"Weakness is a Choice."

"March Forth With Valour."

"We conquer all."

Pale skinned and stocky, Volund sports the apperance of a veteran who has never seen the sun. Where men who spend their lives campaigning, darkening their skin in the summers, Volund remains elusive to the darkening. It would be ignorant to think him an abomination for his eyes are harsh hazels that when focus, burrow their way to those they see.Imperial thoroughly, his jaw is strong and angular, and it sits atop a body rife and fit with musculature, spent from days crushing skulls and piercing hearts.

Standing at the height of five feet and ten inches, Volund is of average height. He often sports monochromatic colors, never enjoying imperial dress and regalia but often sporting simple Cyrodiilic military dress.Only for such tastes to be abandoned in the favor of personalization. He wears now a horned helm of a slain foe, it's serpentine visage is open and would have been venomous had the icon of a dragon sitting atop the plume defined it to favoring the king of the gods.

On the Surface

Everyone who meets him says he's serious. There's never been a more serious man than Volund. He is harsh and severe, but surprisingly fair. It is a twisted sense of majesty that emanates from him, for he is quick to be severe in the meting out of justice for punishment. Failure is not tolerated nor ever considered. Mercy is granted in the form of a quick death to a foe worthy of it.Time spent with him has labeled many to call him stubborn, prideful, ambitious, and idealistic to the point that they might call him insane. His stubbornness is both admirable and held in contempt, as it has been the decisive factor in winning a battle that couldn't be won only for the bonds that could be formed to be delayed or denied.He is by all means a cynic who bears his pain with courage, he does not rule from a place of love or compassion but rules from iron. Others attribute him as an intimidating man, who's ambitions and arrogance sore highly with the utter danger he is capable of. For a warlord such as him brings nothing but death around them.

Beneath the surface

What a rare thing to go beneath the surface and see someone at their core. It is rare to see it deep within him save for the trusted few.They say he cares, he is fair, and that ability to see his warmth must be earned. He gives everyone a chance. He is a good man who does evil things.Others see that he takes care of his own, he demands much from his followers but grants them much, sharing in their struggles as he fights beside them.
At the deepest level, he is capable of love. A protector, one supports, and patronizes those who have supported him in turn. And that love that he espouses but masks runs so deeply that it contradicts the coldness he shows openly.

Cyrodiil

Cyrodiil is his home. Particularly in the West, Volund, his movement, his dream, and his army are Cyrodiilic. Their presence in Cyrodiil will never be expunged. Though at one point fully invested in the west with their campaigns, slowly they have begun to crept east. It is only a matter of time, that the man himself establishes a demense in the Eastern lands of Cyrodiil.

Western Skyrim

Born in Skryim, despite his emigration to Cyrodiil at a young age. There are quiet bonds that tether him back to Skyrim. It is a combination of his own vision, cultural roots, and fondness for the close bonds forged between himself and the nords of Skyrim that have led him to conclude a permit of persence in the western realm of Skryim. It is minimal but there. Volund has yet to visit the city of Solitude but his name has been brought there in mercantile circles.

Aetius Sintav - Bucellarius | Oathbound

"I did not seek for Sintav. I do not care for the weak who have faltered. Compassion belongs to those who endure. Yet my wife has given him succor and has persuaded me to take him into service. By my wife's word I accept Sintav into service."

Agrippa Sevso - Bucellarius | Oathbound

"Retained for good service, old but professional. He is among a dying breed of men to have remembered what olden times had looked like. Yet the skills offered shall be taken into great effect. And in turn I am lucky to be able to give him the honors he is due."

Andelius Mathan (Bran) - Veteranius | Comrade

"All that time ago, a mercenary into my service, drew his sword in the name of protection when a subrdoinate's ire had been drawn. That level of emotional protectiveness wasn't expected. But then when serving and fighting together, one becomes close. Andelius is a comrade."

Alremenus Furus Valredius - Dux of Rhenum | Vassal

"Brave man to keep his fight. We have helped him finish it. Rhenum is freed and i have his loyalty. That is important. With his loyalty the road to Skingrad is open. But more importantly, in helping him I have displayed to the world what i have done and what i shall continue to do."

Alremenus Furus Valredius - Dux of Rhenum | Vassal

"Brave man to keep his fight. We have helped him finish it. Rhenum is freed and i have his loyalty. That is important. With his loyalty the road to Skingrad is open. But more importantly, in helping him I have displayed to the world what i have done and what i shall continue to do."

Arrenis Valori - Notarius of the Scriniae | Efficient Bureacratic Subordinate

"Arrenis Valori was selected and brought into the scriniae from his service rendered onto the Vicar. He had performed well and been transferred by the recommendations of Virathus. Since then Arrenis has composed letters, recorded events, and show himself a Notarius capable of accomplishing multiple tasks assigned to him. It is a pity he enjoys the services of the Cerulean Moon too much. His purse would be fatter, and perhaps that might make his demeanor more pleasant.But a courtesan's company is a better vice than Deedra worship, thus I will tolerate it, so long as it is no burden onto the Imperium. "

Brynjar Bear-Blade - Bucellarius | Oathbound

"In Magnolia House, the nord voiced of knowing the Captain-General who I have left in Skyrim to watch over the treasure. I recruited this nord into my service and have seen him armed and amrored. He has a bear as a mount."

Cadmor Bull-Horn - "The World Eater" Centurion of the Iuniores | Pitied

"There was a chance to have been more for you, I have dashed that. You are a monster, I could have pulled you back from that abyss along with all of the clan in my service. I did not. I failed. Now all that remains are broken men. All but two are in prison, howling with a fury hotter than a million stars. Failure is the greatest teacher, but I wonder if what you see in your failure, is the failure of my vision?"

Cairenn the weaver - Reach-Witch | retainer

"She came to us, seeking service. A reachwoman halfbreed. Poor girl has lived a life of contrast, where one screams to spirits, and the other prays in stone churches. Yet in her duality as both a provincial and of Cyrodiilic heritage, she offers a perspective into the world outside of our own. Originally she had taken as a healer, but her counsel in an appeal to the culture of the reachmen have borne fruit."

Caius Lavinius - Primicerius | Retainer

"Caius will fix things. That's what he does. That is what brings him comfort. He enjoys inflicting chaos in a controlled fashion and thrives upon it. Yet he seeks beyond all things, a place where he may thrive and find his future."

Cato Catosius - Praefect of the Legion Logistics | Inspector

"Quick to judge, decisive in his actions. Cato holds rashness as he does procuedure and protocol. He needs refinement but he is pure in his purpose. When the sword is sharpened, he will become instrumental."

Cavortius Vantinius - Palatina Seniore | Adored

"he is among the original band of my followers, from the days of Entius and Westport, to what was the Margraviate of Aspern, to now the Dominate of Spatharia. Cavortius and the rest of his bretheren, are my most trusted followers, and I love them."

Decortius Decurio - Prior of Veylin | Appreciated

"Decortius is a man whose compassion and sense of ethos is far more open and warm than that of my own. In him, I see spirituality, tests of his faith, and he overcomes them. I believe him to be among the better of the many men I have met in my life. I respect him and I value what he brings not just to my life, but to the lives around him."

Eira of Nothing | Nord Witch - Thoughtful

"it has been sometime since I had seen this woman. The last time I had seen her, had been when she had attended the ennobling of Mariana, my wife, before our marriage. I had shouted at her to quiet down as she had cheered loudly. Before that we spoke once in Skyrim's lands, where she had voiced to me quite openly she was with one of my soldiers. In that time, she had amused me. Now that I have not seen her this long, I am left to question what had become of her? I would like to talk to her again."

Enna Bull-Horn | Reachman Warrior | Storms in her head

"This girl is the baby of the bull-horns. I know that very well, because she lacks their bloodthirstiness, says odd but perceptive things, and acts more a girl than a woman. If I wanted to attribute her to a type of person, I could easily say barbarian, but that would demean her. She doesn't go around killing people, she doesn't go around screaming for blood, bones, and spines, she tells me I have storms in my head. I do, it is called the Imperium, it is the greatest storm in my head. That is perceptive, all from the first time we have spoken. She is wise. Thus, I call her girl or woman. She needs refinement, Virathus must find a way to stop her from taking baths in the fountains."

Finnidor Kieryn S. Giordant - Breton Scribe , Junior Medicus | Adored

"Finnidor, your open humanity and lack of cynicism so plaguing my own court and warriors is a welcome addition. Yet you do not detest us. I enjoy you."

Fiachra | Reachman Briarheart | Companion of Milan, Respected

"When one speaks to this briar-heart, they are met with reservation, short answers, and as little as possible given. There is devotion to Milan, guardianship that I recognized. I sought to understand and to harness that guardianship to my advantage. He has sworn that he will swear no oaths beyond that of what he already has. In this case, I could try to compel him, but I will be met with resistance, rather than break and crack apart a man's will. I decided to skirt around the protocols, and list him as a companion to Milan. In this case, he may be tolerated. That is because he was true to his words. He did not give me everything I sought, but through Milan, he will service, through his service, he will produce, and in turn I can tolerate a Reachman's devotion to his charge."

Flavia Äetia - Bucellaria | Oathbound

"Sworn to me in service, duty bound to serve as a sword while I remain in toil to this throne in Spatharia. She had expressed her admiration and trust into my vision. I in turn have rewarded her trust with that of my own. Where I cannot be in person, my trust shall guide her sword, that her actions are done in my name."

Francesca Frey - The Dibellan Bucellaria | Oathbound

"Though she had been gifted to my wife as her champion. In marriage are the services we hold shared. Where I have given Mariana the protections she is entitled, I have taken into service those same protections and instrumented them as swords. In one case, we have a blade that is more gilded among our weapons."

Indahlia Accasia Vantius (Dahlia) - Noblewoman turned Legionary | Respected

"When the Eastern girl migrated to Spatharia to create for herself a home, she was brought to the gates, and made a soldier. It was not by choice, but when duty was thrusted upon her, did she accept the charge all the same. It is why I shall look after her."

Iram Andolinus - Curiae Arcanis (Court Mage) | Untested but insightful

"He has ambitions. I have named him my court mage, because he has insights along with his talents. I have sent him to Grymwich, where he has served his point to offer his services to the 8th Cohort. I wonder what he has accomplished."

Kaecilius Lucius Corin - Legate of the Legion | Loved

"O' Kaecilius, most loyal son of Cyrodiil. Eldest of my veteran warriors and my legacy lacking flesh but bonded thicker than blood.

Lachisi Talthril - Retainer | Pupil?

"She came all the way from her homeland to track down an escaped slave. When she was held in custody, she answered to me with bluffs. This was because she had held to a sense of duty above that of her own life. In that sense, I can afford some respect. I had spoken to this woman multiple times and find her prone to comprehension, quick to to learn, and from her I want to rip out the fallacy of the Tribunal, and teach to her to live a better life."

Lucrezia Cosma - The Diviner & Archivist | Domestici

"When I was able to observe Lucrezia in person, she was more dark in her complexion than what I had expected. She has her beliefs and stands to them. Yet in the face of disagreement, I do believe I can compel her to give obedience. But the grace in Lucrezia is that i do not need to compel her, she remains party to being open in agreements, one does not need to use force, one does not need to settle a matter unpleasantly with her, that is a quality I appreciate more than I would ever show."

Lucius Parthax - Bucellarius | Oathbound

"There is a being in Lucius Parthax that is a broken veteran. One who has lived and felt himself break open in the hot anvils of war. He is ruthless, tears flesh from men, and enjoys haunting the night, and yet in Parthax the war terror is there, thrusted savagely onto the enemy. Let it be so."

Mariana Nautius - Domina | Wife

"After years of courtship we are finally recognized by all as husband and wife. I have taken my time in this relationship, not because you were not worthy, but because I had wondered many times over if it was selfish to seek your hand.I understand that the duty I hold, the vision I seek to achieve has become a chain around my neck. And in a marriage together, to proceed to the next step of our lives shared, would bring that same chain to your neck. And so, it made me hesitate. But our lives are short, I'm constantly reminded of this by everyone around me, and I realize that it doesn't matter. What matters is that I have you with me in this life and in the next."

Marcellus Luseph - Personal Medicus | Reconciled and bonded

"In Marcellus, I find a man who is scared. Fear is not insult for him because he has proven himself to be courageous. It is clear to me that the name Bull-Horn has been one that gives onto him fear. Yet he has done his part to bare with such fear and endure it. For a man who has no martial experience in war, fighting another man to kill, but only involved in the aftermath of such things. One must look to Marcellus and see that within the gentleness of his soul, lies a brave man."

Milan Wyldheart - Bucellarius | Oathman

"The Reachman came to my lands and had been taken originally to hunt for me game. Had I been more of a sporting man, we would have flushed game together. But in the time of scant use, he befriended another and entered into service with them. Yet as I remain on my throne, like the others I recruited into the regiment, he was noticed of having talents. He had served in a capacity in actions to seize contraband and performed well without his blade. He has no formal training under the Imperial legion, but he is still able to fight. In the day and age, where the greatest loss among the resources is that of Manpower. Milan holds a potential to do well, the unconventional means of fighting skill is to be utilized. If we cannot make use of Cyrodiil's vast reserves fully, then we will take what we see, and in Milan I see potential.I have taken this man into my service, given him patronage and protection, and in turn he will give me his loyalty and his skills. An unconventional blade whose lack of training within the Imperial doctrines offers unconventional results."

Nihiryn "Bryn" - "Captain" Agent of the Morag Tong | Enemy of Enemy

"The Captain is of a guild of legally sanctioned assassins in Morrowind. This guild should be disbanded. But the Empire's presence in Morrowind is non-existant, since the olden times of war in the years of the Reman Dynasty. For us in Cyrodiil, for my own person, I've had the cult of the Dark Brotherhood come and pay me a visit. In that regards, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Ortollus Varridius - Bucellarius & Ward | The Adopted Son (Oathbound)

"Ortollus, you are like family to me. Time has made you in our efforts, that of myself and Arrelan, that you are a man. I trust you to accomplish great things."

Octavia Vantius - Pupil | (TBD)

"Intelligent, Perceptive, and able to understand the dual meanings of words. We shall see where you go Miss Vantius."

Praetorius Brutius - Lord of Opsed | Ally and fraternal

"The House of Brutius is one that is filled with its own beliefs that clash with our own. When I first discovered one of their kin, in a backwater within Craglorn, he had faced against me in a skirmish. That skirmish was one that we won. He had used his weapons to throw against my shield, some broken metal. I had given him darts as a gift. Time late, he offered to me teeth as a present. Other times he had suffered delusions, maladies of the mind, and little could be done to help him. He had even confessed to me of heresies that he endured. As a man who seeks to right the wrongs of Cyrodiil, I am left with a hypocrisy in allowing him to liveBut with time that has gone, with my own promise to put him back together, to fix him, to not be as bad as a hand as those who previously mastered over him, I have seen him grow. From that growth, comes loyalty, even in the face of twisted loyalty, there is loyalty. He cannot always justify his actions and he believes himself beyond redemption. But the man has yet to learn, that the work he does, brutal as it is, still has gained him a chance that many would crave, loving children, a wife who adores him, and the least important of them, my esteem. There is a patience that is brought to Praetorius, that I do not have for others, and I consider this man my brother."

Portia Magia - Guarded Legionary | Accepted

"The young woman of the Rim-men. The same people who were pushed out by the fool of Attrebus. She is guarded but loyal, and able to perform well. I quite like her spirit."

Revikus-Adi - First Sword of the Seniores | Brotherly

"Truth be told, I do not spent enough time training with this man, I do not spend enough time, warranting love and affection from him as I would bestow onto him. The tasks I pursue, the vision, he helps me to accomplish what I see. The dream, the restoration, the reunification, and the reconquering of the Empire, bit by bit, is thanks to his service. Ever the model of a man, I could write a book of his deeds and it would only be a piece of my respect for him. In Revikus, I am given my sword, in Revikus, I am given the chance to display that I am able to take more than just Colovians and Nibenese, in Revikus, I am given brotherhood again."

Rhiannon Auclair - Caterva | Agente

"Sworn now in service as a hidden eye, an infiltrator, she had started as a companion of her friend, the legionary. Now she harkens to a more insidious career, but from it, shall we make Iron."

Tyrin Lex - Veteranius among the Cataphracts | Tense on account of being made a widower

"A pity you lost your wife. Though what she had done had been brought to justice." (TBD)

Samatus Fortis - Lord of Fiorentia | Vassal

"The lord of Fiorentia, he wishes to hold my esteem and seek a connection. It is hard to afford connections in the face of the administration of the Empire. But one does not disregard that attempts are made to hold it. He has his opinions and beliefs, on many we agree, on some we clash. But that is the nature of beliefs, not everyone will agree on everything Still, when obedience is demanded it is given."

Sarethi Veren - Master of Goldleaf | Respected

"Of what I can say for Sarethi is that his path is a more noble and happier one. It does not involve the personal strife of war, figurative shackles around a throat on a hellbent mission to restore a dead land. No, Sarehti is free, Sarethi is able to enjoy his life with his partner, with his husband, and I wish him well for it. Our purposes are different, he has a life devoted to the retention and preservation of magical artifacts, denying them to the demons that plague men, mer, and beast alike. In that regards, I can see him as more noble in that he acts to keep the world from destroying itself, one artifact a time. But war is no place for him or his people, I don't wish it upon them, he is sophisticated, able to hold high speech as he remains authentic to himself. I am not face with a liar nor someone wishing to triumph over me. I am facing a man who wants to enjoy his golden years. May he prosper for it."

Sertorix Varo - Maran Priest | Guest

"Varo is a preist of Mara. In my quest to obtain the churches' recognition of my rule and my claims, they do not align with me publicly. That is a wise move made by the church officials in this war. But, through Sertorix, I have gained limited recognition and acknowledgement. That is a step to build upon and capitalize from later. I see from Sertorix an administrator more than a priest. Still, he serves a purpose."

Silveni Ramarys - Rat-Girl | Acquaintance

"When I found her in Magnolia House, I had not expected to see someone so skittish in my presence. In this sense I find her a rat. But rats are not always to be regarded as vermin. They are intelligent creatures, they are filthy, intelligent, and skittish. Silveni is both intelligent and skittish in my presence, when she championed the cause of Tsyokawa during a discussion."

Valethyne Feldren - Falliable "Sister" | Protected

"By the gods, you're the person I've known the longest that is still in my life. I can't believe it Vale. I came in as a younger man trying to set you up with another and it worked, for you then and I to be close family. Then I feel like I've got a dark skinned boy as an heir of legacy. For a long time I have held his death against you.For though he wasn't mine, I was willing to raise him as my own. The grudge of old is gone and I see you as still my sister. I don't like the idea of losing you nor do I want any other man to get in your pants again. You keep getting the wrong kind of men and as your brother I will do everything in my power to keep you safe."

Varus Albuttian - Palatina Seniore | Adored

"Varus comes from the original ranks of Crosswych, this Imperial soldier had been earlier then most, and he followed me from the betrayals of the past, to the future that we hold. It is not longer for the Empire for him, but for me, and in turn, this man will always be held in my esteem."

Vasia Sun-Wave - Leigonary | Stray

"Legioanry Sun-Wave, was found along the roads, and placed into service. I don't know her well but I'll credit her as brave."

Virathus Daemones - Prefect of Bovem | Trusted

"The man served ably as the vicarius of Spatharia in my absence. Now to reward him from such stresses, I have given him reprieve, he is now the Prefect of Bovem, a task monumental but infinitely more merciful in the stresses that come beside it."

Arrelan Rumen Varridius - Former Centurion of the 3rd Cohort, Dux of Hosul (Vassal) | Trusted

"Came to my doorstep shouting to me glory to Decentius as you left. Came again and became the tamer of the butchers. Left to become a grandmaster but still maintains the loyalty to the imperial state. Grace and Glory is what you'll be "

Aurelia asina - Battle-Mage | Amused

"A young bumbling woman that i had admitted into Spatharia by my own decree personally. She is kind, sweet, and too quick to rush into life's challenges. Though i see in her a desire for affection to be returned. she gave it to the wrong man. And when we sat away from the walls of dragonstar, i saw it returned by Odhran of the bull-horn. She kissed but sat on his lap. I shall remember her as the lap sitter."

Caius Lavinius - Legionary, courtier, Right-hand man | Respected

"You're a realist, never one to dance around in actions. You do what you're told and we get things done. I can rely upon you to accomplish things and when you do them, all of Cyrodiil rejoices."

Caterina Aionos - Retired Centurion of the 8th cohort, Courtier | Respected

"You came into responsibility in a difficult time to manage. A coup, a blow to which I could not shield, but you could. You did your best, for that I am grateful."

Casephona Aionos - Imperial Scribe | Paternally Protective of

"Too young to be fighting. Far to young."

Cornelia Calpurnius - Praefect , 5th Legion (Spatharia) | Neutral

"The woman is a logistician. Such a trait to have let alone an appellation makes her competent. "

Decortius Decurio - Prior of Veylin | Appreciated

"His own spirituality is admirable as is his desire to not be a burden to us. If he shared more of his pains. He would be endearing."

Eira of Nothing - Nord Seer | Amused

"Shy, vulnerable, and utterly beholden to us because of some Centurion in the army. The girl follows us around and fails to lie to save face. When I heard of her attachment to that man, I found it funny. I am grateful to her for helping me when the horse had come."

Eris Blackthorn - Reach Witch | Bonded

"The Reach Witch came to me, looking to serve for protection. She wants to persist in a world that would see her kind snuffed out. She promises to serve, to even pit herself my slave. But I have no need of slaves. Slaves are chattel. I need people that will do well in my name.It is obvious to me, that the past relationships she had made prior to I, that they accepted her as beneath them. The Empire builds people up, I will build her up. I will give her the safety she seeks, and she will grow under the shadow of the sun."

Eva Bishop - Breton Noblewoman | Neutral

"I tried to offer her safety in avoiding her services to me. I tried to send the woman home. A breton countess has no place within the Empire of Iron. I am glad I was wrong."

Flavia Äetia - Mercenary | Receptive

"Young Äetia is the last of her line. She is brave, resourceful, and intelligent. She did not want to give me her loyalty at first, but to offer it for a price. I hope I have earned it."

Francesca Frey - Dibellan Knight | Warmed

"The girl came to us at the inn, speaking with others without trouble. She was at ease and saved Mariana's life. At first I found her with suspicion for being a devotee of dibella. She told me of the Cybil in the east and it infuriated me. But she has protected Mariana with her life, so I find myself warmed to her. I am grateful."

Iram Andolinus - Mage | Accepted

"Iram is ambitious. If his ambitions can be harnessed for the Empire's benefits. Then we are all the more fortunate. His goals while admirable, are hard to obtain."

Lambert Arctus - Mercenary | Respected

"I will never like a mercenary. A paid soldier to fight for his own self-interest brings a rage in me unlike no other. But Lambert, I cannot say I dislike you. You have never proven yourself a problem to me and have done everything I have asked. That alone is enough for me to say you have my respect."

Luca Castodes Venatorus - Retainer of House Daemones | Professional

"Luca is a prize. His service to Virathus is coveted. I wish I had more Luca's for myself around."

Lucianna Viotara Lonusiso - Legionary of the Noble blood | Respected

"When we first met, the idea of House Lonusiso sounded vague. But when it came to your entry into my service, you took yourself as a warrior without demanding rank or notation. That's a vindication of purity."

Lucius Parthax - Bucellarian | Pitied

"A bumbling fool, broken by the desert. Yagahai is the graveyard of the Legion. Time spent in Spatharia has been used to give you a taste of life outside the war. Now, it is time to fix the broken thing, and remove the corrosion of his strength. He will be Iron."

Mariana Nautius - Domina | Lover

"Mariana you are my love. Nothing will ever change that. Flaws and blemishes upon all. I still and shall always be in love with you. I never thought I'd find love. I didn't expect it with you of all people either. But you weathered my storms with me, bore through with me at my nadir.You comforted me, waited for me, and put yourself out there for me. Now my sun rises and I can't see it without you there. If I ever give up on this dream of mine, of rebuilding our home, spending the rest my days in exile. It wouldn't be such a bitter pill with you there."

Nahd Virixashi - Legionary | Loyal Ronin

"Nahd. The boy who's mouth changed from politeness, to arrogance, and then to respect. A young man of Hakoshae who came to us as us a convict from a crime of passion. But one that's story is similar to those who come to my banner.He has fought, he has bled, and he has been a a man to be invested in. The investment of time and resources to help him with his past, paid off. It was a gamble worth the risk. I have gained his loyalty and through his loyalty a warrior whose skill with a blade is unparalleled. He is worth his price and worth the loyalty. I only won because I punched him in the stomach. "

Odhran Bull-Horn Reachman | Disciple?

"Odhran, you are a project to me. Can I influence you to not be a blood thirsty butcher? Can you transcend your barriers and be among the normal men?"

Ortollus Varridius - Ward | Paternally Protective of

"Ortollus... You are the son I never had. Where Arrelan gives his time to his course and war. I find myself having you as my ward and ultimately a legacy without the flesh and blood. I look at you and I see the next generation that will pick up where mine leave off. When we go hunting together, when we talk, I'm often reminded of my days of hope. I'm often reminded of my earlier days where I was not the man in charge but the one who gave voluntary ideas.I laugh at this but with fondness. If I were to pick Arrelan's successor. It is you I want in his seat."

Rhiannon Auclair - Domestici | Empathetic

"Poor girl. Blamed for much. Holds to herself. I was made aware of how little she has. She is attached to the brute. When I had taken it upon myself to inform her of his death. I had been reminded that I send men to their deaths. I do not know her well. All I know is that by the lack of a smile, she has a hard life. That is something I can understand. "

Silas Frostfang - Reachman | Efficient & Reliable

"In affairs I am unacquainted with, such as those of the Reach, I need those who are acquainted to act on my behalf. He has acted on my behalf, and he has acted well. I can enjoy a cigar with him as well."

Ulrik Dragonsbane - Champion of the Seniores | Cherished

"There had been a time where I ordered you to hack apart a young man, for what he had done. It was no easy work, the flock of men that had joined you, were sickened by it. I know it was no easy feat, but you had shown yourself willing, loyal, and competent in fighting."

Vanitus Pullo - Decurion of the 2nd Cataphract | Respected

"Vanitus, you came in when I was dying! A plague befell my camp at Gratian and there you were with your horsearchers. Pledging yourself, fighting with us, and holding the line. When I am hit and reminded of shattering instance of loss, you are there to restore my confidence. And now you are here as a valued man at my war-council. I will be party to watching your lance bore your way through any wall barring us."

Virathus Daemones - Vicar | Trusted

"Virathus is no one here in Spatharia. Apart from his piety, he has good judgment. I have picked him as he is detached from the complexities of the Empire. He is capable of good judgement and should prove sound of mind. With him, I am no longer bound to sit on a throne or stare at documents. I can act again."

Long-term stories

I enjoy this. This is my favorite type of connection to build with other characters and Volund. Reach out and we'll work on something together.

Character connections

Based on the hooks provided or any you can think of, I'm open to it. Having characters interact and build together or off of eachother is a great thing to witness in rp.

Dark themes

I roleplay this a lot, peculiarly gritty realism and violence.

Adult themes

Open to the adult related roleplay. Provided there's communication.

Hard No

Not open to erotic roleplay, not open to mutiliation, character death, or casual style tavern roleplay.Nor am I open to metagaming, powergaming, and bleeding in rp either.
