Family History

Relkin Sypher

Relkin first served in battle for Minas Ithil during the war with Eston. Still new to combat he found himself wounded but undetered. Indeed, joined by his younger brother Yorick both marched south in the battle with Abington.

After some battles both returned home to Minas Ithil. For a time there was peace, as though still technically at war, Minis Ithil had made no more preparations for returning south. During this time Norland, Barony of Makar, and Eston formed the Northern Alliance and demanded several regions from Minis Ithil that had been won in previous wars. Relkin has participated in many of the battles with Norland and Barony of Makar.

His family owns a small publishing company in York and Relkin has made use of the facility to publish a newspaper called the York journal.

On May 9th '07 Relkin became the Marshall of the York Elite Army. With the death of High Marshall Snider, Relkin was appointed by King Dead Angel3 to be High Marshall (June 6th '07). After becoming High Marshall, Relkin passed the title of Marshall of the York Elite Army to Malcor Devereaux of Cheltenborne.

Relkin has since stepped down from his position as High Marshall. In honor of his service to the realm he was given the title of Count of Winham (sept 21 '07).

Yorick Sypher

Yorick first joined his brother and the rest of Minas Ithil in fighting Abington. In the lull that followed he joined many of the tournaments and began to sharpen his skills. However he was kidnapped on the docks of Shanandoah and ended up in Mesh on the continent of Beluaterra.

Yorick became the Count of Qhunomite on May 9th 2007. The daimon attacks subsequently led to the fall of that region but Yorick became the Banker of Mesh for a time.

Yorick has chosen a life of heroism, risking life and limb fighting alongside his men. The wounds suffered at the hands of the daimons have changed him though, with him becoming less optimistic about the future and life in general. Despite the depression he suffers he dutifully stands with his comrades.

Roxas Sypher

Roxas is the younger brother of both Relkin and Yorick. The most adventurous of the three brothers, he enjoys traveling to new places. Fortunately, Roxas has quickly learned how to read maps properly after ending up in Falasan's capital instead of Shanandoah. He is currently in the service of Falasan.

Of short stature(5'6"), Roxas is still an accomplished swordfighter.
