Fear of Fate
*Darkness..That's all Lorian could see..It felt disturbing, disgusting as it felt like it was something more, as if the very shadows themselves were drawn and devoured by what was before him. The leather boots of the Lord were upon the onyx shaded ground, lifting the right leg up he found it was both liquid and solid..How odd..Upon attempting to kneel down and touch the substance beneath him it'd slither always being just out of reach before he'd take a step forward, the ripple sent out showing a reflection of spires that pierced the sky above him before a voice came from behind him, a soft whisper as he felt it lean against his back but it weighed nothing. Flowing chestnut locks slithered over his shoulders but he couldn't move to see it, casting no reflection upon the surface beneath him..*
Lorians soft voice was the first to shatter the odd silence. "This isn't real."
"It could be.." *Replied the soft whisper*
"I'm making the assumption that this is a dream."
"Quick as always.." *Soft whisper let out a childish giggle before letting out a satisfied breath of air*
"Where am I?"
"Where do you think?"
"Judging by the vast nothingness and odd substance beneath my feet i'd say that this is a manifestation of my current subconscious."
*Silence followed before the voice cracked into a burst of giggling before he felt a soft nail run along the back of his neck, the soft tone spoke words as if they were serpents and slid into his ear* "Close..But not..Quite..Try again.."
*Lorian didn't have a single clue as he'd take a few moments before turning his head, chestnut hair flowing swiftly as he did but didn't find anything to see before the voice gave out a simple* "That's cheating..Let me show you something..Please." *The reflection shifted and focused upon a large spire, it began to move into the spire and upstairs where a throne that was above all else sat..Empty..* "Tempting isn't it?"
"The chair doesn't give you power.." *Lorian stated firmly*
"Blood doesn't give you a right either." *The voice added calmly*
"Power must be taken along with anything you desire." *Lorian stated to finish the subject at hand.*
"You can't do that if you're afraid of yourself.." *The voice chimed in with another sheepish giggle.*
*Lorian took a moment to himself as those words sank into his gut like a dagger* "I'm not afraid of myself.."
"You're afraid Lorian...So..So..Scared..To admit what you are.."
"Silence."
"Make me.."
*Lorian shifted around to notice nothing as the voice began to fade out stating* "Embrace what you are...Stop fighting.." *The substance beneath his feet began to shift as it'd slither u[ his trousers, tendrils snapping out to grip his arms and wrap around his neck as he was dragged into the abyss without a chance of retaliation..Waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat..*

The Forces of House Castellan.
The Black Knights.
The Black Knights are unique, seven men and women chosen to protect Lord Castellan and the Castellan household and is the only order that can't be directly joined in. In order to join the Black Knights you have to be chosen at birth by the ruling Castellan or the captain of the Black Knights to begin a ruthless and vigorous training from as young as they can walk. During this training they are chosen a number in which they'll train in a specific weapon,the thing with the Black Knights is each one of them wields a different weapon than the other so the replacement must match this but not only are they taught to master their individual weapon but taught to combat anything against them and to work together to compliment each others strength. Weapon style are as follows.
This is Anthems personal army and in extension Lorian's, a sect of Knights that are officially called The Crimson Order but the locals have given them the nickname: "Hell Knights". The order isn't known that well is the biggest issue or their activities as they're trained from quite the young age and brought into a religous like and very secure area in Anthem where they are trained..Due to this secrecy people are wary but these men arn't thugs, they don't break the law and are actually the most trained and held back of Valanices soldiers. These men are zealots charged with protecting Anthem regardless of what it costs but are highly trained, disciplined soldiers that can utilise a variety of weapons to protect and carry out their masters command. Each one of these are said to be worth ten of the enemy and dying before you can do so is seen as unforgivable and disgraceful.

House Castellan: House Castellan is one of the oldest noble Houses and have always been in support for the Empire and royalty, pledging loyalties as early as people can remember but they are also the one with the most mysterious of backgrounds as House Castellan has never shared publicly it's founders or where it originally came from. It has always produced incredibly powerful mages from what people could remember before the leylines were stopped and most born in the Castellan family found themselves pampered but don't be fooled by this ..The family has alot of dark secrets and one that has affected the family for generations..
The founding: The Castellan family wasn't born from a noble beginning but one of darkness and intruige, this has long been forgotten and the only living person to date that is aware of some of it's true origin is none other than Lorian Castellan who obtained a very old book detailing it, this book is written in a language long dead to the world so it's taken him year to uncover it's truth and even now has only been able to decipher a single chapter. The true story will be revealed in due time..What is known by another, Maxine is that Drakon and Maria are important names and have something to do with the book Lorian carries with him.
