something Vulcano. Last seen on the west coast of Asylon running after a horde of joyfully cheering children while he was wearing a mask resembling a comical monster.
Word has it Tordan lost the enchanted helm again, it isn't clear where or how but that its gone is certain. He still frequents Asylon but a large man the size of an oak is said to be traveling further north.
Andrin Renodin
A man of letters and deep thought. At least he tries to and is far from as brutal as his relative Gomrin or as chivalrous as Aldrakar but he is all for efficiency, determination and knowledge. He joined the realm of Silnaria at a time when it is at war and he is urged to pick up the sword immediately.
Spending some time in the realm of Silnaria Andrin was accepted by the Margravine of Anost. A certain Lady Arke. She was said to be mad and tortured her subjects just for the fun of it. He quickly learned she cared not for words, money or lives. She cared for pleasure and for extremes. After some discussion between Arke and Andrin she granted him half of her domain to rule over and this made him quite wealthy for a knight.
It wasn't long though before a rebellion broke out. The Royal Spymaster banded together with several other reputable members of the realm with a quest to overthrow, peacefully or otherwise the King, Merlin Silverfire. Andrin was unsure who to side with and the Spymaster had merely told him to follow suit when he offered her his services to the realm. When the rebellion became public however Andrin did not follow suit and instead chose to follow Lady Arke who incidentally was also the High Justice of Silnaria.
Lady Arke Opted Neutrality and so did Andrin. He watched the massacre in Barad Falas as the Loyalists butchered the rebelles. It rattled him a little but also formed him further into a merciless man who cared more for efficiency and less for compasion.
In the aftermath of the rebellion the Loyalists victorious the realm was truly sundered. Half of the government and council was exiled, many dead and the army all but destroyed. Enemy realms all around and the Prince of Silnaria, Claudius demanding his status as High Justice back. It fell on deaf ears and anger brooded. Andrin defended his Liege lady with words and letters against her attackers and gained respect from both advesary and ally for his intelligently worded defence.
In the end it was all for nothing though, Lady Arke was stabbed and mortally wounded. She lost position and the King was about to abdicate, leaving the Prince in power perhaps. With open threats crossing the public eye of the realm Lady Arke choose to laugh in the face of danger and defected with her region of Anost to the realm of Eston. Andrin was in tow and received a letter form Lady Arke that he was free to do as he wanted. A second letter he received he learned that Lady Arke believed that the gods were recieving her and that she would stand in their mids as the greatest of gods. She would send him her worldly possesions she wrote and he was getting very clear evidence that she mad indeed, truly have been mad. This didn't matter to him though, she did right by him and he was off to another realm.
Andrin traveled north and pondered the question how he should remember Lady Arke. Perhaps present her as some Godess of Pleasure? She certainly would be pleased with that he thought to himself.
This is where Andrin's road has led him so far. He has plans, ideas and ambition but what will come of it all?
