Shifter Family

Family History

The Shifter Family begins with the twin brothers, Seth and Charnel Shifter. The brothers began as traders specializing in the trade of weapons. Their travels took them across the dunes of Talerium, until they came across a small oasis in the sands of Quetli. While they drink and rested from several weeks of travel, Seth discovered a rose that he had never seen before. The rose was black as the night sky, not nearly a dark violet but a jet black. Seth took his find to Charnel who was just as impressed by his brother's finding. The brothers set off the next day for the next town on their route, with rose in hand. They arrived later that day and they when to the local botanist in search of answers. They were informed that the rose was unique to that oasis. The brother decided to end their travels and a life of luxury which they long desired for. Using the money they had gathered selling weapons they were able to build a mansion for them and their family to come. Many years have past since that day, and both Seth and Charnel have married women from the local village, Oriel and Persephone. Though Seth and Charnel are to old to travel they have highly encouraged their childern to venture out into the world. Each child carries a weapon collected by Seth and Charnel during their travel. To this day they brothers have found a from of happiness that can't be matched. Seth spend much of his day tending the garden of black roses (which have become the center piece of the family crest) and painting with his beloved Oriel.
