Bluelake Family
The House
The Bluelake Family has its roots in Menedor, Atamara, as farmers and horse-raisers. Many generations ago, Monty Bluelake joined the menedorian militia, and grew within, until he found himself an old man training the new recruits. Since then, it has been family tradition to train soldiers for war. For a long time, Charles Bluelake ran the property with his lively wife Miriam, making it a place of joy and fun, where you could see men and women working and training, then gathering in the sunset for a couple of hours of music and games. They had three children of their own, two raised girls and one young boy. The mother, Miriam, was related to the Bluecloud Family, as her sister left Menedor to marry a far away noble. These two families were bonded by blood and love. It has long been since the three children left home to fend for themselves. Their lives were varied. Ilya was the last Queen of Falasan, Vanya was Pasha in the Sultanate of Asena, Aeric was a hero in Darka. Then came their downfalls, one by one, and the Bluelakes were never heard of again. Their children were raised by distant relatives or friends, and the manor in Menedor was abandoned to ruins during the long war that destroyed Falasan.
In late 2012, the Bluelake family manor in Menedor has finally collapsed. The few remnants of the family were scattered around the world and one of their homes was chosen as the new manor. Perhaps the family glory will be reestablished someday and a heroic relative will be able to rebuild the manor. For now, its location is unknown.

The Members
Ilya Bluelake
| Persona | Position |
|---|---|
| Just | Falasan |
| Mentor | Queen |
Queen and Ambassador of Falasan
Raised to be the heir of the family, when her brother was born she did not gave up the military training and decided to serve the realm as a knight. Holds a deep loyalty towards Falasan, and, over time, learned to control her temper, growing to be a calm and respectful woman. Believes in honor and compassion. Currently married to Willem Tinsley, with whom she has two children. For some time during the war against Cagilan Empire, Talerium and Tara, Ilya was Queen of her beloved realm, and became an Ambassadress under King Tuscano when she left the throne. After a long war, Barad Falas left the realm for Cagilan Empire, and with the city, so left King Tuscano. Ilya raised to the throne, seeking to stablish peace. With her son's sickness, she left, allowing Willem to take the task of signing a complicated surrender. A few months later, she was once again bound to take the role of ruling Queen, as her husband left to take care of his very sick father.
Vanya Bluelake
| Persona | Position |
|---|---|
| Warrior | Asena |
| Warrior | Dame |
Dame of Kazan
Was the youngest of the family for a while, and has always lived very close to her older sister. After she engaged a life of her own in Taselak, she was also trying to find out who she really is. Vanya was always brightly humoured, and acquired a taste for ale. Events brought her to the Sultanate of Asena, where war came to unfold. After some romance, an accidental child and a busy time as Pasha, she settled as Baroness of Kazan, while the Sultanates does its best to survive. She now serves as Baron Rickhart's knight, enjoying the freedom of a simple warrior again.
Aeric Bluelake
| Persona | Position |
|---|---|
| Righteous | Darka |
| Hero | Knight |
Knight of Clintoc
The youngest son of Charles and Miriam Bluelake (around 10 years younger than Ilya), Aeric was supposed to have stayed at home and taken care of the family's estate, becoming the new head of the family. However, he longed to become a warrior like his childhood hero, Lasten Merytis, and escaped home to join the forces of Darka. There, he is learning how to be a warrior within the famous Foxhounds. His fancy ways, cheerful disposition for a fight and not at all a bad looking face made the people (or should we say, the girls) grant him the status of a hero.
The End
I should thank loads of people for their help in building lay-outs, since I basically adapted many of them to build the genealogy tree, the tables... So thank you. I can't actually recall all of you. Always under construction. Bluelake
