The Burson family hails from Belegrond, Eston, Atamara.

The eldest, Darius, was fighting almost as soon as he could walk. Fighting was his way of life, and those who live by the sword, die by the sword. Darius was killed in action, fighting for Sandalak against Ikalak in Unagae on the South-East Island.

The twins, Burfgand and Kelthar are very different. Burfgand is the statesman of the family, but will resort to violence if needed. Kelthar, now deceased by the hands of Ceolwyn and Delphin, was considered the black sheep of the family. His skill as an infiltrator was only surpassed by his ego. Burfgand is no longer an active member of the family, having retired to his private estate on the shores of Zonasa near the grave of his old friend Zhao.

Gracehana, little sister, had only just started her career and elected to stay in Eston and protect the family from further incursions from Norland. Since the Norlanders and their allies, Minis Ithil, have had little luck in advancing into Estonian territory, Gracehana hopped ship to the New World, where she joined the realm of Avalon, where she hoped to make a name for herself and return to Belegrond with fame and fortune following her. However, the Avalon council made some choices that she deemed unwise and was unable to stay there, so she journeyed to Fronen, where she fought against the invasion of the Daimons. Sadly she was seemingly felled in battle with the daimons, however her corpse was never found.

Drizat, cousin of the above mentioned Burson tribe. Starting his career in Svunnetland with Burfgand, he was often looking for ways to make money to live the "High Life" without lifting a finger.

When Burfgand retired and Svunnetland became the tainted and corrupt realm that many saw it to be, Driazt left northwards, coming to Lasanar, where he found like-minded people, and comradeship. He became Duke of Colasan, and a "hero" at that. He tried to do things the easy way, but life taught him that easy is not always best, and he learned the lesson of a hard days work. Sadly Driazt was killed in battle, but such is the life of a hero.

Aelwolf, a combat hungry brother who is not quite right in the head. The family shipped him off to the South-East Island realm of Taselak to hopefully sate his hunger for combat, but it has only seemed to feed it instead. Aelwolf planned to follow in Kelthar's footsteps, and has recently entered into training as a "Shadow Walker". He has also left the South-East Island behind for a richer realm to finance his training and allow him to use his abilities fully, which he had found in Old Grehk. During the daimon invasion Aelwolf took it upon himself to target and assassinate daimon leaders systematically, leading him to be eventually captured and tortured repeatedly at the hands of the daimon council. After that Aelwolf took to wandering the rogue lands north-east of Old Grehk and was kidnapped by a ship of pirates who took him to the newly establish realm of Morek on Dwilight. He has sworn service to the Grandmaster and Bloodstars and has continued his training in the shadows.

Ryeena is a distant relative of the Burson Family, accepted into nobility by Driazt and given some money to explore the Far East herself. Determined to become a Priestess of Adghar, she travelled to Arcachon where she found a different path, a path of blood... After a stint as the General of Arcachon, leading the army against Sartania in their seemingly endless war, Ryeena left active duty to finally pursue the life of a priestess. After Elerik Taim's sudden departure Ryeena was declared the High Priestess of Adgharhinism.

Theodore is the bastard son of a tryst Aelwolf had whilst in Old Grehk. Having not revealed his existence to anyone in the family yet he is still living the life of a commoner, riding the land of monsters and such and trying to earn a name for himself.

No others in the family have military or political positions as yet, but no-one can forsee the future. Well, if Kelthar was still around...
