Swift's Sprites

[Swift_Assassin]

So, more background Hyperions.


Roman Hyperion, the youngest heir of Anton Hyperion. The rest of the Hyperions are descended from him out of Anton's heirs. He was physically stronger than the Hyperion who wielded the blade, but was smart enough not to cause conflict between them.


Andrei Hyperion, Roman's son. Due to not being the main branch of the family, Andrei ventured off as a mercenary, free from responsibility. He wound up getting killed by the main branch because of the next person in this line-up.


Saraya Hyperion, Andrei's sole heir. Her mother accompanied Andrei as part of his mercenary company, the two wed and Saraya was born. Saraya had greater ambitions than just being the mercenary relative of a noble line. I said before that the line that wielded Dyrnwyn after Anton died off because of the sword. While the blade claimed most of them, it was strife over the blade and the noble line that killed the rest.

Saraya stole the sword from the current wielder of Dyrnwyn and the head of the family. She demanded that she be made head of the family and a swift battle took place between Saraya and her mercenaries and the Hyperions. Andrei and his wife were captured and killed, and in return 'Sweet' Saraya slaughtered the 'main' line with Dyrnwyn. She took what she thought was hers, and her future husband reluctantly agreed to take on her name.

Saraya is the first Hyperion-born woman to wield Dyrnwyn. They wouldn't realize till many years later that any woman could wield it if they could lift it. Although, technically speaking, it hasn't been discovered yet in the rp.
