Corian Family/Annwn

Annwn du Corian

Annwn, daughter of Cormack du Corian left Norland before the ashes of her fathers funeral pyre had finished burning. She wandered foreign lands studying the dark arts and searching for the power she needed to avenge her fathers death. Her quest led her to the wild lands of the Far East and she eventually settled in Soliferum and becoming the Duchess of Ortedail. Her studies in the dark arts eventually led her to secede from Soliferum and found the Grand Lodge of Lunaria, the largest center of Hermetic Learning and Ritual in the known world. One night while performing a secret ritual, she vanished. Annwn's steward found the ring ringers of both of her hands, rings still attached in a small wooden bowl inside a circle drawn out in feathers. She was never seen again.

Or was she...

Annwn was survived by her children Elric and Cormack William.

UPDATE: After three years in hiding, Annwn du Corian was captured by soldiers in Soliferum and executed.

While you rot in your cell, Viracocha zurralius, Minister of Law of Soliferum, Duke of Alanurs, visits you and says:

You are awoken by the steps of several men. The sound stops outside your door. The guards follow the trustee with official papers, "Annwn you have been found to be an enemy of the realm Soliferum and her way of life, your sentence has been past by a jury of five. Your sentence is death by hanging, death by drowning and death by fire.

Viracocha zurralius, Minister of Law of Soliferum, Duke of Alanurs, visits you and says:

Viracocha steps into your chambers."You have been treated as well as I could for the time being My Lady.""I do hope that someone will take up the faith of the Lodge someday.""May your sacred sleep be a peaceful one."Viracocha gives a slight bow then turns to leave.

========================================================================

Annwn now dead, remains as the most hated, treasonous person in the Soliferum record books. Her actions brought an end to more than 100,000 lives, raped extensive damage and in some cases entire destruction of villages, roads, and farms burnt to the ground. Furthermore, women and children died from starvation when the siege of Ortedail took place. The The Grand Lodge of Lunaria refused to surrender and as a result allowed their citizens to simply perish. Annwn before her succession conspired with former Duke Glorawarthien a friend of hers to attempt to kill the general of Soliferum. This was to aid her plan in succeeding Ortedail. The now present Prime Minister of Soliferum named Conan was also targeted to be killed but managed to escape death.

The choas Annwn spawned will never be forgotten and her very name is now banned in Ortedail lands.
