Grindle Family
Living Characters
The Grindles have a long and interesting history, but sadly have such poor memories that no-one now has much of a clue what that history involves. But being a noble family, they assume it to involve dragons, heroics, and the conquering of tea plantations. Their history is known no further back than Nether and Hope Grindle, a kind and wealthy couple from many years ago.
Hopefully over time, the family will be able to write down their triumphs and failures for future Grindles to read and forget. Sadly, they are more likely to spend it fighting for their lands, and raiding tea and biscuits from the local peasants through charm, cunning and swordsmanship.
Crip Grindle
Crip Grindle is the eldest currently touring the Battlemaster lands. He started his career on Atamara, in Elroth, under Falasan rule, where he was quick to enter battle against Eston, and is trying to make a name for himself under the banner of the rabbit. Fair-minded and responsible, he can usually be relied on to lead his men well, and is a keen follower of the Way of the Warrior Saints. He, and his men particularly, are fond of a game of Skat each evening after supper.
Baz Grindle
Baz Grindle is the elder brother of Tidey and Cal. After some time in the wilderness, where he gained respect for fighting against monsters, he came to Arcachon to look after his mother. He has a similar personality to Cal, but is slightly more wild and slightly less rude.
Hather Grindle
Hather Grindle is the father of Dor Grindle; uncle of Crip, Cal, Baz and Tidey. He lived for many years in Elroth, but discovered a strange man - some later suggested he might have been a sage - who sold him a book. The book explained about the Bloodstars of Sanguis Astroism. He was fascinated by it, and travelled to Dwilight, to Morek, to discover more.
Tidey Grindle
Barely deserves a mention here. Cal's sister, who spent much of her youth in petty crime and was shunned by her family, is now away from home trying to regain some of her nobility. On a good day, you can catch a glimpse of her in Itorunt. On a better day, you can't. She discovered the Cursed Helm in Itorunt.
Past Characters
Dor Grindle - deleted Jan 08 (Dor and Cal both deleted with the aim of replacing with just one character on Dwilight instead - though as yet by the time the deletion had been accepted, Dwilight had been closed)
Dor, first cousin of Crip, is also on Atamara, having left Suville after the demise of Abington, to join Minas Ithil. After a couple of feeble attempts early in his career to lead troops into battle, most of which involved him getting there too late and doing no good, he has turned his hand to some more subtle work, spending time with papers and analysis. Although weak in battle, his amiable nature and logical mind make him useful behind the scenes.
Cal Grindle - deleted Jan 08 (Dor and Cal both deleted with the aim of replacing with just one character on Dwilight instead - though as yet by the time the deletion had been accepted, Dwilight had been closed)
Cal, second cousin to Crip and Dor, started his career as the grouchy inhabitant of the realm of Perdan, a Knight of Perdan Mines. He tended to think that everything should be Perdan His, and longed to show how much better he is than Crip and Dor. He left Perdan to seek fame as a hero in Old Rancagua. He has a headstrong streak, probably from his domineering grandmother, Tot, which can get him in trouble, but he will usually make a good attempt to fight his way out of it. Unlike his older siblings, he has avoided capture for petty crimes in his youth, and retains the respect that his noble ancestry deserves.
