An ancient patriarch of Falkenrath reads the family history...

Somewhere, in a twisted and corrupted land, the Knight sat. He read over the invite as a subtle smile came to his face...

In a lonely keep the Templar lit the pyre and lofted a body from the ground. A prayer in low Adunic was spoke as per culture, then she was tossed to the flame. "No longer shall he enslave you." He spoke to himself, for there were no more tears to be cried. This was but one task of the White Flame, there was more to be done.

Have you considered the name IntelligentVanguard?

The Templar stood in the ruins of a land that was no more then hell on earth. He had made his way there after hearing the news of his Uncle's death. Informed by his cousin whom had witnessed it. For the first time in years he had wept. A Holy-Knight he was, not often offering emotion that showed weakness. The loss of Auden, a man akin to his father, this pain ripped at his heart. There were no words. There was no action, no novel, no painting to describe the pain of this man from where he stood. Prior that day, no more than a few hours before he was informed of Auden's death, he stood in these same ruins taking lives. Ending the miserable existence of fleshy creature's that were once men. How valuable was life truly? He drank his sorrows away, on the rooftops of that godforsaken town. Months sober all burnt by the tragedy of death. What was he to do? He'd known who did it, why did he wait? No... He couldn't even answer the questions for himself. Grief ridden- He watched the sun set on another fateful day. For it was time for the stars to appear...

"So they kicked out some spooks but left one in charge?" Asked a former citizen of Cartref Mor to himself as he scanned over the missive with an eye-roll

What is your name, hero-to-be? Calahan Antonius What is your age? 67 What is your race? Adunian Where do you reside? Where the wind takes me, or the light of courage need be shed. What powers do you have to fight against this great evil? The dutiful service of a brazen warrior under the light of Malchediael. What is the meaning of a free-spirit, in short words? A free spirit is one able to do an act as they wish, bolstered by an unafflicted mind, and harmed by those of darkened manipulation.

Formatting looked great, but as best described by a friend of mine, it came off as a Holy Spook Like Paladins but more freeform

"The False Lord has made an irreparable mistake." Uttered the Adunic Templar as he stood at the top of Halstaig, looking further to the West "Truly a disgrace to our kin and his father's memory." He then added clicking his tongue "The frost must have gotten to him..."

True, that's fair

This came off way easier to read as opposed to the previous Kani lore, very nice. Though I wonder, can Kinetic Blast be used with other heavy hitting spells?

The Deputy-Inquisitor crossed his arms whilst leaning back on his desk chair. Idle tapping came from his digits as he read. He found this utmost interesting...

"When they catch disease from drinking blood I'll laugh..." Uttered the Templar with a grin "Least they're taking care of the bears." He then offered as he returned to prayer, atop the ivory castle of Halstaig

Authored by Calahan Antonious O’Rourke and Alexander Wynsehn Published in 1877, Erin Hall, Halstaig The title of Count of Halstaig originates from the Sixth Empire under Peter II when he ennobled Braehn Elendil An'Hiraeth as the first Count of Halstaig. However, Braehn’s title did not surpass his death as the infamous Coup of Adelburg restructured Orenian nobility and restricted Braehn from continuing to hold his title and all associated lands. The title was thus placed in absence. It was not until two centuries later that the title resurfaced. In 1781, Peter III bestowed the title of Count of Halstaig upon Oisin Seamus O’Rourke, a highly-regarded Adunian politician and commodore from Kaedrin. Upon assuming the comital title, he was given the formal name, John I by Imperial Administration, a tradition which all future title holders underwent upon assuming peerage. Braehn I of House Elendil (1629-1639) Braehn Eldenil An'Hiraeth @Braehn Elendil An'Hiraeth Being entitled as the first Count of Halstaig by Peter II during the reign of the Sixth Empire, Braehn was responsible for the construction of much of the Imperial-Adunic culture still seen in the modern era. He placed a heavy emphasis on the importance of education as he was notorious for supporting the construction of several academic institutions in his first rendition of Halstaig on Axios. Brahen’s reign as Count did not last long as a decade after his ennoblement, the Coup of Aldersburg was launched which saw the subsequent removal of several Imperial Noble Titles - Braehn’s title included. John I of House O’Rourke (1781-1788) Oisin Seamus O’Rourke @Areon Oisin grew up in Brolwic, Aeldin. Upon news of his father's death in 1756, he and the rest of his family sailed back to Arcas. As the new Patriarch of House O’Rourke, he was to take care of his family, settling them down in The Commonwealth of Kaedrin. Once purchasing a house he began a printing press to further take care of the family, thus creating the O’Rourke Company. Whilst achieving noble status for the family, arguably his most notable achievement was founding the Imperial State Navy. Alongside George de Sarkozy, he constructed a base for the navy within Kaedrin, beginning a large-scale recruitment drive. After being denied the ability to blockade Sutican Ports and trade routes in the Sutican War due to the ocean froze over, he lived out his final years peacefully. His title passed onto his brother Patrick… Patrick I of House O’Rourke (1788-1791) Padraig Pious O’Rourke @Mandalore1 Padraig grew up in Aeldin alongside his family. He too sailed back to Arcas in 1756 when news of his father's death spread. As a famed politician of the Empire, after the Imperial Diet reform in 1764, he dived headfirst into his career, by joining the Josephite party. Having lived in Kaedrin for a decade and building his social standing, he decided to run for Lord Mayor of Owynsburg. After the hardships of a supposedly rigged election, he finally found himself in charge of the city. Reopening the mines, ceasing taxation, and reforming mayoral elections. With great success as the mayor, he was invited to be the Minister of Labor within Ves, allowing him to affect Vessian vassals on a large scale. The years of his life came to a near end after being promoted by the Archchancellor to the role of Secretary of the Interior. He left his title to his daughter Anastasia… Anastasia I of House O’Rourke (1791-1828) Anastasia Cassia O’Rourke @Asutto Also known as Azariah of Halstaig, the Countess was born in Owynsburg, Kaedrin. Her backstory being that of a vagrant and bandit, set straight by the Imperial State Army. Being forced to conscript after being captured, she spent her time reuniting with her family and studying the blade. She chose to then follow in her family's footsteps by running for Alderman of Helena. Later on she became a city clerk of Helena and continued to climb the ranks of the I.S.A despite having passed her required years of service. After Padraig’s untimely death, she took on the title of Countess as the eldest of her sonless father. Reaching the near peak of her military career during the Inferi War, she became a guardian of Orenian and Adunian people alike. After joining the legions of descendants in fleeing Arcas, she established a small town within the Daeperician Archipelago before continuing to Almaris to construct the famous Erin Hall with the aid of her grandfather. She went on to participate in many wars and events in Orenian history and achieved the rank of Lieutenant in the ISA to then retire. In 1828 she died in an assassination attempt, to which her body was never found. She bore the title(s): Dame, Anastasia Cassia of Halstaig, Countess of Halstaig, Magistrate of Providence, and Knight Commander of the Order of the Lion. Iduna I of House O’Rourke (1828-1849) Iduna Anne O’Rourke @Itz_Cookie The White Rose was born within the confines of Halstaig’s white marbled walls, where she was ordered to remain. Though that did not stop her, the future Countess, a free spirit in her younger days, spent her days wandering the realm. After a mortifying bandit encounter at a young age, she was placed under the care of a bodyguard, increasing the time she spent at Halstaig significantly. Taking an interest in the arts would later influence her career as an adult. After an arguably scandalous marriage, she began a new generation of O’Rourke’s with a Haenseti as her spouse. Whilst achievements were minor in her time, she procured the future of the family and spent her time working as the Mistress of the Arts and Culture in the Augustine Palace. An unfortunate death besieged her as she and the head maid of Halstaig attempted to leave on the sea for a brief trip to Aeldin. The ship sank at the cause of a corrupt pirate, and Iduna’s legacy was left to her eldest daughter Theodosia… Theodosia I of House O’Rourke (1849-1876) Theodosia Illaena O’Rourke @RaindropsKeepFalling Theodosia ‘The Black’ was a momentous figure in modern Oren, both the Empire and Kingdom. Her upbringing was relatively simplistic, surrounded by the tenets of Halstaig and her family. Influenced by a great lack of parental guidance, she brought herself to mature at a young age to then take on the Comital Title sooner than expected. Not more than a month after she had to face her first decision as Countess in the Aster Revolution… After pledging fealty to Philip Amadeus alongside an escort of O’Rourke bannermen, many reforms were to then come. The first reformation of many to influence the County was that of free companies, and after rigorous application, the Westguard was formed under her supervision. Meanwhile, her cousin and the Arentania Construction Corporation were hard at work designing and constructing the Fortress of the West, the new design of Erin Hall. Upon the perch of Erin Hall, the first and only Lady Vicar of Arentania was elected into this position, leaving her to reside over the noble families within the western region of the Empire. One of the Countess’ final reforms she had left in her legacy was the original draft of the Peerage Reforms, responsible for fixing the bloated population of peers. Theo had found the end of the road much too soon, just like those before her. Most were unsure of the origin of her death, although letters of her last will and testament were left behind to her children. Theodosia had left Calahan O’Rourke as her Regent in absence whilst her daughter Sadie Cristonia O’Rourke waits to take the title… Sadie I of House O’Rourke (1876-present) Sadie Cristonia O’Rourke @Moenah A flaxen-haired child of Rourke, Not known to say much, the road before her is not straight. To be raised by her family, there is not much else known…

An aged Adunic man peered from the sanctuary of Halstaig, down to the courtyard when the news arrived. A solemn sigh as he lit two sticks of pine incense within the room. Calahan of Rourke kneeled, uttering a foreign prayer to his god... Knowing he would posses the mantle of regent. He made a promise to Theodosia... "I will do you right." Rasped his voice knowing she would hear him "Your children will be raised well... Politicians and warriors. They'll do you right." He continued, his voice neutral as the room filled with incense Now even in sadness, the Templar shed no tears, the feeling too familiar... He arose from his knees after a final prayer, stepping out into the halls of the white castle with a huff. He had work to do.

"He'll sleep easy tonight." Rasped a voice of an old Adunic man as he stood on one of many balconies to the estate of Cartref Mor, looking over the Norlandic lake to the south...

So he stirred... A man in a lone sanctuary of the Lord Michael kneeled before the altar, minutes of prayers in a foreign language echoing from atop the castle he resided in. Death. A feeling too close to home for the Templar... Images racing in his mind, yet all meaningless. A single tear falling from his emerald hued eyes, the other masked by an eyepatch. "Too soon." Rasped his alcohol flavored breath. Before him he lied a ceremonial blade, forged of Anorum. The material taught to him by John. Another tear fell, pooling on his leather padded knees as he cleansed the guts of the very mutants who had slaughtered the Marsyr from his blade. "To you. I give the dark." Called his voice once more as he sat the blade pon' an altar within the sanctuary. Returning to the mat of prayer, he kneeled, snapping forth a green mana and lighting a small flame upon two sticks of pine incense. The Rourke placed them in a holder as the smell filled the room. A final tear fell from his face as he returned to prayer... The Lord's reign will nie' be forgotten.

No more quietus scamming ( :

Seemingly harmless and the conception of a kid like this happens in a rare case. It was also very well written. +1

"I wouldn't consider a dragon a blessing." Muttered a lizard-hating Adunian "Specially' with Azdromoth kicking about. . ."
