-Four years ago, a dark storm raged over the capital of AlgarothNone dared to leave the confines of their homes - even the Dread Court stayed locked away in the safe stone walls of the castle they had wrested into their control. +"How nice of you to rejoin usDid you know that with this preservative art, I can keep you alive indefinitely? What once was used for salvation is now turned toward other ends. I shall ask you again: Where are the rebels?"
  
-They barely heard the knocking on the gates at firstIt must have been wind, or branches, or rocks. When the gateguards finally decided it was worth investigating the sound, the girl they found on other side of the door barely had strength to raise her hand again. Wrapped in a thintorn cloak, her tatty boots stained with the blood of her blisters, she was a sorry sight to put before the Grand Warlock, but despite her weakness she still stood tall before him, met his eyes and told her tale: she was a sorceress from a kingdom to the East, whose magic had urged her to travel to Algaroth and offer her power to Skarn's ruleThe Court laughed at first, for how could such a wretch be of use to their cruel king? +Every garden needs to be periodically weededThe First Apostle stands ready to prune back any unrulystray growth within the kingdom and ensure that only those who demonstrate appropriate adherence to the Dread Axioms are permitted to rise to greatness.
  
-A moment later, at a gesture from her cold, dirt-streaked hand, half of the court guard fell to the floor, their screams of agony filling the room. The hideous melody lasted until her hand fell againher eyes never leaving Skarn's, proud and determined, sure of her power and her new place in his court+Previously rumoured to have served as an unremarkable priestess of the God of Albion within the kingdom of FairwynnLeona'fortuitously-timed conversion to the Dread Axioms and alignment with the cause of Grand Warlock Skarn saw her placed into an unprecedented position of power as First Apostle of the newly reforged Dark Templar order.
  
-The next day, washed, warmed and restored to the cold beauty that had been concealed by her hard journey, Ysaura took her place at his side.  
  
-And when Leona returned from Camelot with the blood of the warlock and archon on her sword, Ysaura stood with her. Algaroth is her salvation. She is devoted, loyal, and faultlessly faithful to her new kingdom and its Axioms, whoever sits on its throne.

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

- 
-**Name:** Willow Lynn\\ 
-**Player:** Deborah O\\ 
-**IC Pronouns:** She/Her 
- 
-**Bio:**\\ 
-Willow was raised as a ward of Lord and Lady Wellesley. Lord Wellesley brought her home as a baby and refused to tell anyone where she came from other than Lady Wellesley, and even that reluctantly. There were many rumours about where she came from, none substantiated, made worse by the unusual rules around her upbringing. 
- 
-Willow was not allowed to hold weapons, or wear armour. While her foster siblings trained in fighting, Willow read in the library and walked in the gardens, gradually discovering and developing her magical potential and her skill with healing. It was sometimes a lonely life, and the other children picked on her from time to time, but she learned to find her own kind of strength. 
- 
-When Camelot fell there was some upheaval, and Wellesley castle came under attack, Lord and Lady Wellesley died, taking the secret of Willow's parentage with them. Perhaps this invitation will be the catalyst that shows her the meaning behind all those strange rules, or lets her discover more about her history and herself. There truly is only one way to find out.

 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… After travelling for several years, learning the arts of healing and magic, Fliberis “settled” in a viking village.

She treats them all like an extended family. Her generous nature is known outside her realm, and she will send help to anyone she believes will use the aid for good, often going herself if the matter is a troublesome beast. 
- 
-Many of the people of Silfrfold have known her since long before she became a queen and will happily tell stories of her as a child in a village, usually involving brandishing a wooden sword at some invisible beast whilst escaping the clutches of her terrible captor Fliberis - her exasperated teacher.

- 
-Even among the Saxons, Eldrad is known to have unorthodox views on the destruction of Camelot, insisting that the fall was a ‘metaphysical necessity’ required for the world to develop and change, and that some stories must forever remain untold, for they can never be made sensible within Camelot’s paradigm.

Given how feared the wizard was in life, it didn't take long before rumours of his demise and, later, his daughter's survival, spread far and wide. It was expected, anticipated even, that Hildebrand would take up his reign of terror. 
- 
-That didn't happen. Instead, Hildebrand - alongside her father's protege, Eldrad the Thunderhead - has eked out a quiet existence among Saxon storytellers and small-time magic-users. The world has heard little of her. 
- 
-Still, some among the Saxons whisper and wonder. One day, The Burnished Eye may well rise again.

But the creature's stamina was greater than their own and in time... they both fell. 
- 
-Aetheran woke in a clearing, the trees above not the same as those back home. A strange person stood at the head of a circle around him. Adorned with bone and pelt, their faces covered with paint and bone. Some tended his wounds others chanted, their repeating words burnt like hot coals. “By the blood of the beast, you will be chosen”

-**Bio:**\\ 
-Brielse hadn’t always been the General but there were some days when she wondered if anyone actually remembered that her first name wasn’t “General”. Renown for her strategy, snappy dress sense and her long term close personal relationship with Queen Niniveh Glamorgan. It’s widely known that Brielse and Niniveh grew up together, one the daughter of the King and the other the daughter of Duke Aimar – the King’s closest advisor and General of his forces, in a court where women were mere pawns to gain money and power. Both dreamed of something better for themselves, for the power to choose their own destiny. 
- 
-General Brielse is a fair and even-handed authority figure in Sera, who came to power after a  group of jealous nobles attacked the court, killing the king and several of his closest advisors, Brielse’s father among them. With the help of a group of mercenaries who were in Court at the time, Brielse was able to escape with the princess, now Queen whilst the mercenaries put down the rebellion and saved the realm.

-"How nice of you to rejoin usDid you know that with this preservative art, I can keep you alive indefinitely? What once was used for salvation is now turned toward other ends. I shall ask you again: Where are the rebels?"+Four years ago, a dark storm raged over the capital of AlgarothNone dared to leave the confines of their homes - even the Dread Court stayed locked away in the safe stone walls of the castle they had wrested into their control. 
  
-Every garden needs to be periodically weededThe First Apostle stands ready to prune back any unrulystray growth within the kingdom and ensure that only those who demonstrate appropriate adherence to the Dread Axioms are permitted to rise to greatness.+They barely heard the knocking on the gates at firstIt must have been wind, or branches, or rocks. When the gateguards finally decided it was worth investigating the sound, the girl they found on other side of the door barely had strength to raise her hand again. Wrapped in a thintorn cloak, her tatty boots stained with the blood of her blisters, she was a sorry sight to put before the Grand Warlock, but despite her weakness she still stood tall before him, met his eyes and told her tale: she was a sorceress from a kingdom to the East, whose magic had urged her to travel to Algaroth and offer her power to Skarn's ruleThe Court laughed at first, for how could such a wretch be of use to their cruel king? 
  
-Previously rumoured to have served as an unremarkable priestess of the God of Albion within the kingdom of FairwynnLeona'fortuitously-timed conversion to the Dread Axioms and alignment with the cause of Grand Warlock Skarn saw her placed into an unprecedented position of power as First Apostle of the newly reforged Dark Templar order.+A moment later, at a gesture from her cold, dirt-streaked hand, half of the court guard fell to the floor, their screams of agony filling the room. The hideous melody lasted until her hand fell againher eyes never leaving Skarn's, proud and determined, sure of her power and her new place in his court.

 +The next day, washed, warmed and restored to the cold beauty that had been concealed by her hard journey, Ysaura took her place at his side.  
 + 
 +And when Leona returned from Camelot with the blood of the warlock and archon on her sword, Ysaura stood with her. Algaroth is her salvation. She is devoted, loyal, and faultlessly faithful to her new kingdom and its Axioms, whoever sits on its throne.

Determined to prove her worth further, she travelled deep into the heart of the forest, to the grove of Grandfather Oak himself, there to hold herself in vigil and contemplation for a year and a day, searching for insight and a way to further better her kingdom.
 +At the end of her vigil she was granted a blessing from the great oak; an acorn which she could present as proof of her right to rule. Upon her ascension she took the title of Knight of Holly - the evergreen twin to the oak tree.

There were many rumours about where she came from, none substantiated, made worse by the unusual rules around her upbringing.
 +
 +Willow was not allowed to hold weapons, or wear armour. While her foster siblings trained in fighting, Willow read in the library and walked in the gardens, gradually discovering and developing her magical potential and her skill with healing. It was sometimes a lonely life, and the other children picked on her from time to time, but she learned to find her own kind of strength.

 +When Camelot fell there was some upheaval, and Wellesley castle came under attack, Lord and Lady Wellesley died, taking the secret of Willow's parentage with them. Perhaps this invitation will be the catalyst that shows her the meaning behind all those strange rules, or lets her discover more about her history and herself. There truly is only one way to find out.

 **Bio:**\\ **Bio:**\\
 Deas is a troubled soul. She lost all her immediate family when she was 11 and was brought up by alcoholic and abusive uncle. However, the experience meant she spent as much time as she could away from him presence and focused her energy of learning the art of warfare and discovering the land and, through that, herself. At the age of 17 she killed her uncle in an act of self defence and was banished. She has been wandering for many years and the loneliness has left her craving human contact, whilst also being incredibly distrustful. She eventually came across Freyma Mijadottir and was inspired by her leadership and has been welcomed into Halrgardr. Deas is resourceful, strong willed, impatient and is a fighter. She also likes mischief and trying to lead people astray. She has found that she often not taken seriously and displays a hardened approach to some people. However, deep down, she is caring, concerned for people's well being, loyal and protective. Deas is a troubled soul.

 +=== Aetheran ===
 +
 +**Name:** Aetheran\\
 +**Player:** Kyle C\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** He/Him/They/Them
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +When Aetheran came of age he was called to arms, it should have been a test of adulthood, a routine “hunt”. It was a massacre. It was vicious and unrelenting it tore men and women to shreds until only he and his farther remained. They fought back to back. But the creature's stamina was greater than their own and in time... they both fell.
 +
 +Aetheran woke in a clearing, the trees above not the same as those back home. A strange person stood at the head of a circle around him. Adorned with bone and pelt, their faces covered with paint and bone. Some tended his wounds others chanted, their repeating words burnt like hot coals. “By the blood of the beast, you will be chosen”
 +
 +He woke to whispers, they danced around his head like a thunderous rapture. Hands-on his head, nails digging in, slowly gaining control.  He stood, not knowing where he was. His family dead, he stumbled into the closest village, they helped him gain control of his new outlook on life. Serving with some of their mercenaries and their general, he found a home....

 +=== Brielse Aimar ===
 +
 +**Name:** Brielse Aimar\\
 +**Player:** Louise B\\
 +**IC Pronouns:** She/Her
 +
 +**Bio:**\\
 +Brielse hadn’t always been the General but there were some days when she wondered if anyone actually remembered that her first name wasn’t “General”. Renown for her strategy, snappy dress sense and her long term close personal relationship with Queen Niniveh Glamorgan. It’s widely known that Brielse and Niniveh grew up together, one the daughter of the King and the other the daughter of Duke Aimar – the King’s closest advisor and General of his forces, in a court where women were mere pawns to gain money and power. Both dreamed of something better for themselves, for the power to choose their own destiny.
 +
 +General Brielse is a fair and even-handed authority figure in Sera, who came to power after a  group of jealous nobles attacked the court, killing the king and several of his closest advisors, Brielse’s father among them. With the help of a group of mercenaries who were in Court at the time, Brielse was able to escape with the princess, now Queen whilst the mercenaries put down the rebellion and saved the realm.
