History of the Tian Family

The Tians are a family that came into the world during a time of family hardship. Starting as peasants, they worked their way through the ranks for many generations. It was not until the generation that included Kagurati and Yunari, that they achieved the rank of Noble.

The Tian family originated in the lands of Noritor, Itorunt, East Continent and after some time, they moved to Aix, a city in the lands of Perdan, on the East Continent.

First Generation

It was the first generation of the family that made them widely known beyond the borders of the Itorunt region of Noritor they first resided it. In fact, it was the actions of this generation that made the Tian family name respected on three different continents. First it was Perdan on the East Island, thanks to Sargon and Yunari. Then it was Heen and Irombrozia on Beluaterra by Kagurati and Ilandra respectively. Next the family name became known in various parts of Dwilight by Zanaras (who became known thanks to his exploits in 3 different realms, Pian en Luries, Shadovar/D'Hara, and Ordenstaat).

Sargon

Little is known of Sargon before his coming to nobility. Supposedly he was deemed of noble blood by a long lost ruler, others say that he lied and made himself a noble by adding the title. Truth is, he was cousin of a noble line, which had recently died out. This brought the Tian family to Itorunt, where they used to reside.

Sargon is an older half-brother to all of the family's first generation, though comes from a different mother. The Father he shared with them was the family's tie to nobility. After being banned from Ibladesh, he joined the ranks of Perdan, and served in their military for some time. After his death, it was confirmed that he was a marshal in the Army, and a believer in the 4 gods of Ibldaeshian religion.

He died at the age of 28 on the 23rd day of February, a legend in the lands of Perdan, and possibly among the entire East Continent.

Kagurati

Kagurati, is a person that strives to make the most of the world around him. A strategist and economist, his values have led him to do things that have made him a traitor in some realms, while respected in others. For a short time he served as Grand Imperator (General) of the Kingdom of Iato on Beluaterra. Currently, he resides with the family in Aix, his wandering ways having finally been quelled. Most the family credits this to having a son, Aurelias.

Yunari

Yunari, planned on more or less following the path of her older brother, Sargon, but when he died, she was forced to be a leader, instead of a follower. At one point she served in the lands of Ibladesh, but was banned for supposedly attempting to try and start a rebellion. After that, she served in Ubent for a couple weeks, and from there moved on to Perdan, where she has stayed for a considerable time. After nearly a year in their service, she left and became something of a wanderer. So far she has called the realms of Ibladesh, Ubent, Perdan, Itorunt, and Caligus her home. After spreading the EIDA a bit, she returned to Perdan, and became a bureaucrat once more. A short time later she retired and returned to stay with the family in Aix, after marrying a lesser known noble by the name of Tarjen Zarius.

Recently though, she has become somewhat infamous for the disowning of her twin daughters, Silvia and Silvianna, when they defied her and set sail for Beluaterra on their own. Whether it was public opinion that she did not like, or that she honeslty felt bad for what she did, somehow she eventually convinced her brother Kagurati that his son should go look for them.

  • After the death of her half-brother, she announced her religion, as a follower of the Four Lords Religion.
  • Students... - As a mentor, Yunari has a record listing all her students' names.
  • More... - Started, but still subject to some fine tuning.

Ilandra

The second newest member of the Tian nobility. Ilandra originally served in Old Rancagua, then left for reasons she has yet to tell. Not long after she joined the realm of Irombrozia, and finding herself no longer interested in the wars of man, dedicated herself to the preaching of Qryvaggism. This dedication has taken her from Irombrozia in the south-east, to Fronen in the north-east, and from there to Heen in the west.

After performing her best in Heen, they rewarded her fight against Hedonism, by promoting her to Baroness of Watto. This position was only to be temporary. Around the same time Kagurati left Heen, Ilandra left the East Continent altogether, staying for a short time in the Far East, and then moving on to Atamara, and later back to the East Island. Currently she resides in Aix, with the family.

What she managed to keep from most of those that knew her on Beluaterra, was that she had an encounter with Scion Twinblade at one point. When it started to become more apparent she made up an excuse to leave Heen. Nine months later, Ashlyn was born. While Ashlyn has been told who her father is, and even of potential siblings, they do not know of her what-so-ever. However, with Aurelias having been sent by his father Kagurati to the realm that one of the Twinblade children are in, this may change.

More... - Work in Progress.
Qyrvaggism - The religion she has dedicated herself to spreading.

Zanaras

Zanaras is currently the only active member of the family's first generation. Once his family had heard of the new land that was discovered, Zanaras was practically forced to go there or risk being disowned. He didn't mind it all that much though, because new lands are great chances to forge a name for yourself, and the land of Dwilight is like the rest, nearly completely unsettled. Only a handful of fledgling realms cling to existence there. After the realm of Pian en Luries was stabilized (OoC: AKA, startup was over) Zanaras received permission from Lady Imperatrix Alanna Anaris to take his cavalry unit outside the realm and scout the lands nearby Pian en Luries. He detailed his journey in a journal known as the Dwilight Traveler. After taking a respite from this journey he was appointed Marshall of the Royal Army and also founded the Poryatown Press. Sometime later he left the realm of Pian en Luries, to attempt a colony out of Sallowtown, failing at this he left to join Everguard in the north. After a brief time there he settled down again in Shadovar, the Ordo Concilium being founded there by his friend Edith Hashimashidas. After the incidents that lead to Shadovar's fall, the faith was destroyed by the new realm of D'Hara.

This lead to what may be the second chapter of Zanaras's life. With the fall of Shadovar and the Ordo Concilium, Zanaras found himself once again in Pian en Luries. After considerable thought he joined the Order of St. Iestyn and for a time spread their word in Fissoa, and later even took it across the sea to Ordenstaat. Eventually becoming disillusioned with the faith he was spreading, he broke away creating the Argent Order.

Early in his life, when the family still lived in Itorunt, he was pushed into an arranged marriage with the youngest of a lesser noble family. Eventually they ended up loving each other, and she became pregnant. Shortly before she was to give birth, Zanaras was forced to leave for Dwilight. She died giving birth.

Second Generation

This generation of the family is known mostly by the names of their parents. For some this is annoying, while others would use to to their advantage.

Ashlyn Twinblade

Ashlyn's uncle, Kagurati, is known to every once in a while joke that Ashlyn is the most "Noble" of the Twinblade Family (or at the least, of her siblings). Reason for this is that while Scion himself was a noble, their mother was only a noble by marriage to Scion himself. Ashlyn on the other hand has noble blood on both sides, from her father Scion and her mother Ilandra. What is less obvious however is that while she has chosen to take the Twinblade name, the rest of the Twinblade family does not yet know her existence. Regardless of that fact, she has done quite well on Dwilight, becoming Duchess of Flowrestown and even Queen-for-a-Day of Aquilegia.

Aurelias

The youngest of the family, Aurelias originally served not far from the family home. His time in Westmoor under Duke Corwin D'Saferate of Oligarch was short-lived however, when his Aunt Yunari somehow convinced his Father, Kagurati, that Aurelias should go look for the twin daughters that Yunari disowned not more than a few months earlier. For fear of being disowned himself, he gave in and set sail for the land that Silvia and Silvianna were said to have sailed for themselves. That land would be Beluaterra, the two having likely been inspired by the stories that Kagurati and Ilandra were fond of telling.

He is new to the lands of Heen, but the name of his Father is not yet forgotten. While that is good in a way, Aurelias strives to separate himself from the shadow of his father's name, and perhaps even one day surpass his father's renown. While he is there searching for his lost cousins, he is also interested in the realm himself so does his best to serve Heen. He is also hoping to get in the good graces of Heenite High King Concobhar O'Deaghaidh and High Queen Beatrix Twinblade, so that he may be able to tell the Queen of her relative--without getting himself shamed, dishonoured, exiled, or banished in the process.

Larani

Larani Tian, the least known of the family. In fact, none of the main family even knows of her existence. This due to her being raised by her mother, after her father's death. While she may not be well known, her father was and died defending Perdan. Her father being Sargon Tian. She is rumored to be serving the realm of Arcachon on the Far East Isle.

Lesser Members

There are some more members of the Tian Family, that aren't quite as well known as the rest. They are Valorius, Marcus, and Rose; all of their careers were relatively short lived.
