History

Hello, Im Lorrie Furion Archbane, betcha you never heard of me. But Im going to tell you the history of Fontan. Or at least what my pop passed on to me. Now Im gonna start from when my pop landed in Fontan City onboard " Winchester". And Im gonna warn ya, he has some bad memory, not really remember names and such. But generally i hope its true. Now pop stop eating those buns.

When he landed as a young man, Fontan represented honour and pride. The TLs were all loyal to Fontan. They were at war with Caligus, The battle grounds were then 3 regions west of Fontan City. Ever seen a Caligus horse, they dun really ride well, and on those plains, calvary were the key, and Fontan had some damn good calvary at that time. Those times were when Coimbra was just as strong as Fontan. Fallangard was still around, so Yssaria couldnt be born.

Caligus were brave, my pop gives them at least so much. But against the brave, honourable and loyal TL of Fontan, well they were losing regions slowly but surely. And even with Perdan in the fray half the time, well the other half they were busy fighting either Itorunt, Fallangard(Yssaria didnt like Perdan too, too much pent up feeling against them after being under siege half your life) or Sirion. And at the time they were the strongest buggers out there. Well Fontan took pride in being comparable with the strongest, they were either on par or damn close with the Praetorian, now that name strikes fear into the hearts of any soldier last time. So Caligus and half of Perdan against Fontan, and Fontan damn well almost took Domus. Well Akesh Temple was held by Fontan for awhile, and Perdan damn well didnt like it. Well my pop was the lord of Akesh Temple until it fell. And hes damn proud of that. In the end, Oligarch raiding coupled with fighting Perdan and Caligus all the way at Aestus and Aureus were realy taking their toll even with help from a young Yssaria and Fontan sued for peace. People of renown were Zedd, Mikhail and many braves who were left out. There was even a funny event, which wasnt that funny back then. The Lord of Fontan almost rebelled coz a honour guard in memory of a fallen Fontan leader was summoned to the frontline at a dangerous time. In the end, that particular Lord moved to Oligarch or Perdan or Ibladesh, i forgot which one. Pop felt that was real unnecessary as Fontan lost a real experienced and loyal TL just because of small problems.

That was one chapter of Fontan. But not the first. My pop didnt noe much about what happened b4 though.

Anyway, at that time Coimbra was left with 3 or 4 regions at that time, Evora and a few others. And some fool created Avamar from the satellite realm of W.Sirion. The regions and allies around Fontan were being crushed by the Oligarch war machine. Oligarch-Perdan raiding parties at the behest of Perdan were the last straw and Fontan joined with their allies, Sirion, OR and Coimbra versus the SA, Oligarch, Rancagua and the rogue state Avamar with their bred and born infiltrators. (OOC. Heard of North Korea) Well anyway, Coimbra were wiped clean by Oligarch and Fontan tried their best to protect Coimbra. In the end, a deal was struck at the eleventh hour and Coimbra ceded their remaining territories to Fontan. Better Fontan than Oligarch anyway. Then was the testing time of witches and warlocks who heeded the call of Avamar to destroy Fontan. My pop was very against those demons from Avamar and along with the mostly loyal Fontan TLs, they found their cells and destroyed them a couple times. But this made Fontan even stronger, and they managed to take Krimml from under Oligarch's nose. Oligarch City was even looted by Fontan or Sirion, a massive accomplishment. Fontan and their allies had the upper hand at that time. OR was at the walls of Rancangua's capital and Avamar was filled with militia as always.

My pop made Chancellor, but he went down with a dangerous ailment awhile later. The doctor said something about Avamar marsh gas. Anyway, he stopped concerning himself with the affairs of EC along with the rest of his family and retired to Mansbridge. Home of the Gomez family. Archbane is the new family name, and one day we will return.
