Family History

Sir Shadow

Lived in Era 24 and got 1 heir(s) (Disdyakis Hexakis).
Shadow was the illegitimate child of Dargow. The history of Dargow is fragmented. Although little is known it has been determined that he was of humble roots, and only obtained leadership through anarchy.
After survivng the turbulent times created by the anarchy he developed into a well received leader, and thrived in the world of Mantrax, becoming the strongest in all the land. However, his past treacheries would not be forgotten. In the last days of the era the gods of utopia smote all of Dargow's cities, armies, and even direct family line from existence. As a result, he is all but forgotten.
Shadow's name came about as a result of his father's legacy. He fled to Fantasia in hopes of determing his own destiny, and chose his name because he was so determined to leave the shadow his father had cast over him and the expectations of those who had known him.
On the world of Fantasia he joined the kingdom Vendetta. Although the skill of the kings comprising Vendetta varied greatly, there were many of immense power, and Shadow learned much.
Under the leadership of Auspex he comprised several powerful armies in the North, but they were inevitably crushed by the much more powerful and wizened member of Legacy, Dvsmasta.
Despite his less than glorious life, his membership in the most powerful kingdom in the world left a burden to better on his son. As such, his son left for Mantrax, leaving his father and Vendetta behind.

Prince Disdyakis Hexakis

Lived in Era 25, got 1 heir(s) (Ipple) and was a member of Diamonds
Here begins the tale of Disdyakis Hexakis, known simply as Hex by many:

Disdyakis Hexakis was the son of Shadow. He fled the world of Fantasia and went to Mantrax, just as Shadow had fled Mantrax for Fantasia to escape his father’s shadow (the very source of his name!) and forge his own destiny.
As is the custom with Dwarves, Hex would be called by his father’s name until a message from the gods would reveal his true title. For several days the son of Shadow wandered the foreign hills and valleys of Mantrax without direction.
On the third night of his traveling, as he sat camped with his personal bodyguard, a bright flame shone in the sky. Soon the ball of fire had a sprouted a tail of equal brilliance as it hurtled toward the world. The son of Shadow saw this meteor, and knew the gods were sending his sign. His gaze followed the meteor until it passed beyond the mountains. That night, he slept the best of his life, for he knew his purpose.
In the morning, the son of Shadow roused his men and set off toward the impact site. Marching double paced, they reached their destination in the evening, darkness falling all around them. Even in the dark, it was not hard to determine where it had landed for the great heap of metal still glowed with heat.
The son of Shadow founded a city by the mountains where the meteor had crashed and quickly set about creating a forge. When the forge was ready he took the mysterious metal of the gods (which was still warm to the touch) and shaped it with legendary craftsmanship. During the shaping of the metal, he discovered that in the center was a massive diamond, and he lined the edges of his weapon with shards of this material, making it the hardest blade in all the land.
For two days straight he labored in the forge crafting his axe as much with the fire in his heart as the fire in his forge. Finally, he emerged, with the mighty double-headed axe, called Dresden. Not only had he created a legendary weapon, he had received inspiration from the gods and emerged with the name Disdyakis Hexakis, a tribute to the structure of the axe he held so dear.
So central to his life was this meteor and the diamond within its own center that he was inspired to form a kingdom, devoted to it. This kingdom he called Diamonds.

The Diamonds cleared the land around them and established a strong core. For a time, they knew peace; but peace only knows war. And so when Armageddon was cast from Shadow Dragon of Bones, Hex rallied his generals, and rallied his troops, and together they marched west. Although Bones outnumbered them more than four to one, the Diamonds had no fear, for few numbers allowed them to better organize their efforts while the masses of Bones knew not what to do or who to follow.
The first army led by Disdyakis Hexakis experienced little resistence but was still hindered by the fact it could only attack one city at a time. So, Hex launched three more respectable armies from his stronghold. Upon reaching the Bones, they laid waste the land, sparing no one. Having burned or taken over 15 cities in two days, he spent a brief period resting (and speaking with the peasants of his new lands) before continuing the attack (for one cannot rest long with Armageddon looming over them).
On the third day, all the Bones were destroyed on the west side of the river, but everyone in Diamonds knew that their true stronghold lay east of the river. So, the great city of Jade was set as a defensive outpost, and through it pored the armies of Borazon, Lithos, and Hex while Excelsior bravely fought in the southlands.
Excelsior and Hex set up outposts close to the heart of the beast. These outposts were purely for training troops and gaining intel, but the training was slow as there was not an adequate supply of peasants. Still, they were able to amass a respectable force by bringing troops they had trained from the west. Sir Hex led the most powerful army at the time, but by the time it reached the cities surrounding Armageddon it was outforced and forced to retreat to these outposts.
Just as the Diamonds prepared to launch their second attack on Armageddon the darkness looming over the world passed. It appears that Mr. Dimmler, the most powerful ruler in the world of Mantrax at that time, had stopped Armageddon.
And so, the Diamonds turned the attention from the east once more. Now, they made ready armies at the southern edge of their core. Soon, Disdyakis Hexakis, Excelsior, Borazon, Lithos, Evermeet II, Hannibal, and Apache will all lead armies deep into the heart of the southlands for there are many tales of the wealth and unknown riches of that land.
