*The man in the suit begins to speak to you*
"So you seek the Taormina Order. Well you might as well know a little more about us."
*The man begins to ramble on.* Ivan Emberstone was born in Asulon to a human family. His father was part human and
part dwarf. His mother was a human. His family was threatned by bandits when he
was around the age of 10. So his parents sent him off with his uncle Eifid. His
uncle lived in the wilds of Asulon past the orc deserts. Eifid was apart of the
Talons and lived in their walled fort. He helped his uncle with day to day life
and his uncle taught him some important life lessons. With his uncle he learned architecture, smithing, and brewing. At the age of 17, orcs began to threaten the fort and his uncle sent him off to
Salvus. Ivan lived there for a few months before everyone left for Elysium. In Elysium he found himself living in a small hut
on the outskirts of New Oren. Soon after they sailed to Elysium, his Uncle
Eifid was killed by orcs. With the death of his uncle he inherited his Uncle’s
desert mansion. His uncle saw him as a son he never had. Ivan then sought out
one of his Uncle’s old comrades from Fort Mirach in Asulon. He than find out
about the fight between the dwarves and the orcs, that killed his uncle. He
sought to join the fight and became active in the Legion. He was known as the
half breed amongst the dwarves, but he was not discouraged. He fought with the
soul of his uncle. He was happy to be amongst such great warriors. The last
march on the orcs in Elysium soon began. He was one of their fighters. He had
finally seen the defeat of the orc camp. Soon after that, the orcs began to fortify the
desert and build a bigger camp. Some orcs found his uncle’s desert manor and he
had to collapse the entrance and abandon the manor. He talked to his friend
Throdo about buying land. Throdo gave him a plot on the mountain closest to the
desert. He recruited two soldiers and began a small little hunting group. The
saftey was short lived as the orcs found his home in the mountains, he had to
leave and seek a better shelter from the desert. He talked to Throdo about land
again and was given a plot next to the monk camp. Ivan decided to build a manor
on this land. He built a grand manor with a lecture hall, bedrooms, a stage,
offices, and military barracks. While residing in Oren he experienced the
corruption and hate amongst the people of Oren. He saw the true sides of people
and become enraged in the presence of the corrupt White Roses. He began to
commit villanius acts and became rather selfish. Soon after the completion of
his manor, adventurers discovered the land of Kalos. He went with the other nations to Kalos and settled in the Oren land. He was building a
fort next to the White Rose camp when he was evicted by Oren knights. Ivan
sought out the Duchess and purchased land behind the Valois and Stafyr house.
He built a compound that contained: a pub, an inn, a trading post, docks,
barracks, and his manor. He began to gather more recruits and associates. His
small hunting gang started to evolve into a military. Before the discovery of
the land of Anthos. He began to change in appearence. His transforming body
worried him and he seeked out his mother and father on their island in Kalos.
He then discovered that his mom true ancestry was hidden from him and that she
was Adunian. His mothers maiden name was Bronte. That is when he decided to
change his name from Ivan Emberstone to Ivan Bronte. With the change of name he
decided to change the name of the small military operation from House
Emberstone to the Bronte Family. He reorganized the guild structure and soon
began a more successful attempt at creating a powerful guild. Ivan was very
open to people of him being a mutt. He was not ashamed of being of three races.
He actually liked it, he thought that with this he could destroy the division
of race within the guild and untite his order as one. This became true as there
were no more discrimination against each other. The Bronte order was now more
stable and ready to rise as a leading guild.
