Knights Of Aleria

[Kent]

<p>


</p>


<div style="text-align:center;"><p>Aleria, since the beginning of time, has always been at peace, at the rule of wise benevolent kings. The <em>Vayne </em>bloodline was pure, this was the line of the kings. All was at peace and lived in harmony. The orcs, the elves, the dwarves, and the humans.. the humans were governed by the king. The entire land was at its peak when the last benevolent king died. He left no heirs. And so, his brother took the throne. His brother, was nothing like his bloodline. He was cruel, unjust, driven mad by power. He butchered innocents, waged countless wars, destroyed many families, sacrificed children, destroyed the economy completely. Because of him, the elves who were at peace with man, withdrew to their own kingdoms in the forests. The dwarves withrew to their mountains and caves. The orcs retreated back to their islands from which they came. Leaving man, alone with their mad king. Now.. will you be a knight? a royalty? a nobleman? a lord? It is up to you...

HORRIS VAYNE

The Mad King

I don't live in darkness... the darkness lives in me. The Mad King

The King sat on his throne. It was the middle of the night and the moon can be seen in the throne room's tall windows. Aside from the moon, the sky was starless. It was cold and chilly, and most of the land was asleep.


The silence of the throne room was broken by a knight of the king.


The knight panted as he knelt.


"My king." He said.





"Did you do as I told you?" The King's voice was barely a whisper. It was cold and soft. Oddly, sinister.


"W-we did as you said, my king, but w-"





"Bring them in."





The knight nodded. He was clearly troubled. He stood up and looked at the tall doors. He made a gesture and the other knights entered. With them, they brought 7 virgins. They were tied and gagged. They were beaten and abused. Their clothes were ripped and they were almost naked. Tears were in their eyes and pleads were on their lips. But the king hear nothing.


"You know what to do."





The Knight had a heavy heart. He brought in the oil and the twigs. They decorated the women with them. They were bathed in oil.


Then they were burned.


"What a beautiful sight."





This was the 7th time. And this was the first of many other acts.

Jason Lancard

If you want peace ,Work for justice Lord Jason Lancard

Jason was at the Council Room, where he convened the Council members of House Lancard. Jason convened them, because of the recent actions the king has made. He was not happy, as the king was committing crimes and escaping Justice, because he is the king. He killed innocent people without worrying about anyone that is gonna stop him. Jason could not just comprehend the amount of crimes the king has done. The council members were arguing when Jason broke out of his thought.

"Enough!" His voice boomed throughout the room "Our king is mad! and he will stay that way until he dies! Someone needs to stop him and that my friends, would be us!"

His commanding voice echoed. The Council members looked at him for some time and then stood, they then bowed and some smiled.

"Yes, your liege" The Council said together in a unison

"But.. we would be up against the whole kingdom" One said "What shall we do?"

"Wait...We wait and prepare our troops" Jason said as he sat at his seat

[ViolntSian]

Katerina walked hastily in the corridor and entered her brother's room. The Lord of House Vienna just finished fixing his sword to his belt as she entered.


"My Lord. The king-"


"There is no need for you to call me Lord, Katerina. Address me as your brother." Sage turned his head at the origin of his sister's voice.


Katerina smiled and nodded, "As you wish. As I was telling you, I have heard news about the king."


"What about him? I doubt it is something honorable." A small scowl appeared to his face. He never did once liked the mad king. His reign is like a disease spreading throughout the kingdom.


His sister swallowed before continuing, "He killed women. He.. ordered his men to burn them alive."


The Lord clenched his teeth and fists, exhaling before he replied, "This sick monstrosity has to stop." He turned on his heel and went out of the room, Katerina following him.


"You." He called out the guard near him.


"Yes, my Lord."


"Gather my men. We shall have a meeting. Make haste." He then proceeds to the place of meeting.

Quinn Davenport

"For each day that ends, another opportunity is wasted!" - Quinn





The sun was rising in the east as Quinn finally set down her quill, stretching her arms and sighing, she stared at the parchment that bared a name that she could no longer utter.

Elynna Alston.


"Just a bit more...", She looked out the window and saw the view of the Crossing in the distance, two large castles situated at its border. So much time had passed since the battle but every scream she had still burned at throat, her dreams still tormented by her memories. The revolution she had planned for so long in secret letters and hushed conversations was all coming into place and all she needed left was her brother, Ethan.




But what if he does not want this, Elynna?


Quinn stood and walked over to the window, the City of Snow's sight and sounds shocking her senses. She was going to


have Lord Eastoft and his families dead bodies by her feet. With her arrows poking out of their lifeless bodies. It was all


going to happen with or without her dear brother....but she had strong hopes for the former.

Thomas Nightshade

Alone we are strong, but together we are invincible! Nightshade Motto

Thomas opened the window of his room smelling the air. It was a nice day. He looked around. His house was located in a mountain surrounded by a circular gourge. The only way to enter the mountain was by a red and old bridge. His house was simple but elegant. He looked behind him. His naked wife was still asleep. She should be having a nice dream since she was smiling.


He sighs and walks to his closet, taking some clothes and put them on. He looked at the wall that would show alot of memories. His spear, his house motto written in an old piece of paper. His father sword was also there. His father wasn't dead, but he broke a leg and so he could never get up alone again.


Thomas sighs and grabs his spear opening the door that leads to the a corridor. He goes to the kitchen and grabs a piece of bread. He gets out of his house still with the bread on his hand and the spear on the other.


He knew the assassins were watching him. He smiles to himself and keeps walking until he meets the forest, trying to find any animal he can to kill, so they would have dinner.

Lady Julia Lancard

We must bring our own light to the darkness Lady Julia Lancard

Julia was at her seat on the Council room. He listened to the reports and the speech that her brother made. Her mind was full of thoughts 'Why did the king do this?','They were innocent!','He is mad!','We must bring him down'. She then shook her thoughts away when she heard her brother boom.


"Enough!" And proceeded to talk about the mad king some mar. She nodded at her brother in agreement. The king must indeed be stopped. They can't just sit at their castles and look at their precious kingdom fall, because of the mad king, they needed to act. And act they must. She then approached her brother after he was finished talking.


"When shall we do it brother?" She asked Jason with a serious voice "I want to participate"


Jason looked at her and chuckled


"You cant.." He Replied "You are staying here, in the City of snow.."


"What?!?" She said with a loud voice "I simply cant! I want to help and I can if I come with you, guys"


"Dear Julia.." His brother said as he touched his face "There are many ways to help us...Staying her and help the other council members assess and plan out the war"


"But.." She tried to reason out, but not a single voice would come out of her mouth. She knew he was right, but she would liked to help them at some way. She would just do what her brother told him to do. She looked at Jason and nodded.


"Fine..." She said as she rolled her eyes "But, promise me.. that you will come back here in one piece"


Jason chuckled and looked at her and smiled


"I Promise" He said and together they walked across the corridors of the Keep in the City.

Ethan Alston

"Every effort no matter how small must be appreciated" - Ethan





A silence settled over the Eastoft library as Ethan wiped his tears, reading the news that one of his friends had been burned to death by the king. For what, he did not know but it filled him with great sorrow.


"Ethan?", the creak of the large doors signaled his best friend's arrival.


"Oh, Lyra! why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be with your father away on a diplomatic visit to one of the high courts?", he turned and gave her his softest smile.


The young Eastoft shook her head and proceeded to wrap him in a strong hug. "Me and father returned as soon as we found out, the great house of Vienna sent a raven for a meeting between the allied houses".


"And here I thought you came back to cheer me up!", Ethan laughed as Lyra let him go. She smirked and proceeded to punch his shoulder. The two shared a comfortable silence.


"Come on lets go, father tasked me to take you to him"


The pair proceeded to walk towards the doors of the library but a heavy feeling settled in his stomach. Something was not right with this and if he could be of any help to his family. Ethan was sure to try his best.

HORRIS VAYNE

The Mad King

I don't live in darkness... the darkness lives in me. The Mad King

The King sat on his throne again. He did not sleep. He did not eat. he did not stand. He did not speak.


His knights stood at his side.


He stayed like this for many hours until he spoke again.

"Write my words, I address all the lords and ladies."





That very day, a letter was given out.

To all the Houses of man in the realm of Alreia,


The Sovereign King, Horris Vayne, summons all the lords and the ladies. From the Great Houses, to the Noble Houses, to the simple and humble houses to pledge allegiance to his Highness, The Sovereign King, Horris Vayne, King of The Humans, Lord Of the House Vayne, and protector of the Human Kingdom. you are all expected within 2 nights.


Failure to do so, will lead to the conclusion that your entire House is an enemy to the me, the king. You and your kin will be branded as traitors and will be hunted down.

Ephraim, Lord of the Riverlands


It has been exactly one year since Ephraim took his place as the head of House Pherae and Lord of the Riverlands and already, he faces numerous problems, including the recent atrocities of the king. Despite Ephraim's young age, his people continued to support him and dozens of advisors and other council members of Pherae had pledged their loyalty to him.


Ephraim had just received word of the recent event where the king had cruelly burned innocent women. He walked briefly to the council room along with his knights where an immediate council had been called for. The council members had been debating on what they should do when Ephraim walked in. Silenced engulfed the room when Ephraim appeared, circling to his seat at the head of the council table. Ephraim paused for a breath before addressing the others,


"I'm sure you've all heard regarding the recent event. The recent atrocities of the king has grown in intensity and it is clear that it will not stop here. War will do us no good and we must prioritise the welfare of our people. I shall meet the Lords of the other Great Houses and we must act wisely. What we do now, will decide the future of Aleria and consequently, Pherae. I urge for your support." As he finished his last words, a messenger quietly came to his side and passed him a newly received scroll. The scroll had the ensign of the king embedded on it. Ephraim opened the scroll and read its contents aloud to the council members. The room was filled with light mutterings and many were questioning the motive of the king now. "We have few options. I shall answer his summon. To ignore him now is tantamount to war. Let us dismiss for now and resume when I return." And with that, he walked quickly with his knights back to his chambers.


Leaving Pherae to the hands of the council, he quickly gathered a small escort. Despite their protests, he did not bring along a bigger escort, fearing that Pherae could be attacked if half the army followed Ephraim. Ephraim didn't worry much because he would be riding with the Knights of the Round Table, Pherae's most elite knights. He mounted Etruria and rode to the capital with his escort.

Sherin Vienna

I think I am adopted Sherin

Sherin stood alone on the courtyard. The sun was almost kissing the horizon.


ThorneVale was beginning to settle. from where she stood, she could see the farms and the hills of grass. Often she would come here to be alone with her mind... or with a sword and she'd practice her swordsmanship.


She decided to return to her chambers to retire from the day.

 

[Syra]

Quinn Davenport


Upon receiving word from her parents of the letter addressed to them from the mad king, she clenched her fists at this senseless display of power. It reminded her of the tyrant traders she had been forced to work with for the past few years. As her parents were currently too far away from the capital to make the journey, the Davenport heir was slated to make her appearance alone.


"What do you think he wants from all of you m'lady?", Schnee, her loyal assistant said from across the table as he wrote into the record books all the profits from yesterdays trade as well as the current status of all their ships.


"To flaunt his power or...to do the same to us as he probably did to those girls ", Quinn said as she combed her fingers through her long hair, smiling at the horrified look of old Schnee's face.


"I'm kidding, Schnee! Just take this as an opportunity for me to meet new people that we could introduce our trading group to!" Quinn said as she hopped off her chair and headed towards the dresser. It would take a days trip to get to the capital from the City of Snow. She would have to go through the Crossing.


"Its remarkable how you are able to find opportunity in the most nerve wrecking situations, M'lady".


"Well I try", she looked at her belongings and felt the slight quiver in her lip. This was going to be a dangerous situation, but it was not going to deter her from keeping her family safe from this seemingly mad king.

Yna

Huh? What's this supposed to be? Yna

Yna watched as her Lord rode off to the capitol. She was listening in on their little meeting. I didn't mean to, I just... happened to be cleaning near them. She lied to herself.

"Well, it doesn't matter, it's not like he saw me or anything." She calmed herself down.


Personally, Yna didn't care about the king, not even her lord. She just worked here, and would do anything to get out.

Thomas Nightshade

Alone we are strong, but together we are invincible! Nightshade Motto

Thomas saw a rabbit next to him. He sighs. "What a poor creature. Walked to its own death" he grabs his spear and points it at the little creature. He was going to throw it but something scared the creature and the rabbit ran away. He sighs "Assassin... You are ruining my hunt" Thomas says looking at a figure.

This figure was wearing a skeleton mask and a black rope covering his body. The figure stretched his hand showing a letter that had stains of blood. Thomas grabs the letter and starts reading it.


When he finishes he sighs "That can be troublesome... So that mad man wants us t o go and meet him?" he sighs once again and looks at the assassin "I want six assassins with me. Come dressed in a way that you don't look dangerous. I want two assassins that are good in range combat" he says and the assassin nods disappearing into the bushes. He sighs and rips the letter into little pieces.

Jason Lancard

If you want peace, Work for justice Lord Jason Lancard

Jason was talking to his sister when a knight approached him. The knight seems to be very tired and is panting.


"Your liege.." The knight panted as he held out a parchment with the royal seal of the king."Message..from..the..capitol.."


Jason looked at the knight then took the parchment.


"Go and rest" Jason told the knight "You must be very tired"


He then broke the seal and read the letter. He read it all aloud and was shocked at the King's message. His tore the paper off and threw it in the ground. His face was red as the expression on his face signified that he was angry.


He then looked at julia with a serious face


"He suspects that some Lords are conspiring against him" He said with a serious tone "He does not know who, so that is why he is summoning us all at the capitol to swear allegiance to him.. "


"That is outrageous!" Julia shouted. For all she know she was also angry "We cannot swear allegiance to that Madman!"


"This is war.." He said as a knight approached him "Ser Aragon Hillard.."


"Yes, my liege?" The knight replied with a respectful tone


"Prepare the troops and rally out all of our Vassal" He said "It is time to fight back and bring down this Madman"


"Yes, my liege.. if i may ask, are you not going to the Capitol to answer His summons?" Ser Aragon Hillard asked him with a curious voice


"Yes... we will answer his summons.." He said as he looked at the knight. He was going to the capitol, but he wont be alone. He would be going there with an army to bring down the Mad King. "Send a raven to all of the lords.. tell them it is time to fight back"

Saveren

The Sword will lead the way House Akkar

The Lady of the Sword sparred with her 2 of her men. The sun was setting and the skies of Enyelthas was darkening. Saveren has been training for most of the day.


"My lady, have you heard of the Human King?" The blue eyed elf aimed for her neck. She blocked it easily with her sword.


"What has happened to the King?" She huffed as she kicked the green eyed elf away, when she saw him coming for her.


"They say he's gone mad." The green eyed elf panted lightly and put his hands on his knees as he gasped for air.


"Mad?" She unarmed the blue eyed elf. "What has he done?"


"He's been doing a lot of things for quite a while now, Lady Akkar." He started. "The latest news is that he has burned innocents, for fun."


"And just recently, he sent for all the Houses of Man to pledge their alliance."


Saveren sheathed her sword and looked at her two men.


"What a strange king. I feel a war coming." She said.


"And us, m'lady? Shall we join this war?" He sheathed his sword as well.


"We'll see."


She turned her head to the setting sun.

​

 

[ViolntSian]

The meeting had ended when a messenger bird landed on Sage's desk. He gestured Katerina to retrieve the letter attached to it.


Katerina read the content and finally said, "Brother, all the lords and ladies are being summoned. We must act accordingly, otherwise we are to become the king's enemy." A worried look appeared on her face. "My Lo- I mean, Brother, let us follow for now. It is unwise to act rashly."


Sage closed his eyes and heavily sighed, "You are right. Only a fool would do that." He reaches out his hand, only to be held by his sister's, "That is why you should not worry, dear sister." He smiled warmly, but not looking at her face.


"Of course, brother." Katerina could not help but smile, "When shall we leave?" She took a step back as her brother stood up from his chair and proceeded to walk out of the room. "We leave tomorrow at the wake of dawn. Prepare for departure. And always. always. Stay by my side. This is an order from your Lord, Katerina." His brows furrowed as he thought about his sister.


"Yes, brother."


"Also inform our youngest sister, Sherin. I shall make preparations with my men." He signaled one of the guards and told him to get a servant to help him.


The siblings went their separate ways. Both thinking the possibilities of what might occur in the near future.

 

[ViolntSian]

Katerina proceeded to Sherin's chambers, knocking softly, she called, "Sherin?"

 

[CharmyPie (gone~)]

Sheirin

Sherin was under her bed. On her bed, the pillows were arranged to the likeness of a dead body.

"Come in!" She grinned.

"I'm under the bed, but you're not allowed to look."




@ViolntSian

 

[ViolntSian]

The older sister chuckled as she opened the door, closing it gently before going over to the bed.


"We are leaving tomorrow at wake of dawn." Her voice serious. "To the king's castle. We must act accordingly, otherwise our house will be marked as traitors." Katerina sat on the bed, looking out the window.


"... Have you heard of the recent doings of the king?"

"The mad king?" She sighed. "I was by the farms earlier, I heard them talk. Sister, they took even some of our own." She said sadly.

"And yeah, okay. What do I need to bring?"

 

[ViolntSian]

Katerina shook her head to get rid of the thoughts concerning the innocent women.


"Perhaps a change of clothes. I am not sure of how many nights we shall spend there. Bring what you think is enough." She leaned down, "But don't pack too much, sister. I know you usually do that. Also bring what you think you'll need." She stood up and head towards the door. "I shall take my leave. I have yet to prepare for tomorrow."
