The Slasher family is one that recently began to be well known. It has several sons, but no daughters have been discovered of as yet. The Slashers are nobles, claiming descent to nobility for many generations. They are a powerful family, however their fortunes have suffered somewhat of recent years. Sons and fathers of the family. Lancelot, first noble to venture into knighthood. He started out in Cheltenborne, Minas Ithil, Atamara. He was accepted as a knight there by Lady Katherine, and served loyally to the end of his years. Lancelot was a man of few words, not holding many high ambitions of power, but rather to uphold honour and glory in his family. He was one of the most loyal and steadfast nobles in Minas Ithil, betrayal was a thought that never occurred to him throughout his years. After some time, Lancelot declared himself a hero, wanting to devote his remaining years in the service of Minas Ithil. In a battle against Norland, fighting loyally and courageously for his realm, Lancelot perished in the heat of battle, but Minas Ithil won that fateful war. Lancelot Jr, Lancelot's son, started out soon after Lancelot passed. He joined Minas Ithil too, desiring at that time to follow in his father's footsteps, and continue to bring glory and honour to his family. However, Lancelot Jr. was more ambitious and restless than his father. Dissatisfied with constant obedience required in Minas Ithil, he boarded a ship to Beluaterra, desiring new adventures and experiences. He alighted at Enweil, and has been there ever since. It seems that Lancelot Jr. had some of his father's blood after all, as he served with honour as a knight for many months, until his dreams of more power to serve his realm were realized, and he was elected Count of Gorin. Lancelot Jr. had resolved to work hard at his region, but still entertains his ultimate ambition. Neptune was a lowly commoner. Disowned by the Slasher family after disgraceful behavior, including behaving with blatant disrespect to his lords and rulers, he was set on a boat to the South-East islands to seek his fortune, and so that he would not plague the family anymore. Neptune wandered for a while, collecting valuable items and artefacts to eke out a fairly comfortable living. It never crossed his mind to reseek his nobility. One day, he angered the judge of Ikalak, as he had inconvenienced the peasants with his continued snooping. He was banned from the realm. Disheartened and depressed by this second rejection, Neptune boarded a ship away from the islands, and has never been seen alive again. Neptune Arthur was, however, a faithful son of the Slasher family. He was the younger brother of Lancelot. It is not known exactly how he came to seek his fortune in Fontan, but he has been serving the region Akesh Temple faithfully since then, aiding in its inexorable conquest of the despicable enemies of the mighty realm of Fontan. However, it is rumoured that he share ambition akin to his nephew that he does not want to stay a knight all his life. Arthur Neptune, while he is of undoubtably noble blood, he is more restless and he does not share as much of the sense of loyalty that his uncle, Neptune Arthur and his father, Lancelot. He is currently residing in Dwilight, Springdale. At first delighted to alight at a realm that was still actively expanding, he was soon informed that his family name was 'inappropriate' for a realm such as Springdale. At first shocked and insulted, he gradually warmed to the idea of changing the family name. He has proposed to his family that it be changed to 'Gerard', 'Pendragon' of 'Madon', but has not received a reply yet. Meanwhile, he waits anxiously for the seal of approval from his elders.
