DireWolf

Dire is the founder of the great city of Dragon's Perch a jewel in the north. His accomplishments date back to the Ellysian war where as a young general in the nation Druk Yul he led the First Coalition-Ellysian War and brought defeat upon the Ellysian Empire driving them into the north east. He now resides in The Pirate State of Barbossa; his city and honor may have been taken in The Fall but his skill with the sword remains...

The Beginning
Dire was born in large fishing vessel The Silver Dragon, a ship like many others bound for the plentiful lands of Eldham. The ship was said to have been crammed full with starving people riddled by sickness and hunger. The sickness as it was called claimed countless lives on board the ship, among those Dire's parents. With Dire barely a month old, the issue of raising the child fell to the military colonel TheDeadJester, owing a great debt to Dire's father who served at Jester's military base in Rathnir. With death tragedy and destruction ravaging the vessel it was the most unlikely place for a child. But even as a babe against all odds Dire survived the perilous journey and arrived at the shores of Eldham.

Childhood
Dire settled down in the great city of Dragon's Point the capital of Druk Yul and was raised in the military barracks. Due to this from a young age Dire demonstrated great skill with the sword and in his early teen years managed to surpass the military colonel himself. After this he grew tired of the military leader and his endless lectures asserting that their was a right way to do things, Dire believed actions spoke louder than words and was frustrated with TheDeadJester's inaction towards the growing threat of the Ellysians. This went on for years with reports flowing from the south, villages burning, hundreds dying yet no action was taken. Infuriated by the inaction and eager to try his swordsmanship outside Dragon's Point, Dire vowed he would bring a end to the Ellysian Tyrants and bring glory to Druk Yul.

Ellysian Skirmishes
News of the Ellysians had reached Dragon's_Point again, this time in the face of Dire's long time friend Yin who had been wounded in the shoulder. For Dire that was the last straw. Few heard the cantering of Dire's horse Tug in the early morning exiting the capital as he went south for Ellysia. Consumed by anger and vengeance, frustrated in the inaction of the Druk Yul government dozens of Ellysians were cut down by Dires sword. For only seventeen years old his skill was unmatched among the Ellysian soldiers. But as Dire went deeper and deeper into Ellysian territory their army began to wake and marched towards their city Licherfelde to intercept him. Trapped by a fast flowing lake around the Licherfelde town Dire was forced to set up a defendable position, naming it Dragon's Perch.

Ellysian War
The First Coalition-Ellysian War was declared from the fortress stronghold Dragon's_Perch, when the Ellysian army surrounded the fort preparing to attack. Dire although extremely competent with the sword had found himself largely outnumbered and unprepared for the Ellysian assault. Tales of the night describe it as completely still with the ground covered in a sheet of snow; the sky pitch black but for three lanterns at the entrance of the Fort. It was at the Fort, a tall defensive tower dominating the landscape, where reinforcements from the northern nations came to deal a crippling blow to the Ellysian military.

Now surrounded by allies the battle turned to the defenders favour with one final advance from Dire forcing the Ellysians into a retreat, the running soldiers slipping on the soft snow as they barricaded themselves into their homes. The battle had been won. The following day the news of the success had spread across the Northern Nations and a army to destroy the Ellysian town was assembled. In the afternoon of that day the barricades in Licherfelde were burnt and destroyed by Dire's army, a shrill cry of surrender from the Ellysians spelling the end to the The First Coalition-Ellysian War.

Founding Of Dragon's Perch
Although still a young man Dire had committed to the horrors and atrocities of war. In a effort to start anew and build something of his own LordCorgi the leader of Druk Yul at the time instructed Dire to start his own city, far away from the Ellysian war; deep in the northern mountains of their nation. Dire as a remembrance of the Great Ellysian war came to the decision to name the city Dragon's_Perch after the defensive fort that drove the enemy out of the south. The construction and development of the Perch took months with towering walls
