The Family of Kaltenthal

The true origins of the Kaltenthal family have been lost trough the centuries and so the last story that remains is the one of Thurogir Kaltenthal that travelled around the Eastern Continent 200 years ago.

In this time,it is believed that the whole eastern continent was pure wilderness.

Thurogir travelled from the southern shore of today Itorunt up through the mountains of Bursa and the big Braga forest till one day he reached the northern shore of the continent. Allthough the land he was in hadnt the most beautiful landscape, nor the most profitable grounds, he just felt in love with the land and decided to stay there.

Months later, after he finished the first building on our, today's family estate, he met the beautiful Arianne Summerfell. Three years later they married and started a new live in the badlands of today Caquetta.

The rest is history

Today, 217 years later, the first two childs Arramis and Solaria of the Kaltenthal Family where sent to aid the Realm of Old Rancagua, to protect the familys wealth and to bring glory to the Family Halls.

After the complete obliteration of Old Rancagua by the realms of Fontan and The Sultanate of Asena, Arramis and Solaria both joined the Obsidian Islands

There was a period of the Kaltenthal family after Arramis death on the fortifactions of Ashforth during a very large attack by the joined forces of SA and Fontan, where the fame of their Uncle Norgard brought the familys renown to unprecedented heights. He was a devout follower of a Religion called Sanguis Astroism on the continent of dwilight. While his niece Solaria was preaching a completely different religion called Dagdaism on the eastern continent. For a period, most noble offspring of the family where priests. Norgard Kaltenthal was the ruler of the realm of Corsanctum and light of the maddening for many years.

After that there were only rumours to be heard about the Kaltenthal family for almost a decade. Norgard seemed to have died of old age, after his mind was killed by a poison of one of his foes while solaria apprently jumped into a life volcano in order to "commune with the dagdas" or so the rumour has it.

The newest record shows that there seem to be new members of the family that have taken up the duties of nobilty and the future will show how the three named Solaria, Santyr and Mendechaus will fare.


The story of Solaria the 2nd:

When she opened her eyes again, her vision came back flickering, everthing looked distant and blurred. Now she could feel it, a weight on her head as if there was a Sintian battleswine jumping around on her while she was lying on the floor. She realized she was lying on a wooden floor,
under a heavy and big wooden table, a bouquet of the most ferocious smells drifting into her head, did also not relly help the feeling of the weight on her head . There where two black leatherboots right in front of her face that reeked of manure and looked like they had their best days 
behind them but they where not the sole source of the pain inducing smells, she managed to lift her head and looked around, quickly realizing that she was in a Tavern. It must have been around seven in the morning since she was able to hear some roosters gawking outside and the distinctive
smell of morning air that came breaking in through the shabby windows of the Tavern, shoving the broken air inside out of the way. When she straightened herself up, she saw that the feet in the black boots belonged to her guards captain. A man that she always despised and liked at the same
time for him treating her like his own daughter. She had a picture of that seven foot tall bearded muscular giant that this man was in hear head, towering the rather small and slim girl with blonde hair that she was.
The tavern was filled with drunken, sleeping man. Some where lying on the floor, others on the tables but appart from them the whole tavern looked empty and devoid of any sober soul.
On her way to the front door she nearly stumbled over the troops dog, ernulf but managed to keep her balance by jumping over him, realizing that she landed in a pool of a mixture of vomit and some non describable substances she nearly threw up and stumbled out of the door.
There were some people around her that did notice her but did not really bother to care enough to stop what they where doing. She saw a barrel filled with water and decided to go and wash her face in it. When the cold water hit her skin, she started to become much clearer, which did not
help her head much but she seemed to be able to remember the last evening again and that was the moment when she nearly collapsed because her head started to spin heavily again as her thoughts came back. "That son of a bitch" she muttered to herself.
Her guards captain really managed to trick her, an action that she deemed impossible for so long. "You must finaly find a place to stay and fight for, Child." 
"If you insist so heavily then make me" She replied in her thoughts but in reality she knew she had messed up. The bet was an easy one. She had to win three games of pai sho in a row against the guards captain. The bet on her side, that she would join a realm if she looses
was a grave mistake but she was sure to win anyways. Or so she thought. During the game she remembered her mind starting to play tricks on her. He must had messed with her Ale before the game started. Looking back it felt like the white lotus that she used ever so often on druid gatherings.
She felt a rush of blood streaming to her Head, anger taking over her thoughts. "Im going to ki.." she started to mutter and just wanted to rush in to the tavern only to be stopped by a voice right next her. "M'lady are you Solaria Kaltenthal" The young man must have approached her
unnoticed while she was in thoughts and he looked at her with an astonished look on his face.
"Yes, i am" she said with a frown upon her face. "What do you want" she continued in the most angered fashion that she could come up with right after awaking from an alcohol and drug induced coma.
"I.. I am the steward of Alyn Fontaine, Baron of Madragas and i have been sent to find you and give you a personal answer to your letter that youve sent tonight" The man said with an baffled expression. "You where saying that you want to take up an Estate and serve Ren Madragasand the realm
of Nothoi"
The look that the messenger saw on her face was an interesting thing to behold. Not being able to tell if the person you are talking with is either going insane or just drifting in thoughts is a rather freigthening sight indeed.
"Soo... Ren Madragas.. is this where we are at?" Solaria asked, pointig her hand around them in a slow, descriptive way while she seemed to only take half note of what was currently happening.
"Yes, My lady, this is Ren Madragas, in the realm of Nothoi" the steward replied. "I can show you to your estate right away if it pleases you m'lady"
Her right eyebrow had started to twitch and if she hadnt had a weird enough expression on her beautifull young face before, she definitely had it now. The steward stepped back from hear as he looked at her.
"No, thank you. I will send a letter to the lord of the Region later and visit my estate. But first i have something to deal with." She told him. The steward took this opportunity to quickly slip away from her and made his way back to the lords estate as fast he could.
She was standing in front of her Captain with a bucket of water in her hands, who was still sleeping on the table in the tavern unalarmed and still like a baby. She took the water bucket and gushed the water onto his head which lead to a rather uncomfortable awake on the captains side.
He quickly straigthened himself to look what was goin on only to be hit on the head with a wooden bucket which in combination of his allready spinning head was nearly too much and he started to tip forwards. Solaria jumped at him, grabbed the back of his head and smashed him on the
Tables surface as hard as she could. The distinctive crack of a breaking nose that she was able to hear finally gave her the satisfaction that she was looking for in this and she started to calm down.
Her guards captain seemed to had passed out so she sat down and grabbed the nearest two tankards that she was able to reach, poured the liquids together and started to drink. If she really had to start a new life now, a life that she had always frowned upon, the life of a noble
where you had to say sorry for every damn fart that escaped you and lick boots so hard that your tongue started to mutate into a towel, she at least wanted to be drunk while starting it.
