   Blake Wichearyen, King of The Dragons, Wolvs and All Men, King of All Westoriya, Lord of The Dragon Islands, Defender of The Realms, Lord-Protector of The Wall, Blake The Conqueror. Blake is a Dragonborn with dark red scales, yellow eyes, pointed triangular ears with a notch in his right ear, a pair of black horns, flowing silver hair and a long tail. He often wears a simple woolen tunic with matching trousers, leather boots, and a purple cloak with gold trim. On more ceremonial occasions, he wears black and purple robes with ruffled cuffs and collar, a long purple and black mantle lined with white ermine fur over his shoulders, and the sword Redflame attached to his side via a swordbelt, along with a gold circlet set with square cut rubies and sapphires on his head and a pair of black gloves. During battle, he wears a suit of blackened armor with a matching helmet shaped like a dragon’s head. Born on the largest island of The Dragon Islands to Lord Blase Wichearyen and Lady Enma Anaeryon, Blake grew up with his eldest and youngest sister, Valkiria and Seria respectively, and as per tradition, Blake married both of them upon his Lordship to keep the rule of The Dragon Islands within House Wichearyen. As Lord of The Dragon Islands, Blake was given the ancestral sword Redflame, a longsword with a crimson hued golden blade, a hand guard resembling dragon wings, a leather wrapped handle, ended with a gold dragon head pommel set with ruby eyes, which belonged to House Wichearyen since before Blake’s Conquest. A generation before Blake’s birth, his great grandfather, Cael Wichearyen, flew from a decimated continent of Dragoa on the back of a Dragon and settled on The Dragon Islands. Now, seemingly tired of his island, Blake turned his gaze further west, to the other continent of Westoriya. Mounting his Dragoness, Baloryes, Blake flew across Westoriya, charting a map of everything he saw, then returning to The Dragon Islands, he and his sisters constructed a large table in the shape of the continent, painted with all the rivers, hills, mountains, towns and villages of Westoriya. Gathering a small army, Blake and his sisters landed on a small hill near a river in Westoriya and immediately set up a fort on the top of the hill. Blake then sent letters to all the rulers of Westoriya, stating that each were allowed to keep their lands and wealth, so long as they bend the knee, afterwards, Valkiria crowned Blake with a golden circlet while Seria praised him as King of The Dragons, Wolvs and All Men, and King of All Westoriya. Blake then raised his new banner over the fort, a red three headed dragon with its wings spread on a black field, the middle head of the Dragon wears a crown, representing his rule over the two other heads just as Blake ruled over his two sisters, in the Dragon’s right claw it holds a sword, representing The King’s authority and command of his armies while in its left claw it holds a shepherd’s crook, representing The Wichearyen’s humble beginnings as herders on the old continent of Dragoa, and marking his House with the words “United In Flame”. Naturally the rulers of Westoriya refused Blake’s offer, and it was Harrel Darendal, King of Rock and Tides, that first challenged The Dragons. It is said the conflict began when King Harrel offered the hand of his daughter, Princess Harrlia, to Blake in return for peace, but Blake was in no need of a third wife and so respectfully refused and instead offered her to his half-brother, Gunar Duffel. Insulted, Harrel had the ambassadors visiting him killed, placed their bodies outside his castle with their heads facing Blake’s Fort, in response, Blake sent Gunar with an army to The Stormlands, and faced King Harrel in battle. Blake offered to send one of his sisters on Dragonback to aid in the fight, but Gunar refused, saying that Harrel wasn’t worth the effort of a Dragon. Marching on The Stormlands, Gunar offered peace one last time before facing King Harrel in battle outside his castle, and soon was victorious. Princess Harrlia then met Gunar with what was left of her forces and surrendered her lands and titles, in return for the victory, Blake gave The Stormlands and The Stormkeep to Gunar Duffel naming him The Lord of Storm, Gunar then took the colors of Darendal, a black buck’s head on a yellow field, for his own and marking his House with the words “Taste My Fury”. After the submission of The Stormlands, Blake made contact with The King of Isles and Rivers, decades before Blake and his sisters landed on Westoriya, King Maxim Black constructed an enormous fortress in the middle of an artificial lake, where the only entrance was a drawbridge connecting it to the land. Blake landed outside The Black Fortress on the back of Baloria, demanding a parlay with King Maxim, refusing to corporate, Blake gave one last chance before taking to the sky and descended on The Black Fortress and covering it in flames, turning the fort into a smoking pile of rubble, ending House Black, laying claim to The Blacklands, Blake then named his good friend and squire, Marken Samwell, Lord of The Ruins of Fort Black, who took the image of a man kneeling on a red field for his colors and marked his House with the words “We Serve Faithfully”. Meanwhile, Queen Seria flew down to the south, to the deserts of Veildane on the back of her Dragon Vayhar, she landed in the city of Sunspear and met with The King of The Sands, while there, Seria saw fellow men, women and children being sold into slavery. Like her brother, Seria offered peace in return for submission, but King Amicus refused, saying that he’d rather listen to the advice of a drunken taverner than owe fealty to a woman of any kind. Insulted, Seria stood to leave, but she was swiftly put upon by slavers, possibly intending to sell her to a brothel, Seria escaped easily and mounted Vayhar. Perhaps taking inspiration from her brother’s burning of The Black Fortress, Seria immediately set Sunspear ablaze with Dragon fire, reducing the city to a pile of cobalt and glass. Upon reaching Veildane, Blake heard of the horrors of slavery, and thus declared the practice forever abolished and illegal in all corners of his kingdom, gathering the former slaves of Sunspear, Blake allowed them to elect their own leader, and so they presented Ela Marel, who Blake named The Lady of Sand and Glass, Ela then took the colors of a black shackled fist clutching a broken chain on an orange field, marking her House with the words “Better To Die Free Than Live A Slave”. After her sister’s victory, Valkiria flew to The Kingdom of Vale on the back of her Dragon Slephear, landing outside The White Palace, but instead of being met with an army, a child ran out, hopping up and down, wanting to fly on the back of Slephear. Learning that this boy was Timly Arron, King of Vale, Valkiria offered a ride in return for all his lands and titles; naturally, the boy king said yes. Upon landing back on the ground, Valkiria carried the sleeping Timly into The White Palace, where she explained the situation to Ana Arron, Timly’s mother. In return for their submission, Valkiria granted Timly and Ana an estate near the shore of Blake’s Fort, and named her Chamberlain, Hartwal Wallar, Acting Lord of Vale and The River until Timly was old enough to assume the position, Hartwal kept the colors of a white albatross flying across a blue field, and kept the House words “By Our Honor”. Having conquered the rest of Westoriya, Blake turned his gaze up North, ruled by Torrel Whyte, King of All Things North, but instead of taking up arms against Blake and his sisters, Torrel came before Blake and offered all his land and titles on two conditions, first that House Whyte remain the ruling family in The North, and that Blake construct a large wall to keep the raiding tribes from raiding Whyterun. Agreeing to these terms, Blake flew on the back of Baloryes and built a great wall, closing off the mountains where the raiders came from, afterwards Torrel knelt and was named Lord of All Things North to The Wall, adopting some southern traditions, Torrel took the colors of a grey wolf’s head on a white field, and marking his House with the words “Its Always Winter Here” Now having all of Westoriya in his hands, Blake returned to his fort and saw that it has become too small for his visions of a united continent, and so immediately got to work on turning his small wooden fortress, into a massive city of stone and marble, enclosed by a protective wall, guarded by four spires of each side. Seemingly inspired by The Black Fortress, Blake also ordered the construction of The Red Palace, built from red stone, the palace has several tall towers crowned with conical iron roofs, walled off with only a single gateway to serve as the only entrance and exit, much like The Black Fortress, only this was guarded by Dragons. Naming his city Kingston, Blake then ordered all the swords and spears of all the soldiers that fell in the conquest to be piled up before him, then using the power of his and his sister’s Dragons, Blake began hammering at the hot mass of metal. Finally, the Dragons let up, revealing a colossal mass of twisted metal, vaguely shaped like a seat with a set of steep winding stairs leading up to it, naming this metal monstrosity The Throne of Fallen Blades, Blake set it on a raised platform in the hall of The Red Palace. Climbing up the steps and sitting on The Throne, Blake declared his conquest over, and from that day on he was known as Blake The Conqueror. However, almost a year later, The High Priest in Reedstown declared Blake’s rule illegitimate and called all good believers to rise arms against him, Blake initially ignored the act of treason, but one morning while he was strolling The Red Garden, he was attacked by armed monks, but thankfully he had the ever cautious Valkiria at his side and so easily cut each one down. After ensuring her brother’s safety, Valkiria pressed the need of an elite bodyguard, dedicated to the protection of The King and his city, initially Blake refused, believing himself capable of his own protection, in response, Valkiria drew her own sword and cut the tip of his right ear clean off, saying that it could have been his head. Quickly getting over the shock, Blake agreed and Valkiria immediately got to work gathering some of the best Knights of Westoriya, and after much consideration, she chose seven of the best. First there was Miken Samwell, second son of Marken Samwell, Harken Wallar, brother of Hartel Wallar, Elen Marel, son of Ela Marel, Jano Whyte, the supposed illegitimate son of Torrel Whyte, Dunker Mink, a former peasant farmer known as Dunk The Tall, and finally, Valkiria herself, naming them the first Kingsguard. Valkiria made each Knight vow to never hold lands, wed, or have children, to abandon the lives they had before and dedicate themselves to the protection of The King, his family and his city, Valkiria then gave them the colors of seven swords surrounding a crown on a white field, she marked their brotherhood with the words “To Protect And Serve”. Soon The High Priest gathered enough support to mass an army, so Gunar Duffel approached The King and offered to take Reedstown and return with the rebellious Priest in a cage, Blake then referred to his half brother as his strong right hand, the name stuck, and soon Gunar went to battle calling himself, The King’s Hand. Gunar swiftly returned with the mangled body of The High Priest, saying that the people of Reedstown had become tired of The Priest’s incompetence and stormed his villa in order beat him to death, still Blake again rewarded Gunar by making The King’s Hand an official position within his court. Duties of The Hand include commanding The King's armies, drafting laws, dispensing justice, and sitting The Throne when Blake or his sisters are unable to attend. To aid in the running of his kingdom, Blake established The Realm’s Council, naming Lord Marken Master of Banks, Lady Ela Master of Medicine, his sister Viseriya Master of Arms and Seria Master of Law. Blake was mostly seen as a fearsome yet just ruler, but his sisters were almost complete opposites of each other, Valkiria was dark, stern and mysterious, mostly keeping to herself unless Blake was in the room, while Seria was playful, mischievous and kindhearted. For the next seventy years, Blake ruled a united Westoriya, until one day he suffered a sudden stroke while sleeping in his chambers, dying in his bed. Blake’s body was taken back to The Dragon Islands and was placed on a funeral pyre and set ablaze by Baloria, he was immediately succeeded by his first son Jaken Wichearyen, who became King Jaken I. The transition was mostly peaceful, but Seria, unable to bear the loss of her brother and husband, climbed the back of Vayhar and flew over The Dragon Islands before casting herself off the saddle; her body was never found.

   Keys: Wichearyen., Baloris, King

   Baloris I Wichearyen, King of The Dragons, Wolvs and All Men, King of All Westoriya, Lord of The Dragon Islands, Lord-Protector of The Wall, Defender of The Realms, Baloris The Red. Baloris is a Dragonborn with crimson red scales, yellow eyes, short white hair, black horns and a long tail. He often wears a black shirt with gold buttons, red cuffs and a collar, matching trousers, boots and his swords Redflame and Lunae attached to his sides via a swordbelt. On more ceremonial occasions, he wears black and purple robes with ruffled cuffs and collar, a long crimson mantle lined with white ermine fur over his shoulders, along with a gold circlet set with square cut rubies and sapphires on his head and a pair of black gloves. Born during his father, Blake Wichearyen’s conquest of Westoriya, Baloris was the second son from Blake’s second sisterly wife, Seria Wichearyen, his elder brother Prince Jaken, from his other sisterly wife Valkiria Wichearyen, became King upon their father’s death after ruling for seventy years. After King Jaken ascended to The Throne of Fallen Blades, Baloris knelt and swore his service as a Knight of The Kingsguard, thankful for his brother’s oath, Jaken would gift his brother the sword Lunae, a double edged hand and a half sword with a guard shaped like a crescent moon, a handle wrapped in leather dyed a deep blue, a spiracle pommel and a silvery white blade. But then tragedy struck after Queen Seria, unable to live without her brother and husband, flew to The Dragon Islands and threw herself off her Dragon’s saddle, Baloris, Jaken and perhaps all the realms mourned for her. However, this cut short after the rebellious nobles of Veildane overthrew House Marel and reclaimed their titles of Masters and quickly returned to their ways of slavery, true to his peaceful nature, King Jaken sent envoys to try to restore peace, in response The Masters sent their heads in a box with a bloody letter declaring war. Jaken begrudgingly accepted the declaration and sent an army, led by The King’s Hand, Gunar Duffel The Lord of Storm, accompanied by Prince Baloris. Shortly before the war began, Baloris was accepted by his father’s Dragoness, Baloria, for whom he was named after. The army of Gunar and Baloris marched deep into the deserts of Veildane, easily retaking villages with the presence of the enormous Baloria, but the city of Sunspear, already ruined by Seria’s attack decades earlier, was even more defiant than before. Gunar originally planned to have Baloris blast Sunspear off the map with Dragon fire, but instead The Princely Knight offered to warn the people of Sunspear before simply flying over the city a few times on Dragonback. Although skeptical, Gunar allowed the Prince to enact his plan, and soon after the third pass, the people of Sunspear revolted and overthrew The Masters themselves and offered them to The Hand and Prince, and swiftly welcoming House Marel back into Veildane. Returning to Kingston, Gunar’s health quickly worsened, until finally the ever undaunted Storm Lord died in his sleep, both King Jaken and Prince Baloris accompanied each other in the funeral of their uncle, where Jaken shared his intention to declare a new King’s Hand. After the funeral, Jaken appointed Baloris The King’s Hand, despite his reluctance, Baloris took to the role vigorously, implementing various reforms and ensuring that The King’s Peace is kept. Baloris served as both a Knight and The King’s Hand for another five years, until his brother died suddenly in his sleep, Jaken, despite marrying two wives, was unable to sire any children, and so Baloris reluctantly abandoned his oath as a Kingsguard and ascended to The Throne of Fallen Blades before being crowned King of The Dragonborn, Wolvs and All Men, King of All Westoriya and Lord of The Dragon Islands by Queen-Mother Valkiria, continuing the tradition of Westoriyan Kings being crowned by their mothers. To replace his position in The Kingsguard, Baloris knighted his Cousin, squire and best friend, Brander Duffel, the second surviving son of the late Gunar. Immediately the question of marriage was asked throughout the new court, and after much debate and to the scorn of the faith, Baloris decided to marry his own sister, Rhena Wichearyen. Together they would have a daughter, who Rhena would name Deanna, The Princess of Westoriya, the reverse title of Prince was often reserved for the heir apparent, highlighting Rhena’s wish for Deanna to succeed her father, which Baloris acquiesced. Outraged, The High Priest of Reedstown, Lionel Anderson, ordered all those faithful to once again take up arms against The Wichearyens. The conflict, later known as The Faithful Uprising, lasted for several more years until the faithful armies were pushed back to Reedstown, where Baloris outlawed all members of the clergy from calling up arms without permission from the throne for any reason. Taking advantage of the uprising, Gefor Greymound, Lord of The Black Isles declared himself King of The Black Sea and sent a fleet of longships to raid along the shores of Southern Westoriya. The reaction from The King was swift, he sent a fleet towards The Isles, with himself on the back of his Dragon Baloria, landing on the large island, Great Iron, Baloris crushed the brief uprising with Dragonfire. Despite his great anger, Baloris decided to spare Gefor, on the condition that he forgo his title as King, and to ensure that he never raises a hand against the throne, Baloris took Gefor’s only daughter Ashera Greymound to be raised in Kingston as a ward. Ashera soon proved herself cooperative, as well as a good adviser, before long, Baloris trusted her enough to name her the new King’s Hand. Although most of his reign was filled by near constant warfare, Baloris distinguished himself as an administrator, reducing the power of the great land-owning families who dominated Westoriya’s administration and military, filling its treasury, and ensuring a sense of unity across the continent. Baloris would rule for another five decades before dying of natural causes in his old age, as was his wife’s wish, their daughter succeeded him as Queen Deanna I, who would have her own conflict with her younger brother Jaken II.

3. #3Lord Aericconstantselective

   Keys: Navy, Anaeryon., Lord, fleet, Aeric

   Aeric Anaeryon, Lord of Seastone, Master of The Navy. Aeric is a Dragonborn with bluish green scales, teal eyes, deep blue hair and a beard, small horns and a long tail. He often wears luxurious dark blue robes with a simple silver gilded circlet. During battle he wears a suit of armor trimmed with gold and a black cloak over his shoulders, wielding a Dragonsteel pole-axe. Born on Seastone, to Lord Daero Anaeryon and his wife Rhea Dondearyen, Aeric was the eldest of two siblings, a sister named Enma and a brother, Loris. Like most Anaeryons, Aeric was raised to sail, spending equal time on land and sea. In his early teens, Aeric’s sister, Enma was proposed to by Blase Wichearyen, Heir to The Dragon Islands, to whom she would gladly accept. They would wed in a ceremony that would become known as The Seaside Wedding, with Aeric as one of the best men. Three years later, Lord Daero would drown in a storm off the coast of the eastern continent of Estra, leaving Aeric to ascend to The Lordship of Seastone. As one of the few Dragonborn families to survive the destruction of Dragoa, the Anaeryons and the Wichearyens would intertwine with each other to retain their dying race, when they didn’t see a need to intertwine with their siblings instead. Aeric’s great grandfather, Loric Anaeryon, was one of the few who listened to the warnings of Cael Wichearyen, following him and his Dragons to the coast of Westoriya, Loric would settle on a sizable island that he would name Seastone, after the bluish stones that surrounded the shore, while further north Cael would found The Dragon Islands, each proclaiming themselves Lords. Loric would construct The Seakeep, a stronghold of stone bricks painted blue, surrounded by a wall cornered by four towers, at the end of The Great Hall of the keep sits The Seachair, a throne of sorts constructed of white marble panels held by clasps of Dragonsteel, which he and his successors would sit on as Lords of Seastone. Unlike The Wichearyens, the Anaeryons were never able to tame Dragons, even after The Conquest, so instead took the seas and oceans on fleets of warships. When Aeric’s nephew, Blake Wichearyen, landed on Westoriya, aiming to become the continent’s sole King, Aeric and the rest of House Anaeryon immediately pledged their allegiance and aided the future King in his conquest. Soon having all of Westoriya in his hands, Blake returned to his fort and saw that it has become too small for his visions of a united continent, and so immediately got to work on turning his small wooden fortress, into a massive city of stone and marble, enclosed by a protective wall, guarded by four spires of each side. Seemingly inspired by The Black Fortress, Blake also ordered the construction of The Red Palace, built from red stone, the palace has several tall towers crowned with conical iron roofs, walled off with only a single gateway to serve as the only entrance and exit, much like The Black Fortress, only this was guarded by Dragons. Naming his city Kingston, Blake then ordered all the swords and spears of all the soldiers that fell in the conquest to be piled up before him, then using the power of his and his sister’s Dragons, Blake began hammering at the hot mass of metal. Finally, the Dragons let up, revealing a colossal mass of twisted metal, vaguely shaped like a seat with a set of steep winding stairs leading up to it, naming this metal monstrosity The Throne of Fallen Blades, Blake set it on a raised platform in the hall of The Red Palace. Climbing up the steps and sitting on The Throne, Blake declared his conquest over, and from that day on he was known as Blake The Conqueror. To aid in the running of his kingdom, Blake established The Realm’s Council, naming Lord Marken Master of Banks, Lady Ela Master of Medicine, his sister Valkiria Master of Arms and one of his sisterly wives, Queen Seria The Master of Law, while Gunar Duffel took the position of The King’s Hand. Aeric would be given the position of Master of The Navy, his first act was to combine the ships of House Anaeryon and Wichearyen into a singular, much larger royal fleet. Years later, shortly after the death of Blake The Conqueror, Adom Arron, the younger brother of Timly Arron, overthrew his brother and took hold of The White Palace before declaring himself King of The Valeland, in response, King Jaken Wichearyen sent Aeric to surround the city of Valeport with a Royal Fleet, a hastily assembled Arron fleet sailed out to meet the opposing ships, but each Arron ship would sink, Adom drowning among them. In his later years, Aeric would spend most of his time on Seastone, using his remaining days continuing his family’s personal mission to save The Dragonic Language, his writings a novels playing a big part in linguistic studies of Dragonic. Aeric would die of natural causes in The Seakeep, his body was sent to the bottom of the sea before he was succeeded by his son, Jaeric Anaeryon as Lord of Seastone.

   Keys: Holy, Bayloris, Blessed, King, Godhouse.

   Bayloris Wichearyen, King of The Dragons, Wolvs and All Men, King of All Westoriya, Lord of The Dragon Islands, Lord-Protector of The Wall, Defender of The Realms, Bayloris The Blessed, The Virgin King, Holy Bayloris. Bayloris is a Dragonborn with dark red scales, yellow eyes, long white hair, a sharp muzzle and a long tail. Unlike most Wichearyen Kings, Bayloris wears a simple pure white cassock with matching trousers, a pair of simple leather shoes and a red cloak over his shoulders, along with a golden circlet adorned with a crown of flowers. Born during The War of The False King as the youngest son of Queen Blakeriya Wichearyen and Loris Dondearyin, since Bayloris grew up with the notion that he would most likely not become King, and so instead dedicated his life to the worship of The Gods. There are several Gods worshiped across most of Westoriya, Hodir, The Father, Fraymir, The Mother, Faenir, The Son, Amira, The Daughter, and Yanir The Veiled Lady, who is death, together they form the seventh and last deity, The One. During his mother’s reign, Bayloris spent most of his time either praying or fasting, ensuring offerings to The One. Tragedy would strike after his elder brothers Valkor and Annon died in a rebellion in Veildane, leaving Bayloris as the sole heir as The Prince of The Realm. He would spend the coming years balancing his tutoring and his prayers. On his twentieth year, his mother would die of natural causes in her bed, later he was crowned King of The Dragkins, Wolvs and of All Men, King of All Westoriya and Lord of The Dragon Islands in an elaborate ceremony in The Grand Hall of The Red Palace before climbing up the the steep twisted steps of The Throne of Fallen Blades and sat down with his family’s ancestral sword Redflame at his side. After his coronation, Bayloris went to The Red Gardens and, then he suddenly spotted a white raven flying overhead, deciding to follow the abnormal sight, Bayloris saw it land on a sizable hill, declaring the event a holy message, The King ordered the construction of a great Godhouse on the hill. As their name suggests, Godhouses are are usually small hut sized buildings dedicated to one of the several Gods, however The Great Godhouse, later known as The Godhouse of Bayloris, is dedicated to each God, each given a statue and altar, say for The One, who was represented by a large open window, which allowed the sun to send rays of light into the other statues. As more and more pilgrimages were made to The Great Godhouse, The High Priest in Reedstown soon wanted to become The High Priest of Kingston, but Bayloris would only allow that if all men of the faith were never to take up arms against The King, and soon after much debate, the seat of The High Priest was moved to The Great Godhouse in Kingston. Bayloris’ reign was mostly peaceful, he made sure to attend every Realm’s Council he could while balancing his prayers and royal duties, however, as holy as he was, Bayloris never took a wife, reportedly never even losing his virginity. After ruling for almost sixty years, Bayloris died in his sleep with a peaceful smile on his face, unlike the other Wichearyen Kings who were cremated by Dragonfire, Bayloris was entombed in The Great Godhouse before being succeeded by his only surviving nephew, Jaken II.

Gunar is a tall, Stag, reaching a height of 6ft 2in, with light brown fur, a cream underbelly, long brown hair often kept in a ponytail, green eyes, a squared muzzle and a scut tail. He often dresses in a simple beige undershirt, a leather vest, matching pants, tall leather boots and gloves, along with his false right arm forged from steel plates similar to a gauntlet. During battle he wears a suit of polished armor with a yellow padded vest bearing his personal and royal sigil of a crowned black stag’s head on either side and a visored helmet. Born on the smallest of The Dragon Islands to Lord Blase Wichearyen and an unknown woman with the last name Duffle, making him the half brother to Blake, Seria and Viseriya Wichearyen, and technically half Dragkin. Not much is known of his younger years, but as the half brother from an non noble family, Gunar wasn’t given much, say for an education, battle training and a small fortune, along with a warhammer gifted to him by his father, which would eventually become an ancestral heirloom of House Duffel. Despite his half son status, Gunar was welcomed by Blake and his sisters, they would all play, train and even sleep together. Now, seemingly tired of their island, Blake turned his gaze further west, to the other continent of Westoriya. Mounting his Dragoness, Balora, Blake flew across Westoriya, charting a map of everything he saw, then returning to The Dragon Islands, he and his sisters constructed a large table in the shape of the continent, painted with all the rivers, hills, mountains, towns and villages of Westoriya. Gathering a small army, Blake and his sisters landed on a small hill near a river in Westoriya and immediately set up a fort on the top of the hill. Blake then sent letters to all the rulers of Westoriya, stating that each were allowed to keep their lands and wealth, so long as they bend the knee, afterwards, Viseriya crowned Blake with a golden circlet while Seria praised him as King of The Dragkins, Wolvs and of All Men, and King of All Westoriya as Gunar and his men knelt before them. Blake then raised his new banner over the fort, a white Dragon rising up from a bundle of flames on a black field, marking his House with the words “United In Flame”. Naturally the rulers of Westoriya refused Blake’s offer, and it was Harrel Darendal, King of Rock and Tides, that first challenged The Dragons. It is said the conflict began when King Harrel offered the hand of his daughter, Princess Harrlia, to Blake in return for peace, but Blake was in no need of a third wife and so respectfully refused and instead offered her to his half-brother, Gunar Duffel. Insulted, Harrel had the ambassadors visiting him killed, placed their bodies outside his castle with their heads facing Blake’s Fort, in response, Blake sent Gunar with an army to The Stormlands, and faced King Harrel in battle. Blake offered to send one of his sisters on Dragonback to aid in the fight, but Gunar refused, saying that Harrel wasn’t worth the effort of a Dragon. Marching on The Stormlands, Gunar offered peace one last time before facing King Harrel in battle outside his castle, and soon was victorious, but not without losing his right hand to The Storm King. Princess Harrlia then met Gunar with what was left of her forces and surrendered her lands and titles, in return for the victory, Blake gave The Stormlands and The Stormkeep to Gunar naming him The Lord of Storm, Gunar then took the colors of Darendal, a black buck’s head on a yellow field, for his own and marking his House with the words “Taste My Fury”. Gunar then commissioned the creation of a new hand, forged from steel plates with hinges in the fingers to allow him to hold his hammer. From then on, Gunar was known as The Steel Hand. Later, after Blake’s Conquest, The High Priest gathered enough support to mass an army, so Gunar approached The King and offered to take Reedstown and return with the rebellious Priest in a cage, Blake then referred to his half brother as his strong right hand, the name stuck, and soon Gunar went to battle calling himself, The King’s Hand. Gunar swiftly returned with the mangled body of The High Priest, saying that the people of Reedstown had become tired of The Priest’s incompetence and stormed his villa in order to beat him to death, still Blake again rewarded Gunar by making The King’s Hand an official position within his court. Duties of The Hand include commanding The King's armies, drafting laws, dispensing justice, and sitting The Throne of Fallen Blades when Blake or his sisters are unable to attend. To aid in the running of his kingdom, Blake established The Realm’s Council, naming Lord Marken Master of Banks, Lady Ela Master of Medicine, his sister Viseriya Master of Arms and Seria Master of Law. As The King’s Hand, Gunar further consolidated the several realms, sought reform and change while maintaining the traditions of Westoriya, and oversaw the distribution of a singular currency, consisting of gold, silver or copper coins called Marcs stamped with the image of Blake’s head surmounted by his titles. One evening, after almost seventy years of rule, King Blake suffered a sudden stroke while sleeping in his chambers, dying in his bed. Blake’s body was taken back to The Dragon Islands and was placed on a funeral pyre and set ablaze by Baloria, he was immediately succeeded by his first son Jaken Wichearyen, who became King Jaken I. tragedy struck after Queen Seria, unable to live without her brother and husband, flew to The Dragon Islands and threw herself off her Dragon’s saddle, Baloris, Jaken and perhaps all the realms mourned for her. However, this cut short after the rebellious nobles of Veildane overthrew House Marel and reclaimed their titles of Masters and quickly returned to their ways of slavery, true to his peaceful nature, King Jaken sent envoys to try to restore peace, in response The Masters sent their heads in a box with a bloody letter declaring war. Jaken begrudgingly accepted the declaration and sent an army, led by The King’s Hand, the now almost over sixty, Gunar Duffel The Lord of Storm, accompanied by Prince Baloris. Shortly before the war began, Baloris was accepted by his father’s Dragoness, Baloria, for whom he was named after. The army of Gunar and Baloris marched deep into the deserts of Veildane, easily retaking villages with the presence of the enormous Baloria, but the city of Sunspear, already ruined by Seria’s attack decades earlier, was even more defiant than before. Gunar originally planned to have Baloris blast Sunspear off the map with Dragon fire, but instead The Princely Knight offered to warn the people of Sunspear before simply flying over the city a few times on Dragonback. Although skeptical, Gunar allowed the Prince to enact his plan, and soon after the third pass, the people of Sunspear revolted and overthrew The Masters themselves and offered them to The Hand and Prince, swiftly welcoming House Marel back into Veildane.

   The Throne of Fallen Blades, sometimes called The Throne of Blades or The Twisted Throne, is a colossal mass of swords, shields and spears, melted by Dragonfire and hammered into something vaguely shaped like a seat with a set of steep winding stairs leading up to it. Constructed by Blake Wichearyen, better known as Blake The Conqueror, this monstrosity would serve as the seat of House Wichearyen for the next five hundred years, located in The Grand Hall of The Red Palace. In The King’s absence, The King’s Hand, The Queen or The Prince of The Realm may sit and hold court in his place. During the more official Realm’s Council, a long table is placed in front of the throne, where The Masters sit in front of The Throne. The Throne is often described as being uncomfortable and even dangerous to sit on, various twisted swords flare up and point towards whoever sits in it. According to some stories, The Throne is cursed, saying that whoever sits on its chair and is cut by one of the various jagged blades might be unworthy to rule, some even believe that The Throne is alive and constantly tests whomever sits in it.

   The Sworn Order of The Kingsguard are a group of elite bodyguards, dedicated to the protection of The King of All Westoriya, the royal family and the city of Kingston. The Kingsguard are sworn for life and are forbidden from owning land, taking a spouse, or having children, although they can hold non-hereditary commands, such as being appointed wardens, stewards and custodians, some Knights were even appointed as The King’s Hand. The first duty of the Kingsguard is defending the king from harm. They are sworn to obey the king's commands, to keep his secrets, to counsel him when requested and to keep silent when not, and to defend his name and honor. The king can decide to extend the protection offered by the Kingsguard to others. The Kingsguard is composed of seven men, all of them sworn knights. A Kingsguard knight serves for life, regardless of age or any physical or mental ailments. However, if a knight is incapable of serving, or worse, lost their honor, they are dishonorably dismissed and stripped of their sword and cloak, and in some cases, executed. The Kingsguard was founded by Queen Valkiria, after The High Priest of Reedstown sent a group of Armed Brother Monks to assassinate her brother, Blake The Conqueror, which they obviously failed.

   Keys: Kingsguard, Commander, Princess, Lady

   Princess Balorya Wichearyen, Lay Sister Knight of The Kingsguard, Lady Commander of The Kingsguard.

   Balorya is an exceptionally tall Dragonborn reaching a height of 6ft 5in with red scales, yellow eyes, pointed triangular ears, horns, long silvery blonde hair, a strong build, small breasts and a long tail. On duty, she wears a full suit of polished white armor with a pure white cape over her shoulders and a visored helmet, along with a half sword at her side. When off duty, she wears a simple white tunic and trousers, knee high boots and a pair of gloves.

   Born a grandniece of Bayloris The Blessed to his only surviving nephew, Jaken II, King of The Dragons, Wolvs and of All Men, King of All Westoriya and Lord of The Dragon Islands.

   The youngest of five older brothers, Balorya grew up accepting the fact that she would never ascend to The Throne of Fallen Blades, so instead she spent most of her youth living a life of relative comfort, dreaming of being taken away by some handsome young Prince, until one evening she witnessed the Knighting of a new member of The Kingsguard and was inspired ever since.

   Unlike most Princess that readied themselves to be married off, Balorya spent her teenage years secretly training under Sir Dunker Mink, who was often cited as the greatest Knight since Blake’s Conquest, later at the age of fourteen, she revealed her ambitions of becoming a Knight, and after much debate, Jaken eventually agreed to squire her.

   Her training would advance, she learned how to care for and ride a horse, maintain the upkeep of her father’s armor. Finally, on her nineteenth year, her father knighted her as the seventh most member of The Kingsguard, taking the oath to never marry, forsake all lands and titles, to hold The King’s Peace and to act on his Justice.

   Years later, her father died of natural causes in his sleep and was succeeded by his brother, Blakyn Wichearyen, shortly afterwards a band of bandits led by a Man calling himself The Scavenger King, started raiding multiple villages in the deserts of Veildane, and soon House Marel called for The King to send aid.

   Honoring the call, King Blakyn flew down to Veildane and started the campaign against The Scavenger King, after two years, The Wichearyen Army encircled the raiders at Starfall in the southern most tip of Veildane, soon The Scavenger King met the Wichearyen Host with a white flag, and offered a duel against a champion, if the champion won then his men would surrender.

   Naturally Balorya was the only one who offered to take the challenge, meeting The Scavenger King in front of the walls, she made quick work of her opponent, winning just after a few swings of her sword and single-handedly won the war.

   However, King Blakyn died on his way back to Kingston from a disease contracted while in Veildane, and so his son ascended the throne as King Aenryes I, who after his crowning, named Balorya The Lady Commander of The Kingsguard.

   Six years later, Balor The Godforsaken, of the exiled House Black, crowned himself King and began invading Westoriya from Seastone, starting The Second War of The False Kings.

   Balor Black was grotesquely large and malformed, giving him his epithet of The Godforsaken, yet he remained the head of House Black, and soon he made his way to The Stormlands, thankfully, Balorya and her men were resting in a nearby village, where they then caught Balor and his rearguard in a surprise ambush, which resulted in Balorya slaying The False King herself.

   Balorya would continue to serve her nephew Aenryes until his death, he was then succeeded by his son, who became King Jaken III.

   Balorya would die in her chambers during the mid reign of King Jaken III, she’s mainly remembered for her battle prowess, her talents rivaled that of her teacher, Sir Dunker.
