• Family Mansion in poor rural province of Dulbin, East Continent.

Family History:

The Ironsides Family carries a proud and legendary history, but over time they diminished and became impoverished. The last great Patriarch, Ford the Elder, on his deathbed left the crown to his eldest living son Jagur, a vulgar immoral man. Jagur wantonly practiced polygamy across the East Continent and produced an uncounted amount of bastard children. He squandered the family wealth and left the blood thin and obscure. He died of typhoid. His brother Soren, a tamer gentler man, picked up the reins and began to order the mess his brother left the family in. Soren never married and never had children; instead he alone worked the family land in Dulbin to regain the wealth and prestige of the noble family. By building a successful apiary Soren was able to earn enough to provide for the family and raise some of Jagur’s children to become Knights. His siblings did little to assist him and they lived minor lives around the family mansion in Dulbin or abroad in the East Continent, all surviving off of the honey Soren produced. He reached an advanced age before becoming one of the victims of a terrible plague that devastated the Ironsides Manor.

After Soren’s death, the best choice to become Patriarch of the Ironsides Family was Jagur’s son Armstrong, one of the Knights Soren raised to become a great and famous noble. One or two of the offspring of Ford the Elder fussed with this decision but acceded to Armstrong anyway. Their families, however, desire the Patriarch crown for their bloodline and not Jagur's. The family of Valdemar, a brother of Jagur and Soren, are known resistors to Armstrong's authority as Patriarch and Valdemar's son Magnus is an active opponent. His rise to nobility is a direct attempt to contend with Armstrong.


The Major Ironsides Families


The Offspring of Jagur

Armstrong, became the Patriarch of the Ironsides family after Soren died during the plague in the family mansion in Dulbin, East Continent. He served Fontan for a decade as the Hero of Democracy, a Lord, a Marshal, and various other activities until one day he decided to return home to Dulbin. When he first emigrated to Westmoor he was a knight of Oligarch, but now serves as the Count of Morshes. He led the Westmoorian Column as Marshal and was appointed Banker and General for short periods of time. He is a man of principles and unapologetic heroism. Armstrong married Lady Cerise in a small wedding in An Najaf before their departure from Fontan. Later, both she and their son Ford the Younger died by a terrible disease which devastated the Ironsides Manor in Dulbin.

Son of Armstrong

Ford Young, son of Armstrong and Cerise, born in Oligarch, East Continent. He was raised by his legendary father until a plague killed him, his mother, his great uncle and many other members of the Ironsides family. An omen during his birth revealed that he was destined for greatness, however this never came to pass. When he was born, the moon was full when it should not have been. This was interpreted to mean that his life would brighten darkness in some way despite natural forces.

Bowie the Black, Demon of Dwilight, was once a prominent Judge of the Grand Duchy of Fissoa. His duty as a knight earned him a tale telling of his brave unit’s final battle, known as the Legend of the Iron Toughs. He even began a family in Drowenton, a blooming life chronicled in Bowie and Arabell. Abandoning his wife, his child, his status and position, the man succumbed to avarice. Now he serves his lust for fortune, his lust for victory and most desired of all, his lust for power! A troubled villain of Dwilight. During the cursed life of the Demon Prince, he was given the revelations which heralded the conceptual religion Mysticism.

Children of Bowie

Avandor, son of Bowie and Arabell, was born in Drowenton, Dwilight. Having been raised without knowing his father, Avandor assumes his mother's story is true, that Bowie was killed in battle against monsters. He has grown into manhood and serves as a minor noble administrating the region of Drowenton.
Selena, daughter of Black Bowie and the harlot Melani, born in Port Raviel, Dwilight. She was adopted into the Stormrage Family on the day King Cenarious married Duchess Kisharianda. She was raised in the manner of the Onyxien's and now serves as an adept noble in her step-father's Kingly court.
Winter, son of Prince Bowie and a young princess of Sallowtown. Born in Sallowtown after the Crusade, Winter was raised as Sallowsian royalty despite what the tribal chiefs said. When Winter reached seventeen years old, he claimed his birthright and demanded to be made a chief. The Sallowsian tribes refused and decided to deport him instead. They raided his home during the night, captured him, stuffed him in a sack, put him in a crate, and sent him away. They felt it was better to rid their city of this rising force than have to deal with him. Arriving in Atamara, Winter vowed he would return to Dwilight to reclaim his city of Sallowtown. But first, he felt like fighting with the Vikings of Hammarsett. Winter is a wild man, fierce and strong. Though he grew up near his half-sister Selena, and the two knew of each other, they have never met. He has a devil may care ambition and once he sets his mind to something, no one can stop him. This quality, his mother says, he shares with his demon father. So much so in fact that he resigned from public life to spend the rest of his life with two ravishingly beautiful women. A few seasons later Lord Winter reemerged to public life.

Hades, an Archon Major in the Way of the Warrior Saints religion, died of pneumonia in Rotherthorpe at the age of twenty-three. He was buried in a small local ceremony beside the temple. His wife Lady Cimiko and their children, Titus and Ariadne, moved to Leohampton to be with her family. The Death of Hades records the quiet funeral.

Children of Hades

Titus and Ariadne, twins of Hades and Cimiko, born in Rotherthorpe, Atamara. Ariadne, following the faith of her father, became a priestess to the Warrior Saints, while Titus decided to become a knight and join the army.

Raphael, was raised by his uncle Soren and his eldest sibling Armstrong along with the collection of Jagur's children in Dulbin, he decided to seek out his mother in the Far East and joined the realm of C'thonia. There, he was appointed the First Captain (Vice-Marshal) of the Hammer of Thor Army by King Thain Himoura and was given the duty to wield the mighty warhammer. He soon followed his desire to fight in the Fourth Invasion of Beluaterra and emigrated there to do so. In a massive defense of the city of Fengen against monsters, Raphael the Master Poet, at the young age of twenty, was killed. His remains were never found in the ruined city. By his youth, he was immature, sensitive, and disliked violence against humans. He was committed to defeating the inhumans and rescuing Beluaterra from the scourge (monsters, demons, Netherwold). He also believed that the mind was the source of nobility not the sword. He fancied himself a poet.


The Offspring of Valdemar

Magnus, son of Valdemar and cousin to the Jagur offspring. Magnus is a noble of Ibladesh and actively opposes Armstrong as the Patriarch of the Ironsides Family. He desires to bring enough glory and prestige to his name to prove his family worthy of the Patriarch crown. After a short time spent in the city of Ibladesh, Magnus scoffed the fickle nature of the East Continent's nobility and retreated back to his estate in Dulbin. Heeding the call of Ramsus, Magnus returned to the field of Ibladesh!

The Commoner Appendage

Novgorod, son of Jagur and a commoner. His mother emigrated from the East Continent back to her family's farm in Hetland, Beluaterra after Jagur moved on. She died when Novgorod was twenty years old. He then left the farm and began a life of adventuring. He is the discoverer of the ancient unique item, the Old Armour of the Kings, which brought death on him. At the age of twenty-seven, Novgorod was executed by Sir Kayne II Himoura, Executioner of Netherworld, Duke of Fianik, Marshal of the Legion Of Chaos in the city of Fianik. Lord Kayne stole the Old Armour of the Kings after robbing and torturing the poor peasant and before feeding him to ravenous dogs.
