Gaztaseven Family

The Gaztaseven family originate from Dorton, Atamara.

Malachi

Studious and generally reserved from an early age, Malachi left Atamara to travel to the east continent, looking to expand his knowledge of the world through experience. He joined the realm of Caligus, which was under heavy attack from the southern federation at the time. He quickly adapted to a military life, but when the realm became short on bureaucrats, his natural affinity with scholarly pursuits forced him to step forward.

Eventually the war came to an end, and caligus was forced to give up several regions in return for peace. The realm became tied up in red tape, but rather than throw away the bureacratic experience he had gained, he instead moved east to join Light of Fountain. Unfortunately, there was not much work to be done there either, and in peacetime there were tournaments being held all over the continent. Malachi once again put down the pen and picked up the sword, and is currently aiding LoF in their war against Fontan.

Pelagius

Pelagius followed very closely in the footsteps of his older brother, reading and learning all he could, nontheless he had quite a different outlook on life, looking at things more philosophically than his more rigid-thinking, logical brother. Though intelligent, he was also hopelessy optimistic, and made his way to the South-East islands with the hope of convincing the warring realms to set aside their differences and live in peace.

Joining the realm of Toren, he soon found himself surrounded by desperate warriors and religious zealots alike - however, they were reasonably interesting company, and taught Pelagius the value of a good swordarm and a loyal unit - so much so that he renounced all other paths and chose to fight on the frontlines, in the name of the almighty Tor. Locked in battle for several months with the realm of Sandalak for several months, Pelagius began to forget about his previous life and dreamed of having a lordship bestowed upon him. Sandalak fell, and Toren allied themselves with Ikalak. Surely with the annexing of Taselaks regions, Pelagius would recieve the lordship he dreamed of.

However, Taselak proved to be a much more worthy foe than anticipated, and Toren were outmanouvered and outmatched on the battlefield time and time again. Pelagius kept himself in gold by borrowing from the family treasury, as Toren went through several generals and increasingly severe losses. His faith in Tor and his general demeanour darkened somewhat, as the loss of a king on the battlefield followed by infighting and jostling for position further hurt the realm. Pelagius decided it was time to leave, and travelled to join his enemies in Taselak.
