Family History

Early History

The Tempest family history starts on the continent of Beluaterra ages before now. It is rumored that the very first Tempest was sparked into existence from a violent lighting storm on a snowy mountain peak. Folklore describes Bolt Tempest, the founder of the family as a born master of the air elements, taking command of the wind and lighting to forge a great and noble family. However as time passed, less Tempest children would be born with elemental gifts. By The Seventh Age of Beluaterra the family had descended to become lesser nobles with their last remaining modest estate in Yipinalke.

The Seventh Age of Beluaterra

The Seventh Age saw the birth of both Sol and Luna, sisters of the Tempest family. While Sol was born with a gift of primal fire, Luna was born with no discernible gifts. The sisters would form a bond despite the wishes of their parents. Without a gift Luna was the black sheep of her family.

Family Members

Sol Tempest

Sol, the Eldest child of the Tempest family hails from the province of Yipinalke. Born with the gift of fire magic Sol was raised with loving care and trained to harness the power of her namesake with complimented knight training. Upon coming of age to be a lady she was quite skilled with a single blade and modest magic skills. On her 17th birthday Sol could be described as a slender women standing around 5ft7 with skin as pale as snow and blonde hair to match. Her eyes normally are a faint golden color however glimmer like topaz while spell casting. This is off putting to some common folk who often refer to her as the tempest witch.

Shortly after her 17th birthday while out dealing with some monsters nearby the family estate a group of villagers attacked the family home, killing her parents and burning the manor while chanting "kill the witch." Upon returning home she saw the carnage and learned what transpired. Sol with her longtime friend and mentor Captain Andred set to the nearby village and in a blaze of anger and fury burned it all to the ground. Sol had always had a good sense of justice until this point, but the actions of the ignorant villagers shifted her morals and view of the world in an instant.

With nothing remaining of her home she left Yipinalke with Andred and went forward to make a new path through life. By some chance or fate she met up with her former childhood friend Svari Storme, who she hadn't seen for years. Svari now a Warlord of the Sanguine Order under Lord Xlair Silverblade brought her into the fold, and Sol took his blood oath, swearing her magic and blade as his.

Sol's current estate is The Tower of Misery within the Agony Heights district of Wudenkin.

Luna Tempest

Luna, Sol's younger sister also hails from the province of Yipinalke. Luna was born with no discernible elemental gifts therefore her parents were apathetic towards her. She received sword training from the family Master-at-Arms and sparred often with Sol. She would become very proficient with both a short and long blade, besting even her elder sister. Upon turning 15 Luna realized she would gain no prestige remaining under her parents and in Sol's shadow. She took whatever she could carry and deserted her homeland of Beluaterra for The East Continent.

Luna's current estate is The Grey University of Karbala.
