Swift's Sprites

[Swift_Assassin]

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .At this rate, I'll have a person for each generation going back to the scouring. I know some of them are younger looking than others, but it's just when they are in their prime. Some are late bloomers, others stay consistent.


This is Kristoffe Hyperion, Fergal's father. He was a Paladin just like his son.


This is Kristoffe's father, Ernst. A man of the people, he preferred to fight with the rank and file.


And following this trend, this is his father Mason.

And diverging from that trend. It's time for a time skip fifteen generations before Mason, which puts it at twenty-five generations before Shad and Lennox. Back to the forging of Dyrnwyn and it becoming synonymous with the Hyperion family.


This is Francesca the Generous and Hildebrand Hyperion. The blade Dyrnwyn was made by Francesca as a potential weapon in case the Scouring were to happen again and the legendary weapons could not be found. Francesca exclusively used the blade for years. She was a wanderer trying to ensure the blades power was known.

But eventually, she decided she wanted to settle down. So she decided that whoever could wield the blade would be worthy of her. And so, she offered the blade to who ever wished for her hand. The blade had developed a mind of its own. Whoever it judged as unworthy of her it killed. Eventually, she found herself fighting in war. She continued her offers and as a result earned her name as Francesca the Generous.

It wasn't until she came across Hildebrand Hyperion on the battlefield. The crossed blades until she disarmed him. She offered him her sword, knowing it's power. Hildebrand stepped forth, grabbed the blade, and ordered her to retreat. Francesca disappeared from the battle, only to return to their camp afterwords. Dyrnwyn found Hildebrand worthy of being her husband. In a few weeks time, Francesca and Hildebrand were wed as a part of a peace treaty with her as a 'hostage' of Etruria. The blade stayed with the Hyperions, with his son and grandson both able to wield the blade. After that, Dyrnwyn started becoming picky within the family.


On a different note.

This is young Ludwig. I know the vote hasn't officially ended at the time of this post, but it's over. I like how his father had people would want on his team, yet people would rather fight him as an enemy boss.
