Fianna Family

The Fianna family is a very old line going back thousands of years. The families original homeland was in Kheif on the South West Island. Though 700 years ago one brother, Kalin, moved to Minas Ithil on Atamara. He fought first as a mercenary for the king of Minas Ithil. He was knighted after he saved the kings life on the battlefield and as a reward for his service given a small plot of land. And so the Noble Fianna family was born. Now 700 years later the Fianna family calls Minas Ithil it's homeland and no memory of the South West Island remains. Except for the name...Fianna.

==Connor== Cavalier

Connor is disciplined and dutiful. His duty to the duchy of York and the realm of Minas Ithil comes before all else. He follows the laws to the letter and enforces them as well. He will voice his opinion, but will follow orders even if it means the death of himself and his troops. His dutifulness is often mistaken for being extremely cold. It is also questionable as to whether or not he has ever smiled. His sense of duty will never allow him to leave Minas Ithil. After his father died and older brother left Connor assumed the title of noble of the Fianna lands in Minas Ithil. Connor is usually found in all black, black mail, black leather and black wool. Connor wields the family great sword "Ice kiss". He had one son Connor Fianna II. Connor died during a battle for Minas Ithil several years ago.

==Laoch== Hero

Laoch is the more adventurous than his younger brother Connor. Laoch was born with enough humor for two, perhaps the reason Connor has none. One almost always sees a smile on Laochs face wherever he is. He left his home after an argument with his brother about Connor's stubborness and forfeit his rights to their fathers lands. There is still anger between the two. Laoch had found a home in Ikalak on the South East Island where he joined other honorable nobles in a fight to save the cornered realm. Unfortunately after only a few months the realm fell in the fight against Taselak and Sandalak. Unable to stay on the island where the flag that flies above the city is not that of Ikalak Laoch decided to leave island. Laoch sailed for the continent Beluaterra where he joined Luz de Bia. Disagreements and hostility from the leadership in Luz led Laoch to make his way over to Riombara where he currently resides. He was once considered handsome, but scars now cover part of his face from the battle for Ikalak city. Laoch carries a bastard sword he found in his father's armory when he was a child, runes are etched in the blade though no one knows what they mean. About a year ago Laoch left Riombara to take care of some personal matters. No one has encountered him since...

==Qhorin== Soldier

Qhorin was born to admiral of of the Sandugar war fleet. Sandugar is a small island nation mostly unheard of outside of the Western Ocean. It thrives on it's sea trade, fishing and the monetary gains of sea battles. Qhorin spent most of his time as a youth aboard his fathers flagship learning to sail and direct a war vessel. This time at sea left him very little experience with the high court and nobility of Sandugar. He does not fully understand the complexity and diplomacy of the nobility. He was recently passed over for being the captain of the fastest warship Sandugar had ever commissioned. Qhorin had though that his experience would have made him the easy choice, but money from Jory's father made him the right candidate. Infuriated Qhorin immediatedly left Sandugar and landed in Madina.

==Nicko== Priest of Athonlaurism

Nicko is not directly related to Connor or Laoch and does not know them. He is from the ancient lands of the Fianna family on the South West Island. He comes from the cold southern regions known as the badlands. Headstrong, fearless and sometimes considered reckless he agreed to fight for Taselak. Though his main concern was for the people his ancestors used to rule in the badlands. He is the first of the ancient Fianna line on the South West Island to make a name for himself. In the last days of Taselak, Nicko felt betrayed by the Prime Minister and his treason against the realm. Seething with fury Nicko boarded a ship without another word to the realm. After disappearing for a time Nicko appeared in Minas Ithil. He has vowed to give up warfare and became a bureaucrat, as he no longer trusted anyone enough to follow them into battle. Recently he has found a peace in Athonlaurism and has become a priest. Covered in blue knotwork tattoos that are meant to protect, Nicko used to go into battle wearing only breeches. Nicko's favorite weapon was a long axe. Nicko has quietly faded into being unnoticed with his duties as a priest. He no longer considers himself a noble, only a man of the faith.
