Swift's Sprites

[Swift_Assassin]

And now...for two more brief additions to the family tree.


Roderick Hyperion, the father of Deiter Hyperion and the Great General of Etruria prior to Douglas. One of the wielders of Dyrnwyn. After his elder son tried to use his sword and died, he hid Dyrnwyn in the Western Isles. In old and older versions.


And Roderick's father, Fergal Hyperion. Unlike the human tanks the next three generations of his family are, Fergal was a Paladin specializing in lances. Due to political dissension, Fergal was denied the post of Knight General in favor of his rival who was courting a member of the royal family.

Displaying a cunning not seen commonly in his family, he sabotaged any attempt of his rival marrying into the royal family and essentially crippled his House in the process. To add insult to injury, years later, Fergal forced his rival to marry off his only heir, his daughter, to Roderick, thus incorporating their holdings into his own.
