Delamoire Family
Contents
Origin of Delamoire Family
The Delamoire Family has lived in Karbala since the Dark Era, though much of the information of this era is lost after the fall of the Spider Queen Luciferase. Few records in the Delamoire family archives trace back to a woman named Nelrina Ra Moire, a Mistress within the Cult of Spiders. The records of this time indicate that in some capacity she was trusted by Luciferase, and during this period she was given lands in Karbala and so the noble line of Delamoire was established.
Nelrina married shortly thereafter to a roguish commoner named Zylem Alhriem who had gained a reputation among the commoners as dangerous sword for hire that people hired to silence political opponents.
Nelrina and Zylem were known to have three children. Their eldest was their daughter Ristarra Delamoire, who preceded the other children by five years, and was known to be clever early on and then considered mad as she aged. The middle child was Sir Coryn, and was the ideal balance between Nelrina and Zylem, charming and strong. Though, as fortune had it, Sir Coryn was killed in the Shadow King's war. The youngest child was Rys, who had all the fierceness of his parents, but also all the mischief. Rys consistently spent his time in and out of jail cells and on the run for his involvement in rebellions and idealistic criminal activity.
Family Tree
Ristarra's Children
Vilaine Delamoire
Allegiance: Shadowdale on East Continent
Title(s): Knight, Vice Marshall of the Shadow Legion
Estate: Grey University in Karbala
Background
Vilaine is the eldest child of Ristarra Delamoire, and as his mother's condition worsened and her reputation of madness spread, Vilaine was left to raise his brother and sisters at a young age. When he was 9, Ristarra was apprehended by the medics for treatment an analysis, putting Vilaine responsible for his three sisters and two brothers. The added responsibility required Vilaine to mature much faster than most children and by his early teens Vilaine was a pessimistic and serious sort that rarely smiled.
When his mother, Ristarra, returned from the hospitals five years later when Vilaine was 14, there was a fight between the two. Vilaine, afterward, left Karbala and joined in a Knight Brotherhood under a foreign Lord of Dwilight. During his time serving under the foreign Lord, Vilaine became a Captain and quickly earned a reputation as a strong and cunning strategist. As fate would have it, however, being clever could not overcome sheer numbers.
The foreign Lord fell along with his armies, though Vilaine and a few other of the loyal knights survived. With the armies dispersed, peace negotiations quickly came into place and Vilaine found himself without proper employment. He sold what trinkets he had been awarded and returned to Karbala, the seat of his Family's power, and joined the army of the Shadow King. When Sir Vilaine informed his mother, Ristarra, of his decision to join the armies of the Shadow King, she had wailed briefly, and has not spoken since.
Physical Description
Vilaine is hardened beyond his years with a strong jawline and stern brow. The right side of his face bears the scar of what appears to be claws from right ear to chin, narrowly missing the grey of the mismatched grey and green eyes. He is clean shaven with dirty blonde hair kept short and parted to the side.
The nobleman stands only 5'8" tall but has a strong physique and broad shoulders. His dress is not lavish and often consists of deep brown and forest green. He wears no jewelry or trinkets save a small pendant of a black rose around his neck. When prepared for battle he wears leather with a steel breastplate, pauldrons, and gauntlets.
A great sword with a black scabbard and matching hilt wrapped in black leather is either close by, or carried over his shoulder.
Vilaine is a man of few words and rarely smiles. He has a seriousness that exceeds his age and often indicates he's a realist and has no time for pleasantries.

Emilia Delamoire
Allegiance: Lux Nova on Beluaterra
Title(s): Dame
Estate: Midtown in Jidington
Background
Physical Description
Emilia had long and angled features with fair skin and platinum blonde hair. Her hair was long enough to drape over thin shoulders, but with bangs cut to frame her thin features to the angled jaw line. Her forest green eyes were angled with thin brows and dark lashes which were perfectly symmetrical on either side of a thin nose that led to full red lips.
She was slender and only 5'5" tall but thought herself over 10' tall which shined through her aloof posture and fearlessness. She preferred well embroidered bodices in deep reds or purples and would accent it fitting black breaches and silver pins and matching rings. Emilia was proper in her tone and etiquette, but rarely wore dress or catered to others. She was a noble woman, but house Delamoire was a matriarchy from the age of the Spider Queen of Shadowdale

Rys' Children
Sibéal Delamoire
Allegiance: Westgard on Dwilight
Title(s): Dame
Estate: Sumer's Repose in Gelene Outskirts
Background
Physical Description
Thin boned and petite, Sibéal was always the overlooked family member. She has long wavy red hair, a "v" shaped jaw, and thin pale red lips. Her eyes are a bright green accented by her fair freckled cheeks. Only standing 5'4" tall, Sibéal's stature contradicts her spirit, which seems to erupt from her suddenly and unexpectedly.
She prefers deep greens and golds in her attire, but often is marred with scuffs and tears from her rowdy nature. She carries a certain amount of pride around her battle gear, and often wears her mixture of chain and thin plate armor, which only accents the vibrancy of bright hair and pale skin.
Her voice pitch is mild and her tone often excited. Contrary to her intent, she often speaks first, and thinks later, her passion preceding reason in all affairs.
She may be small, but defiant.
