Peter Flameheart

Early life
Peter and his brother Nelis were born as non-identical twins in fort Greengate (now Volandia) in Savernia, their parents being Geoffrey Flameheart and Sophie Cardel. They were kept a secret for a long time to keep them out of the unstable political games of Bardonia that where played at the time. This meant their father went to war and their mother didn’t have much time either cause she was helping with supplying potions for the war. Keeping them from the outside world and with the parents away, the boys became curious and bored at times, which meant they were often naughty and tried to sneak out of the fort or caused mischief inside of it. All this went on till they were about 11 years old and they thought it would be funny to paint there fathers armor in a pink colour, what they had forgotten was that their father had an important tournament the next day. This got them in a lot of trouble they had to clean the stables for weeks and after that they were send to Ashbury as the political climate had calmed down.

In Ashbury Peter was finally taught discipline, not that his father hadn’t tried but being the busy man he was he just did not have the time. He also got frequently separated from his brother because when they were together they often fell back to their old habits of wreaking havoc. Reading and writing, basics in sword fighting, horse riding and table manners weren’t too hard to learn for Peter and he also developed an interest in business. Experimenting with brewing became a pastime as well and he got fairly decent at it. Slow but surely he turned from a boy into an intelligent young man.

Rising up the ranks
Eventually at the age of 19 he and his brother were moved to a new town Ducklandia, later renamed to Volandia; which was situated in the province of Holtendall where there father was a governor. His father’s goal was to test whether he could stand on his own feet; and this he did. Peter saw the opportunity of starting the first bar in town which the people saw as a welcome addition. His brother helped him run the bar and also started doing jobs for the city. As the city grew in size and population both Peter and his brother got involved in more city projects like the building of the first wall which made them earn the respect of the citizens.

Unfortunately the city’s mayor and his council did not always have the best relations with the Queen and government because of bad communication which led to resignation of the Hdroey as mayor. The search coordinated by Queen Hazel herself and her council began immediately because the town had since become quite populated and prosperous. Soon Nelis, Peter’s brother, was asked to take up the position of mayor. Peter joined him in this venture after being asked to fill the position of Vice-mayor.

He earned the trust of many other nobles by continuedly helping out in the kingdom even infiltrating a rebel cell that had formed in Volandia. The Rebel cell was led by Fanthom44 who was soon found quilty of treason and got kicked out of Savernia.

He was also one of the first who contacted the immigrated group called the Quaratecans they settled close to Volandia maybe even to close for comfort. They wanted independence claiming the land once belonged to them but they were told they would have to accept the Savernian rule and integrate. There response was launching raids against Volandia Peters home town. This meant war and together with some support of their ally Aurora they took there settlement and forced them to leave the kingdom.

He was asked several times whether he was interested in ruling a city himself since he was only a vice-mayor yet he told them he already had his hands full with managing Volandia and he had also become a very successfully recruiter often bringing new people in the kingdom.

He also started training recruits in the military and since the military was quite small back then he quickly became an official trainer and was trusted to the war room. And became a member of the New Kings council after 0lly took the throne from Hazel in a peaceful manner.

The Laumont war
Meanwhile tensions started rising in the wider world specifically in the continent of Haven where Savernia was situated. A new upcoming super alliance called the Horde had been subtle but had threatened Savernia that they would have to either join or die. The council would decided they didnt want join since that would mean losing there military and diplomatic independentcy but they couldnt refuse either for obvious reasons so they put it on hold with the excuses that they were still discussing it in the council.

Meanwhile Peter accepted the governor position in the Hold of White Shores. This Hold was the biggest in Savernia and included almost half of all the Savernian territories yet is was mostly unpopulated. There were 2 cities under construction called Riversend and Antlersrest the last becoming the summer palace of king Olly. And then there was the town called Descemont this town existed of Immigrants form all over Rathnir but mostly comming from The Lorent one of the nearby countries that had shown interest in the region and was a member of the Horde alliance. The leader Cole managed to convince Descemonts leader who was called Sir Loppi Knighted by king Olly only about a month earlier, that he should fight for independence from Savernia so that Cole himself could back him and try take land in the progress. Peter tried to talk Loppi out of it to no avail and had to make ready for war. The Savernian council decided that Loppi with his new found state called Laumont was allowed to go independent since the specific region had no big value to the Kingdom and was not worth a costly war. Loppi and Cole were Suprised by this and they got the lands surrounding the city all the way to Antlersrest. Peter later had to deal with several planted settlements elsewhere in the Hold all send by Cole and the Horde leader Called Ringo in an attempt to destabilize the region and bait them into a small war that they could back but Peter managed together with the council to avoid all this without spilling a single drop of blood.

Eventually Loppi, Cole and Ringo started spreading rumor's that Savernia had been discriminating and suppressing the Laumont people. These claims were obviously not true and stirred up quite the the commotion in Haven and larger Rathnir. Nonetheless They used the lies as a reason for war since they now demanded the entire Hold Called the White Shores. Not only was this unreasonable the Laumont people never had any ties to the region and so no right to claim it. Peter once again tried to talk to Loppi but he quickly discovered that he had turned into Cole and Ringo's pawn. Savernia was no match for the armies of the Horde fortunately they were part of the Commonwealth of Haven this was a Haven alliance with its soul purpose being securing the peace in Haven. Both sides prepared for battle and Peter started fortifying his provincial Capital of Antlersrest and even demolished the entirety of Riversend since it was hard to defend, this also prevented the Horde from attacking this weak point and securing a base in the middle of the land.
