Tempest Family/Sol
Judge Sol Tempest
The weather on Beluaterra was an amazing miracle, an unstoppable force of nature. One moment you could be enjoying yourself in the sun, letting the warm light melt away the coldness in your bones. Then, in a matter of seconds, dark clouds gathered out of nowhere. A deafening thunder was merely the prelude of a majestic symphony of wild noises. Lightning so bright even blind people could see it. Wind able to blow the clothes right off your body. And when it started raining, it was as if it wouldn't stop until all sins were washed away from the face of the planet. But as sudden as it started, it would end. The sun would break through the clouds, birds resumed their songs. As if nothing ever happened.The storm Jheda witnessed was fierce and terrifying, an unrelenting force able to claim your life without hesitation. But by the Gods, was she beautiful. An elegant flower in fields of weed. He was drawn to her, like a moth to the light, inevitable and for reasons unknown. - Jheda Orobar

Age 17
Shortly after her 17th birthday while out dealing with some monsters nearby the family estate a group of villagers attacked the family home, killing her parents and burning the manor while chanting "kill the witch." Upon returning home she saw the carnage and learned what transpired. Sol with her longtime friend and mentor Captain Andred set to the nearby village and in a blaze of anger and fury burned it all to the ground. Sol had always had a good sense of justice until this point, but the actions of the ignorant villagers shifted her morals and view of the world in an instant.
With nothing remaining of her home she left Yipinalke with Andred and went forward to make a new path through life. By some chance or fate she met up with her former childhood friend Svari Storme, who she hadn't seen for years. Svari now a Warlord of the Sanguine Order under Lord Xlair Silverblade brought her into the fold, and Sol took his blood oath, swearing her magic and blade as his.
Upon the succession of Vordul Sanguinis from Thalmarkin her new Emperor Xlair Silverblade saw fit to grant her The Agony Heights district of Wudenkin as reward for her service. Sol would work diligently to restore Agony Heights while lending her expertise to the rest of Wudenkin. Lady Tempest would take a short reprieve from her work to attend the Tourney at Reeds. Arriving just in time to take part Sol had a poor showing. Only making it to round two of the sword and round one of the joust. It wasn't all for naught however as she did manage to break a lance on her opponent and gained valuable experience. Returning to Wudenkin Lady Tempest would be called to help subjugate Ippetimbal into the Empire. After the successful takeover of the region Xlair would do some restructuring which saw Seneschal Azizah Daris rise to the rank of Duchess of Vordul Sanguinis and Margravine of Wudenkin. Azizah saw fit to reward Sol for her loyalty and service and raised Lady Tempest to landed nobility granting her the region of Ippetimbal.
Age 18
Sol, now Baroness Tempest would take residence within Ippetimbal's lone ruined castle despite her young age. She would set out to better hone her survey skills by mapping out her newly acquired land before taking a reprieve to attend the tourney at Unger. Still very much a novice her showing was similar to the tourney at Reed, making it to the second round of the joust instead of the sword this time. However the trip provided a significant opportunity, Sol was able to personally meet Queen Bae Blue of Thalmarkin and bond with the royal over their shared mother country.
Upon returning to the Empire of Vordul Sanguinis Baroness Sol would further her cartographer craft, mapping Xerus for Warlord Svari and its current lord. She would also hold her first court to become acquainted with her subjects in Ippetimbal including her new Knight Ser Godfrey Greybrook. It wouldnt be long before the Warlord and Emperor would require even more of the young Baroness, as they saw fit to proclaim her Vice-Marshal of the Crimson Legion.
Age 19
Baroness Sol Tempest now a commanding officer in the Crimson Legion overhauls the chain of command and the legion to better serve her Emperor and protect the Empire. Her knight Ser Godfrey would also become Bloodsworn and draw attention from from the Emperor Xlair Silverblade who tasked Ser Godfrey with subjugating Iknopata and founding a faith to worship the Emperor. Baroness Sol would assist her loyal knight in his quest and see him rise to the rank of Baron.
Shortly after Sol would make a trip for the Tourney at Iato. While in the city training up a most flow plot to overthrow the Emperor was discovered and with the slew of threats unleashed Lady Tempest departed Iato before the tournament took place to prepare for an onslaught.... that never came as the traitors threats proved empty.
While serving the Empire Sol would be dealt a few blows that would change her fate within Vordul Sanguinis. Unbeknownst over why she started to lose favor with the council. Even worse her childhood friend, and Warlord Svari Storme went missing. With her life turned upside down Sol would renounce her Lordship of Ippetimbal and part ways with the Empire to find refuge in Nothoi.
Age 20
Not having been a noble of Nothoi for yet a day Sol found herself marching off to a new war against Thalmarkin. Lady Tempest had some reservations about fighting her former realm and home but wanted to show her support for her new home in earnest. She marched with the Fang of the White Wolf to remove Ossmat from Thalmarkin.
Despite serving her new realm loyally Sol would never feel at place in Nothoi and never be accepted as one of them. Saying her farewells to the only friend she made in Nothoi Senator Rufus Exterus she made her way home to Thalmarkin despite still being at war with the realm. The Duke of Jedinchel Dancer Rea took Sol in despite the circumstances.
Sol would find herself fitting in well within Thalmarkin. Most of her Kin welcomed her back openly which was very refreshing compared to last 3 years of her life. Lady Tempest would be throw off however when one day she quite literally charged into Rob Storme, Svari's little brother.
Having taken Rob as her new squire to mentor the young lost knight Sol found the position for Judge of Thalmarkin up for election due to a heinous attack on the former Judge Athena Leather by Adolphus Schwarzherzig. Wishing to serve her home is even greater capacity Lady Tempest ran and won the prestigious title of Judge as Thalmarkin. The first week would prove a trail by fire in her new role as both her liege was taken prisoner by Irondale and the criminal Adolphus was taken prisoner by Thalmarkin.
Right before her first real battle serving Thalmarkin Judge Sol would execute Adolphus for his many crimes against the realm, some of which he boastfully admitted to himself making it all to easy to prove his guilt of attempted murder. Judge Tempest would go on to bring various regions back to proper levels on control all the while serving the war effort to protect the realm.
Age 21
Sol would continue to discharge within a Thalmarkin embroiled by war. Seeing the election of yet another monarch, Queen Anyte, Lady Tempest would swear her allegiances to the crown once again. It wouldn't be long before Sol and judge of Thalmarkin would come head to head with her very own liege, Duke Dancer for breaking the law.
With Duke Dancers Judgement passed down Judge Tempest would reform Thalmarkins Right's and Law to match with the current times and her own sense of justice.
Implementation of the new law would go slowly as nobles of Thalmarkin continued their petty squabbles. One, Count Carson would be fould guilty and punished for extortion of the realm and delectation of duty. He was punished for his crime when when he tried to avoid the punishment he must of taken his own life rather than pay his fines.
Just before her 22nd birthday Queen Anyte would be attacked by an assassin from Irondale. Sol would make a plea to the Dark Mistress to save Anyte's life and with the help of Dancer and Rob see their Queen saved. However she would have to deal with a usurper to the throne before she could reclaim the crown.
