Family History

Mr. Aellebin

Lived in Era 32 and got 1 heir(s) (Aellebin II).
Aellebin was a different fellow, while his peers in school all dreamed of being warriors and fight in wars, he dreamed of one day leading his people to glory.

When the purge of the higher societies took place and the Eleven Generals sought to draft students of higher academic society into their ranks to be elite warriors and high ranked leaders, Aellebin was the last considered. His grades, low. his mind, never there. He daydreamed of being a leader and the Elders ignored him.

His family sent him off to disciplinary school, which he then fled on a stone merchant's wagon. He found himself leaving behind his old homeland as a runaway... except fear was the last thing on his mind.

The merchant soon discovered the extra weight and met his mysterious boy and decided to raise him. He explained to the boy the trade routes, He saw many cities, met the wealthy generals and leaders of all races. He even told him about how he lead his own people, before they were wiped out by groups of orc raiders. So he taught him everything.

Years passed, the boy became an apprentice, disregarded his family and believed one day to return to them as a great leader. His apprentice soon could no longer stay with him, and the man paid for his entry into a fancy elven school. Aellebin learned to manage small villages, how to manage armies, and economies and graduated at the top of his class.

At graduation, however, no arms greeted him. The stone merchant that raised him failed to show and his family never knew he existed. Sadness overcame him and Aellebin walked the woods for several months.

One day, fate had a twist and Aellebin came across an group of peasants. Wounded and broken from a raid on their town. He decided to take charge of them and set up a small village. The village prospered and became a small city. When it was time, he expanded outward. He trained armies and set up many towns.

Since then, Aellebin has expanded, settling new cities and towns when ever possible. His family now knows of him, He stops by every now and then because of their stubbornness to move into his city. The Elders refuse to admit their mistakes in judgment.
After many years, he still leads people, for riches and pleasure. Personal wealth and for his family dominate his agenda, hoping one day, a child of his will take over for him. However, he always is on the lookout now, for an unknown, familiar laughing, jolly stone merchant.
