-Lord Ranthax Kershmede, Feline

The story of Ranthax Kershmede has been told for centuries. Much of the original account has been changed through time, but certain facts remain truthful.

Ranthax was born in the eastern quarter of Catalania City, first and only son of Anethian Kershmede, a humble carpenter. His family was poor, and they lived on the bottom floor of a tiny building. The Kershmede family, however, had been a respected, traditional family about seventy years before the birth of Ranthax. But business went badly for Anethian's father, and they had been forgotten by the people of the city.

At the early age of nine, Ranthax had grown nearly to the size of his father, and had been noticed at the High Temple of Cattar for his great religious devotion. It was at this time that he began to study the arts of war, and some surmise that this decision was taken with an aim towards the position of Paladin of Cattar.

A few years later, Ranthax had grown even more, now being considered the mightiest being in the capital. His ability in battle became renown, and when the Emperor Thocoly Lob sponsored a summer joust, Ranthax was the sole victor in every competition that he had entered. It was at this time, at age of 24, that he was made a Knight of the Empire.

Ranthax served the Empire for a very long time, and made many powerful enemies, particularly within the orders of Gondor. He conquered the position of Lord High Commander of the Imperial Militia in his youth, and during this youth traveled through the united Empire in search of new challenges. It is said that during one of his journeys, he met the Messi in Lione. Starn, a Paladin at the time, was being considered the greatest swordsman in the land, and Ranthax politely requested a bout. Hundreds gathered to watch the match outside the city. By the end of the bout, neither warrior stood, and both had to be swiftly aided by clerics. Today Starn is a deity representing loyalty, honor, and mastery in ones weapon.

Ranthax Kershmede maintained close, strong ties with his family. He returned the honor to the Kershmede name, and moved his parents back to the original house of his grandfather. He also married a young lady from the Second Imperial house, and had two sons.

Ranthax commanded the Imperial forces in several wars, bringing victory in all but the last, the Second Barbarian War. The terrible barbarian forces were being commanded by Ansgar Draco, the High Messenger of Gondor. Ansgar was clearly the Empire's greatest enemy, and Ranthax was the main reason the orders of Gondor had been subdued for more time than most could remember. The Emperor warned Ranthax that this war could very well be an extravagant, evil plan to defeat him.

But the Lord High Commander led the Empire into a brilliant campaign, stopping the massive barbarian effort right in their own lands. It was during the eighth year of this tiring war that Ranthax and his group of officers, traveling to Brandon from Catalania city, were intercepted by an immense group formed by the most powerful clerics of Gondor. Among them were over fifty Patriarchs and Elders, and the three Messengers of Gondor themselves. The terrible battle lasted an hour, and only one officer survived, returning to the capital during the war. The defeat of Ranthax was a major blow to the Empires morale. It was one of his students, Roil Caius Damesi, that took his place and won the war for the Empire.

Like Roil, Ranthax was not fated to die during the Era of Destiny. He returned some centuries later, being raised at his resting place near Jaguari, and soon after he met a descendant that looked much like him. Ranthax is 2.60 tall and has dark fur. His eyes are dark green and he is immensely strong. Ranthax is Good beyond normal comprehension, and because of this he is treated like a saint in most cites of the Empire. It is said that he is the greatest sword master to have ever lived, and he created the famous Kershmede style.

Ranthax is currently staying at a castle he built in the Calliak Forest, and does not have an official position within the Empire of Catalania. He has not returned to the Empire for some time, and is dedicating his attention to helping the villages near his home with agriculture, militia training, and religious guidance. Also, his aging process has slowed considerably since he returned from the Barbarian War.

The Knights of the Empire

The Knights of the Empire are the most respected warriors in Catalania, and their virtues, accented by a strict code of honor, are legendary in lands far and wide. The order is commanded by the Protecting Knights, always five in number, and these are the most powerful and noble of all the Knights. To be made a Knight of the Empire, one must accept and complete a special quest for the Emperor. Another way to become a Knight is to request a bout with one of the Protecting Knights. If the candidate wins the challenge, he is made a Knight. But the Protecting Knight can refuse to accept the bout if he believes the opponent is unworthy of the opportunity. Described below are the five Protecting Knights.

-Ranthax Hadleston the Defender, Feline

Ranthax Hadleston is a descendant of Ranthax Kershmede, and has an extraordinary resemblance to the latter. The only apparent difference between the two is their ages, and of course their attire. Born in Yonmayer, Ranthax has served the Empire for a decade, and for several years was Lord High Commander of Imperial Forces, with the heroic title of "Defender." He has led the Imperial forces to victory on many occasions, although he frequently asks Trana Diosis to step in where mass militia strategy is needed. Ranthax prefers to operate with small groups of elite warriors, and he is an excellent strategist when needed.

Like Kershmede, Hadleston is about 2.60m tall, and has green eyes. His fur is dark, and he appears to be unbelievably strong. His age appears to be around 53.

Ranthax Hadleston is light hearted and energetic, enjoying many kinds of humor but never being foolish. He studied five years in Gar Tse with a legendary sword master that many believe to be a lesser god, and has traded the use of the traditional Catalanian Bastard Sword for the use of a Katana and Wakizashi in the Dragon style. He is a master himself, and has inherited the war skills of his ancestor.

-Trana Diosis, Feline

Trana Diosis was born in Brandon, and was given a strict education. His father had been a very successful general of the Imperial Cavalry, and Trana was given military manners from an early age. When he was twenty, he left home and began his training to be a Paladin of Cattar. Later, he was invited to be the commander of forces for the Barony of Kerney, and he has ties with current nobles in Kerney to this day.

Trana has always been austere and loyal. He is eloquent, and knows every rule of etiquette. In war, many consider his skill to be unique, and although opinions vary widely, many even believe him to be more effective than Ranthax Hadleston. He is a master of the Blue Sun sword style.

Trana Diosis is about 1.95 tall and has dark brown fur. His eyes are hazel, and he has the ideal physical build for a warrior. He appears to be about 63 years old. Trana is normally wearing a full suit of armor, and at social gatherings will at least wear a chest plate.

-Dioga Bren, Feline

Dioga is the main bureaucrat within the Imperial Palace. He is responsible for maintaining the Emperor informed of everything of importance, and spends most of his day beside the ruler of the Empire of Catalania. He is always prepared for any situation, from the unexpected visit of a representative from a far away land, to sudden attempts to place the Emperors life in danger. Although Dioga is not a flawless swordsman like Hadleston or Diosis, he is very competent with his weapon. He uses a light long sword and is specialized in the Imperial style.

Dioga Bren was born on a small estate to the north of Catalania city. His family is the Eighteenth Imperial House, and Dioga had a very comfortable life during his youth as a member of the Imperial court and warrior in training. He soon found, however, that he was not born to be a battle hungry Paladin of Cattar, and left for a harsh life among the Gray Wizards. For many years he learned the secrets of the arcane arts, and he returned to the Empire a wiser Feline.

Dioga finished his warrior training, and was later offered the position he now holds by the Emperor himself. He is about 1.90 tall, and is fairly well built. Dioga prefers to use light armor, and one of the great secrets the Gray Wizards revealed to him was how to cast simple magic while using armor. Dioga has dull gray fur and blue eyes, and he appears to be around 57 years old.

-Meryn Feres, Feline

Lady Meryn Feres is the daughter of Wulitzton Feres, lord of the Fifth Imperial House. She does not have strong ties to the family, since her choice, since youth, to be a warrior was never supported by her father. She has retained some of the Fifth Houses wealth, however, and owns an extraordinary mansion in the northern Imperial District.

Meryn was born in the High Temple of Cattar. She was given the best education possible, and when she first started to study swordsmanship, her family became very concerned. But Meryn continued to pursue her career as a warrior, until she aided Imperial troops to rescue a group of kidnapped clerics of Cattar. Her courage and great ability with the sword soon earned her the title she now possesses.

Lady Meryn Feres enjoys city life, is fluent in a great amount of languages, and understands the finest intricacies of Imperial law. Unlike Dioga Bren, she focuses on Imperial matters outside the Emperors Palace. Meryn is about 1.85m tall, has bright brown fur, and blue eyes. She appears to be around 50 years old, with excellent physical form.

-Rotunda Ciatin, Feline

Rotunda is about 1.88m tall and has mixed light gray and white fur. He does not have the same physical form as the other Protecting Knights, being a bit overweight for his size, but is nonetheless strong and healthy. He has one blue eye and one dark eye.

Rotunda Ciatin is from a family of farmers from the northern Blue Sun Mountains. He became a cleric of Cattar when he was 20, and moved steadily up the rank of his religion until he became a personal assistant to the High Messenger in Catalania city. He soon became a Paladin and the Temples requested he be admitted to the Knight of the Empire as a representative of Cattar. Although the Emperor was reluctant in simply allowing Rotunda to enter the orders, he granted the Orders of Cattar their wish after Rotunda aided the Knights in some of their duties near the Imperial Palace, proving he would be very helpful to them.

Rotunda is merry, and is always smiling. Some say he is the happiest knight of the Empire. Rotunda appears to be about 58 years old. He is considered a important authority within the Temple of Cattar, and is familiar with virtually every sacred book in his faith.

The Knights of the Snar

The Militocracy of the Snar values skill in battle greatly, and the laws of the Militocracy reflect their concern in having a strong militia and warrior population. The greatest warriors within the Militocracy are given the opportunity - when a position is vacant - to become members of the Knights of the Snar. Only five Knights of the Snar can exist at any one time, and to occupy a vacant position one must be invited by the General King himself.

The Knights of the Snar are the personal guard of the General King, and are expected to travel on moments notice on behalf of their country. They are guided by a code of honor, and are normally reserved and diplomatic.

The current group of Knights are particularly special for their strong loyalty to each other, and of course to the Militocracy.

He also spent two years in Lione studying Tirelian at the Academy of Lione.

When Fathsoore was dubbed Knight in Jaguari, it was near the end of the war with the Kingdom of Freemen (an evil dominion that was based in Ocelot port), and all the other Knights had been slain in the war. Already an experienced warrior, Fathsoore set out to the north and solved a few problems with orc raiding parties near Orgoss. But his journey back to Jaguari was full of dangers, including a terrible battle with an undead army. He met the other four members of the Knights on this trip back to Jaguari, and sponsored their Knighthood for the invaluable help they had offered.

Kris was the last member to join the Knights, and at the time was found battling a group of soldiers of the Militocracy. At first, Fathsoore and the other soon to be Knights did not trust her, and Narek Galur in particular believed she would betray the group. But her help was crucial during the end of Fathsoores journey to Jaguari, and she convinced the group she was a victim of the soldiers greed. Narek, however, still finds her to be too mysterious.

Kris Merkova is a master with the Melwith swordstyle, and has earned the respect of the warrior class through competence an action.

He was once the victim of an assassination attempt that scarred his throat. Like the other Knights, he will dispatch any assassin he sees.

Narek lived in a small village in the Snar Mountains for six months preparing for the trip back to Eldrine, and joined a group of warriors to facilitate the journey. These were the soon-to-be Knights, and he quickly befriended them all. His advice as a guide and his fast thinking aided the group on many occasions, and Nareks cheerful personality raised morale. For this help he was dubbed Knight of the Snar.

He was with the group when they came upon Kris Merkova. Knowing of the problems between the Militocracy and the Sylvan Elves - Troops of the Snar have tried to occupy Elven land on many occasions - he has never fully trusted Kris. But he has learned to control these feeling, instead making his suspicions known through occasional wry humor.

Narek Galur has dark brown hair and dark eyes, and appears to be about 40 years old.

But on many occasions, the High Messenger of Gondor, Ansgar Draco, met the Paladin and used powerful illusions to corrupt him.

Ansgar Draco was always nearby, tormenting Karlin with memories of the terrible event. Karlin could not resist, and was corrupted.

On one of his raids near Eldrine, he met a Halfling named Skink. Although skink was clearly a good being, Karlin felt something in him that appealed to his nearly lost sense of justice. Skink learned of Karlins story, and joined him as travel companion.

Slowly, Skink started to persuade Karlin to return to the side of good, and Ansgar was too busy to notice that Karlin was being turned. On a visit to the city of Felineo, Karlin met an attractive sorceress called Fevigia. They fell in love, and Fevigia began to help Skink in saving Karlin from the grasp of the Messenger of Gondor. They were finally successful, and the group set out to destroy Ansgar.

They reached the High Temple and were greeted by Ansgar and his son Ulric. The battle that followed was epic, and Karlin was almost victorious. But the first to be defeated was Karlin, leaving the other two terribly downcast. Fevigia and Skink soon followed Karlins fate.
