Dilanael's history is full of interesting people. This place is dedicated to commonly known figures who can give you an idea of what sort of legends you're living under.


Theresa Whitefire: Originally of the Alvarin noble family of Allston, Theresa was the founder of the paladins of Aura Vek as well as her first servant. She and her companions rescued Kiriel (the last Whitefire heir) and restored him to power while managing to help the nation win the War of Ascension. She was known as a powerful warrior, a holy servant of her faith, and a proponent of Justice in Samia.

Kiriel Whitefire: During the War of Ascension, Kiriel was the last living Whitefire and his confinement in the city of Red Fern almost wiped the line out. Kiriel was restored to his rightful place as King, however, and took one of his rescuers as a bride. He is known as one of the most powerful Kings in Samian history, second only to Madras Whitefire.

Madras Whitefire: The founder of the Whitefire line of sorcerer kings. Madras united the various human tribes under one banner and founded the nation of Samia. madras is recorded as the first human sorcerer and is reputed to have been the most powerful sorcerer to have ever lived.

Quarivol: The first member of the church of Avali, this mysterious druid is speckled throughout history for the last hundred years. Some say he was human, others say he was an elf, and still others claim he was a Tectan reborn. He is credited with having influenced the War of Ascension, the political structure of several circles of Druids, and the Shel Rishad. He is also associated at times with the city of Dane's Grove and the death of Garinex, the great Bronze Dragon.

Tobias Thunderhammer: One of the great heroes of the War of Ascension as well as of the age of heroes in general, Tobias Thunderhammer is generally credited with having slain the Firelord in martial combat on the fields of the War of Ascension and ending the war almost single handedly. His own journals from this time downplay these events, though bardic histories are almost always in agreement. He is known as the founder of the Thunderhammer line and the first lord of Dane's grove.

Tysear: One of the most mysterious figured of the last two hundred years, Tysear has probably had more impact on the modern era than any other man save Madras Whitefire himself. As often called a dragon as a man, Tysear indisputably performed several great acts, including to single handedly slay a dragon in Workman's Valley. It is said that he was bathed in lightning which spewed forth from the dragon's mouth and still he defeated it easily. He was the founder of the Dragonshome band and despite record of his death, he has a strong religious following throughout Samia and the surrounding nations.

The Firelord: Also known as the godmaker, this powerful figure gathered and lead armies against Samia twice, roughly fifty years apart from one another. Legend states that he sires Tobias Thunderhammer, though many tales deny this. What is clear is that he was the single greatest threat to face Samia and the surrounding continent in ages and he was defeated on the battlefield, heralding the end of not only the War of Ascension but, scholars say, the end of the Age of Heroes. Historically he is known as the first high Priest of Mekis and it is said that he bathed his enemies in raw flames on the battlefield.

Johnathan Harrier: The former high priest of Jebedah. He is historically noteworthy due to his ability to harness the power of the church without having any magical talent whatsoever. His writings are legendary and almost every large library has a copy of his "History of Samia" as well as "Natural Law and Artifice".

Cyperion: This powerful figure was the former god-emperor of the Vaasa. He was the founder of the school of thought and training known as the Blade Priests. He lead his vast and terrible military against the nation of Samia and almost conquered the nation whole. Scholars agree that he would have succeeded had he not met his death in Allston, and further admit that his armies could have finished the job without him had his son not taken control of the troops and withdrawn.

Ashton Whitefire: Known as the Kinslayer, this Whitefire was disowned by the royal line for treason as well as for slaying her own father and the former King's son (and the crown-prince of Samia). Former-king Marcus Whitefire met his end slaying her in battle high above Allston and she died, but not before unleashing vast magical damage upon the city that took months to clear and years to rebuild.

Blaize: Great chronicler and historian as well as an entertainer and songwriter, this troubadour of the age of legends is second only to Illoquel in respect among other performers and historians. And most people consider his tales to be more interesting than those of his contemporaries.
