Charter

Long ago there was a time of unrest. There was a time of brokenness. Darkness ruled over the faces of the islands and the continents. Dark lords ruled all. The peoples of the lands awaited a savior, a prince. One who would ride in from the east and bring salvation to those who stood in bondage.

Days turned into weeks. Weeks vanished into months and months poured smoothly into years. Ages piled up and the sons and the daughters began to fear. They began to fear that there could not be a better day. And soon... many forgot.

The dreams of better times were soon like a fleeting memory, or waking up from a dream. mothers no longer told the stories to their infants. Fathers no longer recited the tales of the hero to come to their sons. Hope seemed... gone.

--------------------------------------------->

It was sometime during the fall of year 300 of the Tredithia that he was born. A child, fair to look upon and ruddy, he possessed a certain aura such that she who bore him knew he was somehow different from the rest. She, however, knew not the stories.

Her house was raided in the year 3014 of Tredithia by a platoon of Great king Artkenesis' men during the fear campaigns, which were the worst of the wars raised against the peasant class. She was brutally raped and murdered. They showed no regard for the young man standing in the corner.

This is where the stories deviate friend. Many say that the boy was filled with power from on high that day and that he himself posessed with power mutilated Artkenesis' raiders in such a way that it caused a great fear to come over their battalions such as caused them to leave the city in fear, eventually leading to the great day.

Others say that the boy ran off and hid ever plotting the great day until it he had amassed sufficient following and skills to wage the great day.

There are also stories of this child which have been given to the followers of Barnabas and Angelique, however those loyal to Leto tend to hold the true historical linkings to these stories.

3021 - Tredithia Spring

An army in golden armor marched upon the castle of Prince Damian Theldon, the cruel persecutor of the people and invalid son of Artkenesis. The city was razed in 17 hours time. The army then vanished only to arise 36 hours later to invade the kingdom of Forellawn in the realm of Artkenesis himself. Artkenesis surrendered to the leader of this army who hung him in the square impaling him and allowing his insides to be devoured by the vultures and the crows.

The army conquered the entirety of Forellawn. And such was the calling of The Great Day. Men, Women. That young man was my great grandfather, Solas Verez. And from him to my Grandfather, Lukas Lee Verez, to my Father Vincent, we have guarded this House of Cards.

We have always known that political power belongs to our people, but that justice and strength must also be maintained. In order to achieve these goals we have all of you at this table: Master Mages, Intelligence Agents, and warriors. many of you posess grand skill in all areas.

We must remain vigilent. Many evil rulers have arisen this age. Many who consider themselves the greatest powers of all time. And these are not to be taken lightly. LEt us be vigilent and let us never be caught unaware. may Forellawn stand forever.
