Exiled Family/Gorch
The gold lover
Gorch is the youngest of the three siblings, cautious by nature and always looking to be better with his gold. Thus, it was no suprise when he started his career on Atamara serving briefly in the army of Falasan. He now performs his duties to his realm by bringing in food from Eston, while keeping his options open with routes to ASI and Norland. He knows that the fortune of the family relies on his economic success, and he is determined not to fail. He is one of the few traders left in Falasan, alongside the banker Tokanan Salad'ilm, for whom he has great respect. Recently with the war in Falasan, he has been forced to work even harder. For further reference on the troubles of Falasan and Gorch's role in feeding the realm see Falasan.
Gorch recently vanished in suspicious circumstances. It is said by some that he made some bad business choices, and whispered by others that he made the very best and was envied for it. Nonetheless it is known that he became dissillusioned with the amount of fire that traders began to draw in these wars and that he intended to do something about it...
After the death and funeral of Widfara, Gorch returned to active service, arriving on the shores of the east continent, in Ibladesh. Just when Alex Exiled died,... it was a sad day for all. he claimed sympathetic leave and came to the funeral of his brohter, the second one he had been to in a week.
Disillusioned with the leadership of Ibladesh, he has been at the forefront of much discontent and public discussion, such as a very long public discussion of tactics with Korin, an Ibladeshi he respects as well endowed with intelligence, a quality sadly lacking in Ibladesh, culminating in protests against the general Targe due to his appointment of Jitte, a confirmed madman who has a history of psychopathic tendencies.
He emerged eventually in the Cagilan Empire after recommendations from a family friend of Alex and Widfara, Aurum Bishamon, the land where he had traded all that time ago in Falasan.
After the sudden uncurable sickness of his liege, Gorch became very disillusioned. After hearing an offer at a huge tournament he attended, Gorch decided that he would seek his home elsewhere and emigrated to Beluaterra. Joining the realm of Riombara, he was immediately attracted by the friendly atmosphere there. He intends to stay there for a long time - both his lust for gold, and his affection for his new home call to him. There he immediately made suggestions to improve the miliary aspect of things, and so far looks to be doing well, even when only a few days in.
Soon made a marshal, Gorch helped lead the army as Riombara took Ardmore, Glongin, Mio Dupaki, Bym and eventually the city of Grehk after many long months of occupation from the realm of Luz de Bia. After the Luzians (or, according to the scribe of Jorn Ironborn, Luzers) refused peace, Gorch was granted permission to acquire the title to the city of Grehk to work on rebuilding it. He is the current Duke of Grehk as well as marshal of the Army of Riombara, a most prestigious and influential post, though he is conscious that he merely serves as a steward.
The time came before the invasion when the claims were removed and Riombara made peace with Luz. Gorch ran for the dukeship once again, and in an open election came first with a great number of votes, thus becoming the legal Duke of Grehk. The duchy blossomed, soon consisting of lands from the mountains of Bym to the plains of Rii.
The Third Invasion came. Unnatural forces rose in great numbers. Of the most concern to Gorch was the fact that the undead arrived in Mio in great numbers. The undead spoke of a greater evil to come, though, and ultimately Riombara's council decided to help the undead.
Then they came. The daimons, huge beasts of whom little is known but their destructive might.
