Uʟʀɪᴄʜ Eᴜʟᴇʀ

« Atlas »

 

If the old records can be trusted, Ulrich was born in the year 1670 of the First Age. He is the first of the family to be remembered by name, although little is known about him. His father, whose name is unknown, was a mostly unsuccessful merchant in Carolustadt, the capital of the First Empire of Man. After a brief service in the Imperial Legion and the House of Draskovitz, Ulrich moved to Belvitz, where he remained until the September Prince forced the descendants to migrate from Atlas to Arcas.

 

Little is known afterwards, besides the fact that he once more joined the Guardforce of Adria and later the Republic of Ves, during which he had three sons with an Adunian woman - Albrecht, Wilhelm, and Wolfram.

« Renzfeld, Arcas »

 

These three aforementioned sons went on to settle within the land of Adrian Sarkozic, who was able to reclaim the title of the Duchy of Adria.  There, they labored hard as the workforce and architects of a small expansion of Renzfeld. They made a fine living for themselves as servants of both the Duke and the Duchy, and even caused a second war with the Duchy of Lorraine. It so happened that one of the enemy soldiers scorched the fields of the Eulers and was chased away by an angered Albrecht up until the gates of their Keep, where he beat him up. The Lorrainians began rallying their forces, and so did Adrians under Duke Adrian of Adria - Yet they were not alone, support came from Kaedrin and others, for the Emperor had chosen their side.

 

It was a long stalemate in front of the castle until the Lorrainians abandoned it without a fight, leaving in shame. Adria annexed the land, and the Eulers razed the Lorranian castle that was far too ugly for their architectural sense. In its place, forests, fields, and a lovely lake were created.

 

Yet all was not well for Duke Adrian of Adria became too ambitious - his eyes were set upon the Imperial Throne, which was ravaged by instability and chaos. The Eulers, loyal Adrians supported this Adrian takeover of the Empire, and with the support of Kaedrin and Haense, Duke Adrian of Adria was named Lord Protector of the Empire. Instead of thanking the Eulers for their loyalty, they were forced to move into the Imperial capital of Helena, which they mostly rejected alongside their de Ruyter allies. After a long back-and-forth, they were allowed to keep their original land under the now de Ruyter Counts of Harlingen, due to one ally, Peter Sarkozic, brother to Adrian Sarkozic.

 

Yet chaos continued after Adrian de Sarkozy’s untimely death. Peter, as they had hoped, did not succeed his brother as ruler, and the discontent with the Adrian ‘Novellen’ dynasty of the Empire grew amongst the Eulers, and they dispersed.

 

Eventually, Albrecht would not see Adria’s return and spend the rest of his days planning and building cities for Kaedrin, Vaelya, and later even the Imperial Elves. During this time in Kaedrin, he met and befriended Marianna Dubois, an elf who supported his career and nearly got him elected as Mayor of Owynsburg. With his wife Gunhilde, Albrecht had a son named Josef who would eventually father Jan, Stefan, and Erik.

After a prolonged absence from the public eye, the Euler family received a curious letter to their quiet countryside home. It was written by Heinrik Sarkozic, addressing Jan Euler and his siblings. In it, the Sarkozic detailed his hopes for an Adrian resurgence spearheaded by himself and notable Adrian families–such as the Eulers, who while of little note were well regarded for their loyalty in the times of Renzfeld.

 

Thus, the three brothers set out from their home and sought the Adrian camp near Eastfleet. There, they found an impassioned and burgeoning community of people with hopes of establishing a home for themselves. Thus, they each took to how they thought they might contribute best–Jan, the eldest, was a talented hunter, fisherman and leader. Stefan, a pacifist, was the camp cook and alchemist aspirant. Erik, deeply religious, sought the cloth.

 

Of this time, many stories are told of the brothers and their exploits, individual and collective. Most famous is the tale that they had sought out a ship constructed by their predecessor Albrecht which had been occupied by someone else. In the dead of night, the three Eulers boarded the ship and sailed away. They were ‘repossessing’ their property, which would soon lead to the tradition of whale hunting and the well-regarded Adrian Whale Steak being created by Stefan.

 

This period in time was one of tremendous growth for the resurgent Duchy, where the Eulers were a staple. They ran the tavern and socialized frequently. Stefan had been elected Mayor and for their constant contributions, Jan had been made a Baron and the family ennobled. They were wealthy and well-liked, and the creation of the Barony of Eulersburg marked the peak of Velec-era Eulerdom, the family having truly achieved a great deal.

« Veletz & Numendil, Aevos »
 

During the final days of Almaris the ever-loyal Eulers followed their gracious duke Heinrik Sarkozic to victory in the Adrian war of Independence, unlike many of the other Adrian noble families at the time.

With their arrival in Braevos and the formation of the League of Veletz the brothers Jan and Stefan remained at the side of Heinrik’s son, Duke Markus Sarkozic, erecting a sister-keep opposite the keep of Alderbserg, and; in line with the strong martial nature of the new League; formed the ‘Yellow Berets’ a professional yet short-lived Landsknecht levy.

Stability for the Eulers would not last, assailed once more by the forces of evil during the Braevos Coalition war, Euler men fought at every major engagement of the war, while the coffers of Eulersburg were emptied for the war effort. Despite their courage and tenacity the keeps of the League slowly fell, in a final desperate attempt at diplomacy, the Captain-General Gaspard passed the leadership of the league unto Duke Markus Sarkozic, who,  seeing the League on the verge of collapse and considering the survival of his people paramount, surrendered to the coalition. At the same time the Duke struck a deal with the King of Haense, in a clever act of political maneuvering abolishing the Dumapalooza, thus ensuring the Ducal title of Adria may never again fall into Haenser hands. Adria for the Adrians.

Humbly the Eulers followed their liege lord and their people into exile, to the Kingdom of Numendil. The Adrian keeps of Eulersburg and Aldersberg were emptied and all possessions evacuated into the Adrian refugee ghetto within the city of Numenost. Shortly after Duke Sarkozic’s surrender the Baron Jan Euler vanished. Whether he had perished in some final skirmish with Coalition forces shortly prior to the end of the war or self-exiled himself in the shame of surrender is unknown, but the Barony of Eulersburg passed on to his brother, Stefan.

The remaining Eulers under Baron Stefan coalesced with the surviving Adrians; their numbers a fraction of what they were during the days of Heinrik Sarkozic; their focus now: rebuilding their home and ensuring the survival of their people and traditions. In this they were aided by the sudden arrival of the enigmatic ‘Turtle Knight’, the spirit of the Eulers made flesh. During the Baron Euler’s absences due to his spiritual retreats into the wilds; a sacred Euler tradition; The Turtle Knight represented the Barony and often, the Adrian people as a whole, serving as a personal guard to the Crown Prince and later Tar-Anorhil as well as the aging Duke Markus. Under the Knight’s strict instructions and watchful gaze the township of Beznov rose upon the slopes of the mountains on the southern edges of the Midlands, ever in sight of their old home.

It was the beginning of a quiet era of stability for Adria and the Eulers, the frail Duke Markus eventually stepped down, and the sacred Adrian Duma was called for the election of a new Duke, with little surprise the charismatic Baron Stefan Euler was elected, ruling his people from atop the Ivory Tower of Eulersburg overlooking the quiet Duchy until his quiet passing.

« Idunia, Aevos »

 

With the passing of Stefan Euler, the title Count of Eulersburg was passed onto his great grandson Zygmunt, regarded as a scholar and historian. This too signalled the passing of the torch, the last of the Velec generation had perished and the young, new Eulers held the future of the family in their hands.

 

A populated generation of young, bold Eulers had begun making waves in the Kingdom of Idunia. Alongside the aforementioned Count Zygmunt, his cousin Frederick had made a name for himself as a military man, ascending to Knighthood after many years of service to Tar-Zôrzagar. His younger brothers Isak, Severin and Baudemund had all distinguished themselves in the War against Drusco, the family fervent in their participation. Too had Konstanze, Zygmunt’s aunt, returned to help guide the younger Eulers with her fiery patriotism. She was noted for having felled many a Druscan, despite a distinct lack of combat training. Others too, who will no doubt etch their names into the history books of the faithful family.

 

Where the coming years will lead the family, only time will tell. But there is great hope among us all that a golden age is to come.

"They still got a ways out here? Well I'll be..."

He muddled along...

[TheNunnery 1853]

 

To the best of his ability; the one-eyed half-elven man would try to read the document. Thorondir with his singular eye gazing over the text slowly- his wrinkles crunched up and brows arched; one hand holding onto the copy of the document while the other slowly rubbed his chin. "A wonderful an' proud history my good friend; Ser Frederick has! I shall make sure to praise the one who wrote this document. Though perhaps I shall ask if I can get a copy where the text is bigger- that does like' a wonderful idea! Yes indeed!" The tall Idunian exclaimed to himself within the comfort of his home. Speaking with a warm soft tone; his once focused expression turning into one of interest and excitement. Donning a bright smile. Then he stood from his dinning room table after a some minutes of silence; placing the document upon a high shelf within his personal chambers. Making sure to keep the copy of the document, which detailed the history of House Euler, safely stored. 

 

[Curry 115]

"Here's to the Golden Age that waits for us ahead!" The Euler, Isak, mumbles as he reads through the documented history of his family.

Love my first char and his family heh.

 

[Lenny 1615]

Argelion Zôrzagar, The High King of Idunia, smiled the sun’s smile upon the thought of the Eulers, a family whose proficiency with arms had proven more than necessary within the recent battles and he recalled the brief interaction with one ‘Stefan Euler’ and his babbling of a Turtle Knight.

“Funny,” he mumbled to himself, before continuing on with his day. Perhaps to go visit the settlement of Adria!
