The Turik Family
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e333/king_dicky27/Turikfamilycrest1.jpg
A History
The Turik Family is young when compared to many Atamarran Families and was founded by Patrus Turik,a horsebreeder from Bolgar. Patrus was knighted for his bravery and ferocity as a warrior after banding together with an unruly group of lesser nobles and farmers to defend the borders of Bolgar from a monster invasion. Patrus fought as viscously as any Knight of Redspan against the advance of the Beastman herd, driving the gruesome halfbreeds away from a nearby town and then to the banks of the River Yuella, where the last of the beasts were finally slain.The descendants of Patrus Turik have proudly worn his name ever since.
The Turiks have continued the tradition of horsebreeding and have provided some of the best cavalry horses that Redspan has ever ridden into battle. The Turik farm has always been modest and the family has never been the wealthiest or most well known but they have always been strong and they have never strayed in their devotion to Da Way.
The Family Crest was adopted after Patrus Turik's passing. The Golden Lion is a tribute to Patrus' bravery while the heraldic blue stripe to the Lion's right represents the River Yuella. The field of black upon which the crest stands was chosen as a symbol of mourning for the passing of the Family's patriarch. The Family's motto, Ne Obliviscaris, is written in the old tongue and means "Forget Not".
Family Members
Razer
Razer Turik is the first born son of Grackus Turik. Razer's true birth name is Alezander but he was given the nickname Razer at the age of six after attempting to shave out of curiosity and cutting himself deeply on the right side of his jaw. Razer's beard has never been able to grow over that scar. Razer has grown into a large man, tall and as big around as a large beer keg; this factor makes him easy to spot and hard to forget but has been an advantage in many a tavern brawl. Razer has never been afraid to voice his opinion annd regretably often acts before he fully considers the consequences.
Razer wears a kilt in his family's colours as opposed to the traditional Redspanian dress in accordance with Family custom; the Turiks feel that dresses interfere with showing off their manly coats of chest hair and the constriction of a dress' bodice inhibits full burping potential.
Razer invested most of his savings in equipping a small unit of soldiers at the age of twenty and soon after travelled to the Redspan capital of Stargard to join the ranks of warrior nobles in their quest to ensure Redspan's survival against the Northern Alliance. Razer was slow to get involved due to several problems with communication in the army but it was not long before he first saw battle and learned his first lesson in mortality.
His first unit of twenty-five men was slaughtered. Each man was given a plain steel ring engraved with the Turik Family crest upon enlistment to identify him as a warrior of the Turiks; Razer had each ring placed on a chain which he wears around his neck to remind him of their sacrifice and sadly this collection of rings has slowly grown with each passing day.
Ureus
Ureus Turik, the second born son of Grackus and younger brother to Razer by only a year, grew up as a quiet, thoughtful individual; quite different from his older brother. Ureus was a quick learner growing up and was always eager to study. Incredibly intelligent and devious, Ureus became a master of strategy and tactics, easily making up for his lack of obvious physical strength, which his older brother had plenty of.
Not much is know about Ureus' military history except that he travelled to Oligarch on the East-Continent with a small unit of men shortly after his brother made his way to Stargard. His purpose in Oligarch is not common knowledge but it is known that many letters pass between Ureus and his brother back home.
