''To my grand-nephew. I Albrecht, Archbishop of Libau do hereby summon thee to my seat in the land of Vollingen for I have need of thee. You see since a few years my relation with grandmaster of the knights of the Argent Stars has deteriorated to the point of dysfunction. The land and it's lords are on the brink of civil war. However the both the grandmaster and a local baron have fallen in battle against the savages that still inhabit the hinterlands of this realm for it is still inhabited by the original, primitive inhabitants, primarily human tribes with some orc tribes in lesser number hide in the forests of this realm. This event has allowed me to install a new lord in one of the fiefs. For with the knights at their capital to elect a new grandmaster, I can install a new lord without consulting the local lord commander of the order. I need someone who I can thrust and who can you better thrust than family. I am therefore asking you to come to this land and be landed with an untapped and untamed land''.
signed Albrecht I archbishop of Libau

This was the letter you received three weeks ago and it had come as a surprise to your lord father, and well to your whole family.Your family where minor nobles within the empire of Tautenland. Your granduncle being the only one to be of note, having climbed the ranks of the church of the eleven-fold pantheon. You as a second son where never going to inherent the lands of your father and it was unlikely that you would conquer new lands on your own, the age of warlords has long past and you were expected to lead your live in quietly and comfortably but that has all changed now. The wind breezes trough your hair as your ship courses to its destination of Libau and as the ship flows trough the water you think back to your family and your home.

What part of the empire did you come from?
>The county of Holrisland, a land with more cities than nobles, you spend most your of youth in these cities and learned much about the art of commerce from is merchants
>The duchy of Ledingland, renowned for it's erudite citizens and wine ranks Ledingland holds the imperial magic academy as well various other institutions of higher learning, you spent your youth learning from some of the
brightest minds in the empire.
>The margraviate of Fluddenmark, made of marshes and woods. Fluddenmark had long suffered under the incursions and raids of outside forces. This made you and by extention your family into hardened warrios and soldiers.
>The various Principalities and cities of Fleissland. Rich in iron and other minerals. The craftsmen of the land take pride in the metallurgy and craft they produce you spend much time around the furnaces and workshop of these men and still have contacts with their guilds.
