OOC: i think i over did it.
No, I love it!
It wasn't easy, but I think I made it all fit without contradicting anything. XD
This is a long one:
"So Master, it's been many moons since we parted ways the day the Servile rebellion started. I know it's hard for you to speak as death so very close now.
"What do you want Frangil?, there is no way for you leave Kinzu alive, your army is far away and your alone."
"Father, for everything you have taught me, you forgot the most important lesson of all.
If you rule by fear, then lead away from away from the idea of hope."
I have made the Empire afraid of the idea of killing me and invited me here to see if there is any chance of peace by letting me say good bye to you."
"Will there be peace?"
"....Never"
Discussion between Frangil and his father, Firgahax the one eyed who was a prisoner in the impirial palace of "Bluerock" in the Tu Heirn Da Capitol at the time. 798 years and 5 months before the rebellion
Frangil had been invited there to find a peacefull solution to the slave uprising that gripped the empire. He was such a polarizing figure, that killing him would have definitly ignited civil war, as even parts of the upper casts respected him and his goals as noble.
Frangil however, who had lost his daughter to the empire's chains years ago, never wanted peace and only went there as a distraction.
While his army of liberated slaves withdrew and solidified their positions, Frangil himself intended to smuggle a nest of white Jira-Snakes, which were infected with the dreaded Laruvian Fever, directly into the impirial palace. The palace was the centre of the Tu Heirn Da's political power and he hoped to wipe out enough of it's command structure to leave them vulnurable.
Even though everybody, even Frangil himself, expected him to die, he was saved by a group of slaves that had escaped the slave legions on their own.
They were all veterans of countless battles and had been in the capitol many times. When they heard that Frangil was there and the talks were going badly, they rushed there and, led by a young man named Silharas, managed, against all odds, to spirit him to safety. Amazingly, none of them was infected.
In the skirmishes that followed Frangil came to rely heavily on Silharas and the support of his regiment of elite soldiers which ended up with them having a great deal of prominence and influence after the war when the slave uprising established its new home on the island of Sen. They formed the honour guard of the spiritual leaders of the revolution and took up the moniker of "The Blessed"
Over the last centuries the Blessed have taken up different roles on the island of Sen, but their political influence remains formidable to this day.
They have their own hirarchy, traditions and even their own patron animal spirit which they worship.
Frangil's army never really did exploit the opening that he had hoped to create because the Laruvian Fever was not contained in time. Instead of 'only' infecting most of the high ranking members of the court and the senior military leadership the disease spread like wildfire. As scouts reported seeing whole towns depopulated by it, the former slaves realized the danger, turned their backs, left the continent and built themselves a new home across the waves, vowing to never go back.
The Empire however, collapsed almost completely under the strain of both civil unrest and the waves of death that eminated from the nations capitol, leaving their portion of the continent a lawless mass grave for almost a a hundred years.
And while Frangil was heralded as a hero by his people, his name was cursed on the mainland for a long time.
OOC: That got a little out of hand. When I started out I just wanted to give the Blessed some history

I hope it all makes sense.
OOC: What we also need is a timeline of what has chronologically happened in the unnamed world.
Sorry for replying so late, had some stuff come up.
Anyway, roughly it looks like this:
~800 years ago: the Tu Heirn da empire collapsed (and the slaves founded their nation on Sen)
~120 years ago: 7 artifacts where stolen from the Duhneri, they invaded and the order of the Laughing Star gained power by helping to defeat them.
~5-10 years ago: the invasion of Sen by the NEC started
~1 year ago: rebellion against the crown started and ended
~now: Alehi Il'uDavann's kids have their adventures, Tiobalt gets killed by the knight with the rusty saw, ...
It was never stated when exactly the follower's hunt for the vessels takes place, but I assume its still going strong, so I guess Valiant Reboute might still live.
This is all the major stuff off top of my head. I'll have to check the compendium for more accurate details.
Also, when putting together the narrative in my head I assume most things happen in the present time unless there is a date added.
With some things shifting around a bit from context.
I might put together something a bit more detailed in the future, but I probably won't have the time for a while. If anybody else wants to take a crack at it, I'll gladly threadmark it.
"As agreed, the first 5000 now, the other half when Alehi Il'uDavann and his houshold are dead.
But make sure it can't be connected to you, make it look like the rebels did it or something like that. With all the shit thats going on in the city at the moment that shouldn't be hard."
