<strong>The Kraken Guard</strong><br/><br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/1b/Kraken_Sigil.png)<br/><br/>An eight-man royal guard under the command of P’Tulla of Ragborn. The men and the single woman come from all corners of the realm.<br/>From left to right, starting at the top:<br/><br/>Gogwar the Fearless, Raemael Strellan, Rzalla, Xechtle Cahn Da-Mun, Sir Devon Lighttread, Omar of the Scorched Sea, Randolf the Salted, Bataar the Bold<br/>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/74/P%27Tulla%27s_Guard.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Gogwar the Fearless</strong>was the fiercest warrior of his tribe, the Gorex before he offered his axe in service of the Nydewian King. The Gorex are a savage tribe, backwards by the standards of most courts, but their fighting prowess is nothing to be frowned at. Their village finds itself near the Nydewian-Caokin border.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sword fighting: (heavy) 4/10<br/>Archery: 0/10<br/>Heavy Weapons: 9/10<br/>Exotic Weapons: 5/10<br/>Dagger/ Knife: 0/10<br/>Strength: 8/10<br/>Endurance: 8/10<br/>Speed: 3/10<br/>Acrobatics: 1/10<br/>Stealth:0/10<br/>Grace:3/10<br/>Horsemanship: 0/10<br/></div></div><br/><br/><strong>Raemael Strellan</strong>was the leader of his own banner of sellswords before his entire force was near completely decimated by King Haidar. In an effort to save his own skin, he swore fealty to Haidar and was assigned to P’Tulla’s guard, having proven his skill as a warrior. There is some lingering distrust from his peers and superiors alike, due to his history as a soldier-for-hire, but he has not given them reason to doubt his loyalty… so far.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sword fighting: (heavy) 7/10<br/>Archery: 5/10<br/>Heavy Weapons: 7/10<br/>Exotic Weapons: 0/10<br/>Dagger/ Knife: 0/10<br/>Strength: 7/10<br/>Endurance: 5/10<br/>Speed: 3/10<br/>Acrobatics: 1/10<br/>Stealth:0/10<br/>Grace:1/10<br/>Horsemanship: 5/10<br/></div></div><br/><br/><strong>Rzalla</strong>is P’Tulla’s own cousin, twenty years old and near her equal in swordskill. She was sent over to serve P’Tulla and King Haidar alike when she reached her 15th birthday. She is P’Tulla’s most trusted soldier and the de facto second in command of the Kraken Guard.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sword fighting: (heavy) 8/10<br/>Archery: 0/10<br/>Heavy Weapons: 5/10<br/>Exotic Weapons: 2/10<br/>Dagger/ Knife: 0/10<br/>Strength: 6/10<br/>Endurance: 6/10<br/>Speed: 5/10<br/>Acrobatics: 5/10<br/>Stealth:0/10<br/>Grace:4/10<br/>Horsemanship: 5/10<br/></div></div><br/><br/><strong>Xechtle Cahn Da-Mun</strong>is a King onto his own, or at least he was meant to be. For thousands of years, the North-eastern most part of Nydewia has held a rebellious streak, and Cahn Da-Mun himself was the one who raised an army and marched against Haidar. After losing the battle, Cahn Da-Mun offered his life to King Haidar in an attempt to save what remained of his host and his people. Haidar offered him a life in service to the crown instead, and allowed him to keep the title of Xechtle, even though it was a hollow label without land nor men to back it up.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sword fighting: (heavy) 6/10<br/>Archery: 6/10<br/>Heavy Weapons: 5/10<br/>Exotic Weapons: 0/10<br/>Dagger/ Knife: 0/10<br/>Strength: 6/10<br/>Endurance: 5/10<br/>Speed: 3/10<br/>Acrobatics: 0/10<br/>Stealth:0/10<br/>Grace:0/10<br/>Horsemanship: 6/10<br/></div></div><br/><br/><strong>Sir Devon Lighttread</strong>was an Aserite knight until he lost both honor and lands by – or so it is rumored – disobeying a direct order from his king during a battle. The knight was allowed to keep his life, but only in honor of his earlier service in defense of the Kingdom. His exile first brought him to the Theirian court, but he was turned away swiftly there. King Haidar was more willing to lend an ear to the Knight’s story, and he offered him a place on his Kraken Guard. With few other options besides becoming a sellsword, Devon readily accepted.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sword fighting: (heavy) 7/10<br/>Archery: 0/10<br/>Heavy Weapons: 5/10<br/>Exotic Weapons: 0/10<br/>Dagger/ Knife: 0/10<br/>Strength: 7/10<br/>Endurance: 7/10<br/>Speed: 4/10<br/>Acrobatics: 0/10<br/>Stealth:0/10<br/>Grace:4/10<br/>Horsemanship: 7/10<br/></div></div><br/><strong>Omar of the Scorched Sea</strong>was at one time the leader of one of the many raider bands that plagued the Nydewian deserts and attacked numerous caravans. One one such raid, he had the misfortune of running into Princess Isliea and her men. In a fierce battle, the Princess eventually prevailed, but she was impressed by Omar’s fighting skills and had him captured instead of killed. Haidar offered the man mercy in exchange for his service, and he became one of the Kraken Guard’s most feared warriors.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sword fighting: (heavy) 0/10<br/>Archery: 0/10<br/>Heavy Weapons: 0/10<br/>Exotic Weapons: 7/10<br/>Dagger/ Knife: 8/10<br/>Strength: 5/10<br/>Endurance: 8/10<br/>Speed: 5/10<br/>Acrobatics: 4/10<br/>Stealth:0/10<br/>Grace:0/10<br/>Horsemanship: 4/10<br/></div></div><br/><br/><strong>Randolf the Salted</strong>at one time commanded his own ship and a band of fierce raiders that plagued the seas. Unfortunately his ship was sunk on a rock formation and his entire crew perished. Only the insanely strong Randolf managed to swim to the sea. One of the largest and physically imposing men in the realm, stories of the red-haired brute eventually reached P’Tulla and the King alike, and they sent out a party to recruit the now stranded captain to their guard.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sword fighting: (heavy) 8/10<br/>Archery: 0/10<br/>Heavy Weapons: 10/10<br/>Exotic Weapons: 0/10<br/>Dagger/ Knife: 0/10<br/>Strength: 9/10<br/>Endurance: 9/10<br/>Speed: 5/10<br/>Acrobatics: 0/10<br/>Stealth:0/10<br/>Grace:0/10<br/>Horsemanship: 0/10<br/></div></div><br/><strong>Bataar the Bold</strong>is 100% pure Nydewian and one of the best riders and archers in the entire kingdom. He was included in the Kraken Guard on King Haidar’s personal suggestion. No man on the Kraken Guard has a deeper devotion to his King.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">stats</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sword fighting: (heavy) 0/10<br/>Archery: 8/10<br/>Heavy Weapons: 0/10<br/>Exotic Weapons: 7/10<br/>Dagger/ Knife: 0/10<br/>Strength: 5/10<br/>Endurance: 8/10<br/>Speed: 5/10<br/>Acrobatics: 0/10<br/>Stealth:0/10<br/>Grace:0/10<br/>Horsemanship: 8/10<br/></div></div><br/>Tell me what you think.
