Background Story:

The Beginning
This story begins with the first born son of a poor carpenter. Growing up in poverty, this young boy watched his father go out early every morning and come home late at night with barely enough food to feed him self let alone a family of four. When the boy was barely a teenager, he vowed he would make something of his life and not let his fathers sacrifices be in vain. So, at the young age of fifteen, he left his home and set out to become the greatest man ever.

He then joined a band of warriors and learned to fight. Then one day, they were ambushed by a group of outlaws. His mentor was slain as was most of the band of his brotherin. At the end of the bloody fight for survival, the dead were counted and committed to the earth as their traditions dictated. Out of twenty warriors, only three were still alive. They had slain all of the outlaws with no mercy or compassion. The three who were still alive said their good byes and went on their separate ways never to see each other again.

This young warrior wandered the land fighting what ever evil force came his way. He vowed he would not stop until the evil that sent his brotherin to their graves was dead. He was determined to defend the weak and protect all life no matter the cost.

Then one cold dark night, he found himself staring down one of the darkest evils. In front of him stood a towering eight foot tall lich lord with a woman’s head in his cold undead hands. An overwhelming rage came over the young warrior as he rushed the evil creature. A bloody and painful battle occurred that lasted what felt like a life time. When the battle was finally over, the young warrior found himself lying in a river of his own blood next to a vanquished undead giant.

As he felt his vary essence starting to slip away, he looked back on his life with joy at what he has accomplished, at the many evils he had vanquished, and the lost friends that had fallen for the noble quest for good, then at that moment he knew he could die with pride and honor in the way he has lived his life.


A Knighthood
Then to his surprise, he awoke on a hospital bed with a strange man standing over him. This man was the head of a noble order that devoted their very being to what the young man spent his life trying to accomplish. This stranger had found him lying next to a vanquished undead giant and carried him to the hospital for care. As soon as he was strong enough to make the journey, he joined his new family in a small keep to start his training. To his joyous surprise, he was reunited with his two younger brothers and his cousin he had left back home.

After a lot of hard work and training, he took an oath and was knighted. His job as a knight was to wander the land and protect all those in need as well as his new master. He did this for a long time with pride and honor.

Then one painful day, the order in which he pledged his life fell to ashes when the noble lord was poisoned and died. The young grief stricken knight buried his fallen mentor and said good bye once more to his family and set out to wonder the land again.


The Life Of A Kingdom
Sometime later, this knight decided to make a home of his own when he met another warrior like himself. This warrior identified himself as Dakkon, a virtuous fighter with the same principles as his own. They decided to start a kingdom of their own. The knight and his new friend then moved into a small stone tower. They gathered a small group of followers and the knight was crowned king by all his people. Dakkon then went on a quest to prove his loyalty and compassion to the people of the land. On his return, he swore allegiance to the crown as well as the cause for the good of the land. He was knighted as first knight, which made him the leader of all knights to come.

Then one day while leading a raid on the juka armies, this young king met a beautiful princess named lily. Lily came from an order of dragon tamers that fell to the hands of the Jukas. Understanding her pain, he invited her to join his kingdom and seek revenge for her people as well as all others that have fallen to evil. She agreed and joined the kingdom. As the days turned to weeks and the weeks turned to months, they finally finished killing the jukas and getting revenge for her fallen people.

One day, while exploring a new land, the young king came across the opening of a new spectacular town. He was greeted by a wise and noble duke. The duke showed the young king around his great town. The duke explained this town was called Darkmoor and told the young king of its purpose in helping all people in need. The king was astonished at a whole city designed for the specific task of helping complete strangers with no expectation of reward. The young king felt and overwhelming joy and excitement, he then offered to help in any way he could.

Many months down the road the king and princess had gotten very close and decided to get married. The young king decided to approach Darkmoor with this task. They were married in the Temple of Compassion in Darkmoor for the whole town to see.

Then one dark night, while on patrol, dakkon, the young king, the young queen, and the royal guard found a small settlement. This settlement was set ablaze by an unknown evil that came out of the dark and returned there when they were done. The group rushed into the blaze looking for survivors. In a pile of burring rubble, the young queen found a young boy no older then ten years old. This boy was the sole survivor of this settlement.

They looked around for others but none were found and the ground was covered in blood and bodies. When the boy awoke, he identified himself as Bojunkins, the son of the settlement blacksmith. He never remembered what had happened to the settlement.

When Bo reached the age of thirteen, the king and queen adopted him as their own and declared him to be the prince. Bo wanted to learn the art of magery and animal lore, so he was sent to a close childhood friend of the king to be schooled in both complicated arts.

Many seasons later, a war was declared on the orcs. The king, queen, and the warriors of the kingdom, went to vanquish their foes. The war waged on for months and many brave men had fallen. The king’s army vanquished the orcish horde and took their dead home to be buried with honor. During the last battle, the queen was injured by an orc arrow and fell ill. She was taken to empathy Abby in yew for better medical care.

On the way back from the Abby, the king and Sir Dakkon along with the royal guard ran into small group of warriors led by Vesuvan Spirit (a noble paladin), Shadow (a warrior mage), and Aeowyn (a warrior mage). They wished to join the great kingdom in hopes to vanquish evil and defend the weak. They were welcomed with open arms.

The new warriors changed the changed the small kingdom for the best and helped add countless others. They brought an honor and commitment that to this day hasn’t been matched.

Then one day, while fighting ettins and earth elementals in despise, they received two new great warriors. A mage named Liche (how ironic) and a great swordsman named Aries.

A few months later, the king learned his beloved wife fell into a coma and had a low chance of recovery. After the news of the queen, the small kingdom fell under attack by assassins. Hearing the news of the kingdoms possible demise, an unlikely warrior came out of the dark to help. A rogue necromancer named Ripper joined the ranks of the kingdom to help defeat the assassins.

This war with terror waged on for months and started taking its toll. Many great warriors fell to the hands of these chaotic silent attackers. Knowing the kingdom was slowly meeting demise, the king dispatched his knights and warriors to all corners of the land. Their instructions were to start over and wait till they here from the king. As Aries left, he and him group were ambushed and killed by an unknown villain.

After that, the king decided it was too dangerous for his warriors to return and released them from their vows. Their instructions were to start over some where else with new masters and kingdoms. The king knew his kingdom was finished and decided to spend his time with his wife and son.

After months of talking, the cleric decided to do so.

He rejoined many of his comrades in the kingdom. As soon as the kingdom was rebuilt, other armies and kingdoms joined the king forming not one kingdom but eight in one. They all went out and waged war on all evil that showed there faces in all Sonoma. The king’s son returned and took his place next to his father and aunt.
