***DISCLAIMER: I have made this character a descendent of my first character made for Asulon and had a background in Aegis before the fall. He was a lumberjack of Riven by Solace of Salvus, later Oren. I made a quick family tree with birth dates all the way back to the birth of Jon Robert Flint in 1306. Jon R. Flint: Family Tree: https://pastebin.com/cj08Rx4U ****************************************************** The following letter was found on the hand of Lord Robert Flint of Helena after he expired from shock to a weak heart at the age of 57. "My name is Randall Percival Flint, born 1733, of the descendant Flint line of Oren and Salvus of Aegis, loyal subject of the holy empire. "I write this letter of sound mind and clear conscience. I am leaving and I shall not return, for I have read the family tome and understand our past transgressions, of Aegis and Asulon, of Anthos and Athera. As a boy, before he passed, grandfather would teach me the ways of the world and lament the waste and bile we spew forth, how it would be easier and more logical to live alongside and in accordance with the land, not this...this endless devouring! I'm the first and only of your children to be born of this continent, fat off the bounty we steal, rich off the stories of our ancestors, only to learn our entire history is a lie! We reap and do not sow, endless generations of locusts doomed to ruin the land only to jump in ships and devour the next. How many more continents before we learn that simple rule? That we must be at peace with nature and she will be at peace with us? I will not run from disaster to disaster as we have, no matter the cost I will stay and protect this land from folk that would defile it. "You ask that I join the ranks of the empire, that I attend balls and lectures and seek out a Sarkozic bride, all to strengthen the position of our insignficant family for the illusion of power, of the status quo.You ask me this for what, so that I have rich Sarkozic children and become a toady, another featherhead in a feather bed? What then, round them up from their beds and rush them to the boats to consume yet another continent, that they might beget more locusts in my name? Thus I shall listen to the advice your dying father gave me so long ago. Let the cities fall, the bricks of Helena crack and crumble, may the vines creep over Reza and Ves as they usher them to the dirt. "I formally revoke all possessions, rights, lands, and given titles as a freeman of no nation, and submit myself to exile. "Know this: I will, with every fiber of my being, I will protect the life of this land from men or die fighting. "Your once son, Randall" With the death of Lord Robert, and the absolution of his only living heir, all belongings and deeds of the house of Flint are to be seized by the empire. His son Randall could not be found for questioning.
