Vita Family
Descended from the broken Bishamon Family.
Hamilton
East Island
In under three and a half hour of arriving in Itorunt, Queen Morgana Lefanis had placed Hamilton Vita upon the Military Council. Within days, he was an ambassador. And in a matter of a few more days, he had refounded the Itorunt Informer. Within a month, he was Duke of Itorunt and began his plan to regain its glory.
However, he and Grand Marshal Epaminondas started a serious of arguments that resulted in a duel. As is usual, insults flew from Hamilton's pen with such gems as "Your impotence on the battlefield is only matched by your experience in bed, so my spies report. Finally, I will serve Itorunt by ensuring your corpulent mother is chained to the walls of Itorunt City as another level of fortification!". He wrote it quite quickly. In retrospect, he meant "inexperience in bed". Shortly before the duel, he ordered all the rulers of East Continent to kill Caligus for their decades of treachery and betrayal.
Insanity
Surviving the duel, Hamilton began to lose support within Itorunt. Ibladesh soon sacked Itorunt City, and Hamilton was lost to the depths of insanity. Eventually convinced Regina Morgana was undermining his power, he seceded to form the Protectorate of Obsidian Islands and launched a tournament with confused reasons(celebrate Caligus' Death, his wedding to Kaylan McDowell, the victory of Obsidian Islands etc.). During the coming days as ruler of the Protectorate of Obsidian Islands, his policies made little sense and he continually insulted fellow rulers.
Succumbing to a cold for a few days, the Itorunt City was lost to rogue forces and Hamilton fled north to Akesh Temple, where he found a claim. Suspiciously, the family lost thousands of gold around this time. Upset by his inquiry into Sanctus Acies' belief regarding the Cult of Kaylan, he sacked their temple twice and closed it. This destroyed formerly excellent control, morale, and loyalty of the stronghold. Stepping down, he appointed Randwulf Driscol as Duke and then exiled himself. It was at this point, a split personality began to appear. The stronghold eventually went rogue and he found himself in Ibladesh, where he was banned. Next, he joined Fontan where Supreme Justice Duncan Atreides abused his power by banning Hamilton without a trial, as was law of Fontan.
Upon the ban's completion he joined Westmoor, where he was finally accepted, though often humorously mocked. His lord was Gregor Relak, someone Hamilton considered a friend from the days of the Confederacy. Hamilton's evidence was used in the banning of Monte Cristo(formerly Highguard) Tezokian from Westmoor. In a tournament held to honor Westmoor's first Queen, Evangeline Uceek, he outbought all with regard to rounds of alcohol. And he drank a round of each of his own, making him quite the fool. When the tournament finished, Guis'wa TithOnanka of Fontan(beating Kenarth Anaris of Perdan in swordsmanship) thanked Hamilton for getting the opposition drunk. Hamilton replied with a demand for a share of the prize, but has not yet received it, furthering the insult from Fontan. Meanwhile, Screndt of Perdan beat Malek of Caligus in jousting.
His lord, Gregor Relak, became Duke of Westmoor. Banker of Westmoor Kerwyn Steele became Count of Morshes, whom appointed Hamilton Vita Pastry Baker of Morshes. Hamilton has used this position to his benefit with pushing to see rum cakes become the new Westmoorian currency.
Jefferson
Second Melite Experience
In a trial against One Rogala, Jefferson was unfairly, and abusively, banned for heresy twice by One Rogala(ooc: OOC ban abuse by Josh Rogala). Meanwhile, One Rogala was declared a public enemy of Melhed and to be executed upon capture. Jefferson left to teach new nobility in Sirion in a self-imposed exile, but he couldn't stay away and quickly returned to Melhed. During his time in Sirion, he did learn of his brother's insane exploits and was deeply embarrassed.
Upon returning, he saw the rebuilding of the Senate and Old Melhed. Two weeks back into Melhed and he was elected Senator of Tepmona, a region he has long been associated with. Within a week, he founded the Institute of Diplomacy, a guild devoted to increasing ambassador communication and offering services teaching diplomatic skills and resolving disputes. He is also working with Consuasor Marc's Assassin's Guild.
Monarchists Rebel
Cypreana Rossini launched a rebellion to turn Melhed into a monarchy and succeeded. While opposing the rebellion, Jefferson remained neutral. He was quite upset with the arrest of a priest that damaged Melhed and nearly saw it internally collapse due to the monarchists' greed. The rebellion succeeded due to the ironic failure of their reasoning. They said Melhed did nothing, but it succeeded because Melhed was busy assisting Thalmarkin with its rogues. They said Melhed did nothing, but those senators who did join the rebellion never voted or discussed any issues themselves. Upon the rebellion's success, Jefferson began to devote himself to his guilds moreso.
Sejieda
Libero Empire
His fiance returned and his duke gave him a most enticing offer. Meanwhile, Donghaiwei seceded to form Xinhai, leaving Morek without their original duchy, but the duchy of secularists. This significantly changed their political orientation. Eventually, Duke Sammael's offer came to existence with the foundation of Libero Empire, a realm whose history Sejieda has kept chronicled. With the empire, he moved from marshal to Field Marshal. It was shortly after this that it was announced that Alanya Costella was his fiance; soon afterward, Sejieda helped his lover become Queen of Libero Empire. At this point he became the Royal Marshal.
He first oversaw the war against Morek with an empasis on marshals conducting it themselves. However, after supreme disappointment with Marshal Kniva Gothicus' attack against Nifelhold, he pressured him to step down, but left it to the marshal's own choice. Later, Sejieda oversaw the war effort by Libero Empire against Xinhai. After a poor battle due to confusing orders and poor settings by Marshal Hawk Vozah, Sejieda was pressured into taking more action into his hands. After attempting to coordinate with allies(Raivan Empire and Aquilegia), who were uncooperative, Libero Empire left the war. Sejieda began overseeing the expansion of Libero Empire to bolster its own strength. It was now he began to put more responsibility within the marshals' hands.
Kylaine
Returning to her family's ancestral homeland, she began to make many friends amongst the nobility of the Cagilan Empire and was even honored enough to gain a vassalship in her family's old home of Alaise. From there, she began to spread the message of Naicatoism within the empire and abroad, at the final tournament of Duke Zog of Chocxal in Talerium. Duke Zog died days later. Meanwhile, Earl Fulco, a fellow believer in the Naicato, built an Academy of the Naicato to serve as an institution of learning for believers and non-believers alike. Kylaine serves as the Messenger of the Naicato, transmitting their teachings to the nobility.
Fame
The Vita family is a continuation of the Bishamon Family, but their fame must be reacquired in order to prove themselves. (OOC: As a member of the development team, I can't record the fame in the same way as others because it would give knowledge of fame away.)
- Jefferson: 9 individual, 3 family
- Hamilton: 5 individual, 3 family
- Sejieda: 4 individual, 3 family
- Total: 21
- Game officially says 23, but 2 are bugs.
