 +
 +=== Eirik the Lost ===
 +
 +**Name:** Eirik the Lost\\
 +**Player:** Tim K\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** He/They
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +Ainghyll was a small, pleasant farming village, nestled in the Dales of Jorvik. Was is the appropriate word, it was too close to Algaroth, which for years had been a blessing, but during the civil war Ainghyll was used as a battlefield, and afterwards the realm of Algaroth claimed what was left of it. The people of Ainghyll fought a losing battle against the regime, with King Eirik swearing fealty to Skarn in return for his people's safety, though they would be forever more scattered throughout the Hundred Realms. After the fall of the grand warlock Eirik aided the remnants of Algaroth as general until they were safely into the Alliance of the South, at which point Eirik foreswor all realms and travelled the land trying to find both their place in the world and their people, during which time they were known as the King of No-one and Nowhere.
 +
 +Eirik now rules as Monarch of Camelot, reclaimed from the Realm of the Lost

 +**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +General Lucien appears repeatedly as a footnote of Algarothi history, but never as a major player. His greatest claim to acclaim is that he has thusfar survived as a minor bureaucrat in the nest of vipers that is his homeland. He now finds himself in an office of real power for the first time.

 ==== Barrowfell ==== ==== Barrowfell ====
 +
 +
 +=== Lord Crow ===
 +
 +**Name:** Lord Crow\\
 +**Player:** Elynor K\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +The ruler of the Realm of Barrowfell has always held the title of Lord Crow. Passed on from generation to generation through nomination of those who might uphold the legacy of this proud title, the Lord Crow of Barrowfell once struck fear into the hearts of the most fearless of bandits, and a loyalty stronger than steel from their followers. Each generation had a new legend to tell, greater than the one before.
 +
 +And though the legends are still told, they are old and faded. Since the rise of Camelot, the Lord Crow became a figurehead; a tool to pacify, not to rule. Getting back to the legends of old after the Fall returned power to Barrowfell has proven difficult. This is the third year since this Lord Crow was given the title, after the previous one - his brother - fell victim to golden fever. Though he has ruled well enough to calm some of the chaos after the Fall, and with enough assertion not to be accused of weakness, people still whisper that it invites poor luck to be near him for too long, that perhaps he is cursed. For, though he is still a young man he has already lost his brother to fever, and two wives; the first going missing almost three years ago, the second passing from natural causes last year. Barrovians are a superstitious lot and so the Lord Crow is approached with hesitation. 
 +
 +Though he often secludes himself in the great fortress of Mount Knoll, rumour has it the Lord Crow is reaching out to make alliances with the less superstitious in order to help stabilise Barrowfell. His journey to Camelot is likely to be no exception.

 +=== Sire Graer Pharrell of Darach Mor, Knight of Nasturtium ===
 +
 +**Name:** Sire Graer Pharrell of Darach Mor, Knight of Nasturtium\\
 +**Player:** Will T\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +Not for nothing did Sire Pharrell take the flower of victory as his title. He came out of the womb locked in combat with his twin brother and spent his whole youth striving to be the better of the two. Eager in training, study and chores, Graer grew up as a headstrong and driven man. Ever striving to be the better of the pair, Graer and his twin Ennis both travelled to Darach Mor to swear their vows to the Monarch as Knights, as their father had. Both served admirably and courageously. But, when a fearsome scaled beast came storming out of the woods to threaten the keep, only Graer survived. Stricken by grief and regret, he nearly forsook his vows and responsibilities, bereft of the reason he had strived so hard. Alone, he went into the deep forests. For thirty days and knights he was lost to the trees. On the thirty-first day, dressed in the hide of a bear, he returned, filled with a renewed strength. No-one knows what happened in the wilds to soothe his grief, but the Knight of Nasturtium remains a valiant and stalwart defender of the realm.

 +
 +**Name:** Sire Lana Tanille of Bowthor Mor, Knight of Gladiolus\\
 +**Player:** Rosie W\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +Best described as a survivor, Lana made it through her first home being burnt to the ground and the second being overrun by a raiding band of beasts. Her hamlet was not so fortunate. Life went on. She hired bards, rose memorials and prayed for their memory. It did nothing. The Grand Father Oak’s teaching moved her. She strove to be named a Knight. As soon as she was accepted into the order she claimed the Gladiolus, the flower of remembrance. 
 +
 +Sire Tannile plants a bulb at the site of every great battle they pass so, when peace befalls the hundred realms, there is beauty as well as due honour for the fallen. Her service is focused on freeing Cedunon from the sorrows of their loss and giving them hope that their protectors work ceaselessly for their safety.

 +=== Ranger-General Faolan Valcrest ===
 +
 +**Name:** Ranger-General Faolan Valcrest\\
 +**Player:** Matthew C\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +Orphaned at a young age, Faolan was taken in by the household of Cynwrig Valcrest, a Ranger-Captain in the militia the Cerrid region maintained as local enforcement under Camelot rule. He was raised and educated in the ways of the Cerrid, tending the fields, learning the realms craft and training to defend the lands.
 +
 +When he came of age, Faolan followed Cynwrig into the militia, taking up his position as Ranger-Captain when Cynwrig was prompted to the position of Ranger-General. 
 +
 +When Camelot fell, Faolan helped lead the Cerrid as they fought against the waves of invading Saxons, carving out the realms independence, but losing his father figure just as overall victory was achieved. 
 +
 +Taking up his father’s mantle, he has helped protect Cerrid as it learns its independence once more. With Camelot opening its gates once again, Valcrest has been sent by the Morrigan to represent Cerrid’s interests and potentially settle some old scores.
 +

 +
 +=== Tora Cairn ===
 +
 +**Name:** Captain Tora Cairn\\
 +**Player:** Alice T\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +Tora Cairn is the youngest daughter of one of the more prominent noble families in her realm of Cerrid. Her early life was fairly content and happy enough, even with her constant squabbling with her siblings (most of it was in jest), she grew up a bit wilder than a noblewoman was expected to be with her more adventurous interests and quick temper. 
 +
 +Her numerous siblings took up roles that greatly benefitted their family such as studying magecraft, becoming a scholar, marrying advantageously or in the case of the eldest preparing to take over the household. Tora found herself slightly overshadowed from a young age because of this and struggled with finding a place for herself. She had no real interest in scholarly arts or magic, there was no one who took her fancy long enough to wed either. 
 +
 +Inspired after listening to her Grandmother’s tales of her own youth where she joined the small militia of the where she eventually became a Captain, Tora took it upon herself to follow the same path. This upset her parents some as they wanted to keep their youngest close to home, though they ultimately respected her choices when they saw how happy it made her. 
 +
 +However her path to this role only gave her a fiercer need to prove herself as she became aware early on that some considered her steady rise through the ranks was down to her family rather than her own skill. This has made her even more hot-headed and quick to start fights. 
 +
 +As Captain she serves directly under General Faolan Valcrest, a man who recognises her talents and does his best to temper her attitude when he can. Valcrest is one of the only people she will truly listen to and even he is subject to her occasion sharp remarks.

 +

 +
 +A soul of wonder and passion, Elain has spent much of their life so far squirrelled away in old estates, interacting little with the wider world. Now, on personal request from their Queen, they come to be inspired, to laud the passion they see in others... oh, and to strive for the Realm, of course.

 +**Name:** Volanto\\
 +**Player:** Moss C\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** He/Him\\
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +
 +After stumbling (quite literally) into the Hundred Realms having fallen off the back of Behemoth, Volanto, a sprite personification of dreams about flying, threw himself into finding his Lost Realm a new home. Previously being simply responsible for delivering the dreams he represents to citizens across the lands, he has taken up a mantle of leadership since the portals opened to resettle the Realm of Dream - which given his flighty, over-excitable nature, could almost be considered a miracle by some standards!
 +
 +He was elected to monarchy for his role in saving the Realm, and still doesn't quite know what to make of the idea of authority, but hey, he's having a good time with it.

 +**Bio:**\\
 +
 +Kreak initially left the Goblin Lands with only one goal, to become the first Goblin Knight of the Round Table, however on meeting those that she'd set her aspirations on joining they helped her find a new path. Her own. 
 +
 +Kreak has now set out on their own story to become the first (and best) Goblin Ambassador and is planning on making the Goblin Lands the best it can be. She has taken the first big step after her initial efforts in Camelot with the Goblin Queen seeing fit to deputise Kreak to speak on their behalf. 
 +
 +With this in place Kreak now sets her goal back to Camelot to continue the efforts of introducing Goblins to other's ways of life and more importantly to introduce others to Goblin's ways of life.

 +After travelling for several years, learning the arts of healing and magic, Fliberis “settled” in a viking village. While initially he had planned to move on after trading magical or medical services for much needed supplies, he found work as a healer and teacher to be very rewarding. Now the village has grown into the realm of Halrgardr; he has taught many of its inhabitants since they were children including its queen Freyrna who still seeks his council to this day, and sometimes even follows it…

 +**Bio:**\\
 +The Mage-Queen of Legion matches her maternal ancestors in magical prowess, and has long been fêted for her dedication to the economy and her people's welfare. From fertility rituals to make fields overflow with wheat ears, to enchanted waterwells that forever draw pure, she works tirelessly for the nation.

 +**Player:** Zac S\\ 
 +**IC Pronouns:** He/Him
  
 +**Bio:**\\
 +Robert Kyngeston is the austere commander-in-chief of the Legion forces. As the husband of the reigning monarch he enjoys a secure position and wide remit. Despite his apparent despotic appointment he is very popular amongst his people. Approval ratings gathered in the yearly census have scored regular 100% satisfaction several years in a row. In his brash and excitable youth Robert was often seen spearheading the mighty Legion armies’ grand offensives. These days it is said he prefers subtlety; rumours suggest he has been training half the realm in specialised covert tactics. Robert often does his duty in receiving visiting dignitaries in the Eternal bastion. He does so gracefully and with delicate tact for the most part, it is unfortunate that he is somewhat forgetful, always having to rudely leave the room to fetch some misplaced item. Robert and Griselda do not have any publicly recognised children, though a significant amount of Legionnaires bear a very strong resemblance to Robert himself.

 + 
 +Aeron the Sunbringer earned her title by single handedly protecting a hamlet in Ryfell from a group of bandits, who would attack under cover of darkness. They say she stayed up until not even the owls could see, and then when she heard the approach of the enemy blinded them with a brilliant spell of sunlight. Those that fought her fell to her blade, and those that surrendered were taken to the Monarch for Justice.

 +Cadfan has become a friend and counselor to the Queen of Rhyfel, who has appointed him general of her armies, despite, or perhaps because, he is not himself a man of war.

-=== Lord Crow === 
- 
-**Name:** Lord Crow\\ 
-**Player:** Elynor K\\ 
-**IC Pronouns:** He/Him 
- 
-**Bio:**\\ 
-The ruler of the Realm of Barrowfell has always held the title of Lord Crow. Passed on from generation to generation through nomination of those who might uphold the legacy of this proud title, the Lord Crow of Barrowfell once struck fear into the hearts of the most fearless of bandits, and a loyalty stronger than steel from their followers. Each generation had a new legend to tell, greater than the one before. 
- 
-And though the legends are still told, they are old and faded. Since the rise of Camelot, the Lord Crow became a figurehead; a tool to pacify, not to rule. Getting back to the legends of old after the Fall returned power to Barrowfell has proven difficult. This is the third year since this Lord Crow was given the title, after the previous one - his brother - fell victim to golden fever. Though he has ruled well enough to calm some of the chaos after the Fall, and with enough assertion not to be accused of weakness, people still whisper that it invites poor luck to be near him for too long, that perhaps he is cursed. For, though he is still a young man he has already lost his brother to fever, and two wives; the first going missing almost three years ago, the second passing from natural causes last year. Barrovians are a superstitious lot and so the Lord Crow is approached with hesitation.  
- 
-Though he often secludes himself in the great fortress of Mount Knoll, rumour has it the Lord Crow is reaching out to make alliances with the less superstitious in order to help stabilise Barrowfell. His journey to Camelot is likely to be no exception.

- 
-**Bio:**\\ 
-Sire Drystan was raised by the druids near Ceart Beith and learned to fight under the tutelage of one the more belligerent magicians of the forest. He now spends his time defending travellers coming and going across Cedunon. He took the White Tulip as his flower, representing Forgiveness, Remembrance, Worthiness and Sincerity, as a contrast to his normal carefree and easy going nature. He lays these flowers at the places where travellers were not fortunate enough to have had the protection of a Knight of Cedunon and tends the roadside shrines that remember the sacrifices of knights of ages past.

-Devout and idealistic, the future king Endellion began as the keeper of a humble shrine, providing aid and sanctuary to questing knights and weary travellers alike.  
-He was moved to leave his vigil by the coming of a gravely wounded knight, who asked him to take news of their quest back to Darach Mor. Once his task was completed he remained in the stronghold, and was eventually taken on as squire by the same knight he had tended. 
-The promise of knighthood, however, was not enough for Endellion. Determined to prove his worth further, he travelled deep into the heart of the forest, to the grove of Grandfather Oak himself, there to hold himself in vigil and contemplation for a year and a day, searching for insight and a way to further better his kingdom. 
-At the end of his vigil he was granted a blessing from the great oak; an acorn which he could present as proof of his right to rule. Upon his ascension he took the title of Knight of Holly - the evergreen twin to the oak tree.

-Not for nothing did Sire Pharrell take the flower of victory as his title. He came out of the womb locked in combat with his twin brother and spent his whole youth striving to be the better of the two. Eager in training, study and chores, Graer grew up as a headstrong and driven man. Ever striving to be the better of the pair, Graer and his twin Ennis both travelled to Darach Mor to swear their vows to the Monarch as Knights, as their father had. Both served admirably and courageously. But, when a fearsome scaled beast came storming out of the woods to threaten the keep, only Graer survived. Stricken by grief and regret, he nearly forsook his vows and responsibilities, bereft of the reason he had strived so hard. Alone, he went into the deep forests. For thirty days and knights he was lost to the trees. On the thirty-first day, dressed in the hide of a bear, he returned, filled with a renewed strength. No-one knows what happened in the wilds to soothe his grief, but the Knight of Nasturtium remains a valiant and stalwart defender of the realm.

As soon as she was accepted into the order she claimed the Gladiolus, the flower of remembrance.

-Sire Tannile plants a bulb at the site of every great battle they pass so, when peace befalls the hundred realms, there is beauty as well as due honour for the fallen.

- 
-Tragedy struck, Torin's mother died when Torin was young. Driven out of his senses by grief, he left the Keep.  
- 
-The future Queen, Endellion, raised a group of squires to track him. 
- 
-When the band came upon him, he resisted their attempts to draw him back. It was Queen Endellion who turned him from flight to a purpose: a quest to find the mouth of the Hynt, the sacred river feeding Grandfather Oak. 
- 
-After many trials they reached their goal and Torin carried back a bucketworth of water in his helm. This water nourished Endellion's acorn and is credited by some with the growth that cemented her claim to the throne. 
- 
-Ser Kenelm passed in a fire at his manor. Torin planted a cutting of Queen Endellion's oak at the site. After staying with the royal court for awhile, he took a 5 year patrol of the boundaries of Cedunon. On returning he presented tribute to the Queen and knighted Sire Torin Garrick, Knight of the Heather; for his solitary nature and devoted service.

-**Name:** Captain Tora Cairn\\ 
-**Player:** Alice T\\ 
-**IC Pronouns:** She/Her 
- 
-**Bio:**\\ 
-Tora Cairn is the youngest daughter of one of the more prominent noble families in her realm of Cerrid. Her early life was fairly content and happy enough, even with her constant squabbling with her siblings (most of it was in jest), she grew up a bit wilder than a noblewoman was expected to be with her more adventurous interests and quick temper.  
- 
-Her numerous siblings took up roles that greatly benefitted their family such as studying magecraft, becoming a scholar, marrying advantageously or in the case of the eldest preparing to take over the household. Tora found herself slightly overshadowed from a young age because of this and struggled with finding a place for herself. She had no real interest in scholarly arts or magic, there was no one who took her fancy long enough to wed either.  
- 
-Inspired after listening to her Grandmother’s tales of her own youth where she joined the small militia of the where she eventually became a Captain, Tora took it upon herself to follow the same path. This upset her parents some as they wanted to keep their youngest close to home, though they ultimately respected her choices when they saw how happy it made her.  
- 
-However her path to this role only gave her a fiercer need to prove herself as she became aware early on that some considered her steady rise through the ranks was down to her family rather than her own skill. This has made her even more hot-headed and quick to start fights.  
- 
-As Captain she serves directly under General Faolan Valcrest, a man who recognises her talents and does his best to temper her attitude when he can. Valcrest is one of the only people she will truly listen to and even he is subject to her occasion sharp remarks.

In his brash and excitable youth Robert was often seen spearheading the mighty Legion armies’ grand offensives. These days it is said he prefers subtlety; rumours suggest he has been training half the realm in specialised covert tactics. Robert often does his duty in receiving visiting dignitaries in the Eternal bastion. He does so gracefully and with delicate tact for the most part, it is unfortunate that he is somewhat forgetful, always having to rudely leave the room to fetch some misplaced item. Robert and Griselda do not have any publicly recognised children, though a significant amount of Legionnaires bear a very strong resemblance to Robert himself.

 Queen Arianwen, like many Rhyfellian monarchs before her, takes a direct and active interest in the well-being of her citizens. Renowned for her gentleness, her fairness, and her love of song, she is equally a friend to her human subjects as she is to the many animals that dwell within her nation. Since her occupancy on the throne, many are the stories of a kind and mysterious stranger in light blue quietly intervening in people's lives to bring lovers together, to find lost children, and to rescue woodland creatures from inconvenience. When asked about her possible involvement in such tales, the Queen will merely smile, and comment that there are ever so many good-hearted people in her Realm. Queen Arianwen, like many Rhyfellian monarchs before her, takes a direct and active interest in the well-being of her citizens.

-**Bio:**\\ 
-The Glamorgans were, originally, a family of wealthy merchants and land owners. The first king of Sera, Dannyl Glamorgan, was a shrew businessman and a political force to be reckoned with. He established the realm, unifying the region under his banner, with clever use of words, gold and his personal guard. 
- 
-He was a good ruler, and so was his son, who succeeded him. 
- 
-His grandson, however, was an avaricious and selfish man, with no talent for ruling. He cared not for the well-being of his people, nor for anything that did not enrich the royal coffers. 
- 
-It was, for many, a relief when he died, officially due to a coup d'etat where nobles of his court tried to overthrow him. A band of mercenaries in his service tried to intervene, but the king and many of the court died. They did, however, manage to save the two Princesses. The eldest Glamorgan daughter, Niniveh, is now Queen. She is smart, ambitious and ruthless in the pursue of her realm's safety and prosperity. 
-Extremely devout to her Gods, she is the first Serian Monarch to ascend to the throne with the title of Queen and High Priestess.

 Daughter of a farmer, Raine grew up in a simple country lifestyle. She never knew her mother, who her had died before she was born. Raine was a restless child, rarely content with the slow pace of farm life and often getting into, scrapes in her quest for adventure. She liked to go down into the local village in the evenings, persuading passing travellers to tell her stories. She bought a sword and spent hours practicing the moves she'd seen in the few tourneys she'd managed to sneak away to and, over time, gained some measure of proficiency. Eventually she joined a mercenary band hoping to fulfil her dreams of glory and to prove herself more than just a farmer’s daughter. She travelled with the group for several months, moving from job to job before they were recruited to the service of the King of Sera. During an uprising of his court they defended the royal family but, hugely outnumbered, only managed to save the two princesses. Raine remains, along with the rest of her group, in the service of Niniveh who is now the Queen. Daughter of a farmer, Raine grew up in a simple country lifestyle.

After staying with the royal court for awhile, he took a 5 year patrol of the boundaries of Cedunon. On returning he presented tribute to the Queen and knighted Sire Torin Garrick, Knight of the Heather; for his solitary nature and devoted service.
