So yeah, as stated in the title…
While deep in thought about the peoples of Arillion, I found myself turning towards the Middle Kingdom (A name given by the other ruling kingdoms). A small realm of peaceful folk (farmers for the most part), folk who do not have a ruling royalty of sorts, but they do ordain a Mayor as such to oversee the troubles of their little realm…
Somehow, I stumbled upon a young lad (27 Seasons old) who holds a small farmstead left to him in his Uncle’s will. Though his Uncle was just the holder of his brothers Farmstead until his nephew was deemed old enough to own it rightfully (all documents are within the Halls of Details at Halthorn Town (the central settlement of this kingdom).
As I wandered through his past (all in my head at this point), I found myself naming him, and his father (who died some time ago), and his uncle too… They seemed like really nice people who many of the townsfolk speak highly of…
But, I’m torn… Torn between the past and future of these people…
The names:- Young lad, 27 seasons old (Seasons are Years in this tale) called Aldan. His deceased father:- Culdan. His also deceased Uncle:- Falgorin (which is how he received his farmstead in the reading of the will)…
The past:- Culdan hails from the far East and the Imperial City of Olban, and is renowned by just a few who still live as “One of the greatest swordsmen ever to have lived”. Yet he deserted Olban and took a great and powerful item with him. This happened many thousands of seasons ago (Men in my tale live for many thousands of seasons).
The Futrure:- Geldrid sends men from Acoss (Those who left Olban under penalty of death if they ever return) to seek out the last remaining force of arms from Acoss who now dwell in the middle kingdom, and to ride forth to the aid of Redstone and their diminished army to hold back the advances of Astiol…
The present thoughts of the Author:- How could I get Aldan involved in this war? How do I get Aldan to discover the Powerful Artefact? And what could it be?
I’m not always short of solutions, but right now I’m a little buggered as to how I should interject this person and show the family history also…
Any ideas? All would be helpful indeed.
