Rosnan Sarwell was the first of his generation in the family to set out to make a name for himself. He was born and raised in the family home of Braga, then a part of the destroyed democracy of [[Fontan (Realm)|Fontan]]. As Rosnan's luck would have it, he left his home with his first unit of soldiers shortly before his homeland was taken over by the armies of [[Westmoor (Realm)|Westmoor]], [[Sirion]], and [[Caligus]]. On his way to [[Krimml]], the capital of the realm, he was ambushed by the enemy troops and sent to prison in the city of [[Westmoor]]. Upon his release, Rosnan, infuriated and confused by the war now raging around him, returned to Krimml, where he fought tirelessly to defend his realm's last stronghold for nearly two months. When foreign troops finally overwhelmed the defenders and occupied the city, Rosnan fled to the coast and boarded a ship bound for [[Enweil]] in [[Beluaterra]].

Once again, Rosnan arrived with phenomenally bad timing, just days before the end of the [[Beluaterra/Fifth Invasion|fifth invasion]] by the daimons. At the end of the invasion, much of the land in his new home fell to darkness, the land was blighted, and monsters roamed the realm freely. His new army marched ineffectually around its land, attempting in vain to stop the monsters and rogues and restore the realm to its former glory.

Rosnan found that one successful robbery from the rogues in the countryside could be more profitable than a week's taxes in Pahk, and turned to the life of an infiltrator to find success. He was captured twice by the rogues, but fortunately managed to stay safe from harm. Eventually all the rogue regions of former Enweil were recaptured, so Rosnan took up the dagger to earn gold, assaulting various figures for the bounty on their heads. This choice of work would turn out to be his downfall, however, when he decided to try an assault on a council member from one of Enweil's allies. He traveled to the realm's capital and tracked down his target, but failed his attack and was seriously wounded. When word reached Enweil, the realm's judge slapped a fine for 200 gold on the infiltrator. Rosnan was unable to pay the fine, and knew that it was unlikely he ever could at the rate he was earning money. Furthermore, he had made himself a pariah both at home and abroad, so he decided to leave his old life behind once again and departed for the [[Far East]].

Lesser Members

Julian

Julian is the youngest Sarwell of his generation who is currently active in his career, and the first cousin once removed of Alna and Rosnan. He began working in Strombran on Atamara. An eager warrior, Julian soon traveled north to rendezvous with the Golden Talons of Strombran far from the realm itself, despite not even being assigned to the army yet. After returning home and waiting a very long time for diplomatic issues to sort themselves out, he embarked on the long journey north again, where once more his retinue was decimated and he returned home to refit again.

During his second period at home, it surfaced that the realm's Supreme Chancellor intended to reform the realm as a monarchy, with himself, naturally, as monarch. Julian loudly expressed his disapproval for the proposed change of government, and helped prompt a last-minute referendum on the subject. However, his grievances were for naught, since the referendum past anyway and the Supreme Chancellor went about installing his officially (though not to Julian) legitimate monarchy. Adding insult to injury, Julian's lord soon raised the lord share of the region's taxes without any warning or explanation, leaving Julian with insufficient income to support his retinue were he to remain in Strombran. Julian, figuring he would not be missed anyway, traveled to the much-larger Cagilan Empire, which preserved its republican system, and took an estate in Eaglin.

With the rest of his new realm, Julian marched back to a familiar front to continue the same war he had fought in Strombran.

Entam (Deceased)

Entam was a commoner in Nivemus, believed to be the illegitimate son of one of the eastern Sarwells. He was an aspiring social climber despite his unfortunate circumstances, and took up the sword against the local monsters to find fame and fortune. He became, for an adventurer, relatively wealthy and successful, though the only unique treasure he ever obtained was soon lost to the undead hordes. After being imprisoned when he left his homeland, Entam ultimately met his end at the clammy hands of an undead champion.
