Legends of the Recent Past

Richard Silver

Richard Silver.png

Born into a wealthy family of slightly known brewers, Richard 'the Courageous' Silver is probably the most well known member of the Silver Family. Sales of the Silver Family Ale had increased greatly, mostly because of him. The family's wealth has thus been raised and the family name is more well known. Their early wealth made them one of the oldest minor aristocratic families, but their position has since increased.

Since the time that he first picked up the sword, he has served in ASI. When he was last seen, he was the Count of Yacon. Somewhat of a legend to some, he disappeared into history. His name still inspires some, others hope that he might return one day. But, his blood line continued, seemingly rather directly, so he must have had a child.

Current Family

Richard Leonecouer Silver

A young man; honorable, just, courageous and sharp-witted. Richard Leonecouer is a spitting image of Richard 'the Courageous,' his namesake. (Leonecouer, modified from Couer-de-lion, Richard the Lionheart... synonym of courage). Though young, only 18 as of (4/26/2011, real time) he has already attained position as the Count of Craigmore in Carelia. He is the current head of the Silver Family.

In Battle

His unit fights in the typical style of the Silver Family and the Ashlantean - Short Swords, light mail, typically tight formations since their weapons allow it, but their use of a shield makes even looser formations feasible when required. Along with the short sword, they carry a longer blade for when it is required; thus equipping them can be expensive but the family armory is kept well stocked. As time goes on, the men are trained in the use of as many weapons as possible, so that even if they lose their blades, they might still fight on.

As with the established method of his family, he picks the captain of his men based upon merit and valor, for that earns him respect amongst his men and keeps them content.

He can be seen wearing the colors of the High Serpaent Guard. There is rumors that he possesses some of Richard 'the Courageous' equipment, but he has not been seen wearing it, other than the same colors. His armor is much in the same style, and adds to his likeness towards his legendary kin. He is already building a reputation as a fearsome fighter on the field of battle, but known for a respectable amount of mercy (too much makes you appear weak, too little makes you dreaded!). His actions are primarily chivalric and honorable, but at times it puts him into some danger.

Etienne Silver

Richard's elder kin, he is a bit less headstrong and courageous, but equally sharp-witted and almost as honorable. He is a Knight of Mellifera, and fights for Luria Nova. He is typically quiet in comparison to Richard, but do not mistake it as cowardice. Already he is building up quite a bit of fame in battle.

Other Relatives

There are a few other relatives or people who have been given the Silver Family's name.

Sifeer

Sifeer is Richard's very distant relative, who at one point served under him, mostly in a cavalry unit, and for a very short time in an infantry unit. After recieving a very severe injury that should have ended his career, he had attempted to get medical treatment on his own. After being met by only hardship, the Silver family took him into their care. After healing, sponsored by the Silver family, he immigrated to Sirion, where he now leads a cavalry unit in the Sirion military. He has a noticeable limp in his walk, has several scars, and his shield arm has less than average reflexes. He can still use the sword and lance pretty well, amongst other weapons.

He is still around, but taking a moment's break from war to see if his old wounds might heal. There exist rumors that he is attempting to contact Richard Leonecouer.

Because he knew Doc's Revenge, he has sworn alliegance to Doc, Duke of Oligarch.

Karlin

Accepted as a possible, distant relative to the Silver Family, but he may be even closer, possibly even a bastard to one of the close branches of the family. They do not know his whereabouts, but he may be accepted further into the family if he proves his worth or finds proof that he is at least in Sifeer's position. There are rumors that Sifeer lost a younger brother when he was but very young...
