Throcmeretun Family

Throcmeretun Family

The Throcmeretun Family hails from Atamara, with origins in Strombran, the capital of Carelia.

Eduard

As a young child, Eduard's interest had always been piqued by winged creatures and their physical properties. Because of this innate obsession, as the boy grew into a man, he naturally preferred studying archery techniques to infantry techniques. A brilliant lad, he became able to predict within a few inches where a fired arrow would land based on weather conditions and other such factors at as young an age as eleven. His elders recognized this to be a great advantage and began training him to be a great leader of archers.

Eduard is the cousin of Levi (his father's brother's son) and his elder by about two and a half years. However, after a bitter altercation with his cousin, Eduard determined that he had to get out of Carelia and away from Levi before anything irrevocable happened. Thus he moved to the region of Icegate in the frozen north of Atamara, where he recruited his first set of warriors, calling them Nocturnal Contagion. This name was destined to stick to all troops Eduard would command from that day forward.

After tragically losing all of his men in a great battle in Cheltenborne, yet surviving himself, Eduard declared himself a hero. He holds as few ties and loyalties as possible and prefers to be left to himself. Because of this belief, he refuses to pledge himself to any liege. Some argue that he has done this and so made himself out to be a hypocrite by becoming a knight of Freezefist. Eduard, however, views his relationship with Kha'thar'tyn Grimoire as one of an alliance more so than one of servitude.

Joseph

The youngest of the three active Throcmeretun males, Joseph is the younger brother of Eduard. Many have described him as the fleshed-out version of Eduard; the passions and fire that Eduard keeps so well hidden, Joseph makes no attempt to disguise. His battle-hungry, firebrand attitude often got him into trouble at home, and more often than not, Joseph could be found in bars and other places of ill repute around Strombran. Tragically, his parents took very little disciplinary action, and so Joseph continued to live this life until one day when he overheard a traveling trader telling of his travels.

The man had come from the Colonies, and purported them to be lands of instant wealth, intense warfare and all the sorts of things that appealed to Joseph. Thus, without informing his parents, he packed his belongings, and in the middle of the night, boarded a ship bound for the Colonies. His parents still are unaware of his whereabouts and have asked both Levi and Eduard to keep a sharp lookout for the boy.

Goronwy

Goronwy was the half brother of Levi through their mother. He was born before the marriage of Levi's father and mother. The father of Goronwy is unknown to all except his mother; all that is known about the cad is that he abandoned Goronwy's mother soon after her pregnancy. The family has not attempted to learn anything further concerning his name or whereabouts.

In order to keep the family name honorable in the public eye, Goronwy was shunned from any inheritance or nobility and was thus forced into the life of an adventurer. The last contact he had with his family was in the financing of his voyage to Beluaterra by his mother.

Sad news reached the Throcmeretun family several months later. They were told that Goronwy was beginning to make a name for himself among the gentry of Riombara when he was captured by the Necromancer's Servants in Avengmil. He was on a quest in search of a rare and unique artifact (the name of the artifact was withheld as others were still in search of it) at the time of his capture. Having been imprisoned several times before, Goronwy planned to wait out his weeklong period of capture as was his practice. However, on the fourth day of this particular captivity, he was brutally executed by the living dead.

His mother, upon hearing the news, was heartbroken and did not sleep or eat for a week. The patriarch Throcmeretun, attempting to lift his wife's spirits, was able to anonymously send money to Beluaterra in order to give Goronwy a decent burial. Thus passed Goronwy.
