Mr. Courage


Lived in Era 30, got 0 heir(s) and was a member of Silicon Knights

Courage Stronghold first came into the history books in the era of the Lenard Knight (Era 30). He was elected the leader of a raged group of runaways from a kingdom of oppressive rulers. He lead them to a small field not far from two other cites and settled and soon started to build a strong economy and army. The city they Refugees founded that day was know as Crystal. Crystal had been the fiancé of Courage and had been killed crimes against the oppressive rulers they had left. She was of course innocent but they need someone to make an example out of, and with a show of true heartlessness they hung her from a tree right in the yard of Crystal and Courage's home and left her there till she routed and refused to let anyone take down her body. That was the last straw for Courage and about one thousand other citizens and some five thousand military men couldn't stand it anymore. They planed for three months and finally the night arrived and they made good on there plans. Although they had been careful one of the members of the runaways had betrayed them for a promise of power. What he really got was the hangman's noose. They were met at the city gates by ten thousand of the best knights of the kingdom the few swordsmen and citizens fought valiantly but most were killed in the battle. Those that escaped the massacre were few in number only five hundred citizens and three hundred swordsmen. They hid in the mountains for a fortnight and went down to the field that they latter settled. In the mountains they elected Courage there leader, as well as giving him that name for the bravery of which he fought he had not yet been given the name Stronghold. Courage led his people (they considered themselves to be his people because it was him that had done most of the planning for the escape) to greatness and the founding of four other cities; Verix IV, Gloria, and Freedoms Reach. Each city was prosperous and gave the economy a boost. But this time was not with out its fair share of problems. Although they joined an alliance of kingdoms called the Silicon Knights SILK for short which gave them great military protection they suffered from wars between alliances. The first war took place far to the south of the four cities of Courage's kingdom but the second attack came from the north which put the war almost on the door steps of the cities. By this time the city of Crystal had grow to amazing size from the support of the other cites. Crystal was the largest city in the area called the Core by SILK. This lead the attacking alliance of kingdoms to focus on taking Crystal before attacking the other cities in the area. Courage prepared for the worst, tripling the army living in the city as well as pulling all the troops he could from the other cities to protect Crystal which had the best chance of surviving the economic struggles the war would leave them with. The attacking force still out numbered the defenders of Crystal and victory seemed like a pipe dream unless they turned sides, but Courage refused and said that the alliance they had joined had helped before so they would stay with SILK to the end. This is the time he earned the title of Stronghold, because of the quick planning and preparation they were able to last until the end of the thirtith era. At the end of the era a peace agreement was reached by all remaining alliances and the city of Crystal while sustaining heavy damage was able to survive and its people still live.
