The Fianna family is a very old line going back thousands of years. The families original homeland was in Kheif on the South West Island. Though 700 years ago one brother, Kalin, moved to Minas Ithil on Atamara. He fought first as a mercenary for the king of Minas Ithil. He was knighted after he saved the kings life on the battlefield and as a reward for his service given a small plot of land. And so the Noble Fianna family was born. Now 700 years later the Fianna family calls Minas Ithil it's homeland and no memory of the South West Island remains. Except for the name...Fianna.

==Connor== Soldier

Connor is young, but disciplined and dutiful. His duty to the realm of Minas Ithil comes before all else. He follows the laws to the letter and enforces them as well. He will voice his opinion, but will follow orders even if it means the death of himself and his troops. His dutifulness is often mistaken for being extremely cold. It is also questionable as to whether or not he has ever smiled. His sense of duty will never allow him to leave Minas Ithil. After his father died and brother left Connor assumed the title of noble of the Fianna lands in Minas Ithil. Connor dresses usually found in all black, black mail, black leather and black wool. Connor wields the family great sword "Haley's kiss".

==Laoch== Hero

Laoch is the more adventurous than his younger brother Connor. Laoch was born with enough humor for two, perhaps the reason Connor has none. One almost always sees a smile on Laochs face wherever he is. He left his home after an argument with his brother about Connor's stubborness and forfeit his rights to their fathers lands. There is still anger between the two. Laoch had found a home in Ikalak on the South East Island where he has joined other honorable nobles in a fight to save the cornered realm. Unfortunately after only a few months the realm fell in the fight against Taselak and Sandalak. Unable to stay on the island where the flag that flies above the city is not that of Ikalak Laoch decided to leave the South-West. He was once considered handsome, but scars now cover part of his face from the battle for Ikalak city. Laoch carries a bastard sword he found in his father's armory when he was a child, runes are etched in the blade though no one knows what they mean.

==Nicko== Soldier

Nicko is not directly related to Connor, Laoch or Eddard and does not know them. He is from the ancient lands of the Fianna family on the South West Island. He comes from the cold southern regions known as the badlands mainly Kheif. The badlands warriors are tough and it is often said they are made of ice and iron. Headstrong, fearless and sometimes considered reckless he has agreed to fight for Taselak. Though his main concern is for the people his ancestors used to rule in Kheif. He is the first of the ancient Fianna line on the South West Island to make a name for himself. Covered in blue knotwork tattoos that are meant to protect, Nicko often goes into battle wearing only breeches. Nicko's favoite weapon is a long axe that his men have nicknamed "The butteryfly".

==Eddard== Soldier

Eddard is cousin to Laoch and Connor. He was born on a ship off the coast of Atamara and was drawn to the sea since childhood. Growing up family members used to comment that he was more fish than boy. Connor became one of the youngest if not the youngest captain of a wargalley in all of Atamara. Though before he could make a name for himself on land the Drowned god(Song of Ice and Fire reference) decided to test his luck. Off the shore of the colonies a tremendous storm crashed Eddards ship among the rocks and it went down almost instantly. True to his boyhood comparison Eddard swam through the storm to shore and rallied what was left of his men. Now in Oritolon of the colonies Eddard has decided to stay for a time, though he wishes to return to Atamara in the future.
