Family History

Mr. Tiber Septim

Lived in Era 26, got 1 heir(s) (Calus Septim) and was a member of Templar Crusaders
This story is not about the life of Tiber Septim, but the Legend. He is one of the bravest soldiers to ever walk the battlefield, he has sustained wounds that would kill a lesser man, but he shrugs it off and goes to his men's aid. He has saved the lives of countless men with his quick thinking and Legendary leadership. He is a true Hero.

Long ago when Tiber was young he joined the Imperial Legion and was under the command of General Pental, he took part in a great battle. There mission was to take a heavily guarded fortress named Aleno Yar. Tiber was a fresh recruit but alread an able swordsmen. He was put in command of fifty of the ten-thousand troops under General Pental. His orders were to take out a small fort nearby, the fort contained fifty catalpults and one hundred men and the battle's success rested upon that fort. Tiber took a covert approach and they snuck through a hole in the rear of the fort and lit the catapults on fire. While the enemy was distracted trying to put out the fires the Septim soldiers slaughtered the enemy. Not one man was lost on Tiber's, 100 were lost on the enemies' side.
General Pental decided to promote Tiber to Captain for his bravery and gave him command of fifty more men. It wasn't long until another battle took place...this time it was not far from the capital city of Cidel...
Enemy forces approached and Tiber and his men were in charge of the cities' defence. The Emperor had all of his Generals away on foreign missions and did not forsee an attack.
The sky shone crimson on that day meaning a bloody battle was about to take place. Tiber Septim and his hundred men stood outside the city gates while the city watch where perched upon the city walls, bows ready. All was silent, not a single noise pierced the steel wall of silence.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the roars of catapults and massive siege engines. One-thousand men walked alongside them.
Men roared and clashed as the battle erupted around them. Tiber slashed and hacked his way through countless men, trying to make his way towards thier commander. If the commander was defeated the odds would change very quickly.
Then, Tiber saw him, clad in silver armor, armed a massive great sword, wearing a silver mask. Tiber charged and swung his sword, the commander blocked and swung at Tiber, barely missing his neck. Tiber lunged at his chest and the enemy commander dodged and swung his sword, Tiber blocked but his sword flew from his grasp by the power of his swing. The commander swung his sword down to give a finishing blow but Tiber rolled sideways and picked up a fallen soldier's spear. Tiber got up and dodged the enemy commander's next swing and pierced his heart with the spear.
Tiber looked around and saw that only fifty of his men remained. He ordered them to retreat to the gates and to defend there. The enemies looked and saw there leader with a spear sticking out of his heart. Some ran away, some mourned there leader, few attacked. With the help of the City Watchmen's arrows Tiber won the battle.
When Tiber approached the fallen commander and removed his mask. To Tiber's supprise, it was the enemy Emperor, Cidel had won...for now.

For his heroism at the battle of Cidel, Tiber Septim was granted the rank of General and was given 5000 men to command and lead through battle. His conquests ranged from one end of the world to the other, he was loved by his men and feared by his enemies.

One day Tiber was assigned to take an enemy stronghold, not a hard task as it was a small stronghold guarded by only a couple hundred soldiers, so they decided to just charge the thing and get it over with. What a big mistake that was, as they charged they saw that it was not a human guard, it was demons.
Demons who could crack a skull with the flick of a wrist, they could jump ten feet in the air and fire an arrow at the height of the jump, and they could sustain ten spears to the back and still crush a skull. Tiber couldnt issue orders in time, the battle had begun!
Tiber joined the battle and slashed at a demon who turned and faced Tiber. "YOU DARE FACE ME HUMAN, DIE SCUM!" The demon swung and Tiber blocked and the Demon blade slashed through Tiber's sword like butter. The demon raised his sword and slashed it through Tiber's neck. "Pathetic human", he muttered as he walked away...

Tiber awoke three days later in a small room. The doctor saw he was awake and screamed in terror. "ZOMBIE", he said as he ran in utter terror. Tiber looked around, it wasn't a hospital, it was a Morgue...Tiber felt around his neck as he remembered the battle, the utter screams of his falling men, and the Demon. Anger boiled in the pit of his stomache, he will slay that demon...one day.
A soldier entered the room with a pike. "You're no zombie, but how in the gods name did you survive, no matter, the general will want to see you."
He walked through the camp and looked at the startled faces gazing at him. "Zombie", one muttered. He reached the General's tent and entered. He saw that the General was General Pental.
"Have a seat, Septim", said Pental. "Four-thousand men are dead Septim, thanks to your foolish action, four-thousand men are dead."
"General, I didn't know they were demons, i thought they were guards", Tiber whispered with strain due to his neck injury.
"Did I teach you nothing, or did it not go through to you, analyze the situation, then strike", said Pental
"What has happened to the enemies' fort said Tiber
"I took over the situation and went there, but by the time I arrived they had all abandoned the fort", said Pental
"Sir...I resign my commision as General", said Tiber
"No Septim, we have an even worse punishment for you..."

two weeks later
Tiber was taken to have an sentancing by the Emperor himself.
"Tiber Septim, your punishment for your misjudgement leading to the loss of human life is banishment from the Empire and all of its provinces, you are to be taken to a foreign land with your twenty-five surviving soldiers and left there, to die or to live..."

Three months later Tiber Septim landed on a foreign island and was stranded there, Tiber approached a village of one thousand native people


The End?



Journal of Tiber Septim

I have acquired a large blank book I will use as a journal of my days events. I am hoping that after my passing people will discover this book and see how I was from my point of view. Maybe somebody will understand my life for what it was, not what the believe it was. And so it is that gaze upon the walls of this study and write this journal.


Journal Day 1049, Era 26
Today I sent a group of soldiers and a small settling party to the river a few miles away. Upon there arrival they saw a beutiful place for a city, they named it Pelagius City, after my son Pelagius Septim. I wish to visit it tommorow and maybe I will make my son the Mayor of Pelagius City. My son will make a fine ruler some day. My other son, Calus has been arrested for being in a bar brawl, I better go get him out.

Journal Day 1066, Era 26
I have been a bit too busy to write in my journal for the past seventeen days. My plans were halted by the destruction of the Septim First army. I have decided on sending my son and a group of fifty soldiers to clear out some a goblin encampment nearby, my son needs the esperiance after all. If I could clear out and enemy fortress with fifty soldiers, hopefuly Pelagius can clear out fifteen goblins in an undefended camp.

Journal Day 1069, Era 26
Three days I have suffered, three days I have mourned, and three days I have wondered...what I did wrong. My son Pelagius is dead, not from the Goblins, but from mercenaries. My son and his platoon arrived at the goblin encampment to find them all dead, they didn't know what to think so they decided to head home, and a company of three-hundred mercenaries met them on the way back...and slaughtered them, on man made it back, a swordsmen who ran when he saw my son fall, I made the soldier a knight and charged him and one-thousand men with destroying the mercenaries. I do not yet know if they were successful. My other son Calus Septim is next in line for the throne, I dearly hope he will get his act together.

Journal Day 1070, Era 26
Calus was arrested again for assaulting a guard, I really did'nt want to bail him out this time but he's my son and I really do hope he'll change, he is drinking heavily now, heavier than he used to because of the loss of his brother, but I wont give up hope that he'll change. If he doesn't then...nobody will be able to take the throne after my death.

Journal Day 1073, Era 26
A man walked by my estate today shouting "The end is near" or something but now im not so sure, the skies are changing and I am wondering if he was right. Calus has become resentful of me and is getting into many fights, I hope he doesn't get into too much trouble.

Journal Day 1074, Era 26
A miraculous thing happened today, Calus was captured by bandits, I know it doesn't sound miraculous but I went to save him myself. And after I was done with them my son called me one of the greatest swordsmen he'd ever seen, he apologized for all of the crimes he had commited and promised to act like a future ruler from here on. I have also recreated The Septim First Army, destroyed by the forces of Messiah. I hope they will prove better than the old one.

Journal Day 1075, Era 26
I visited the grave of my wife today. Oh how I miss her, Dear Solina Septim. She was killed by a still unknown Virus. I plan on teaching Calus the basics of ruling for a while so I may be unable to write for a few days.

Journal Day 1085, Era 26
For ten days I have not Written in this Journal. I've been to busy teaching my son how to rule my Empire. I have also been teaching him to swordfight. He's pretty good. Pelagius would have been proud of his brother.

Journal Day 1096, Era 26
I can no longer ignore the signs, The end of the world is upon us, ive ordered the construction of a shelter to protect the future of my small empire. The skies are growing redder with every passing day. I hope I have not been too late.

Journal Day 1097, Era 26
It is underway and yet, I still do not think I will live through this. Calus will be a fine ruler should I die. I'll be happy to see my wife again.

Journal Day 1101, Era 26
The skies are red and soon fire will be raining from the heavens. The end of the world is still impossible to believe. The shelter is moving along nicely and soon it will be completed.

Journal Day 1114, Era 26
I took back Hysteria and Mewhos from Music and Zeon. Music looks like its going to counter attack but Zeon looks like it's busy. All of this doesn't matter though...not any more.

Journal Day 1115, Era 26
I found an orphan on the streets today, and I decided to take him in. His name is Charlie. He is sixteen years old and seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

Journal Day 1118, Era 26
The gods have abandoned us, nothing grows, no rocks will budge from the earth, and the trees have crumbled to dust. The shelter was almost finished, but it crumbled with everything in it. Hope is lost.

Journal Day 1123, Era 26
Charlie has extraordinary leadership skills and is pretty good with a blade for his youth. If things had been different then maybe he could have been a General. So be it.

Journal 1124, Era 26
The grass around the city has died. I have a large stockpile of food for all my cities though. So few will die. Nothing matters anymore. All hope is lost.

Journal 1130, Era 26
Hope is back! My scouts have found a small cave in the mountains. Large enough for one person. My Empires future is brighter than the skies above!

Journal Day 1135, Era 26
One person, my son. I only hope I have taught him enough. Charlie is a good lad. I only wish I could of known him long.

Journal Day 1137, Era 26
My mages forsee that there are only twenty-two more days left in this world. It is not the end that is bugging me, it is the suffering. The waiting is unbearable.

Journal Day 1158, Era 26
My son and I are heading to the shelter, I have not told him that I wont be joining him. Two more days now.

Journal Day 1159, Era 26
I knocked my son out and threw him in the cave, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed. It started as soon as I got back to Septim City. Fire flying from the sky, washing over the lands it approaches the city. A magnificent sight.

As Tiber stood atop a tower of his Castle, looking over the lands. A voice sounded behind him.
"Long time no see Tiber."
Tiber turned around and saw General Pental standing there.
"I thought I was done with you", said Tiber
"Not quite, the Emperor now wants you dead, but now that I see the inferno approaching, I know we are both going to die", said Pental.
"Thank you for pointing out the obvious, anything else", said Tiber
"How about a swordfight, for old times sake", said Pental
"Yes, im going to enjoy this", said Tiber
Tiber pulled out his blade, Pental pulled out his. Tiber charged and choped down at Pental, but Pental blocked. Pental swung at Tiber's neck but Tiber dodged. Pental kicked Tiber to the ground and held the sword at his neck.
"Goodbye Tiber."
"Not quite"
Tiber rolled from under the sword with amazing speed, jumped up, and kicked Pental. Pental fell to the edge of the tower and got up.
"You can't beat me Tiber."
The tower shook and Pental stumbled and fell. Tiber ran to the edge to see that the inferno was washing over the city, and Pental fell right into in.
"Goodbye Pental", said Tiber
"My time in this life, this world, is over." said Tiber as the fire rose over the tower.

Sir Calus Septim

Lived in Era 27, got 1 heir(s) (Pelagius Septim II) and was a member of Templar Crusaders
This is the story of Calus Septim, born to Tiber and Solina Septim during the 26th era. He was the yournger of two children and he was the ruler of the Septim Empire during the 27th Era. This is his story.

Born to Tiber and Solina Septim during the 26th Era, his mother died during his childhood. He became an alcohalic and got into many barfights and streetfights. On 1066 of the 26th Era his older brother, Pelagius Septim, died in battle against mercenaries. Calus blamed Tiber for his brother's death, making him resentful of his father. One day Calus was captured by bandits and his father rescued him. Upon seeing him fight he realized that if his father couldn't have rescued Pelagius, nobody could.
Calus quit drinking and started learning to become the ruler of his father's Empire. Until Armageddon started. On that day he thought he was going to die. But his father saved him again, sacrificing himself to save Calus, and the future of the Septim Empire.
Calus awoke in the cave and saw that the forrest was burning. He ran to the old site of the Septim City. And found nothing. Calus found all the survivors he could and started rebuilding his father's Empire.
Calus was soon married to Kyraria Julios, who became Kyraria Septim. Calus had two children, one of them being a boy named Pelagius, named after his brother. The other was a girl named Kytara.
Calus groomed Pelagius to be the future ruler of his Empire as his father did to him. Pelagius demonstrated great potential as a leader, and made Calus a very proud father.
Kytara turned out to be a great scientist, discovering cures to many different plagues. Her mother, Kyraria, was not interested in science, but she loved her none the less.

Sir Pelagius Septim II

Lived in Era 27, got 1 heir(s) (Tiber Septim II) and was a member of Templar Crusaders
Pelagius Septim II was the son of Calus and Kyraria Sepim. Pelagius married Adella Dibellus who became Adella Septim. He had one son named Tiber, named after his great-grandfather. Calus Septim was killed in the Battle of Septim City by archers thus making Pelagius the ruler of his father's Empire.

Pelagius Septim II sat in the war room of the Septim Castle. Three other people sat around the table: Calus Septim, Captain Anochus, and a battle-hardened General.

"We need to close the gates, troops can be seen over the horizon",said the General.
"No no no, closing the gates would ruin the morale of our citizens", said Anochus.
"Where the hell did you get your tactical training from, keeping them open would mean enemies puring through", said the General.
"Silence! we will close the gates, this meeting is over", said Calus.

After the meeting Pelagius left to the armory. When he got there he picked up his set of steel armor and put it on. He then walked down to the gates. Five-hundred men stood in front of the gates, the other five-hundred stood on the walls around the city.

Calus stood atop the wall wondering where the General was. He dismisses the thought as he sees the gates start to open.
"What in Akatosh's name is going on", he said as he ran to the gatehouse.

Meanwhile, Pelagius sees enemies start to pour through the gate. He wonders why they opened, shrugs, and charges into the battle. He slashes one across the chest, swings around and decapitates another.
"This is going to be a long fight", thought Pelagius as he continued fighting.

Calus bursts into the gatehouse to find Anochus smashing the lever.
"What the hell are you doing", asked Calus
"My duty", said Anochus
"To whom", asked Calus
"My client", said Anochus as he drew his sword.
Calus drew his sword and charged Anochus. Anochus blocked and slashed at Calus' legs, but Calus jumped over the blade and stabed at Anochus' heart. Anochus parried and slashed at Calus' throat. Calus jumped backwards and awaited Anochus' next attack.

Pelagius cut another poor soldier's head off.
"Retreat", cried a Septim soldier.
Pelagius looked around and saw many dead soldiers, Septim soldiers, and understood. Pelagius ran with them.

Calus blocked another of Anochus' blows and slashed at him. Anochus was too slow and it cut his chest.
"Just a scratch", said Anochus as he lunged at Calus. Calus blocked his attack and cut him again. This time on the neck. Anochus fell to the ground holding his throat.
"My client...will be most...displeased", whispered Anochus as he died.
Calus walked over to the gear mechanism and examined it, but Anochus sabotaged it beyond repair. Calus cursed and walked out.

Pelagius ran with the remaining soldiers to the castle. Once inside they shut the gates.
"Where's Kytara", he asked a guard.
"In the war room", said the guard.
Pelagius ran to the war room and opened the door to see his mother and sister.
"We have to go, we shut the gates but they won't last long", said Pelagius.
"Thank Stendarr your alive, let's go", said Kyraria
Pelagius took his mother and sister and ran to the front of the castle. Pelagius' friend, Garius Hasildor, waited for them at the stairs.

"Been wondering when you would show up, after you", said Garius

Calus ran along the walls towards the castle. He prayed that his family was alright. He saw a few enemies climbing ladders to the walls so he kicked the ladder down and continued on.


"All of you soldiers, follow me, there is a secret way out of the castle that I know of", said Pelagius
"Yes sir", they all said
Calus arrived at the gates.
"Wait for me", said Calus Septim
"Father? Alright! Let's go", said Pelagius
While the Septims and the guards started running, the enemies broke through the wall. One of the soldiers aimed his bow and shot Calus right through the back. Calus fell to the ground. Pelagius turned and ran to his father.
"Run you fool, and...take care of your mother for me", said Calus. Pelagius obeyed and ran from his doomed father.
Pelagius ran to the tunnel entrance waited until all of the people were inside, and jumped through. They walked through the tunnel for several miles until it ended, right under New London.

They stayed in New London for a while, then continued south, to Drakow , where they went east to a small river, after crossing the river they build a small town to try and continue their shattered lives.
Soon, Pelagius fell in love with a lady by the name of Adella Dibellus, whom he soon married. They had one child by the name of Tiber, after Pelagius' grandfather.
Tiber Septim II demonstrated good leadership ability and he was also very good with blades, maces, and bows. Pelagius was very proud of him.
Kytara also found somebody she loved, Garius Hasildor, Pelagius' best friend and Steward. Soon Kytara married Garius and became Kytara Hasildor. And had a child by the name of Caius Hasildor.
Pelagius enjoyed taking walks in the forrest, helped him think, but one day his peace was interupted.

Pelagius treaded on the dirt path of the forrest and stopped.
"Quiet, a bit too quiet", he thought to himself.
He dismissed the thought as he continued onward. Suddenly, an arrow flew down and barely misses his head. Pelagius jumped behind a tree and drew his sword. He peeked around it. One assassin, clad in black clothing, with a black scarf around his neck, was perched upon the tree.
Pelagius returned his head to the cover of the tree and thought up a plan. He was a long three miles from his city so no backup was available. Suddenly, two more assassins jumped around the tree with Scimitars. Pelagius blocked a slash from one while drawing his dirk. The other slashed and Pelagius rolled from his blow, out from the cover of the tree. The bowman shot an arrow that missed by a few inches.
Pelagius blocked another slash from one of the assassins and stabed him in the chest with his dirk. The assassin fell to the floor and the other jumped over his body and brought down his sword. Pelagius rolled backwards and dodged the blow. The bowman shot another arrow and it hit the ground.
The other assassin charged Pelagius and stroke with the force of two men. Pelagius blocked the blow and slashed his right arm with the dirk. The assassin put his sword in his other hand and kept on attacking.
Another arrow was shot from the bowman and it hit the dieing assassin. Pelagius continued to fight the injured one.
"My client wants not only you dead, but your whole family", said the assassin as they fought.
"Who is your client?", asked Pelagius.
The assassin ignored the question. The assassin attacked but missed. Pelagius seized the chance and cut his head off. Pelagius jumped out of the way of a newly fired arrow from the bowman.
Pelagius moved closer and closer to the bowman, hiding behind trees as he fired arrows. When Pelagius got close enough he threw his dirk at him. It hit him in the chest and the assassin fell from the tree. Pelagius walked over to the assassin and saw that he had hit him in the heart.
"No information from this one, better head home", thought Pelagius.
Upon returning to his city, Pelagius told his family of the assassin's attack, and his words.
"Who would want us dead, we have made no enemies", said Garius.
"Maybe one of the neighboring cities", said Tiber
"No, they have bigger fish right now", said Kytara
"Carnage?" asked Caius
"No, we're too far away from them, and all they wanted was our old city", said Garius.
"I'm not sure, but we better keep our eyes open", said Pelagius.

The Septim family remained on constant guard, absolute vigilance was practiced. Two years passed and some of the family got restless, Tiber went on a walk in the woods with two of his friends, Roderick and Nicholas. An arrow flew from the shadow of a tree and hit Nicholas in the neck. Tiber and Roderick ran and hid behind a tree. Ten assassins came out of the darkness and surrounded Tiber and Roderick.
"Prepare to die bo-" said an assassin as an arrow hit him in the neck.
Fifty Septim archers marched in, killing almost all of the assassins. They moved aside and Pelagius Septim II strided up.
"Leave some alive, we might want a bit of information out of them", said Pelagius.
But it was too late, the remaining assassins commited suicide by driving daggers into their chese. Pelagius walked up to Tiber.
"What you just did was stuiped, a man is dead now because of you", said Pelagius.
"I am sorry father, I was getting restless", said Tiber
"RESTLESS, RESTLESS! After what happened to me I would have thought you would put a little more consideration into your actions!", said Pelagius.
Tiber opened his mouth to speak but Pelagius cut him off.
"Not another word, we're going home", said Pelagius.
One of the archers stopped to pick up Nicholas' body and continued to follow Pelagius. Not a word was spoken until they got to the Septim Castle.
"Place the body in the Mortuary, a funeral is to be held two days from now", said Pelagius to the archer.
"Yes Sir", said the archer.
"Tiber, I hope you realize the consequences of your actions tonight, you are the future ruler of my Empire, and you must have good judgment in order to rule", said Pelagius
"Yes father", said Tiber
"Away with you then, I must speak to your mother about this incident", said Pelagius
Tiber ran off to bed and Pelagius went over to his room, where Adella was sleeping. He woke her up and relayed the night's events to her. She told him not to go hard on him and Pelagius agreed, he then let himself fall to sleep.

After Nicholas' funeral Pelagius couldn't find out who sent the assassins, as no more came. He slowly forgot the ordeal and went back to his normal duties.

Soon Pelagius and Adella had another son, whom they named Salius Septim. He was a good leader as all of his family was, but he was a godly warrior. He could defeat twenty Septim knights without gaining a scratch. Many thought him to be a God.
One day Tiber met a woman by the name of Angelus Tallius, whom he loved with all of his heart, as she loved him. Soon they got married, and Pelagius was very proud.
A few years later Pelagius' mother, Kyraria, died of old age. It was a sad day for the Septim family and especially Pelagius, who fell into a year long depression following her death. But when his grandchildren were born he recieved a renewed sense of happiness.
Tiber and Angelus had a son, whom they named Cephorus, and a daughter, whom they named Alessia. They were both good leaders and good warriors. Cephorus was good with his sword. Alessia was good with her bow.
Salius taught Cephorus many good dueling techniques, and Kytara taught Alessia how to use a bow. Alessia also learned how to use short blades such as dirks and daggers effectively.
Salius also found someone he loved, Vaermina Talia, who became Vaermina Septim. Salius and Vaermina had a child a few years later, Calus Septim II. Calus wasn't a naturally talented leader as most of the Septims where but he learned, but he was a hell of a swordsman. He was as strong as his father and twice as fast in his prime.
Caius Hasildor found somebody he loved, Isabella Yelesia, who became Isabella Hasildor. They had one child, Marius Hasildor. He was not a charismatic leader and held no interest in swordfighting, Marius was interested in the arcane arts. He was a talented mage and knew many spells and languages including the languages of Elves, Dwarves, Ogres, Trolls, Halflings, Demons, and of course Humans.
One day, while out on a walk, a man approached Tiber. He had many scars on his face and had white hair.
"Hello Tiber", he said
"Hello", said Tiber
"My name is General Zarrock, I was a friend of your grandfather.
"What? You must be mistaken", said Tiber
"Mistakes are something I don't make many of", said Zarrock
"Alright, I'll give you the benifit of the doubt, what do you want with me", said Tiber.
"Ahhh, it is not you I want, it is Pelagius", said Zarrock.
"Alright, I'll bring you to him, but you can't bring any weapons into the castle, got it?" said Tiber
"Yes, I understand", said Zarrock.
Tiber took Zarrock to Pelagius, and Pelagius didn't recognize him.
"Well, you may remember the invasion of Septim City", said Zarrock
"Yes, of course I do", said Pelagius
"Well, I was the General in charge of Septim forces", said Zarrock.
"I remember now, you were on the war council, nobody could find you during the battle, what happened", said Pelagius
"The tratior, Anochus, took me hostage and gave me to the enemies, it has taken me all this time to escape", said Zarrock
"Well, I'll give you everythi-" Pelagius was cut off by the sudden entrance of a soldier.
"Sir, enemies are invading, overwealming us."
"We need to escape, gather up my family and follow me", said Pelagius.
After they got together they all left towards the back of the castle. Right before leaving Pelagius was shot in the back with a fireball. His body disinigrated.
Nothing was left. But he will always be remembered as a hero, a leader, and a great man.

Sir Tiber Septim II

Lived in Era 27, got 1 heir(s) (Cephorus Septim) and was a member of Templar Crusaders
This is the story of Tiber Septim II, son of Pelagius Septim II and Adella Septim. He had one brother named Salius Septim and two children. One was a boy named Cephorus Septim, and the other was a girl named Alessia Septim. This is the story of Tiber Septim II.

Tiber sat at a table in the Septim Castle where General Falus Zarrock was meeting with his father, Pelagius Septim II. After a short conversation between the two a Septim guard ran into the room.
"SIr, enemies are invading, overwealming us", said the guard.
"We need to escape, gather up my family and follow me", said Pelagius.
Zarrock, Pelagius, and Tiber arose from their seats.
"Tell them to meet us in the entrance hall", said Pelagius.
After the guard left Tiber walked in the direction of the entrance hall.
"Tiber, not that way, we need to arm ourselves, Zarrock, can you still use a sword?" asked Pelagius.
"I may look old but I will always be able to defend myself", said Zarrock.
"Let's go", said Pelagius.
The trio ran up the stairs to the armory and armed themselves. Tiber grabed a longsword for himself, a bow for Alessia, and a Claymore for Salius. Pelagius picked up a shortsword and a dirk for himself, a Longsword for Calus, and a rapier for Garius. Zarrock already had his sword, but he picked up a few daggers and a staff. After arming themselves they ran for the entrance hall.
When they arrived Garius, Salius, Cephorus, Alessia, Angelus, Adella, Marius, Caius, Calus, Vaermina, Kytara, and Isabella were all waiting for them, a small army of Septims.
"What took you so long?" asked Alessia.
"We had to get weapons for you all", said Pelagius
After distributing the weapons they left down one of the hallways towards the library.
"After the takeover of Septim City I have made it a standard to always build escape routes", said Pelagius.
Upon their arrival in the library they were suprised to see thirty mages wearing black robes. They shot a fireball and hit Pelagius in the chest, disinigrating him. Marius raised his palmes and lightning arced forth from his fingertips. The enemies fell immediately. Tiber looked down at his father's ashes and a tear fell from his eye.
"Father", said Tiber.
"We have to go, there will be more of them", said General Zarrock.
"He's in shock, I'll grab him", said Salius
Salius walked over to Tiber and picked him up on his shoulders. They then ran over to a bookcase and pushed it open to reveal a small tunnel. Suddenly, a Septim knight ran up, followed by fifty Septim swordsmen.
"Wait!" said the Knight.
"Roderick? I havn't seen you in years", said Salius.
"No time for chatter, hurry through", said Zarrock.
The Septims, Hasildors, Roderick, Zarrock, and the fifty swordsmen followed through the passage and Calus shut the door behind them. Upon their emmergance from the tunnel they saw they were several miles away from Campsite. They went south for a time, gathering up a small army of peasants. They then settled a small city that they called New Septim City.
As the oldest son of Pelagius Septim II, Tiber became the new holder of the Septim throne. Zarrock became the Supreme Commander of the Septim Army, everbody wondered how an old man like that could fight with the best of them, until he revealed he was and elf and had a very long life-span.
Marius soon opened up the Arcane Acadamy, where devoted men and women could learn the arcane arts. Marius hired a band of teachers and fell in love with one, Iella Kelius.
Cephorus also found a loved one, Mara Harius, who became Mara Septim. They had a child about two years later whom they named Lucias Septim.
Lucias displayed weird behavior at an early age for he was insane. Lucias loved to eat paper, dance naked in front of guests, and he even went so far as to draw up intricate assassination plans for killing...a wild rabbit.
Cephorus and Mara had another son, whom they named Gaius Septim. Gaius had a sane head on his shoulders and he was a good swordsman. He also had a very noble spirit about him.
Calus married Dibella Antinous, who became Dibella Septim. She had twins: one a boy, one a girl. They named the boy Artorius and they named the girl Kyraria Septim II.
Artorius was an excellant swordsman and an avid spellcaster, he also had good leadership skills. Kyraria was a good archer and she also possessed good leadership skills.
Marius and Iella also had a child, whom they named Rufius Hasildor. Rufius was a good spellcaster as his father was and he had a happy spirit about him.

But one day, while Salius was walking through town square a lightning bold arced from on of the stalls. Salius pulled out his sword and the lightning went onto it. Salius charged at the stall and saw that their was a man in dark robes behind it. Salius moved his sword up to the man's throat.
"Who are you people?" asked Salius.
"We are the Shadow Assassins", said the man.
"Who sent you?" asked Salius
The man took his dagger and killed himself.
Salius returned to the castle and shared the news. Shadow Assassins was a clue, but it wasn't much. Salius went to Marius to ask about them.
"The Shadow Assassins are a foreign group, usually they don't come this far to kill somebody", said Marius.
"Interesting, thank you", said Salius.
No matter how many books Salius searched, he could not find out who the Shadow Assassins were. So he decided to give up until they struck again.
Tiber discovered that a group of goblins was accumulating near the river, so he decided to go drive them away. Tiber took fifty soldiers down to the river with him and discovered another party was speaking with the goblins. One man was wearing a hooded robe, the goblin wore a cheiftan's hat.
"How we do it?" asked the goblin.
"You are going to attack New Septim City and we are going to kill the Septims", said the robed man.
"Ok, me tell warriors, what in it for us?" said the goblin.
"Hmmmm, I would say that New Septim City would do just fine", said the robed man.
Tiber had heard enough.
"Ready your bows men", Tiber said.
The soldiers readied their bows.
"FIRE", said Tiber.
All of the soldiers shot and the arrows rained on the houses. One arrow hit the hooded man in the shoulder and he retreated into the darkness. Tiber chased him through the woods with two of the soldiers, the rest he left to clean out the goblin camp.
Tiber followed the man through the trees slowly catching up to him. After a while the man turned around.
"It is not wise to follow a Lieutenant of the Shadow Assassins", he said.
"Who is your client", said Tiber.
"Ahhh, that would spoil the fun now wouldn't it?" said the man.
Tiber charged at the man and the man jumped backwards. Suddenly a ring of fire appeared around Tiber and the soldiers.
"Finish him", said the man as he walked away.
The ring started getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller until one assassin fell down with an arrow in his neck and the others ran. The ring disappeared and Salius followed by Marius and Alessia ran up.
"Who were those people?" asked Alessia.
"Horrible mages, that's for sure", said Marius.
"They were Shadow Assassins", said Tiber.
"The Shadow Assassins? Who the hell is their client, he must be hell bent to send so many after us", said Salius.
"Let's talk about it at home", said Tiber.
After arriving at the Septim Castle they all sat around a long dining table. Cephorus, Zarrock, Calus, Iella, and Artorius walked in and sat as well.
"The Shadow Assassins have struck again", said Tiber.
"We don't know much about them", said Salius.
"We do know that their HQ is far away", said Zarrock.
"That isn't enough, if we found out where then maybe we could stop them", said Tiber.
"They are an ancient order, entirely devoted to their cause", said Iella.
"Everybody, we must scour the libraries and find out as much as we can, tommorow we will hold a meeting", said Tiber.
"Good idea", said Marius.
"All in favor, say I"
"I", they all said in unison.
"Alright, let's go", said Tiber.
The next day they met at dinner.
"I have only found one thing, they worship a god called Hadoras, who is the God of Darkness", said Tiber
The rest of the Septims hadn't found a thing, so they continued searching, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not find anything else.
They decided that they needed to capture an assassin, but no more came. Tiber gave up, and continued ruling his Empire.
Cephorus and Mara had a daughter as well, whom they named Galia, Galia was a strong ruler, and an able mage. She went to the Arcane Academy and was taught the skills of a mage by her cousin, Marius.
Tiber's mother died a few years later of old age. Tiber took it well as he knew she would be happy with Pelagius in Aetherius.
Tiber hired a new town guard captain after the old one died. The captain's name was Avolius. Captain Avolius was an able swordsmen and was a good friend of Cephorus, so Tiber trusted him as well.
Tiber soon founded Calus City, and appointed Salius the mayor. Salius was a good ruler, he knew what to do. Soon Calus had a third child, whom he named Pelagius Septim III.
Pelagius was an able spellcaster, swordsman, and leader. He loved to spend time in the wild, conversing with animals. Calus disapproved of this, but loved him nonetheless.
The fragile peace of the land was broken a few years later by the attacking forces of Red Hand. Tiber sat in the war room with General Zarrock, Sir Roderick, and Salius Septim.
"We need to retreat, it's suicide to stay, over one-thousand soldiers!" said Roderick.
"It is not impossible, unless we lose out bearings like we did in the battle for Septim City", said Zarrock.
"This is going to be one hell of a battle, one I am going to enjoy", said Salius.
"For Akatosh's sake, we have to run, it's our only hope", said Roderick.
"No it is not! If we hold and stick together we will prevail", said Zarrock.
"Let's leave it to Tiber", said Salius.
They all looked at Tiber, and Tiber gave his answer.
"We hold and fight", said Tiber.
They went to the armories to dress for battle. Tiber donned a suit of Dwarven made armor. Salius wore his custom obsidian armor. Marius wore blue robes. Calus put on a steel chest plate. Alessia wore leather armor. Cephorus wore steel.
The Septim family stood by the gates with their weapons ready. Two hundred soldiers stood beside them. Tiber turned around and adressed the soldiers.
"We have built this city from the ground up, from the days that my father, Pelagius Septim II, fleed from Septim City, to now we have had not a decent home. But now that we have a place to call our own, are we going to let it fall into another's hands?!?"
"No sir", they all yelled in unison.
"Then let us fight these foreign invaders, and let us win!" said Tiber as the enemies broke through the gates.
Tiber charged the enemies head on, stabbing one in the chest. He pulls his sword out and slices his head off, he turns around and cuts one's leg off, he turns and cuts through another's head like warm butter.
Salius Septim waited for the enemies to come to him, and when they came he gave them a great welcome. He stabbed one's heart, pulled his sword out and cut off another's arm, he then jumped over him and cut downwards, slicing one in half.
Marius Hasildor stood in the very back, he picked up a large group of soldiers and dropped them from two hundred feet up. He then shot fireballs on others.
Calus Septim II jumped into the battle, blocking two strikes with one hand and cutting off a man's arm with his other. He cut off two heads, ducked under a man's blow while stabbing him in the chest. He jumped backwards while blocking a blow.
Alessia sat atop the wall, shooting arrows with expert accuracy. She was careful not to hit allied solders as she shot others.
Zarrock stood atop the tower watching the fight.
"We aren't doing too good", he said. He continued shouting orders to his soldiers...
Cephorus faught down in the fray. He wasn't as good a soldier as Salius or Calus, but he was better than average. He blocked and stabbed, parried and slashed. The battle seemed endless until he saw his father stand upon the gate and shout.
"Retreat!" said Tiber as he jumped off the gate onto the ground. All of the Septims followed as they ran to the closest city, Calus City.
Calus city was only a few miles away, so they arrived in about four hours. Tiber knew the enemy would press on, so he prepared the peasants to move out of the city. Only one day later the enemy forces arrived...
Tiber told his family to run to Cephorus City, he would arrive soon. After they left Tiber prepared himself for the battle of a lifetime...

A few hours later...
Tiber stood at the front gate, ready to fight the massive force behind it. He saw death, standing with his scythe. He cursed Death and he just smiled and stood there.
When the enemies broke through Tiber charged into them, falling many men before a stray arrow caught him in the ribs. Tiber fell to the ground and looked at death, he walked towards him, scythe in hand, and just before he was going to strike, Tiber arose.
Death retreated, knowing it was not his time to go. Tiber ripped out the arrow and continued fighting. The soldiers looked at Tiber in awe, wondering how somebody could get back up after that.
Tiber pulled out his sword, and ran towards the enemies. The soldiers were not afraid of the man who had bested death, for they were well trained. Tiber fell one man, and another, and another, and a stray blade found its way into his arm.
Tiber fell again and an enemy walked towards him. The soldier held his sword to Tiber's neck, and Tiber saw death approach again. Tiber saw a dagger right next to his feet and he made a plan. Tiber picked up the dagger and stabbed the soldier in the leg, and once again death retreated.
Tiber rose from the ground with his sword in his good hand. And the enemies looked at him, amazed. Tiber looked around and saw that his soldiers were dead.
He ran into the soldiers and the soldiers jumped aside, Tiber ran out the gates and out towards Cephorus City. Which was twenty miles away.
Salius led the Septims and the Hasildors through the woods towards Cephorus City. He felt sorry for Angelus Septim, who he thought would soon be a widow, he felt sorry for Cephorus and Alessia because they would lose their father, and he felt bad, because he would lose his brother.
"Somebody's coming, hide!" said Salius
The Septims and Hasildors jumped into the bushes and they saw a man riding down the trail. Salius noticed that he did not ride a horse of Red Hand so he came out to greet him.
"Salius?" the stranger said.
"Tiber?" said Salius.
Tiber jumped off the horse and Salius greeted him.
"How did you survive?" asked Salius.
"The Gods gave me strength", said Tiber
Salius noticed a different quality in Tiber, he seemed at ease. Unlike his usual self.
"The gods must have given you more than strength", said Salius.
"Hmmmm, maybe", said Tiber.
"You're bleeding", said Angelus.
"I am?" asked Tiber "Because I do not feel a thing"
Angelus looked at Tiber's wounds and saw that he had a deep arrow wound and a sword wound that had gone down to the bone. Salius made camp and Angelus and Marius tended to Tiber's wounds.
"A weaker man would of been killed, and you would soon be dead had I not devoted three years of my life to discovering the arcane art of regeneration", said Marius
"As soon as we get to Cephorus City you're going to need at least a months rest before any plans of revenge", said Angelus.
When they arrived at Cephorus City Tiber rested for fifteen days before getting tired of the monotonous healing process. So Tiber went down to the War Room.
"Sir, we have just recieved word of General Zarrock", said Roderick.
"Yes, is he well?" asked Tiber.
"Not exactly, the letter was sent by Red Hand, he is being held in the New Septim City prison", said Roderick.

Meanwhile in New Septim City...
Zarrock sat in his cell, he wondered if Tiber had abandoned him just as his father had. He sat and thought when a big burly guard walked in.
"Time for the daily torture", said the guard menacingly.
Without a word Zarrock followed him. Zarrock was tortured with many devices until they brought him back to his cell, he then collapsed upon the bed and slept.

Back in Cephorus City...
"What?!?", asked Tiber
"He was captured by Red Hand forces during the attack on New Septim City", said Roderick.
"I want a group of ten knights to go to New Septim City and rescue General Zarrock", said Tiber.
"Yes Sir", said Roderick.

Back in the New Septim City Prisons...
Zarrock awoke with a start...he saw a man across the hall staring at him.
"General Zarrock, is it really you?" asked the man.
"Yes, it is me", said Zarrock.
"By Akatosh, I have a chance", said the man.
"Who are you?" asked Zarrock.
"Forgive me for lack of introductions but I am Lieutenant Gorris" said Gorris.
"I see", said Zarrock.
"Yes, you see, I am planning an escape, four other officers are being held here, and I plan to rescue them, but I am not a very stealthy person", said Gorris.
"So you need me to sneak them out", said Zarrock.
"Exactly, on my second day here the guard had to answer nature's call while in the middle of torturing me, I managed to slip one of my chains and steal a piece of metal, it has taken me a while but I have finaly gotten it into the shape of a lockpick", said Gorris.
"Ah, well let us use it tommorow, and get our freedom", said Zarrock.
Zarrock had never had better dreams.

In the forrest a few miles from New Septim City...
Roderick led his group of nine knights through the forrest. They rushed along the paths until they came to a small hole.
"Here it is, secret entrance to the Septim Castle", said Roderick.
The soldiers followed him into the tunnel and followed him down it. When they got to the end they pushed on the wall and saw that not a soldier was in the library.

Zarrock arrived in his cell after another day's torture and talked to Gorris when the guard walked away.
"You ready?" said Gorris.
"Yes", said Zarrock.
Gorris took about five minutes to unlock his door and two to unlock Zarrock's.
"If you follow my lead then we will not get caught, follow in my shadows". said Zarrock.
Gorris and Zarrock ran to the armory and peeked in the keyhole, one guard was inside and was looking pretty anxious. After a few moments he got up and ran out the door. Zarrock jumped out and broke his neck. After the guard died he urinated all over himself.
"Put on his uniform and grab his sword", ordered Zarrock.
Gorris did what he was told (Even with the urine on the armor, he is one loyal soldier) as Zarrock walked into the armory. He saw a dagger on the wall, grabbed it, and clinged it to his ankle.
Gorris was ready by the time Zarrock came back.
"You'll pretend to be escorting me to another cell, the officer's cells, do you know where they are located?" asked Zarrock.
"No, but I can ask", said Gorris.
Gorris and Zarrock walked down the hall until they came upon a soldier.
"Where is the four officers we managed to capture?" asked Gorris.
"Eh, oh in cell 3-C", said the Guard
"Thank you, all hail the Red Hand", said Gorris for good measure.
"Yeah yeah, whatever", said the guard as he continued down the hall.
Gorris and Zarrock continued to 3-C and when they arrived not a guard was in sight. Gorris pulled out the guard's keys and opened the doors.
"I am here to let you all out, walk in front of me as if you are still prisoners and we may just escape alive", said Gorris.
The officers said not a word as they moved in front of Gorris. They walked down the hall when suddenly a door opened and a man said: "Freeze!"

"Zarrock?" Roderick said
"Roderick?" Zarrock said
"How in the hell- there is no time for this, follow me, but let's kill this guard", said Roderick.
"He is no guard, he is Lieutenant Gorris of the Septim Army", said Zarrock.
"Alright, let's go", said Roderick.
They ran back into the library and down the tunnel, a few hours later they were back out in the forrest, and a day later, in Cephorus City.

Tiber gave them a heroes' welcome and even gave all of the officers one thousand gold each.
"I'm sorry I cannot give you more, but we are on a tight budget, Calus City was taken from us last night", said Tiber.
For his bravery and cunning Gorris was awarded the title of knight. And was promoted to Colonel. Zarrock went to the war room and met with Roderick, Tiber, and Salius.
"We have discovered a way around, through the mountains, to New Septim City. From there we will attack Calus City", said Tiber.
"Good plan, but what if it fails", said Zarrock.
"It wont", said Tiber.
The next day Tiber led a one hundred man task force to New Septim City. They attacked under the cover of darkness.
Tiber threw a grapple hook up onto one of the battlements, tested it, then climbed up, his men followed him. They snuck up behind a guard, slit his throat, and continued. They did this to about ten more guards, then realized that only ten guarded the city, they had won...for now.
One week later five thousand Red Hand troops poured into the gates, and Tiber was forced to retreat to Cephorus City once again. The armies of Red Blood moved forward, taking the core of his Kingdom. His King, Bliss, tried to stop them, but they were too strong.
Tiber knew they would soon be knocking at the gates of Cepherous City, and so he prepared. He had all of the Septims move to Tiber City, except Salius, he would not leave his brother's side.

Three days later...
Tiber stood with Salius at the gates of Cephorus City. Roars of hundreds of soldiers could be heard outside the walls. Two hundred knights stood ready at the gates in front of their leader. Tiber turned to address his troops.
"Today is a day that will be remembered! Not for the cunning of the enemy, but the bravery of you all! We shall carry this fight to the gates of hell itself! WE WILL PREVAIL!" yelled Tiber.
The cheers of the soldiers could be heard for miles around.
They turned and faced the gates, every soldier had a grin on his face. Tiber knew that all of his men would soon be dead, but he knew, he would be dead too.
"When do you think they'll break through the gate?" asked Salius. As he said it the gate splintered apart.
"Now", said Tiber.
The gate broke open and troops poured in like water through a drain. Knights fell to the enemies strength. But Tiber did not, he kept on fighting, not matter how many arrows struck him he kept going. Kept on fighting.
Tiber finally fell unconsious, Salius saw and ran to pick him up, he then left with him in his arms. Salius took him to Tiber City, where he died a few days later.
Two days after Tiber's death enemies broke through the gates. Salius led the Septims, the Hasildors, Zarrock, Gorris, and Roderick to safety.
Tiber's legend was not forgotten, he was remembered as a great commander, an excellant leader, and a legendary hero.

Sir Cephorus Septim

Lived in Era 27, got 1 heir(s) (Gaius Septim) and was a member of Templar Crusaders
This is the story of Cephorus Septim, son of Tiber Septim II and Angelus Septim. He had one sister who's name was Alessia Septim and a wife who's name was Mara Septim. He had two sons, Lucias Septim and Gaius Septim. This is the story of Cephorus Septim, fifth ruler of the Septim Dynasty.


Cephorus sat in his room of the Tiber City castle, he mourned the death of his father and wondered now what he would do as the new ruler of the Septim Empire. Suddenly a knock came to his door.
"Come in", said Cephorus.
The soldier stormed into the room.
"Sir, Red Hand has arrived, we are under attack!" said the soldier
"I'll be right down", said Cephorus.
Cephorus arose from his chair and strapped his sword to his belt. He then walked down to the War Room and saw that Zarrock, Roderick, and Salius were seated there.
You finally manage to pry yourself from you chair", said Salius.
"Yes", said Cephorus.
"We have bad news, our spies in New Septim City, Garius and Kytara Hasildor, were killed", said Salius.
"Who killed them!?" asked Cephorus.
"The Shadow Assassins", said Salius.
"Wha-" Salius cut him off.
"We have more important matters right now, we are under attack", said Salius
After explaining the situation they formulated a plan. They would escape with as many soldiers and peasants as possible down through the tunnels and they would burn the buildings to stop Red Hand from using them,
They followed the plan well, escaping through the tunnels before the enemies broke through the gates. Salius led around one thousand peasants and fifty swordsmen down through the tunnels and out on the other side of the mountains.
Afterwards they made camp and talked about the Shadow Assassins.
"The Shadow Assassins killed Garius and Kytara, that's sad news", said Cephorus.
"Yes, but one was captured, and tortured", said Salius.
"You actually caught one?" asked Cephorus.
"Yes, Gorris was visiting and he managed to catch one", said Salius.
"Wow", said Cephorus.
"We learned that they operate out of Cidel", said Salius.
"CIDEL? Tiber Septim I's homeland!" yelled Cephorus.
"Yes, but he wouldn't give up the name of the client, as he didn't know, only Shadow Assassin Lieutenant knows the client's name, and only one is in this land", said Salius.
The conversation was interupted by the arrival of Captain Avolius.
"Hello, we have discovered that the enemy is in pursuit, we have to pack up and leave", said Avolius.
They packed up and rode off into the forrest, the enemy one mile behind them, the enemies had faster horses and less people so they naturally rode faster. When they were one-hundred feet behind Calus and Salius jumped off their horses and pulled out their swords.
The enemies, suprised that their prey had turned to face them, couldn't stop fast enough so Salius jumped up and cut their heads off. Fifty more remained and jumped from their horses to fight.
Salius knew his son could fight so he took care of hmself. He blocked one soldier's slash and stabbed him in the chest, a soldier swung down so he rolled backwards. He disarmed a soldier and stabbed him in the chest.
Calus grabbed a man, kneed him in the chest, and drove his sword though his back. He then drop kicked a man and stabbed him through the back while he was on the ground. Another guys ran at him so he blocked his attack, picked him up, and threw him into another enemies' sword.
Salius and Calus finished off the soldiers and caught up with Cephorus. They soon built a city named Deathreach and spent a short while there. Gaius met a lady named Viola and had many dates with her. They soon married and had one child, Salius Septim II.
Lucias Septim went to the Deathreach mental hospital, where he got some of the best care possible, and it did not help a bit, Marius examined his mind and learned that the wound ran deeper, and had another cause, but was unsure of what it was.
Salius Septim II was a typical Septim, a strong leader and good swordsman. And he was also a good mage, making him a battlemage, he was a very usefull man to have on the battlefield.
Cephorus spent many hours a day trying to figure out where Cidel was, but he had no luck, Cidel's location would have to be taken from an assassin.
A few years later Caius died of unknown causes, Cephorus knew it was the assassins, poison was the most likely possibility. Cephorus tracked down the assassins with the help of Salius Septim I.
After tracking them down they both stabbed themselves, one of them didn't cut in the right area so he was taken to the hospital. They saved his life and asked him questions.
"Where is Cidel!?" asked Salius.
"I'll never let down my homeland, like your rotten ancestor Tiber Septim!" yelled the assassin.
"What can you tell us?" asked Cephorus.
"I'll tell you one thing, there is a spy in your midst", said the assassin,
"Who!?" yelled Salius and Cephorus in unison.
"Ahhhh, you can find out on your own, now can't you?" said the assassin.
Salius and Cephorus tortured the assassin for many hours before giving up.
"He will not crack", said Salius.
"I know", said Cephorus.
They gave the duty of torturing the assassin to Captain Avolius, and they returned to their normal duties.
Colonel Gorris Farilor married Alessia Septim and had one child, a boy by the name of Jorrus Farilor. Jorrus was a good swordsman and a grand officer, when he matured he commanded operations with perfection. He was a major asset to the Septim army. Cephorus pondered day and night who the spy was, and one day, he found out.


Cephorus stood atop the central tower of Deathreach. He wondered in his mind who the spy was when he heard a noise behind him, he turned and drew his sword. He saw that the intruder was a man in dark robes with a hood over his face to keep his identitiy a secret.
"Your father made the same mistake as to engage a Shadow Assassin Lieutenant, he was fortunate to have survived", said the Lieutenant.
Cephorus stood, ready for combat.
"You can talk you know, your father enjoyed talking to his enemies", said the Lieutenant.
"How did you get up here?", asked Cephorus.
"I am the spy, the one you have been hunting, it is easy for a spy to enter an area undetected", said the Lieutenant.
"The only good spies are dead, captured, or allied with me, you are neither so I'll have to fix that, now wont I?" said Cephorus.
"Now that's more like it! Your father was the same way, he thought he could fight off anything" said the Assassin.
Cephorus spared no more words, he attacked. Cephorus charged the assassin, but the assassin dodged the attack easily.
"Hahaha, you are a weak fool!" said the assassin.
The assassin drew his sword and attacked, and Cephorus had a tough time blocking his attacks. Cephorus finally realized that the man was toying with him. Cephorus tried and tried but he could not hit him.
The assassin kicked Cephorus down and held his sword high over his head.
"Your son, Gaius, will be joining you soon, very soon" said the Lieutenant.
Cephorus heard a door burst open and the assassin turned around, he gasped and ran to the ledge of the tower and jumped. Cephorus saw that his uncle, Salius, had saved his life.
"Who the hell was that?" asked Salius.
"The spy, a Shadow Assassin Lieutenant", said Cephorus.
"The spy, and we let him go? Dangit!" said Salius.
"Worst of all, I have no idea of his identitiy, he kept his hood down and his voice low", said Cephorus.
"It's ok, you're safe, let's go inside" said Salius.
After going inside they asked everybody for an alibi, and all gave one except two people, Captain Avolius and Colonel Gorris Farilor. Cephorus questioned the two, and found Gorris guilty of being the spy because he was last seen on the upper levels of the castle. He was locked away in the prison.

One day Cephorus was going on a walk through the city, he walked into an alley and he heard a voice behind him.
"Septim!" said the man
Cephorus turned around and saw a man in dark robes, Cephorus knew better than to fight so he chose the next option, flight. He ran away into the city streets.
As he ran he looked behind him, he saw that the Lieutenant wasn't behind him. When he arrived at the castle he released Gorris right away. Afterwards he asked three soldiers to bring Captain Avolius before telling Salius.
"I was attacked by the Lieutenant today, Gorris was in his cellso I know it is Avolius", said Cephorus.
"A valid conclusion, I would say the same", said Salius.
Salius and Cephorus talked a long while before Cephorus said, "I asked the guards to bring me Avolius, where are they?"
"Let's go check", said Salius.
They walked to Avolius' quarters and opened the door, he saw a disturbing site, the three guards were tied upon the walls, with a knife sticking out of each one's heart.
"By the gods, it was Avolius, that swine!" yelled Cephorus.
A dark robed man stepped into the room from the bedroom.
"Hello, this time you will not escape"
He waved his hands and the doors all shut. He drew his blade and attacked. Salius drew his sword and dueled the man. Salius struck the man's blade and he fell to the ground. Salius held his blade to the man's throat.
"By my authority of Cephorus Septim, I place you under arrest!" said Salius.
The man reached his arm out and a blue flame flew from his hand and hit Salius in the chest, Salius fell to the ground with a charred hole in his chest. The robed man arose from the floor.
"Salius Septim, always a strong swordsman, but a weak spellcaster, pity", said the Lieutenant.
Cephorus barely heard those words, anger boiled in his chest, the deaths of Kytara, Garius, Caius, and now Salius at this man's hands had lit Cephorus' temper. Cephorus saw red, he felt power flowing through his veins.
Cephorus looked up at the man, the dark evil man.
"Ahhhh, you're angry about his loss, you wish to hurt me, to do me harm, I'm afraid I'm too strong to be taken down", said the Lieutenant.
Cephorus' eyes were now white and his skin was red. He felt more and more energy pulse through him.
"You cannot defeat me, your time is at an end", said the Lieutenant.
Cephorus looked at the man and suddenly the room shook.
"What are you doing!?" yelled the man.
His hood fell back to reveal Avolius' face.
The entire room turned red and everything around him turned bright, Cephorus could not see, and when the light left, Avolius was gone, his ashes remained.


Several Days Later...
Cephorus awoke from his long sleep and looks around. He sees a Priest, Calus, Alessia, Marius, Mara, Gaius, and Galia stood around the table.
"Dad, are you alright?" asked Galia.
"Yes, where's Salius?" asked Cephorus.
"Dead, Salius was killed up there with you, we were hoping you could tell us what happened", said Alessia.
Cephorus suddenly remembered that night's events and told the family about them.
"Avolius killed Salius with magic? And you killed Avolius?", asked Marius.
"With Avolius dead we have no leads on the assassin's client", said Mara.
"We shall just have to wait", said Cephorus.

After many years of waiting through the fragile peace somebody attacked, an assassin struck down Cephorus in his sleep, killing him swiftly. Cephorus' family abandoned Deathreach and left the world of Fantasia. They wondered if they would ever return.

Sir Gaius Septim

Lived in Era 27, got 1 heir(s) (Salius Septim II) and was a member of Templar Crusaders
Gaius Septim was the son of Cephorus and Mara Septim. He had one brother, Lucias Septim, who was quite insane. His son's name was Salius Septim II and his wife's name was Viola Septim. This is the story of Gaius Septim, sixth ruler of the Septim Dynasty.

Gaius stood at the gates of Deathreach, an attack was soon expected so he was prepared. They had fifty soldiers and one thousand peasants remaining. Cephorus told them all to wait by the coast, that was before he died.
Cephorus was killed the previous night by an assassin, the assassin had escaped, and that bugged Gaius all the more. The rest of the Septims walked up to the gate.
"We must all leave Deathreach, it's doomed", said Gaius.
The other Septims agreed, and they left, they met up with the soldiers and the peasants at the coast. They had three ships. Everybody boarded the ships, Gaius could see Deathreach burning in the distance.

Several months later...
Gaius landed upon the world of Zetamania, it was no different than Fantasia except for the fact that it was a bit less crowded, and hopefully it was beyond the assassins reach. Gaius walked ashore and led everybody to a small area between the mountains, and built a city that they called Gaius City.
Kytara Septim met a man named Felix Ballerix, he loved her as she loved him and they married a few years later, they had one son and one daughter, the named the son Salius, and the daughter Dibella, after Kytara's mother.
Salius Ballerix became a General when he got older, but was killed at the battle of Gaius City. No remains were left to bury.
Dibella became a diplomat for her cousin, Gaius Septim.
Calus Septim II's son Pelagius Septim III married Ada Garilus and became Ada Septim, they soon had a son whom they named Cephorus after their cousin, Cephorus Septim. Cephorus Septim II was a good scientist, he created cures to many of man's ailments. He was also a respected doctor.
Artorius Septim met a woman named Kytara Harrius, whom he decided to marry. They loved eachother dearly and had many great adventures with him before they had a son, whom they named Calus and another, whom they named Tiber.
Calus Septim III grew up to become a good swordfighter and an able mage, he learned the tricks of a merchent well and started his own business with his brother, Tiber.
Tiber Septim III grew up to be good leader, a good warrior, but a great businessman, like his brother.
After a few years Salius Septim II met a woman named Bellatrix Torris, Salius loved her and after a few years of dating, married her, they had one child, Pelagius Septim IV. Pelagius was a warrior, he once warded off one-hundred men without taking so much as a scratch, he was also a charismatic leader.
Eventually they built a mining town called Garius City, after Garius Hasildor. It was successful and the Septims were able to fill up the coffers through it. They also built a farming settlement on the other side of the mountain, they called it Salius City, after Salius Septim. It held great success and it fed the Septim's Empire.
Lucias Septim was always insane, he had therapy, mages, and doctors try to cure him, but nothing could make him sane. He always repeated: "They're coming, they're coming" but nobody knew who "they" were.
A few years later a messenger approached with a message from the leader of The Demolishers. The Demolishers were a kingdom neighboring the Templar Crusaders, the kingdom Gaius was a part of. The messenger delivered the message and left, the message said:

The conditions of our Non-Agression Pact were that you don't have any cities on our side and no scouts.... i see one city and one scout on our side...so i guess im canceling the Non-Agression Pact.

Gaius had not known of this term of the pact as he had not been here when the pact was made. He swiftly wrote a letter back asking to make some new terms for the pact. He then wrote a letter to a Viceroy of the Templar Crusaders telling him of the Demolisher's actions. Viceroy Rocketdude attempted negotiations but to no avail, he wanted war...
The NAP was going to be over in forty-eight days, so he started training troops. Swordsmen, Knights, Archers, and Catapults were what he had by the end, and he was damn well going to use them.
Gaius was training his soldiers one day when a man walked up, the man had greying hair and was clean shaven.
"Can I help you sir?" asked Gaius.
"Yes, you can, I am an experienced combat veteran and a very famous General where I come from", said the man.
"What do they call you?" asked Gaius.
"Wulf, they call me Wulf", said Wulf.
"Alright, well I'm going to see how you do in the training procedures and go from there", said Gaius.
"Sounds good", said Wulf.
Wulf passed all of the tests with excellant marks.
"You got to meet my commanding General, his name is Zarrock", said Gaius.
Wulf met with Zarrock and Zarrock eyed him carefully.
"You look familiar", said Zarrock.
"Can't be, I've never met you", said Wulf.
"Alright, but I have seen that face, I can't remember where though", said Wulf.
Zarrock and Wulf finished talking and Gaius walked over to Wulf.
"Due to your skills as a General I am promoting you to Colonel within the Septim Army", said Gaius.
Wulf let out a small smile.
"What are you smiling about?" asked Gaius.
"I am just...overjoyed at becoming a Colonel for your renowned army", said Wulf.
Gaius didn't think his military was famous, he didn't have many troops, but he didn't ask questions and dismissed Wulf. Wulf was given the reputation of a good solo operative and was given his own task force.
Wulf was soon given the task of destroying a mercenary camp a few miles away from the city, Wulf fought with legendary skill and it seemed that no man could beat him, not even the legendary Pelagius Septim IV.
Around twenty-seven days later he got word that the forces of Justin of the Demolishers were attacking one of Viceroy Rocketdude's settlements. Gaius informed him that the war shouldn't start for another twenty-three days, Justin's forces stopped the attack, When Gaius returned he told Wulf, Zarrock, Roderick, and Gorris of his negotiations.
"It is good that we managed to hold off the war for another twenty-three days, we need all the time we can get to prepare", said Zarrock.
"Yes, your grandfather would have been proud!", said Roderick.
"So would your great great great grandfather Tiber Septim", said Wulf.
"But you didn't know him, did you?" asked Gaius.
"I knew him, better than you may think", said Wulf.

The war between Templar Crusaders and The Demolishers soon started, and Templar Crusaders was losing. Zarrock decided to go to the city of Tollhouse with Roderick to help the allied soldiers while Wulf was put in charge of Gaius City's defense.

Zarrock stood on top of the highest tower in Tollhouse, watching the battle progress, he hated the fact that he had to sit up here while Roderick did all the ground work, he was too old to fight in any battles. Zarrock watched as the gate splintered apart and the enemies poured in, he had seen this happen so many times that he was almost used to it.
"A bit lonely up here, let me keep you company", said a man behind him.
Zarrock turned and saw a man in dark robes approach him.
"I know who you are, Shadow Assassin right?" said Zarrock.
"Yes, but we take on a different name in Zetamania, The Watchers", said the Assassin.
"The Watchers?" said Zarrock.
"Yes, unlike our other branch in Fantasia we like to stalk our prey before striking, thus we earned the nickname, The Watchers", said the assassin.
Zarrock looked at the gates and saw that most of the troops were dead, the rest were injured.
"Well, if you're here to kill me-"
Zarrock drew his sword
"-go ahead"
The assassin walked over to Zarrock and knocked the sword from his hand, the assassin stabbed the sword into his stomach and kicked him off the tower...

The gates opened and Roderick jumped into the battle, he was old, around sixty, but he was an elf like Zarrock. Roderick jumped into the fight, blocking and stabbing many men before they all backed away and a strange, dark robed man walked to him. The soldiers had formed a circle around Roderick, eliminating any chance of escape.
"Hello, Sir Roderick", said the man who Roderick realized was an assassin.
Roderick spared no words as he charged the mam. The man easily blocked the blow and stabbed, Roderick sidestepped the attack and stabbed at the man. He looked and saw a small hole in the circle of soldiers around him, he ran to it and the soldiers pulled thier swords to try and stop him. One of the swords missed, one cut his arm off, he kept running, out of the gates...


Wulf sat in the War Room with Gorris Farilor and Gaius Septim.
"Zarrock and Sir Roderick were killed by enemy forces two days ago in the city of Tollhouse, Roderick managed to escape with a severed arm, but died of blood loss a mile away from the city...it is a sad day for the Septim Empire but we must choose a successor. I have thought this decision over and have decided to make Wulf the new Supreme Commander of The Septim Army. Gorris, I have decided to make you a General", said Gaius.
"This is a great honor, Sir", said Wulf.
"Thank you Sir", said Gorris.
"I am keeping you both stationed here, we must focus on the defense of Gaius City", said Gaius.

A few months later The Demolishers did attack...
Gaius Septim sat in his chair of the war room. Wulf, Gorris, and Calus sat around the table.
"We can't fight, they have 50 times the amount of men we have!" said Gorris.
"I agree, fighting here would destroy us, as I heard from a mentor of mine, "Those who run away live to fight another day" said Wulf.
"I don't think we should fight, it would serve no purpose other than to get us killed", said Calus Septim II.
"Then it is agreed, we will flee", said Gaius.

After a day of preparation, the people of Gaius City were ready to leave. Gaius and his people went to Garius City and evacuated the people there, but not before the enemy army showed up...

Gaius and his men stood at the gates, Gaius didn't need to say a speech, because nothing would raise these men's morale. Gaius turned around, he was going to say one anyways.
"Three times before we have been driven from out homes, three times! Septim City, New Septim City, and Cephorus City! And people keep kicking our butts out, well I'm tired of it, aren't you? We need to show them the strength of the Septim Army!"
The troops roared with thunderous applause and Gaius knew he had done all he could to improve their chances of winning. Calus walked up with his Aunt Alessia.
"That was some speech", said Calus.
"Yes, today we will show them", said Alessia
"I'm going to stay down here and fight alongside the men", said Gaius.
"As will I", said Calus.

Calus and Gaius stood at the gates, ready to fight an army of any size, the city had no walls so Alessia was on top of a roof, she was going to use her bow. Gaius saw the enemies coming and he readied his sword, Calus did the same and as soon as the enemies got close enough they attacked.
Calus stabbed a man and swung his sword around in a circular motion, chopping five people in half, Gaius stabbed a man through the chest and pulled his sword out to block an attack from behind but he was two slow, the sword went down his back, creating a long deep cut. Gaius fell to the ground and the man readied his sword for a fatal blow. The man swung his sword down...
Calus fought with the strength of a hundred men, stabbing, slashing, a chopping his way through. He looked back and saw a man sneaking up behind Gaius.
"Gaius! Look out!" said Calus, but it was too late, the sword had struck him. Calus ran to Gaius' aid...
Gaius layed on the ground, ready to face death as his ancestors had before him when a sword went through the man's back, his sword fell but a hand caught it, Gaius looked to see who the man was and saw that it was Wulf.
"Wulf I-"
"No time, we have to leave, I've aldready evacuated the peasants but a lot were killed, lets go!" said Wulf.
Gaius got up and saw that Alessia wasn't on the roof.
"Where is Alessia?" said Gaius.
"Hell if I know, I was barely able to find the other Septims", said Wulf.
Calus ran to Gaius and saw that Wulf had saved him.
"Thank the gods, you're-"
"We need to go", said Wulf.
Calus followed the aged warrior without question from the city...
The camp that Gaius had told the peasants to stay at was only a mile away, so as soon as they had arrived Gaius had told them to pack up. He had one small hope, a few years ago he had sent a small exploration party up north, contact hadn't been established but maybe they had built a city.
Septim asked a peasant if anybody had made it back from the city, the peasant told him that around five-hundred soldiers and most of the Septim family had made it out, all but Lucias...

Lucias Septim sat in a small dark room of the Garius City jail. He was running away from his pillow thinking that it was going to eat him. He kicked the imaginary pillow and it disappeared, he sat on the floor and started talking giberish. After a while a guard came.
"The General wants a work with you, Septim scum"
The guard took Lucias through the halls and out onto the empty streets, after a bit more walking they reached a house with two guards stationed outside, Lucias and the guard walked in. They saw a fat man with a small mustache.
"Hello, Lucias Septim", said the man.
"Hello, Lucias Septim", said Lucias.
"My name is General Bellanor", said Bellanor.
"My name is General Bellanor", said Lucias.
"Are you mocking me?" asked Bellanor.
"Are you mocking me?" asked Lucias.
"That's it", said Bellanor.
"That's i-", Lucias was cut off by a club lightly hitting his head...

Gaius Septim was taking a walk in some woods close to his campsite, he heard the chirping of birds, the pecking of woodpeckers, and the other sounds of the woods. As he walked through the woods he heard an unfamiliar sound, a sort of light humming sound. Gaius decided to walk towards it and found himself at a strange arch with strange symbols etched into it's surface.
Gaius heard a sound behind him, he turned around to see Wulf behind him.
"Hello Gaius", said Wulf.
"Hi Wulf, what is that thing", said Gaius.
"It is a Loredic Gate, one of few scattered across the lands of this continent", said Wulf.
"What does it do?", asked Gaius.
"It teleports the user to another random Loredic Gate", said Wulf.
Gaius eyed the gate closely.
"Could we use this to reach the other half of Templar Crusaders, Klondyke's forces?" asked Gaius
"Only one being may travel through these gates per year", said Wulf.
Gaius thought deeply and asked Wulf "Who do you think should go?"
"I think that the ruler must go to lead his people, for an Empire without a leader is like a tree without a root", said Wulf.
"Alright", said Gaius.
Gaius went back to the campsite and told everybody the news, nobody liked the idea of losing their leader, but they knew it was for the best. Gaius took his family and had Marius activate the gate.
"I will see you all in a few months time!" said Gaius as he walked through the gate.



Gaius felt like he was being sucked through a straw, a straw with lots of bends and curves. He flew through a dark tunnel for what seemed like centuries...and suddenly, he flew out the end.
Gaius got up with a sick feeling in his stomach as he looked around the area, it was a dark tunnel with ancient runes and hieroglyphics carved into the sides.
Gaius looked behind him and saw the portal, the wormhole had shut behind him, leaving a cold, gray, stone wall. He looked forward and saw light.
"I hope this thing teleported me to the right gate", said Gaius.
A few minutes later he emerged out into the sunlight onto a mountain peak. He looked down and saw a mining city with human style architecture. He opened his backpack and pulled out a long rope, he tied it to the side of the mountain and slid down. He arrived at the bottom fifteen minutes later and started towards the city.
After a bit of walking he reached the city, two guards were at the entrance.
"Excuse me, what is the name of this city?" asked Gaius.
"Gaius City, named after Gaius Septim", said the guard.
"Thank you", said Gaius as he continued to walk through the city until he saw a large castle in the center.
"That must be what I am looking for", said Gaius as he walked towards it, upon arriving a guard blocked his entry.
"Name and status", said the guard.
"Gaius Cephorus Septim, sixth ruler of the Septim Dynasty", said Gaius.
The two guard's faces wore shocked expressions, not a word was said as they beckoned him in. He walked into the throne room where he saw a fat man being entertained by a couple of harems.
Gaius recognized him immediately as Colonel Tiranus. Tiranus saw him but did not recognize him.
"Who is this peasant walking freely through my halls, I could use a good laugh" he beckoned to guards over to him "Use the drilling fire", said Tiranus.
The two guards approached Gaius, they were about to grab him when Gaius outstretched his arms and two large fiery holes appeared in their chests.
"Who are you?" asked Tiranus.
"Gaius Cephorus Septim, true ruler of this city", said Gaius.
"S-sir I am s-sorry", said Tiranus as he stepped down from the throne.
"The punishment for taking the throne of a Septim is usually death, but based on how many peasants you must have tortured I have an even better punishment for you", said Gaius.

Tiranus was hung by his arms in the town square, where every peasant was allowed to throw rocks at him. Gaius ruled his throne with compassion and kindness, as all his ancestors had before him. But peace can never last and war soon broke out between the Templar Crusaders and Destiny.

Gaius was forced to train knights, he trained many, but he was worried about the lack of a General. Gaius thought hard but none of his soldiers were leaders, they were all followers.

Wulf marched in front of the people he was leading, many had abandoned him and only two thousand of the original five-thousand peasants remained. His soldiers had stayed with their General. Wulf's thinking was interupted by lights up ahead, he saw that it was a city...

A messenger interupted Gaius' dinner one night.
"What is it, courier?"
"General Wulf and the rest of the Old Gaius City survivors are at the city of Flode Block B sir", said the messenger.
"That is great news! When will they arrive?" asked Gaius.
"Twelve days sir", said the messenger.

In twelve days the survivors arrived, Wulf, Alessia, Gorris, Calus, Pelagius, Salius, Viola, and the others. Gaius greeted his wife with a kiss, he then walked over to Wulf.
"I know you have been traveling with this group for many moons, but I need you to lead an army down south to the other Crusader's forces to protect the kingdom", said Gaius.
"Of course I will, how many men do we have?", asked Wulf.
"One-thousand seven hundred knights", said Gaius.
"What are their numbers?" asked Wulf.
"Over a seventy-five thousand", said Gaius.
"What are the other Crusader's numbers?", asked Wulf.
"Klondyke has around twenty thousand warlords, Fassy has around nine-hundred Nazguls, King Bliss' surviving peasants from the war with Demolishers were unable to create any troops in the time for the war with Rednas, I do not know how many troops Rocketdude has, and I am also unaware of Maxei's numbers", said Gaius.
"We may stand a chance if we can destroy their armies, but our troop's morale is too low to fight, we need you to join them in battle at Hah", said Wulf.
"I see, well, get ready, I will do the same", said Gaius.

Gaius had some peasants pack his things. After they were packed, he left with the Septim First Army to Hah. The journey was swift and the gods granted them good weather. They arrived at Hah in time for the battle, over the walls was a terrible sight, over seventy-five thousand soldiers, the battle ahead was be a terrible one. And elsewhere people were having their own adventures...

Lucias Septim lived through the clubbing at the hands of The Demolishers, and one day they left Zetamania for the faraway land of Starta, they left Lucias in a cell to starve to death. He layed in his cell for three hours before help arrived in the form of a click, his cell door opened.
Lucias walked out of his cell and walked down the halls mumbling to himself until he found an exit. He walked out and a man stood outside, the man turned around and looked at him and a sense of recognition spread over Lucias, but he could not remember where he had seen him.
The man walked over to Lucias.
"Hello Lucias Cephorus Septim", said the man.
"Hello Lucias Cephorus Septim", said Lucias.
"Now, we can't have you repeating my words, for that wastes time", said the man.
The man placed his hands on Lucias' brow and everything became clear to him. Lucias had become sane.
"Lets start over, Hello Lucias Cephorus Septim", said the man.
"Hello, who are you?" asked Lucias.
"I cannot tell you who I am, but I will tell you this, your brother has founded another city by the name of Gaius City, it is northeast of this area, about a months travel, go there, and help your brother", said the man as he disappeared.
Lucias decided to heed the man's advice and seek out his brother. He traveled a month before he reached his destination, Gaius City.


Wulf stood at the gates of Hah, roars of tens of thousands of soldiers could be heard outside the gate. Gaius stood next to him, clad in Dwarven armor. The Knights behind him wore Dwarven as well, but it would not protect them against the numbers of the enemy. The gates soon broke, and enemies poured in. Wulf fought with the bravery of the greatest heroes and struck down scores of men before he saw Gaius fall to a blade.
"Retreat!!!", yelled Wulf as he dodged a blow. He stabbed the man and ran for Gaius, he picked him up on his shoulders and ran like hell out of town.
When he was a safe distance away he put Gaius down. He looked at the wound, it was a deep stab wound, blood was pouring out. Wulf placed his hand on the wound and the sides of the cut came together, forming a white scar.

Gaius woke a few hours later in the middle of a wheat field, he got up and looked around and saw that he was one mile away from Gaius City.
"How and the hell did I get here?", he asked himself as he started off towards the city. Upon arriving he saw that it had two Destiny soldiers guarding the entrance.
"Name and position?", one of them asked.
Gaius paused for a minute then said: "Garius Hasildor, miner".
The soldier eyed him for a second and then said: "You may pass".

Upon arriving at the city Lucias saw that it was under attack by strange looking soldiers, he jumped behind a rock and watched the action. The action went on for three hours, and two hours after that a couple of soldiers walked to the gate and stood guard. Lucias went hunting and came back to see a man walk to the entrance, he talked to the guards for a minute, he then walked in.
Lucias was tired of waiting so he decided to do the same, he walked up to the gates and approached a guard.
"Name and position?", said the guard.
"Caius Garrilor", said Lucias.
The soldier let him pass...

Gaius saw a familiar face walk through the gate behind him and walked into a nearby tavern, he sat himself, Lucias followed him in and sat at the table with him.
"Hello Gaius", said Lucias.
"You are sane now? You remember me?", asked Gaius.
"Yes, and now we must work to recover this city, father would want it", said Lucias.
"How will we do it, got any suggestions?", asked Gaius.
"No, bu-"
The city alarms activated and fighting could be heard outside, Gaius drew his sword and looked out the window. Soldiers were taking the city, TC soldiers. Gaius walked out and approached them. One of them pointed a bow at him.
"Who are you?", asked a soldier.
"Gaius Cephorus Septim, Sixth ruler of the Septim Dynasty, son of Cephorus Tiber Septim, son of Tiber Pelagius Septim II, son of Pelagius Calus Septim, son of Calus Tiber Septim, son of the great Tiber Ignotus Septim!", said Gaius.
"Well, based on the fact that you know the Septim Family tree I'm guessin' you're the real deal, we have taken this city for you, but Destiny forces approach, and we must depart", said the soldier.
"Goodbye soldier of Maxei", said Gaius as the soldier ran off to assemble his men.

Two days later the enemies approached, but Gaius, Lucias, and the remaining peasants had already departed, leaving not a trace to the enemies. They ran across the countryside to Salius City, where they stayed.
"Where is the rest of the family, do you know?", said Gaius.
"No, I don't know", said Lucias
"Hmmmm, I'll be back soon", said Gaius as he went for the door.
A few hours later he returned with a Destiny guard. He seated him in a chair and pulled out a whip.
"Do you know where the Septim family is?", asked Gaius kindly.
"I have no clue", said the guard.
Septim whipped the guard.
"Do you know where the Septim family is!?", asked Gaius.
"Arrrrgggggghhhh, I have...no...idea!", said the guard.
Septim whipped him three times
"WHERE IS MY FAMILY YOU SWINE!?!?!", yelled Gaius.
"Arrrgggghhhh, what...family?", said the guard.
Septim whipped him
"I'll tell you all the names! Alessia Septim, Gorris Farilor, Viola Septim, Calus Septim II, Pelagius Septim IV, Salius Septim II, Bellatrix Septim, Pelagius Septim V, Pelgaius Septim III, Artorius Septim, Kytara Septim II, Felix Ballerix, Kyraria Ballerix, Salius Ballerix, Dibella Ballerix, Calus Septim III, Tiber Septim III, Cephorus Septim II, Marius Hasildor, Iella Hasildor, and Rufius Hasildor, have you seen any of them?", asked Gaius.
"You have a very large family, and I have not seen a single one!"
Septim whipped him five times.
"Have you?", asked Gaius.
"FINE! I have seen them all, they were moved from Goodison Park prison to Gaius City prison two days ago, now please stop whipping me!", yelled the guard.
Gaius called a guard, who escorted the Destiny guard to the prisons. Gaius regrouped the guard with the help of Lucias and marched to Gaius City, upon arriving he saw that the forces of Maxei Brutes had already taken the city. He approached the guard.
"I a-", Gaius was cut off by the guard.
"I know who the ruddy hell you are, you told me last week, Gaius Septim, we took this over for you, it seems they took it over and left it unguarded as they continued their rampage, so go ahead and take control of your city, we need to move out", said the guard as he went to regroup his soldiers.
Gaius ran to the prison and looked all down the halls for the Septims, he found them in the last cell. He unlocked the door and his wife, Viola, hugged him. Calus Septim II approached him.
"They've killed Marius, Alessia and Iella, they wouldn't give up your location because they really didn't know, so they...killed them", said Calus.
"They killed them?!? Where is Gorris and Marius's son Rufius?", asked Gaius.
Rufius and Gorris approached him.
"Those arses killed my wife, I will have my vengeance, Gaius, I want to lead a force of three-hundred knights into battle, we will help the rest of TC as best we can!", said Gorris.
"Of course Gorris", said Gaius as he turned to Rufius.
"Rufius, you have lost your parents, but they died like heroes, you know how much we cared for them, we care about you the same amount, I have lost my father and my mother as well, I know how it feels, the pain eventually goes away", said Gaius.
Rufius didn't say a word, he just walked away.
Gaius finished his reunion with his family and went to the Septim castle to organize Gorris's plans. Gorris soon departed with his newly-trained three hundred knights and freed Bullens End and By the way from Destiny's rule, but afterwards they went to Pelagius City to get more knighs for the cause.
Gaius wondered where Wulf disappeared to, but dismissed the thought as he taught his son, Salius, how to rule. Salius showed good leadership skills and impressed many among his father's Empire.
Rufius Hasildor soon found a wife, Carilla Wiela, and had three children, Salius Hasildor, Garius Hasildor II, and Iella Hasildor II. Salius and Iella were gifted mages, Garius was a strong swordsman. They helped the Septim Empire tremendously with their skills in several battles.

Wulf approached Gaius one evening.
"Wulf? Where have you been?", asked Gaius.
"Tending to my own business, it isn't important, what is happening in the lands?", asked Wulf
"It seems that we are doing ok against Destiny's forces, but it'll be good to have you back", said Gaius.
"Where is the army right now?", asked Wulf.
"We need time to train more knights, or else we won't be of any real use to TC", said Gaius.
"Yes, I'll train them, we need to build a city of soldiers, a place to train them off by themselves", said Wulf.
"I will order the settlement of the city, I'll call it, Lucias City", said Gaius.


Lucias City was settled, Wulf went and trained troops, it's location in the center of Salius City, Gaius City, and Pelagius City made it the base for the Septim Army as well. Troops from all over the Septim Empire poured into Lucias City, under the command of General Wulf. Gorris was stationed in Gaius City, he would protect it to the best of his tactical abilities. The Septim Empire was regaining it's strength. The war between Templar Crusaders and Destiny was like a big tug o' war, both sides were taking and losing cities. Viceroy Klondyke, Viceroy Rocketdude, Mr. Fassy Hole, and Mr. Maxei Brutes were doing a good job at fighting Destiny.
Salius Septim II had another son, whom he named Gorris after his mentor, General Gorris Farilor. He grew up to be a trusted advisor for his uncle, Gaius Septim.
Gaius's sister, Galia, married a man named Relius Villia, whom she fell in love with.
Galia married this man after a few years of dating and had twins, a son and a daughter, she named them Alessia and Roderick, after Alessia Septim and Sir Roderick.
Lucias Septim found love also, Xellia Herildor, but she died of the Spraggian Virus two years after they married, they had one son together before she died, they named him Caius Septim. He grew up to be one of the greatest warlords in the Septim Empire, second only to Wulf himself. He was taught the skills of a leader by Gorris Farilor and became his apprentice, on the day he died he took his position.


Gorris stood at the gates of Hah, 6000 knights and 500 swordsmen behind him.
"Bring up the ram!", yelled Gorris.
Around twenty knights picked up a large tree trunk and started ramming it into the gates. Gorris saw a movement out of the corner of his eye and an arrow hit him in the neck, Gorris fell to the ground, he looked around and saw a dark robed man standing on the walls, he gave a salute and disappeared. A few Knights ran over to Gorris, but he was already dead.
Caius Septim ran over to Gorris's body and kneeled by it. A small tear trickled down his cheek. He turned to the soldiers.
"General Gorris Farilor was...a hero, but we must push on! Ready the ram!", yelled Caius. The soldiers broke through the gate and attacked, but no soldiers were inside, just a bunch of peasants armed with whatever they could find.
"Drop your weapons and you will be spared, we are not here to harm you", said Caius.
"Do your worst, Septim scum!", yelled a man as he charged Caius. The knights attacked and killed many peasants, The city of Hah was now under TC control.


Gaius sat in the war room of the Septim Palace reading a tome when a soldier bursted into the room.
"Sir, we took Hah!", yelled the soldier.
"That is great news", said Gaius happily.
"But, General Gorris Farilor has fallen in battle. Caius Septim lead us in the taking of the city", said the soldier sadly.
Gaius felt a deep sorrow for Gorris's death, but he managed to look up at the soldier.
"Pull the army back, I sense danger approaching", said Gaius.

A few days later the army returned, and a few days after that the Russians attacked, the Russians were a Kingdom much more powerfull than Templar Crusaders at the time. Gaius went to the war room to discuss the matters with Marius Hasildor, General Wulf was missing again for an unknown reason.
"Marius, what should be done, what should we do?", asked Gaius.
"Gaius, the Russians are too strong, with Destiny attacking from the south there is but one thing you can do...flee", said Marius.
"Where do we flee to? I have seen the signs, armageddon is upon us", said Gaius.
"The portal that you went through to reach Gaius City, it can take more than one person, but a sacrifice is needed, the sacrifice MUST be somebody who had travelled through a portal before, Gaius, that is you", said Marius sadly.
Gaius looked down for a few seconds, and then looked up.
"Somehow...I knew this was true. We leave tomorrow, pack your things", said Gaius.
"Gaius, I am a mage, but I am over one hundred and twenty five years old. I am suffering from the Falian Virus. I have less than a month to live. I'll cover your escape, it is how I have always wanted to die", said Marius sadly.
"I...understand, good luck, Marius Hasildor", said Gaius as he got up and left the room.

The Russians did soon attack, and Marius stood at the walls of Gaius City. He raised his arms and a large field of fire washed over the Russian Army, he shot lighting from his fingers, and he frosted the army over with ice. But an arrow soon hit him, in the heart, and he fell from the walls down into the city...

After three days of climbing up the mountain, armageddon struck, they got to the top to a plateu where the cave lied on the other side.


Gaius ran with the other Septims. Fire rained from the heavens and killed peasants, knights, and Septims alike, Gaius ran to a the cave that held the rift portal, Gaius was told by Wulf that a sacrifice had to be made in order to allow more than one person through, Gaius walked over to the portal and turned around to face the others.
"Goodbye family and friends, my life has been full...and my soul shall rest easy. Good luck, for this is my end!", said Gaius as fire engulfed his body, leaving a small pile of ashes behind.
Salius had not known that his father had to die and let a tear go down his face, but the portal suddenly shone with the brightness of a million candles, Salius turned to the others.
"Lets go!", said Salius as he ran through the portal...



Gaius sat in a white room. He looked around and a chorus of voices called out to him.
"Welcome to the afterlife, Gaius, you have been a brave man in the world below. The lands of Mundus are a tough place to live, but you are in Aetherius now, so all shall be well"
"Who are you?", said Gaius.
"We are your friends and family, Gaius, come through the door, and meet us", said the chorus of voices. Gaius walked silently over and through the door.

Gaius saw Cephorus Septim, smiling at him. He saw his grandfather, Tiber Septim II, he too was smiling at him. He saw a man he had never met, and assumed that it was his Great-Grandfather Pelagius Septim II. Gaius saw his great-great grandfather Calus Septim. But no other man was there. Gaius approached Cephorus.
"Where is Tiber Septim", said Gaius.
"He returned to Mundus to help his desendants, he has done much for you", said Cephorus.
"What is he called now?", asked Gaius.
"I...cannot say...but he will always watch over the Septim family", said Cephorus.
"I understand father", said Gaius as he walked away. Gaius soon found a room that said 'Gaius Septim' on it, he decided to enter. It was a room like his own in Gaius City. Gaius sat down on the bed and looked up to see a hooded figure standing across the room.
"Who are you?", asked Gaius.
"Tiber Rellius Septim", said the man as he revealed his face...

Duke Salius Septim II

Lived in Era 28, got 1 heir(s) (Pelagius Septim IV) and was a member of Templar Crusaders
Salius Septim II was the son of Gaius Septim and Viola Septim. His wife's name was Bellatrix Torris, and he had one son named Pelagius Septim IV. This is the story of Salius Septim II, seventh Ruler of the Septim Dynasty.

Salius awoke to a loud boom and ran to his window of the Gaius City palace. He saw many large lizard creatures flying throughout the sky and his stomach dropped.
"Naguls..."
Salius grabbed his sword and buckled it to his belt. Salius then ran downstairs and saw that all of the Septims where already waiting in the main hall, his father was standing before them.
"The Russians are attacking, we must flee to the one place I know is safe. Follow me and stay close!", said Gaius as he turned towards Salius.
"Son, should I die tonight I want you to have this", said Gaius as he unbuckled a sword from his belt.
"Few people I have told about the origin of this blade. But it is very important that I tell you. This blade is called Firengard, it has been passed down since the time of Tiber Septim. It was forged by a now extinct race of master forgers we like to call Girens. This sword has powers only imagined by many, it's power can only be unlocked by one of Septim blood. I now pass this sword to you, as a Ruler to his Prince, as a father to his son. This blade, Firengard, is now yours. Use it well...my son", and Gaius kneeled before Salius and held up the sword, Salius took the sword and looked at it. It was a beautiful blade, a shade of white that is hard to describe, many white stones engraved in it's hilt. Salius buckled the blade.
"Father, words cannot describe the feelings inside me, thank you", said Salius.
Gaius said nothing as he turned towards the Septims in the hall.
"Lets go!", said Gaius as he ran out the front door.

They split and ran through the city. Salius ran with Caius Septim, Rufius Hasildor, Pelagius Septim IV, and Salius's father, Gaius Septim. Salius drew the blade from it's sheath and attacked, the blade felt light and easy to use, almost like a stick, and when it struck it seemed to cleave through bone as if it were butter. Gaius was using another blade he brought with him of dwarven make. Pelagius charged and cuts a soldier in two, he then kicked the top half of the soldier into another soldier, sending him backwards. The Septims finally made their way to the front gate where a mighty nazgul stood, black as midnight, eyes as red as the fires of hell itself. Pelagius, Salius, Gaius, Rufius, and Caius walked slowly around it. The beast shook it's enormous head as it charged the Septims and Rufius. Pelagius ran towards it and jumped onto it's tail. The beast shook it's tail, but Pelagius hung on through it. Rufius ran upto it and stabbed it in the eye, the beast roared and slashed at Rufius, who managed to dodge backwards. Salius ran upto it, Firengard in hand, and brought it down upon the beast's head. The nazgul let out one last cry as the blade sunk through flesh and bone alike, leaving but a stump. Gaius looked at them all.
"C'mon! Let's go!"

Gaius, Salius, Caius, Rufius, and Pelagius ran to the edge of the mountains and met with the other Septims, Gaius led them to the cave that he had arrived in and did something Salius never expected. He sacrificed himself in order for the others to survive. Salius turned towards the others and led them all through the portal to lands unknown.

Salius fell from the portal and landed roughly on the stone floor beneath him. He got up and looked behind him, his cousin, Caius Septim, walked towards him with Salius's son, Pelagius.
"Hello cousin, we seem to have arrived in another cave! Oh well, give the order and we'll move out", said Caius.
Salius turned towards the crowd of Gaius City survivors.
"Alright, lets move out!", said Salius.

They walked around for several days until they found a perfect spot for a city. They built and built and eventually a large city stood before them, they named it Septim City. They stayed barely a year before tragedy struck. Salius Septim II was assasinated by the Shadow Assassins in his sleep. The city was abandoned and Pelagius Septim IV took the throne as leader of the Septim Empire. Although Salius's rule was short-lived, he was forever remembered as one of the greatest fathers a man could have.
