RoleChapter 3 (STORY) The War of the Four Families Added Mon Jun 6 08:31:42 2016 at level 1:Kartalius' wife, the Drow known as Vexesia, was no stranger to politics. She had seen how her mother and sisters did "business" and understood the patience that was necessary. While Kartalius was a stern and calculating man he had nothing on his bride. Her plan was simple: push the man to conquer and then simply out live him. Human life was not even a season for the Drow. She'd just help him plant the seeds and then reap the harvest long after he turned to ash. So she taught him as well, how to scheme and to deceive. She convinced him of her love and bore him a series of children. One boy and three girls whom she taught as well.
Our story centers around their son named Quintalius. He was a young boy when the Westallian civil war began. He would be a young man before it was through. As he aged and was educated everything in his life was shaped by this war. He saw brothers killing brothers. Cousins killing cousins. Each sworn to different noble families. But it would not be this brutal warfare that would end the struggle. But rather the shrewd political prowess of Vexesia.
In each quarter of the Kingdom she dispatched her Drowish spies to assassinate figures of note and also to spy on the culture of the Kingdom. What they found was that each had peasant-born families of wealth and prominence who were fighting the war as bannermen for the other "vas" clans. Each were approached and promised nobility if they would turn on the governing families of their district. And so vas Tendall family fell first, not to the vas Antian's but to the Thorwell's, their own bannermen, who moved into their great oak hall and became the House of vas Thorwell.
The new nobility joined in the conquest against the mountains and soon the vas Elrick family fell to their own bannermen as well. And then the last of the mountain holdouts, the vas Kamplin's met their bloody end. But not due to treachery, their bannermen died bravely at their sides, they were simply undone by finding that honor comes with a heavy cost when no one else obeys the tenets of loyalty.
