To repent his infidelity, the Baroness convinced the Baron to give up the bastard baby over to the temple of Celradorn the Defender that he might grow up with divine grace for the "shame" of his conception. The Baron conceded. Upon achieving adulthood and discovering the truth of his origin, Daevyn left the Barony of D'Arongil never to return. He met up with Lund, Jaze and Ezkial in Bluside and has ever since traveled with them, aiding in their quests, routing out evil and defending those worthy of his potent spiritual protections.</li> </ul><p><strong>Darmon Kar Denil</strong></p><p>Grand Duke of the Duchy of Denil, 65th of the Denil line. It is whispered among the court that the Grand Duke is, in fact, most powerful than the crown-prince himself. </p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Feorn Firehand</strong></p><p>Feorn is a dwarf hailing from the Daegun Mountains. A mercenary sword, mountain guide and "expert monster hunter" currently residing in Andril, Feorn is ever eager to take on a challenge or hunt to remove him from the hustle and bustle of city life. Whether with his automatic crossbow, broad sword or the variety of exotic and obscure items in his possession (to defeat or ward off any number of "baddies") Feorn is happy to lend his services to any...who offer a respectable fee, of course. </p><p></p><p><strong>Granion Trueblade</strong></p><p>Lord Speaker of the council of Andril and a former head of the Blue Guard.

Lord (Baron) of the Denil Barony of Trisliam and a warrior of some renown. </p><p></p><p><strong>The Heroes of the Thorn</strong></p><p>In the known history of the realms of Orea, the Heroes of the Thorn are the most widely remembered company of heroes. Their adventures live on in countless tales and songs heard to this day across all of Orea. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>The fellowship is credited with the ultimate defeat of the demon-godson, Aishapra, thus bringing an end to the Scourge Wars nearly 1,000 years ago. Various members of the group also helped to shape the geo-political structure of the realms, even to the present day. </p><p></p><p></p><p>The most commonly accepted list of the Heroes of the Thorn includes: the half-elvin bard,<strong><em>Calidwyn Spellsinger</em></strong>; his champion the swordsman, <strong><em>Elibon Redsword</em></strong>, of the House of Lorn who would unite the lands of Grinlia and become that realm's first High-King; a neophyte <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/realms/sd_org.html#gilea" target="_blank"><em>Daughter of Gilea</em></a> who would become the goddess' prophesied champion <strong>"the Whitethorn", <em>Physha of the Flaming Hair</em></strong>; the ranger-captain from Hawkview, <strong><em>Corellon Oakbrow</em></strong> (also credited with founding the fellowship of the <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/realms/sd_org.html#rangers" target="_blank"><em>Rangers of O'Douhn</em></a>); the wizard <strong><em>Selenus</em></strong> and his apprentice, <strong><em>Keth</em></strong> who would fulfill his own destiny to become the first <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/realms/sd_org.html#dragonmage" target="_blank"><em>Dragonmage</em></a>; the young knight of Eoril, <strong><em>Talador</em></strong>; the gnomish champion, <strong><em>Gnizberlious</em></strong>; the cursed smith turned holy champion, <strong><em>Bors</em></strong>; and the elf warrior, <strong><em>Yrantylar</em></strong>. </p><p></p><p></p><p>The tales of the Heroes of Thorn also commonly include the druidess, <strong><em>Myraine</em></strong> and her great elfcat companion, <strong><em>Nysha</em></strong>; Talador's kinsman, the <strong><em>Prince Aedran</em></strong> of Isthian; the rogue, <strong><em>Tarc</em></strong>; and the zephari mystic, <strong><em>Peringyr</em></strong> who aided Keth in his quest to become Dragonmage. The founder of the Miralostae nation, <strong><em>Lady Nirastrelyn</em></strong>, is also sometimes included in this list as she was Yyrantylar's mistress and sent her beloved to join the heroes' quest. A powerful sorceress herself, Nirastrelyn also aided the companions as she could in their fight against the forces of the Scourge. </p><p></p><p><strong>The House of Aedran</strong></p><p>After the Scourge Wars and the unification of Grinlia, the Highking Elibon named the lord Aedran of Mostrial as his Steward in the city of Brightmoon. The House of Aedran ruled the city for several generations before the 5th Highking of Grinlia sent his sons to be fostered (and protected from his scheming enemies), making Brightmoon the Crown City of Grinlia and further uniting the southern Duchy of Denil with the vast northern realms. Now the crown prince, currently <strong><em>Prince Gerren L’lorn</em></strong>, rules Brightmoon awaiting the time he will claim the High Seat in Aberol. The House of Aedran still serves as the prince’s chief adviser, city administrator, and rules as steward in times when no heir exists or is too young (under 16 years old) to rule properly. The current head of the House of Aedran, is Lord Regik Kar Aedran, the 15th generation directly from the prince of Talas Isthian. </p><p></p><p><strong>The House of Calidwyn</strong></p><p>Orea's foremost Bardic college, named for the legendary hero of the Thorn, <em>Calidwyn Spellsinger.</em> The college is located in the Hills of Calidwyn in southern Mostrial. <strong><em>Eothan Eth Wastrath</em></strong> is the current Headminstrel of the House of Calidwyn, hailed as the Lord of Bards. </p><p></p><p><strong>Parfer Kar Bormn</strong></p><p>Commander of the Bronze, the city guard of Brightmoon. He reports directly to the Lord Steward and Crown-Prince Gerren. He will only ever be found in or the immediate vicinity of the city. </p><p></p><p><strong>The Rangers of O'Douhn</strong></p><p>Founded by the legendary hero of the Thorn,<em> Corellon Oakbrow</em>, the Rangers of O’Douhn are pledged to the watchful protection of the Duchy of O’Douhn and thus, the kingdom of Grinlia as a whole. Ever vigilant, the Rangers roam the Grinlian countryside alone or in small bands tracking down and ferreting out evil wherever it festers and aiding/defending the weak and oppressed. They are especially watchful of the borders of the D’Ensior baronies. Despite their name, the organization is not solely composed of rangers, though many are. There are known “Rangers" who are clerics of Sylari and Celradorn, mages, and even a druid or two from time to time. They are rumored to have a secret keep hidden somewhere in the O’Douhn forest, but this has never been verified. The current “Captain” of the Rangers, though each band has it own leader, is <strong><em>Bronner Twobow</em></strong>. </p><p></p><p><strong>The Royal House of L'Lorn</strong></p><p>L'lorn is the royal family of Grinlia begun by Grinlia's first High-King, the Hero of the Thorn, Elibon Redsword of Lorn. Persons of major interest to modern Orea and the current royalty are: <strong><em>Baradith L'lorn</em></strong> (nee O'Kach), the widowed High-Queen, ruler of all Grinlia and sister to the Duke of O'Douhn; <strong><em>Gerren L'lorn</em></strong>, the crown-prince of Grinlia currently ruling the crown-city of Brightmoon in Denil; <strong><em>Annaline Bentril</em></strong> (nee L'Lorn), the Duchess of Resahd, sister to the deceased high-king and Gerren's favorite aunt. Following Gerren, Annaline's sons are next in line for the Grinlian throne. </p><p></p><p><strong>The Starsword Knights</strong></p><p>This order of warriors began as the official honor guard of the high-king of Grinlia. Formed in the days at the end of the Scourge wars, the order upholds the tenets of the major gods of good. Courage (from the god Celradorn), Fortitude (from the goddess Gilea), and Justice (from the god Astar) as symbolized in the great power of the mythic Starsword wielded by the first high-king of Grinlia. Though most often found in and around the royal castle of Grinlia, they do occasionally roam Grinlia’s lands (or quest beyond, though this is only by permission or order of the crown) in search of knightly do-gooding. But they will drop everything and rally to the call of the king. While there is more than one Starsword knight who is a paladin (of Astar or Celradorn typically), the majority are simply warriors of renown with a devout heart to the throne of Grinlia and the power of good. Paladin or not, every Knight of the Starsword pledges themselves to the crown of Grinlia and a patron deity (always a power of good or neutrality). </p><p></p><p><strong>The Steel Dragons</strong></p><p>The adventurers known as the Steel Dragons are the fighting force founded and driven by the Dragonwing brothers of Daenfrii, the Dragonmage-apparent <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_montor.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Montor</em></strong></a> and his warrior brother <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_malac.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Malac.</em></strong></a> The band has maintained various numbers of members over its time but any with the skill and valor who earn the right to be called a Steel Dragon can always be counted on to protect and defend the realms from the forces of evil, wherever they are found. </p><p></p><p></p><p>A general roster of the 'Dragons includes: Montor and Malac, the Miralostae swordsman <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_silran.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Silran</em></strong></a>, his sister the sorceress <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_erilyn.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Erilyn</em></strong></a>, the <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/realms/sd_org.html#protectress" target="_blank">protectress</a> <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_lela.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Lela Eth Mitar</em></strong></a>, <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_carak.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Carak Hillside</em></strong></a> the hairfoot rogue, <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_rhea.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Rhea</em></strong></a> the Lady of the <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/realms/emerald" target="_blank">Emerald Tear</a>, the warrior <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_londar.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Londar</em></strong></a>, the half-elvin huntress <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_aline.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Aline</em></strong></a>, <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_kriton.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Kriton</em></strong></a> the Centaur, the gnome magician <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_gnim.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Gnimilious Soile</em></strong></a> and the Miralostae acrobat called <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_silver.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>"Silver."</em></strong></a> </p><p></p><p></p><p>Other allies who will earn their place among the Steel Dragons are, the Shi'Cynallae herald of the Wind Wizard <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_thillian.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Thillian</em></strong></a>, the monk <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_sianol.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Sianol</em></strong></a>, the priest of Astar named <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_gran.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Gran</em></strong></a>, the Miralostae ranger-priest <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_silran.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Jasilith</em></strong></a> and the zephari fighter <a href="http://file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_stormwing.html" target="_blank"><strong><em>Stormwing</em></strong></a>. </p><p></p><p></p><p>In time, the organization of the Steel Dragons will grow to include a number of teams with adventurers hailing from across the realms, each with exceptional, unusual or unique talents and abilities.

The House of Aedran ruled the city for several generations before the 5th Highking of Grinlia sent his sons to be fostered (and protected from his scheming enemies), making Brightmoon the Crown City of Grinlia and further uniting the southern Duchy of Denil with the vast northern realms. Now the crown prince, currently [B][I]Prince Gerren L’lorn[/I][/B], rules Brightmoon awaiting the time he will claim the High Seat in Aberol. The House of Aedran still serves as the prince’s chief adviser, city administrator, and rules as steward in times when no heir exists or is too young (under 16 years old) to rule properly. The current head of the House of Aedran, is Lord Regik Kar Aedran, the 15th generation directly from the prince of Talas Isthian. [B]The House of Calidwyn[/B] Orea's foremost Bardic college, named for the legendary hero of the Thorn, [I]Calidwyn Spellsinger.[/I] The college is located in the Hills of Calidwyn in southern Mostrial. [B][I]Eothan Eth Wastrath[/I][/B] is the current Headminstrel of the House of Calidwyn, hailed as the Lord of Bards. [B]Parfer Kar Bormn[/B] Commander of the Bronze, the city guard of Brightmoon. He reports directly to the Lord Steward and Crown-Prince Gerren. He will only ever be found in or the immediate vicinity of the city. [B]The Rangers of O'Douhn[/B] Founded by the legendary hero of the Thorn,[I] Corellon Oakbrow[/I], the Rangers of O’Douhn are pledged to the watchful protection of the Duchy of O’Douhn and thus, the kingdom of Grinlia as a whole. Ever vigilant, the Rangers roam the Grinlian countryside alone or in small bands tracking down and ferreting out evil wherever it festers and aiding/defending the weak and oppressed. They are especially watchful of the borders of the D’Ensior baronies. Despite their name, the organization is not solely composed of rangers, though many are. There are known “Rangers" who are clerics of Sylari and Celradorn, mages, and even a druid or two from time to time. They are rumored to have a secret keep hidden somewhere in the O’Douhn forest, but this has never been verified. The current “Captain” of the Rangers, though each band has it own leader, is [B][I]Bronner Twobow[/I][/B]. [B]The Royal House of L'Lorn[/B] L'lorn is the royal family of Grinlia begun by Grinlia's first High-King, the Hero of the Thorn, Elibon Redsword of Lorn. Persons of major interest to modern Orea and the current royalty are: [B][I]Baradith L'lorn[/I][/B] (nee O'Kach), the widowed High-Queen, ruler of all Grinlia and sister to the Duke of O'Douhn; [B][I]Gerren L'lorn[/I][/B], the crown-prince of Grinlia currently ruling the crown-city of Brightmoon in Denil; [B][I]Annaline Bentril[/I][/B] (nee L'Lorn), the Duchess of Resahd, sister to the deceased high-king and Gerren's favorite aunt. Following Gerren, Annaline's sons are next in line for the Grinlian throne. [B]The Starsword Knights[/B] This order of warriors began as the official honor guard of the high-king of Grinlia. Formed in the days at the end of the Scourge wars, the order upholds the tenets of the major gods of good. Courage (from the god Celradorn), Fortitude (from the goddess Gilea), and Justice (from the god Astar) as symbolized in the great power of the mythic Starsword wielded by the first high-king of Grinlia. Though most often found in and around the royal castle of Grinlia, they do occasionally roam Grinlia’s lands (or quest beyond, though this is only by permission or order of the crown) in search of knightly do-gooding. But they will drop everything and rally to the call of the king. While there is more than one Starsword knight who is a paladin (of Astar or Celradorn typically), the majority are simply warriors of renown with a devout heart to the throne of Grinlia and the power of good. Paladin or not, every Knight of the Starsword pledges themselves to the crown of Grinlia and a patron deity (always a power of good or neutrality). [B]The Steel Dragons[/B] The adventurers known as the Steel Dragons are the fighting force founded and driven by the Dragonwing brothers of Daenfrii, the Dragonmage-apparent [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_montor.html"][B][I]Montor[/I][/B][/URL] and his warrior brother [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_malac.html"][B][I]Malac.[/I][/B][/URL] The band has maintained various numbers of members over its time but any with the skill and valor who earn the right to be called a Steel Dragon can always be counted on to protect and defend the realms from the forces of evil, wherever they are found. A general roster of the 'Dragons includes: Montor and Malac, the Miralostae swordsman [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_silran.html"][B][I]Silran[/I][/B][/URL], his sister the sorceress [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_erilyn.html"][B][I]Erilyn[/I][/B][/URL], the [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/realms/sd_org.html#protectress"]protectress[/URL] [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_lela.html"][B][I]Lela Eth Mitar[/I][/B][/URL], [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_carak.html"][B][I]Carak Hillside[/I][/B][/URL] the hairfoot rogue, [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_rhea.html"][B][I]Rhea[/I][/B][/URL] the Lady of the [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/realms/emerald"]Emerald Tear[/URL], the warrior [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_londar.html"][B][I]Londar[/I][/B][/URL], the half-elvin huntress [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_aline.html"][B][I]Aline[/I][/B][/URL], [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_kriton.html"][B][I]Kriton[/I][/B][/URL] the Centaur, the gnome magician [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_gnim.html"][B][I]Gnimilious Soile[/I][/B][/URL] and the Miralostae acrobat called [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_silver.html"][B][I]"Silver."[/I][/B][/URL] Other allies who will earn their place among the Steel Dragons are, the Shi'Cynallae herald of the Wind Wizard [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_thillian.html"][B][I]Thillian[/I][/B][/URL], the monk [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_sianol.html"][B][I]Sianol[/I][/B][/URL], the priest of Astar named [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_gran.html"][B][I]Gran[/I][/B][/URL], the Miralostae ranger-priest [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_silran.html"][B][I]Jasilith[/I][/B][/URL] and the zephari fighter [URL="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Gene/Desktop/OREA/Steel%20Dragons%20website/sd_stormwing.html"][B][I]Stormwing[/I][/B][/URL]. In time, the organization of the Steel Dragons will grow to include a number of teams with adventurers hailing from across the realms, each with exceptional, unusual or unique talents and abilities. They will be positioned throughout Orea by the Dragonmage, coordinated from Dragonwing Keep and include a roster of dozens of heroes. [/QUOTE]
