Strife Family

• You look into the Strife family pages, however it seems many of the documents are missing.... Only a picture with a man corrupting all around him wearing the Strife family crest remains*

The stuff written underneath isnt what is actually here, i just needed a place to dump it before i get round to writing it all up properly

Descendents of an avater of chaos, the Strife family name seems oddly appropriate. Although the family members are not that well known, their presence hasnt definatley been felt.

Cloud: The first and by far the most infamous member of the family. Initally coming from falasan he was quickly booted out of the realm after the men under his command went on an unauthorised looting spree. The fact that his "sister" had joined Darka did not help his case. For banishing him from his own homelands Cloud swore vengeance on King Maniac and the judge, Legolas. After a short journy he wound up in Talerium convinced that as the realm was allies with Darka that he would not have any problems of a similer nature. He was wrong, several of the leading Talerium nobles including there general Thorbjørn considered Darka to be nothing more then parasites. In an attempt to learn more about the political situation, Cloud asked several troop leaders from other realms to give him there view on how they saw Atamara, and how it had got into its current situation. During his time in Talerium he became one of the many hero's willing to risk themselves on the frontline.

Around 150 days into his career in Talerium, a raiding party attacked the top of Falasans northern border, Menedor. There on the walls of Menador stood Legolas, eager to finnaly have his vengeance Cloud surged forward towards the walls however his men never gained a footing before they were driven off. However another Talerium troop leader by the name of Rebel managed to shoot Legolas of the walls to his doom. Cloud has been friends will Rebel ever since.

Over the next 100 days Cloud's arguments with Thorbjorn continued to escalate until Thorbjørn sne a letter to the realm claiming that soon they would purge Darka from Atamara. At the same time a letter was apparently sent to Darka containing the military information of Talerium. Cloud was blamed for this and was fined heavily. In responce Cloud sent the letter Thorbjorn had sent to the realm to the current King of Darka... the two realms have never completely trusted each other since. When the council found out what Cloud had done he was banished from the realm and was chased to Cagilan Empire borders by a small battle group led by the madaxeman Khorne. At this time a bounty of 100 gold pieces was put on both Cloud's and Thorbjørn's heads. The Cagilan accepted Cloud after he was vouched for by Howard, who was at the time a highly respected member of the realm.

Cloud has been in the Cagilan empire for more then a year now and has participated in many major battles including the largest current battle in the history of the world. He has also become a master of the sword, as was first proven when he dueled the King of Falasan, Maniac and finnaly regained his lost honour by seriously wounding the King in a duel to surrender. Cloud still has several arguments with various realm mates over his "actions" in Talerium however they hold no real importance. No one yas yet to take Cloud's bounty despite numerous attempts. Even the legendary bounty hunter Si-Ju-Jarugi not only failed to claim the bounty but got seriously wounded in the process.

Dawn: An adopted member of the family, found at a young age by a man who she barely remembers, only that his name was Haakon, she was adopted into his family but he disapeered soon after. She adapted well to her new life as no one yet questioned her bloodline despite the fact she looked nothing like the other two children. However her "brother" Cloud reguly voiced his disaproval to her as he believed that she was unworthy of bearing the Strife Crest. When she was 14 She had had enough of his constant insults and ran to Darka, however unknown to Cloud she kept in reguler contact with her "sister" Tojira.

The time came when Dawn finally became a fully recognised noble of Darka, she quickly became good friends with a darkan countess, Lavigna. Dawn quickly became skilled with a variety of weapons including a previously unseen weapon, the Zhanbantoh, a dreaded mix of both the long sword, staff and Nagonata mixed into one.

She was eventually entrused with a region after a year of loyal service to Darka. Ironically this was Lavgina's region that was entrusted into her care during her absence.

Although she had many friends in darka there were still some her seemed to dislike her opinouns, including the darkan judge Herumor. After several minor arguments over trivial matters an incedent happened which led to the longest string of bans in a single day by one judge. Herumor was targetted by the BlackMamba after his closest competitor Ice put a price on his head. Vinnie was asked to deliever a message to his brother the leader of Black Mamba. A new noble tried to defend there case when Herumor found out, when Dawn tried to help this noble by protesting against the judges rash actions she two was banned. Wimpie, a good friend of her's then defended her however he to was banned. If it was not for the intevention of GhostDragon then Heremor could well of split the realm apart that day. She was ordered by Herumor to personally stop Vinnie before he fled Darka. After a brief battle on the fields of Tolhour Vinnie was personally wounded by Dawn. He did eventually escape, however none of his current body guard survived.

A few months later Dawn lost contact with her only family contact Tojira, a week or two later at a tournamane tshe headr that she had been personally killed by Castimir, Herumor's brother. After this Dawn took a dark step into her future, becoming a warrior of the shadows. She has been losing her sanity slowly ever since. After months of training she finnaly left Darka and moved against the lands of Abington, there she caused havoc for two months before she was finnaly caught, however she was badly guarded and she escaped, soon she was back again wounding important leaders as she went including Harpy, the general of Carelia.

After 600 Days of service on Darka she announced that she would be taking a "trip" to explore the world. She landed on the beach of the troubled realm of Taith Aenil, it wasnt long before she was a crucial weapon in a civil war, acting as a spy and sabatouer against Taith Aenil until Greater Aenillia finnaly conquered the city of Nahad. Kali has yet to find out about her betrayal. She has spent her current time hunting down the remians of Taith Aenil and dealing with other threats that come across her way. Her slightly phychotic actions seems to have worried some members of her realm however she is completely loyal to Orphen.

Died In the Battle of Korlock

Tojira (23) South-East Sandalak Hero 70 / 27

They were now outnumbered 20-1, seems we realy must of underestimated them this time Tojira thought while dodging another blade from Castimirs calvary, there was no where to retreat no where to run. Suddenly a blade caught her on the left arm, hissing in pain Tojira turned to see Zack... Curse that Ikalakian he had wounded her before in Abykal. Before she had a chance to defend however a blade from an unknown noble struck into her back. "No this can not be the end, i will not accept this, I am Tojira baraness of Yayhan, i will not let it end like this." Taking out her will out of her pocket she smiled. I will be back someway or another i swear it. Then it was over, the Ikalakians had moved away. Kainaq got up from holding his head in pain, seemed those mumakil were tougher then he had given them credit, he looked around quickly noticing Tojira lieing motionless on the groundwalking up to her he noticed a piece of paper lieing on the floor.

To whoever finds this letter, if you are reading this then i am most likely dead, in which case i ask that i be given a proper burial, even if it is by enemy hands, if you knew me then i ask that you take my place in Sandalak and give hell to whoever killed me.
