Nobles of the Lanze Family

Kalte Lanze

Full Name: Kalte Lanze

Actual Age: 38

Gender: Male

Marital Status: Single (And Ready to Mingle)

Current Title(s): Diadochi of Nothoi

Former Title(s): Sophos of Nothoi, Baron of Xinjin, Baron of Ar Raqqah,

Status: Alive

History & Information

Kalte Lanze could be best described as your typical 'north woods' nobleman. Being born and raised in such a rural, northerly location led to him growing fond of sports like hunting and of course ale drinking. Though certainly could not contend with even an average noble of the Barony of Makar, he certainly knows how to handle his alcohol.

Kalte Lanze is not the most 'noble' of nobles and can be rather rough around the edges. He is known to flirt or fraternize with enemy nobles of the opposite gender and even commoners when on campaign. While in service to the Ibladesh Theocracy, Kalte and his men looted the city of Aix in search of women and came across a rare artifact known as the Spiked Dagger of Bloodletting. This weapon served him for quite awhile after its discovery and went with him on many more looting campaigns. He could be seen with it sheathed to his belt while 'rounding up' many peasant women in his younger days.

Before the fall of Ibladesh, internal strife and disagreement with several nobles of the Theocracy led to his leaving willfully to the continent of Beluaterra to aid in the battle against the demons. Serving under several realms while battling the horrors of Hell, Kalte had seen many things he would wish not to describe. He had been captured by the Demon Lord and tortured on three separate occasions, multiple times in fact. The man would remain a broken shell of a man for a great while after such tortures, but ultimately continued the fight for his realm of Nothoi and humanity as a whole. His efforts would eventually lead to him being elected as Sophos of Nothoi and later Baron of Xinjin where he continues to serve even at his advancing age. Though the man is only thirty-eight years of age, his many battles and experienced often leave him feeling ten or twenty years older than he really is and he has slowed down some because of it.



Eviera Lanze

Full Name: Eviera Lanze

Actual Age: 27

Gender: Female

Marital Status: Single

Current Title(s): Grandmistress of the Morek Empire, Duchess of Donghaiwei, Margravine of Donghaiwei

Former Title(s): Countess of Nidhogg's Mark, Marchioness of Donghai, Coffermistress of the Morek Empire

Status: Alive

History & Information

Eviera is a quiet, beautiful young lady who would in most cases rather keep her opinions to herself rather than risk a confrontation that might upset balance and order within her realm. She has been known to silently 'protest' anything she deems dangerous in very subtle ways which often have little to no real affect, but also do not add to the turmoil. Serving the Morek Empire since she started her career, Eviera has made a name for herself as a very competent Courtier capable of handling even the dirtiest and most difficult of tasks. She has been praised by fellow nobles in her realm for carrying for regions in the farthest reaches of the empire which eventually led to her being appointed as Countess of Nidhogg's Mark, a backwater at the time that had constant issues with anarchists due to its lack of proximity to the empire's capital.

After the capital city moved to Muspelheim from Donghaiwei, Eviera found herself receiving the more prestigious title of Marchioness in the townsland region of Donghai. However, this region also was known for its separatist movements since the city of Donghaiwei was no longer the capital and now the seat of government sat very far away on the other side of the empire. Eviera would continue to earn a name for herself for not only managing and maintaining her own rebellious region, but greatly expanding its economy and also managing the other regions of the empire while their lords were away. Eviera would continue to keep to herself while gaining more renown and appreciation by the military and government nobles of the empire.

Eventually, her own beloved Duke would abdicate, leading to another Duke being appointed as well as his eventual abdication as well. This eventually led to a rather significant discussion within the realm's inner council as to who should become the next Duke of the Donghaiwei duchy. This shift of power would give way to a bit of a rivalry between Eviera and another popular, though newer noble in the realm, Lord Helm Altenahr who had much more military experience than Eviera but lacked an understanding or knowledge of all she had done for the realm before his joining. Eviera would eventually win the seat of Duchess due to popular support and the backing of the realm's Grandmaster Ingi Vlad.

Eviera has since found her challenging position even more challenging with many more tasks and responsibilities sapping her limited time. However, she has pulled through and continues to do so with great determination. The city of Donghaiwei and the duchy as well continues to prosper under her leadership and the realm in general has also experienced improvement with her service. Eviera couldn't see herself working or living in any other realm.



Balkrom Lanze

Full Name: Balkrom Lanze

Actual Age: 31

Gender: Male

Marital Status: Single

Current Title(s): None

Former Title(s): Baron of Beleriel, Baron of Lothruin

Status: Alive

History & Information

Balkrom is a very noble creature. The act and art of chivalry runs deep in the blood and veins of this man and he would never sway in any direction that led him off of the path of a Cavalier, a role in which he takes very seriously. Though it is one thing for a noble to view peasants as equals, Balkrom doesn't come too far from doing so by his actions alone. He would willingly send his men and himself into danger to save a village from a horde of bandits, monsters, or even enemy soldiers if it meant saving a few lives. As with all Cavaliers, the man will not engage foes off of the battlefield, as to him it is not considered an act that has any honor or merit to it.

The Cavalier started his career in Tara, but found himself and his region traded away to the realm of Coria, where he continues to serve to this day. He has served as the baron of the regions of Beleriel and Lothruin, both of which he had been appointed to while each region was under great peril due to the harsh realities of war. Beleriel was looted to the ground by soldiers from various enemy realms during one of Coria's many wars. Despite his best efforts in rebuilding the region, however, the peasants on several occasions overthrew the government and kicked him out as baron. Balkrom could do nothing to prevent this, even after surrendering all of his time and devoting himself entirely to the peasants there. The same though would eventually happen to him in Lothruin, after being elected to the war ravaged region, all of his efforts to aid the people of the region were for not and he was again kicked out by the unruly hordes.

Despite his track record with common folk, he still views them as people, and lives worth saving. Though they are obviously beneath him, they are in his eyes (unlike with most nobles), considered to be of higher value than cattle or property and he continues to serve them and especially his comrades in arms within the realm of Coria to this day.



Sythia Lanze

Full Name: Sythia Lanze

Actual Age: 26

Gender: Female

Marital Status: Single

Current Title(s): Baroness of Unotosa

Former Title(s): None

Status: Alive

History & Information

A very short, lithe woman who at first glance would not look threatening or intimating at all, even to the most cowardly of male warriors. Sythia, however, makes up for her size with an extremely fierce and violent attitude toward any and all enemies whom she all hates indiscriminately. Sythia's men often will do everything they can to stay as clear of her as possible lest ordered otherwise or she is in need of saving on the field of battle. All of the men under her also know to never call her 'short', for some of the more experienced members of her unit tell tales of what happened to the last man who said that to her.

Sythia can be a bit short tempered, but her temper can be subsided quickly if she is given the opportunity to fight and spill a little blood. It is very common to see her within the army of her realm Arcaea leading a unit of 70 or more fierce infantry wielding and wearing the finest weapons and armor gold can buy. To Sythia, each and every one of them are expendable and can be replaced at the drop of a hat for a few coins. Despite her totalitarian ways, however, her unit is also known to have a rather high survival rate. It is fabled that more men in her unit die by her hands than by the swords and spears of the enemy. This is most likely just a tale, however.

As Viscountess of Unotosa, she is known by the peasants for her tenacity, but she is not completely unfair. Though she rules over them with an iron fist, she also keeps the villages protected and attacks by bandits are extremely rare. When they do happen, however, the peasants usually find the heads of these thugs spiked on the end of a pike on the outskirts of the villages in which they raided very soon. Sythia is respected and feared by those under her command and is ruthless and fierce to her enemies. Meeting her in the field of battle is sure to be an interesting scenario regardless of the file outcome.



Feyrian'faa Lanze

Full Name: Feyrian'faa Lanze

Actual Age: 41

Gender: Female

Marital Status: Single

Current Title(s): None

Former Title(s): None

Status: Unknown

History & Information

Feyrian'faa is an older noble woman who isn't well known in the realm of Caligus where she served. The woman is even something of an enigma to her own family as she tends to be a shut in and prefers to keep to herself. Some say she has spent some time meddling with magic and other unknown or frowned upon arts, but no one has ever been able to prove any of this to be true.

Her service to Caligus, though brief, has raised a brow or two amongst members of her own family and even some nobles outside of her family. While she served Caligus, her cousin Kalte Lanze had just finished his service in Ibladesh, having left due to disagreements with members within the realm as the realm slowly was ground beneath the heels of Perdan and Caligus. Some say she may have joined with Caligus as a means to get revenge on those within Ibladesh that led to her cousin's departure. However, those with much more knowledge on the matter know that she clearly had no regard for her cousin and viewed him as a slacker and a womanizer. Perhaps she joined with Caligus so that she might fight her cousin openly and disguise her efforts to do away with him as mere diplomacy between the two of their realms? Since she had retired fairly early in her career, no one really knows for sure.

No one knows to this day what she is currently doing.



Shinaya Lanze

Full Name: Shinaya Lanze

Actual Age: 47

Gender: Female

Marital Status: Single

Current Title(s): None

Former Title(s): None

Status: Unknown

History & Information

Very little is known about this aged noble woman. She is said to have read many books related to shamanism, medicine, and other strange arts while serving on in the Far East for a brief time. She has since retired from her career, presumably to continue her studies in peace and quiet.

Kurizki

Full Name: Kurizki Lanze

Actual Age: 46

Gender: Female

Marital Status: Single

Current Title(s): None

Former Title(s): None

Status: Presumed Dead

History & Information

A witch doctor or medicine woman by trade, Kurizki was first noticed by nobles on the continent of Beluaterra either collecting various reagents for unknown uses or on rare occasion using her many elixirs, posions, and salves to battle monsters and undead throughout the land.

Kurizki's knowledge of plant and animal parts has led her to stave off aging to a degree and she looks younger than she really is. Some even tell tall tales that she is an immortal creature of unknown origin that is actually thousands of years old, but is capable of using her knowledge of alchemy and herbalism to, or perhaps even spellcraft, to ward off the aging process. These are just tales, however.

Kurizki has been known to have commoner and noble customers. She has traded so called 'scrolls' and various artifacts to nobles. She even dabbled somewhat in the information trade.

She was one day tasked with the job of locating a source of a mysterious nature on the continent of Beluaterra and is credited by some as being the first to predict the coming demonic invasion. However, she was last seen entering an old crypt in search of reagents where it is said that a great undead creature finished her off with a quick thrust to the chest with a rusty blade. Whether or not Kurizki is actually dead, however, remains a mystery as her body was never found. Other adventurers and commoners however, conclude that her body may have been consumed by the creature that killed her. It is quite possible the truth may never be known, however.

Seyio

Full Name: Seyio Alvarez

Actual Age: 29

Gender: Male

Marital Status: Unknown

Current Title(s): None

Former Title(s): None

Status: Alive

History & Information

Seyio Alvarez is a mysterious individual who resides in the city of Donghaiwei. When he comes out into the city streets he often wears a cloak which conceals more than half of his face. Adventurers and commoners have occasionally come to him for information on the Duchess, Eviera, since he is known to have a great deal of information on her whereabouts and current operations. Nobody knows how this intel comes into contact with him but some have begun to theorize that he is some kind of stalker and specializes on the Duchess. It is quite possible that he has followed her since the start of her career as a Courtier within the Morek Empire since nobles in her position have need for much fewer men or body guards, making it much easier to follow these nobles.

Seyio Alvarez can often be found near the bounty boards in the city, thumbing a gold coin through his fingers with his gaze turned downward. He is often happy to provide bounty hunters and adventurers seeking to take out a few undead or monsters with information as to where they can find these creatures - or the Duchess herself, should they prefer.
