Let’s be honest, this posted by accident. Don’t get me wrong this is something we wanted to share with you guys, but it wasn’t scheduled to post today. So enjoy the little audio component with me and Reid if you can and dig into some of the story lore if you desire. Thanks for your support, enjoy the by accident bonus episode.

* Quarion’s father is Penlod Xiloscient: Duke of Merici (Mare-uh-see).  He is part of the original elves who inhabited the land that was claimed by and united as Felicia (Fe-li-see-a) by Human Murdok Stromal 350 years ago.

* Penlod has never taken Quarion off the estate. Quarion has noticed over time that is father is a great deal of a shut in and also not completely sane. He has an unhealthy obsession with rapiers so much so that he has spent more time with them then Quarion, he claims that the halls of his keep are a better place than the rest of the world, and he grumbles angrily to himself sometimes when alone as if he is fighting with someone.


* Being of a noble line, with a father who was there to see it all happen, Quarion was privileged to  learn the true history behind Felicia’s uniting. The history told and taught by others under orders of the last 9 rulers.

* The human Murdok Stromal came to the land with ten thousand men of many races, majority elven and human. They were all slaves until Murdok led a rebellion and they fled from their land across the Tiber (Tib-er) ocean.  They worked within a plant creating clockworks for a man known as the Emerald King in the land of Samara, and had stolen parts over time to build a large raft like hovercraft which Murdok had designed. When it was completed Murdok convinced all the plant workers across a large whole of the land’s assemblies to destroy their work places and those clockworks that were in charge of reporting back to the King or winding his soldiers. They made it to the Land now known as Felicia and vowed to gain support through alliances and use their tools and knowledge to build up a force to protect if the Emerald King sent minions across the Ocean. Felicia was mainly inhabited by spaced out families of Elves, some druidic in nature, sects of dwarves which kept separate from the elves, and a united society of Dragonborns with provinces throughout the land.  The elves welcomed their brothers in the race among their people and supported their brother’s friends.  The dwarfs were promised technology from Samara if they were to share their land and help.  But the Dragonborns threatened to send the slaves back to their master as this was their way and beliefs.  Because of this the elves out of a desire to protect their kin, the dwarves interested in the technology, and Murdok with his army of ten thousand went to each province and asked for amnesty, if this was not granted they were forced to destroy that province.  Ultimately to this day no one has ever come from Samara to regain their slaves.
* Elven history- Murdok had found safety and employment by the elves who allowed them to live alongside their people. This though was not enough for Murdock who, though free, felt as though he just went from working from one master to another.  He schemed with his now freed elven companions to sow the need for a united kingdom due to the threat that the Emerald King would be to their land and how he would ravage nature with his poison.  The elves being peaceful people who desperately desired to protect nature were easily convinced.  Murdok set forth himself as leader and with the support of his elves brought his united treaty to all the people of the land.  The dwarves joined the nation for technology to sunder stone like never before and cut precious stones in ways never thought achievable.  The elves agreed to rule provinces of land they already owned and take on the exiles. But the Dragonborn people did not fear the Emerald King and were content,
