    Throll Khaor

    The recent passing of Rashgrall Khaor pushed Throll to the throne. He is a ruthless craftsman and trader, trained by his father he became known for being the one who will do everything to satisfy his customers. Throll was always at his father’s side, learning everything there is to know about crafting leather and pushing customers to pay the price for the high quality the Khaor is famous for.

    Still working under his father, Throll was able to stretch their business to the farthest corner of Historica, which also meant that the requests for rare materials changed. His specialty of trade became creating the most enchanting and mythical leather armors. Skin of demons, scales of dragons and mammoth hide armors, with or without magical treats are within the scope of his skills and fame.

    Anna Louise Khaor (LouLou)

    The younger sibling of Throll, also known as LouLou. She is a master skinner, which in the trade of the rare skins the Khaor process can be a real challenge. Nothing is harder to transform into workable leather, without damaging the traits, than for instance hydra lizard scales. LouLou mainly works within the walls of Kashgar, leading a life of luxury when she washed off the blood stains of her hard day’s work.

    Before she was old enough to join the family business, LouLou was the spoiled brat, the queen kid who always got what she wanted, which makes her still a pain in the @#&% to work with if no gain is in it for her.

    Josephine Livenea

    Is the not so secret bastard child of Abrhan. Although her mother was send to the mainland Nocturnus, Rashgrall had a soft spot for this beautiful half-sister. Josephine is as mysterious as her mother. Studied in Nocturnus to become part of a witch coven and to learn the mystical arts of enchantment and brewing potions of all sorts.

    When the power struggle of Nocturnus started she reached out to her half-brother, who happily took the opportunity to become close to his sibling. Josephine set up shop in Kashgar, blessing the armors of the Khaor family with an aura of unknown powers and strengths. Or at least gives the wearer that assumption, it is never proven.

    Abrahan Khaor II (Bran)

    The children of Abygail Khaor were raised in Avalonia, along their farther Lord Nar Bilu of Hemresa. Bran, the oldest of three, was expected to step in his father’s footsteps and become a military man. He endured a fast training as a tracker, marksman and strategist. After a long year facing the dangers of the Historica continent he returned to Avalonia to seal his fate and pledge loyalty to the new royals.

    Not long after returning he was summoned by his nephew Throll to join the Khaor family on Varlyrio. His skills in hunting were a welcome addition to contribute to the growing demand of rare materials. He himself thought it was too early still to get the responsibility to become Lord, so a different challenge was a welcome path to gain more experience. Bran was to form a team of skilled hunters to track down rare animal and mystical creatures for their scales, fur or other material their skin was made up to make the finest armor in all of Historica and beyond.

    Bran’s hunting party (Marlowe & Grogk)

    When Throll summoned for Bran, revealing part of the assignment, Bran decided to take his longtime friend Marlowe along for the quest. Marlowe is a renown Kaliphlin Lionell tracker from Barqa and an excellent diplomat, speaking most of the uncommon Historica languages from the number of journeys across the mainland. Besides that, he was a Kaliphlin army regiment commander for several years. Both men travelled from Barqa to their new home Varlyrio.

    Shortly after the details of their mission was explained by Throll, Bran found it necessary to add a local to his party. One that was familiar with the area as well as the basics of their mission. Throll suggested to meet up with Grogk, a supplier of hides from the Wastelands. He masters hunting and survival in these rough lands and he knows how to skin them. Secondly he knows the orcish culture, being one himself.

    After meeting up with him in The Drunken Imp, they team seems to hit it off, ready for their first assignment.

    Christopher Khaor

    The unwedded and childless uncle of the family is a strange one. He is a farmer and extraordinary tradesman, one that takes so much care in his product that any competitor is jealous. He owns a number of farms just outside the skirts of Kashgar and he manages a few in the Wastelands. Silk and cotton are his main trade.

    Bran of Khaor

    28848648147_6558a8884a_n.jpg

    Bran was called to his dad’s quarters. The aged Lord Nar Bilu had saddened eyes, he asked the grown up boy to sit at his table. As Bran sat down, his father started to tell about his early days and how he got his funding for his very first Avalonian army. The brother of Bran’s mother, so his uncle Rashgrall Khaor, fled to Varlyrio to became one of the most important tradesmen of Historica. He acquired the rights for trading leather on the island and abroad. He established a name, people from all over Historica wanted his leatherwork. On the east coast he purchased a number of buildings in Kashgar, which became one of the largest trading cities of Varlyrio.

    Most recently uncle Rashgrall died and Bran’s nephew Throl took over the family business, together with his sister LouLou. Throl wrote Lord Nar Bilu a letter, asking for Bran’s help. He is in dire need of a multi skilled trustee, with enough courage, to deal and trade with the savage encampments of the Eastern Wastelands. With knowledge to track and hunt down targets and the necessary skills to stay alive. Knowing the recent events in Historica, he figured that Bran could use a challenge. Bran would be made responsible for the special missions. Tracking, trading and hunting for skins that usually don’t go to market.

    Bran took the necessary trinkets and souvenirs from his adventures and stuffed them in a satchel, along with some gear and weapons, which he loaded on a horse. He asked his father to respond to his nephew that he was coming as soon as possible, but he had one more errand to attend to. His last trip was to Barqa, where he convinced a friend to join his quest to Varlyrio.

    By the end of the next morning, the towers of Barqa were needle points at the end of the horizon. Bran an Marlowe sat at the bow of the ship, with wind stroking their hair. Bran managed to talk Marlowe in to joining on their adventure. Marlowe is a large Lionelle with a charismatic face and the ability to persuade the most stubborn creature. The two talked for hours on their sailing trip to the east coast of Varlyrio. When they arrived in the riches of Kashgar, they discussed their plans to the last dot.

    They were welcomed by Throl and LouLou, his sister. After a long talk, they shook hands and Bran was introduced to the people of Kashgar as family.

    Yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised we aren't seeing more activity in general. I'm working on something, but it won't be ready til closer to the end of the month.

    I’m on holiday until the first week of August. I can imagine I’m not the only one.

    Besides that, I still am considering changing guild. Awaiting details on what the scenario will be in Book III.

    Thanks for sharing your story, ZC. I can't say my four years since joining GoH has been as intense as yours, but I appreciate an opportunity to see past the EB poster and into the real guy. We all have our own stories and it's good to remember that.

    Everything that McCoyed said is so true... :cry_sad:

    Narb and I have worked together before. If you guys gave him the go ahead to run Varlyrio, I wouldn't mind backing him up. With the way lower pressure of GoH's lack of time-sensitive game elements, I think a lot of AG leaders who've gone quiet could be pulled back to GoH as their primary RBG due to the limbo AG is in.

    Thanks for the convidence... if any of you staff guys want to talk just PM me

    If I would get the right support of the community and the leadership of GoH, I am willing to move Nar Bilu to Varlyrio,
    start filling the island, the story and become the Grand Master of the island.

    As a frequent participant of Book I and Book II and as one of the staff players/writers of AG, I think I am suitable for
    the job.

    With a cause like that, I will spend more time building again.
