Steelcrown Family
House Steelcrown
Honour, Fortitudo, Officium, et Fides
The Steelcrown family, originally from Middale, on the continent of Atamara are a honorable and humble family. While this is an ancient family, they have just recently attained the privilege and status of nobility through the exploits of Yohann Steelcrown, also known as the "Black Eagle of Middale." They come from a long line of faithful warriors of noble intent. Their surname originates from the long forgotten Steelus Nomads, a people of ages past who settled in the Middale region long ago. Members of this family adhere to four core values, Honor, Courage, Duty, and Faith.
There are currently five active members of this family:
Sir Torphas Steelcrown
The first to become a Hero in his family, he resides on the continent of Atamara in the Realm of Minas Ithil. He is the oldest and most pragmatic. Some consider him the rock of the family. He favors Honor above all of the Steelcrown values. He may be somewhat prideful, to a fault.
Sir Palanthas Steelcrown
He started as a soldier on the East Continent in the Realm of the Light of Fountain. He was a loyal soldier, but something felt like it was missing in his life. Palanthas soon had a sense of overpowering wanderlust and set off to the Far East as a Trader. He then resided in the realm of Ethiala. Soon after his arrival an attempt on his life was made by Benjamin of Arcaea. This attack left him shaken and he decided to revert back to the profession of a soldier. He quickly garnered the hatred of Count Valion of Hupar and Lady Setsuka of Pesol due to their support of an evil religion called the Chaos Requiem. Lady Setsuka was soon banished for treasoness acts against the crown when she founded a Chaos Reqiuem temple in Pesol without the King's permision. Count Valion had financed the venture, but he managed to escape any punishment through his astute political skills. Palanthas grew weary of having such a powerful enemy and migrated to Beluaterra to be closer to his cousin, Poulas. Soon after his departure, Valion was killed in a duel after leading a failed rebellion. Palanthas now calls the Kingdom of Alluran his home and serves as a Marshal turned bureaucrat.
Sir Denthas Steelcrown
Originally a soldier turned Hero on the continent of Atamara in the Realm of the Cagilan Empire. He recently migrated to Minas Ithil in order to fight alongside his brother, Torphas, against Viking invaders from the North. The youngest and most adventerous of the current generation of Steelcrown's. He believes the ideal of Courage is second to none. He can be brash and little reckless at times, but his family hopes his temperament will mellow with age.
Sir Poulas Steelcrown
Originally a soldier turned Hero in the Colonies in the Realm of Alebad. He grew disatisfied with life in the Colonies and migrated to Beluaterra. He now calls Riombara his home and serves as a Marshal for that realm. He is a cousin to Torphas, Palanthas, and Denthas and eager to make his mark on the world.
Sir Shadus Steelcrown
He is an outcast from the Steelcrown clan and a outlaw. He resides on the Far East Island in the realm of Lasanar and makes a meager living as an aventurer. Shadus dreams of one day ascending to the ranks of nobility and exacting revenge on the family that has forsaken him.
