HISTORY

Childhood and education

Lindow is the firstborn son of Argos III of the Argorian Branch. He was born in Hamadan where the Moonsun family had their family home. Upon the death of his father, his uncle Tannis was appointed as guardian of his little brother Argos and him.

He was taught both in the arts of war (swordfighting, tactics, leadership) and in the intellectual arts (history, law, and religion).

After several disagreements with his uncle Tannis, Lindow left his Hamadan home to begin serving in a kingdom as a knight.

Knight of Shadowdale

He came to the kingdom of Shadowdale, where he went on to serve Spider Queen Luciferase Mayhem. It was a time of peace on the continent, so every day he invested it in improving his sword skills.

However, peace would not last long. After a month, war broke out between Sirion and his allies against First Oligarch. Lindow participated in several battles. With his great participation, the Spider Queen named him Margrave of Montijo.

Lord of Montijo

As Lord, he began to become familiar with the administration of a region, the effective division of estates, and the search for good recruiting centers. Meanwhile, in the war against First Oligarch, the allies had surrounded the kingdom in the city of Oligarch. After many attempts at siege, the city was impossible to conquer. Lindow learned tactics in battles between human armies and sieges.

Duke of Shadow's Edge and high merchant

First Oligarch threatened Shadowdale's borders and Spider Queen was missing, so an unknown nobleman who at the time was the Arachnid Commander of Shadowdale organized a rebellion to overthrow the Spider Queen Luciferase.

Lindow offered his help and that of some allies in the kingdom to name a new king in Shadowdale. After the victory of the rebellion, the new king named Lindow Duke of Shadow's Edge, having his lordship in Al amarah.

As a duke, Lindow was already tired of the war against Oligarch. They had been a year and had failed to enter the city. The young duke focused on other objectives such as commerce. Lindow focused on improving his trading skills by being able to sell food anywhere on the continent. Taking advantage of the period of chaos in both the North and the South, he managed to sell food at prices 5 times higher than the average.

Shadow King of Shadowdale

Several months after the successful rebellion, the unknown nobleman who became the new king left his crown and disappeared. Being the only duke and therefore, having the highest rank title, Lindow took the crown for himself. An action that was not well appreciated by some, who wanted a referendum, although Lindow calmed them down after having solved the administrative problems that had affected Shadowdale after the disappearance of the previous monarch.

As a new Shadow King, he had to become interested in the war against First Oligarch again. Likewise, the southern kingdoms had wiped out The Imperium of Greater Xavax and had begun the conquest of Caligus. Lindow had to join the block of Sirion, Nivemus, Eponllyn and Caligus to avoid the fallen of his realm. Shadowdale had great warriors but they were very few at the time compare with the southern kingdoms, although they knew how to defend themselves well. In an expansion attempt, First Oligarch was defeated at Greatbridge by the Shadow Legion of Shadowdale. Lindow magnified this battle for both allies and enemies to show that Shadowdale was at the same level as them.

When the Great War between North and South broke out, the Northern kingdoms agreed to form a single army led by a Supreme Commander and a Vice Supreme Commander. Lindow was chosen as 1st Supreme Commander of the Northern armies but the problems with other generals and the little respect he had led him to resign the position. The Sirion general took over the post, someone who had criticized Lindow a lot during his time as Supreme Commander. Lindow swore that sooner or later he would pay it. The next stage that happened was a stage of conquests and changes. Oligarch was conquered, the kingdom of Redhaven was founded, the fall of Caligus was avoided and its territories were recovered with the fusion of Caligus and Highmarch, Fallagard was conquered, Redhaven and Eponllyn was merged and the border with Perdan reached its capital. In this expansion Shadowdale acquired some territories. However, currently Perdan has regained his power and the borders are again in a kind of status quo thanks to divine intervention, while Lindow is in the Grey Palace scheming his next moves.

As Shadowdale's Shadow King, Lindow has tried to establish a patriotic feeling among his nobles, a feeling of pride and rejection of those who disrespect the values and insignia of the kingdom. On the other hand, the arrival of new nobles has made it possible to strengthen the kingdom and develop improvements in the army and in the law. In order to make an active kingdom, he has created meritorious titles, sword duels for a grand prize of gold or unique objects, parties and celebrations, etc.

UNITS

Appearance	Name	Description
	Old Moonsun Guard	They are the units with which Lindow arrived at Shadowdale. They are warriors wearing halberds and plate armor who have served the Moonsun House for years. They accompanied Lindow from his arrival until his appointment as Duke of Shadow's Edge. Thanks to them, Lindow acquired a great amount of honor and prestige, which allowed him to rise in rank. They have participated in the Oligarch War.
	Trader Bodyguards	Technically it was a bodyguard instead of a unit for an army. It was used in the days when Lindow was a Merchant-Duke. Shadowdale's paths are safe, but bandits or beasts could always appear that could leave him without gold. They hardly had action, some bandits and beasts who dared to enter Shadowdale.
	The Grey Guard	Lindow's most famous unit. She was recruited once she was crowned Shadow King. They are Shadow King's royal guard. Unlike other guards, the Grey Guard has enough power to consider itself a small exercise on its own. This unit is made up of men from Karbala and Greatbridge. People say they wear gray clothes for several reasons: to protect the Grey Palace, because grey is the color of the shadow, because it is an expensive color to obtain. They have participated in the Oligarch War and the Great War between South and North.
	The Hundred Custodians	A unique unit, created at the personal request of Lindow. They are formed by nobles of minor families of the kingdom, but being only one hundred the requirements to enter were very strict and demanding. Once selected, they were armed with the best weapons and armor of the kingdom, their horses were big and robust, these horses wore a metal barding from which a caparisons with the Moonsum house emblem fell while the riders wore the Shadowdale emblem on the shield and banner. They have participated in the Oligarch War and the Great War between South and North.
