Zaratin Anarion Lux, the youngest son of Hathor Lux, was born and raised in Paisly, a grand city on the continent of Dwilight where also Lux family manor was situated. His heart drove him ever westwards, and he had been assured he would never leave Old Maroccidens or Tomb Islands either. In the beginning of knighthood he served Madina, but when independence was proclaimed in Paisly, he joined the newly formed Kingdom of Melodia, which was at the time refered to as flowering. Proud to serve The Crown of Melodia, Monarch Albert de Blanc, he participated in every major undertaking of the realm. As he was interested in warfare and strategy rather than poetry or economy, Zaratin's rise within the military ranks was lightning-fast; he soon became Marshal of the Order of Mellifluous Nightingale, never losing a single battle over the numerous monster hordes plaguing Maroccidens area. When elite military Order of Elegant Albatross was founded, Zaratin had been chosen to marshal it. However, the heart of the young Monarchy was tainted, as the trecherous rebellion forces started their venomous intrigues striking the Capital city of Paisly, and the Monarch turned out to be too weak and too gullible to deal with them when the time was asking for it. A rebellious outbreak was so snide, and so well timed that it ripped through loyalist ranks, and taken the rule over the listless Monarchy. Zaratin stayed loyal and fought for the Monarch to the very end, when Albert de Blanc vanished and was lost in the midst of numerous plains of Maeotis. The life of the newly formed Republic was of shortest possible breath, but that tale does not belong here.

The Rover

Usurping forces have forever banned Zaratin from Melodia. He did not care much, since his allegiance to the Monarch was fulfilled, and he did not hold any personal vendetta towards the newest rulers of Melodia, except the contempt towards the treacherous way they had grabbed the throne, but he thought that was not worth dying for. Thus he became a Rogue of the West, having travelled all the way from Paisly to the City of Candiels by land, in the very South of Dwilight, seeking to settle in Madina again. Indeed a dangerous advanture it was; with only 16 men he managed to find ways through monster plagued Dwili regions, finally reaching countryside Bol. In the region of Bol Zaratin was ambushed by beasts, but accompanied by Captain Osric, his loyal companion, and two more men, he reached the safety of Madina, finally entering the region Lugagun, where he pledged his service to Sir Margel Somra, Baron of Panabuk. Shortly did he serve Madina, however, this realm was not meant for him. Chasing monsters from Bol to Panafau and back again did not satisfy his glory standars. Thus he resolved to travel even further, to a continent little known to man, to the coast of dreaded Beluaterra, where he joined the great realm of Enweil, finally fulfilling his longtime wish: meeting the greatest foe of man in battle, Daimons.

Daimons of Beluaterra

His first close encounter with these cruel and proud race came in the midst of a raging siege of the City of Fengen, Capital of Enweil, when the ground shook, and Vesti Valitorre, the Daimon Lord, lead a massive Daimon army to the city walls. A three-day long siege was fierce, but the spirit of Enweilian nobles could not be shattered nor broken, and finally the attack had been repelled. Enweil emerged victorious.

Short was the rest of Enweilans however. News of the North were grim, as Avalon, ally to Enweil, lay in grave danger. Their Capital, the fair city of Cteduul, was overrun by Daimon hordes, left to the mercy of inhuman beasts by their closest neighbours, Fwuvoghorians. However, many came to their aid, including the Army of Fengen. In the nick of time united armies gathered their forces on the plains in front of a besieged city, and lead a terrible charge which completly broke the takeover. For many more days the battle raged mercilessly, but the survival of Avalon had been assured.

In Pursue of Daimon Followers

Greedy realm of Valhus was next. Rumours had it, these secretive nobles had dealings with Daimons. At the time only a small realm of Bara'Khur opposed them. Army of Fengen marched North, all the way to Wudenkin. They had a short rest in Dyomoque, Capital of Bara'Khur, before a mighty strike on Wudenkin, which breached the walls, and left the city ripe for the taking. Valhus army had previously been beaten in Vale, and their cowardly king escaped to the North. Fengen Everwatch, Zaratin's unit, had become veteran by that time, raining death upon enemies with ferocity and precision of the birds of prey. Never before did Zaratin Anarion Lux have such a unit.

Lordship over Tsamn

However, good things come to pass quickly. Rage of the Daimon Lord Prudence was great, and after destroying Plergoth, he unleashed his terrible minions on Riombara. Enweilans were there to help, but before they could unite with Riombarans, their army had been ambushed by Daimons, and thus, utterly defeated in the region of Cjelegy. Although literally shredded into pieces, Riombara endured the onslought, and survived Daimonic offensive after all. Then, after a long time Enweil had a period of peace, securing the regions, and solidifying defense in case of new Daimon attacks, as well as dealing with certain inner affairs. As a reward for his great courage and achievements in the field including all the wars Enweil fought during that period, Zaratin Anarion was given the fair region of Tsamn to rule over. Many months did he then spend in his estate, clearing the region of minor monster threats, improving harvest and irrigation, eagerly awaiting when Enweil shall call to war again.

Sudden Death

During a long wait, Daimons surprisingly became quiet throughout Beluaterra. Many regions were cleansed during that period, including Zuhle and Jaekind. Time was ripe for settling old affairs with Republic of Fwuvoghor. In a great military campaign Enweil took city of Fwuvoghor, which belonged to her in the past. Marching amongst Fengenite ranks, Zaratin was able to further deepen his military knowldge. Hammered from the northern side by Avalonians, the Republic soon ceased its infamous existance losing fortress of Zod to Avalon as a final refugee. Their Riombaran allies were not of much help, but this left Enweil in war with Riombara whom they have previously helped defending against Daimon invasion.

It is within this war that every trail of Zaratin Anarion fades away. It is presumed he was killed by Daimons or some similar abomination during a routine patrol in Shifgrethor. Thus the family has lost one of its greatest nobles in a sudden and unexpected twist of destiny. The family has sent loyal commoners and rangers to search for him on many an ocassion, but to no avail, to this day the trail of Zaratin Anarion was never retrieved.
