While Sol was born with a gift of primal fire, Brigitte and Luna were 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. Luna would desert her homeland and leave for East Continent while Brigitte was married off to a lord of Dwilight.

Sol continues her support of Thalmarkin until the secession off Vordul Sanguinis and swears her allegiance the Emperor Xlair Silverblade. As a reward for her Loyalty the Emperor would grant her lands the region of Ippetimbal and proclaim her Baroness Sol Tempest.

The Seventh Age of East Continent

Luna leaves Beluaterra to forge her own destiny on the East Continent. She arrives in Shadowdale, and becomes a patron of the Grey university in Karbala. After two years in Shadowdale she swears her fealty and knowledge to the Shadow King Lindow Moonsun.

The Sixth Decade of Dwilight

As her husband was a Lord within the realm of Sol, Brigitte would become a dame of Sol. When Brigitte's husband died of old age and the estate left to his children Lady Tempest was left to her own devices. Brigitte would hastily move to Unterstorm pledge herself a Knight of Sol and joined the Solaran Strike.

Tempest Cartography

One of the few things the Tempest sisters Sol and Luna shared was their love of Geography. Studying regions, surveying the land and then scribing their own maps. They would often get into heated discussions over strategic locations, notable features and even borders. The two would toil and debate endlessly over their work with the end result being maps that could only be described as a labour of love.

Plotted Maps

The Cartography Archive contains all the completed works of the Tempest Family.

Sample Maps

Cartography Requests

The Tempest Family is open to scribing you a map however they have some rules:

  • Request must be made in game to a Noble and in an appropriate manner.
  • One of the Family Members must be able to reach the region in question, its hard to make a map of somewhere you have never been.
  • Depending on the distance an Adventurer may be sent to the region for the survey instead of a Noble making the trip.
  • The Noble or Lord making the request is to graciously host the surveyor regardless if they are a Noble or Commoner.
  • The Noble or Lord making the request will need some sort of summary of the region in question.

Disclaimer

All maps are an artistic representation of the region and/or city. They may not conform to all game standards (Dragon's are not that common!) and should not be taken as irrefutable fact for the purposes of roleplay.
