"A plague o' both your houses!"
- William Shakespeare (//%22http://classiclit.about.com/cs/profileswriters/p/aa_wshakespeare.htm%22),
Romeo and Juliet, 3.1
Hey all.
This is not a plug for one clan, Caermyrn, Aberdenn, whichever- it's a plug for both.
These two houses have been warring for centuries, fighting bitterly for the contested soul of Mistlocke, a soul that has been the hidden jewel of Ymph for centuries, guarded well by D'Arthido, harbored by Caermyn, fought for by Aberdenn, contested by Blackhearth, and the throne sought by the Wyrm Watchers.
Yet- Mistlocke's history is defined by the Founder's war, the conflict stemming all the way back to Donyarth and Rhemar Caermyn, these two figures of legend who both arrived in Mistlocke and founded houses that would hold positions inside the Veil for centuries, and would war constantly with each other. Caermyn fought by the side of the Amnian Principia, Aberdenn on the side of the Four houses, and it was on Agramant where armies met and blood was shed, and Gadyw lost his eye.
Caermyn and the Amnian Principia did supposedly avenge Angelo Senuspur and they became awash with wealth and the Aberdenn beggared and without gold but held to their honor, and did great violence and slaughtered D'arthido's men in Mistlocke and washed "Tyranny from Mistlocke with blood" ~ Dan. So now, when Caermyn returned to the bloodied village, they found no Duke's men claim their treasure van of gold and silks.
This is but a small glimpse of the history of the clans, reaching back centuries- hatred is as old as their bloodlines and they have fought and used their associates, bannersmen, and more to settle the feud. The Aberdenn are ailing, Caermyn triumph may just be imminent- yet, Owain has possibly undeniable evidence of his royal blood, and with it, crush Caermyn aspirations forever...
So this is a plea- really. Mistlocke is so much better with active clans accosting, scheming, fighting, and trying to win the upperhand over the other! Join the Clans, control the destiny of Mistlocke-
Tradition, Honor, Isolation-
Or Progress, Expansion, WEALTH
You decide!
