Tinsley Family

Tinsley Family

William and Lynn Tinsley were childless until a fire ripped through a nearby village. One of the local farmers had found the lads stumbling through the ashes. As the Tinsley family home was located outside the actual town, it was one of the few buildings spared and the family was safe. The farmer, knowing of the graciousness of the Tinsley family, approached William and Lynn to see if they would care for the children. They agreed and raised them as if they were their own. Willem and Freidroch were in their third and second year, respectively. The parents of the two boys were not found, and it is assumed that they had recently emigrated from another land. The boys called each other Willem and Freidroch (or at least that is what it sounded like). William and Lynn kept those names.

Upon reaching manhood, both Willem and Freidroch were told of these events and have spent both time and money to find out more about their birth parents. It has been a fruitless search, but they keep hoping to learn more.

Willem Tinsley was sent out to the world to seek his lot in life at the age of 17. Willem began his career in Falasan, Atamarra, as a soldier. Willem took up the trader's path for a while, but decided that he was more suited to be a knight. He was recently appointed the Marquis of Amdor. He used to command Menedor's Finest (an infantry unit), who fought bravely against the attacks by troops of Eston against Falasan, but has set them as militia in Amdor.

Freidroch, having heard of the attacks, pleaded with his father to be released from family chores to go fight for Falasan. Being more of a woodsman, he gathered men from the Black Brook area of Menedor and formed the Black Brook Archers. These have been dropped as a militia unit in Menedor (and have since been eliminated by attacking Eston forces). He now commands the Eastern Lake Archers.

A natural born daughter to William and Lynn Tinsley is Caroline. She is younger than her step-brothers. She has recently left the ways of warfare, and taken up the red tape of bureaucracy in Valentia, Beluaterra. This has paid off, as she was appointed Countess of Winifael.

A distant cousin, Dana, is rumored to be an adventurer, also in Valentia, Beluaterra. His status is currently unknown, although is said to be wandering the countryside.
