Family History

A Long, very long time ago there was a man called Ares, from Irneas. Ares was a man of honor. Everything what he promised, did he. Ares lived in the old time of Sartania where war was only a legend. Ares thought that he could do everything what he wanted to do, because there was no war and nothing that would stand in his way. He wanted to do things that prohibited by the old king of Sartania. That was having sex before you had married with someone and you could not marry with someone of an another belief. Two things that Ares wanted to do before he would die. So he travelled to the city Remton and went to a bar. There was only siting an ugly woman, so he take a beer and went outside. Ares walked along the streets of Remton and were surprised. There was a splendid woman at the well. He went to her for a talk and that finished in a delicious night.

The next morning asked Ares the woman, Minerva at marriage. Minerva did not know if she was ready for it, but Ares doesn't gave up. After a couple weeks together in Remton are Minerva and Ares really in love on each other. Ares think that Minerva is ready for it and ask her at marriage. This time was the answer of Minerva ' YES '.

But Ares could not marry in Remton, because that belonged not to Sartania. And if he wouldn't marry in Sartania then Ares could not ignore the rules of the king. So he and Minerva travelled to Niel to find a priest who wanted to engaged them. Ares were not choosy with choosing a priest. He want that everyone knew that he would marry with someone from Arcaea. Ares hoped that he would be betrayed to the king.

Ares found a priest who will help them. They travelled to Irneas to keep there the wedding. Then the king got this to hear and he was furiously. He could not understand how someone dared not stick it to his rules. And if he does nothing, that will make do this him at ridiculous, because approximately knew the complete realm of this wedding.

On the wedding the king appeared. There happened nothing. The king will sit quietly and the wedding started. The priest told what were told on each wedding consequence by a kiss. Ares and Minerva kissed each other and gave each other a ring. Minerva belonged now to Sartania and Ares had made the rules of the king ridiculous.

Ares, Minerva and the priest were arrested. They sat in the prison for three days. Afterwards the judge had spoken concerning their sentence. The priest got 10 years prison sentence, Minerva was extradited to Arcaea and Ares got the death penalty.

Many citizens of Niel and Irneas found that Ares had much courage to contradict the king with his actions. Thousands of citizens stood for the castle of the king and shouted that Ares, Minerva and the priest had be released. The king ignored his people and arose there a civil war. The king wasn't prepared for this. It only thin he had was a small army with bad arms. He never had a war before and he also doesn't knew what he had to do. Only what he knew is that he would lose it against those thousands of citizens, so he released Ares, Minerva and the priest.

After a year died the current king. His oldest son became king of Satania. He came with plans for a better administration for his people. Because there were frequently people with the same name. That made it difficulty for much things to check. For instance the tax. So everyone in Sartania need a surname. Ares and Minerva surname were Ghia. This stood for genius, heroism, ingenuity and authority.
