Personal history

Holy Origins

Born in Lighthelm - Don Anglon, Eymen was raised by very religious and righteous people, his father a Royal Knight of Anglon, and his mother a Reverent of Lighthelm's church. Eymen grew up aspiring to be like his parents, constantly talking and dreaming about gaining glory and fame, and protecting the lands he loved from the evils of the world.  

The Golden Saviour

Due to this, he was a reckless child, often going off on self-proclaimed adventures, and while this did him no harm usually, one day when he was 19 (13 Earth years) he marched into a small cave in the outskirts of the city infested with undead, thinking he could kill them all. They quickly overwhelmed the boy, his makeshift weapons breaking and being cornered inside. Fortunately for him, a knight in armour shining like the sun had happened upon him, slaying the monsters that were about to kill him. Eymen recognised the knight instantly, as the Demigod of Light, who he believed to be a judge of mortal men, as was standard amongst those in the Creed. This inspired the young boy even more then he already was, and as soon as he could began his proper journey to knighthood.  

Grace-given Future

In 765 GA, soon after he had turned 31 (21 Earth years), Eymen officially became a Squire of the Anglican military, yet he would not do much for quite a while, it was a relative period of peace in Don Anglon, where he was stationed. Until one day, raiding ships from the domain of Erellon came to the coasts, as they so often did, and the group Eymen was located in were sent out to deal with them. Out of all the squires at play Eymen showed a particular skill and bravery noticed amongst his superiors and fellow soldiers. After the battle he was praised for his valiant effort. This cycle would repeat many times until he was promoted to Knight. He kept fighting, never losing determination even as a Knight.  

Demon Skirmish of Lustrewen

In 778 GA, Eymen was stationed outside of Lustrewen, the capital of Anglon when a messenger came in on horse back warning them of a band of demons that came through the portal and were going towards the city. Eymen prepared alongside his collogues, where they stood their ground waiting for the demon hoard. When the hoard attacked, the men there showed no mercy to them, defending the city with all their might, and for some, even their lives. Yet Eymen survived and so his victory in battle earned him a final promotion, one to a High Templar, one of the most elite units in all of Anglon, specialising in religious wars and protection against demonic threats. Shortly after gaining this position, Eymen had a family friend - who was a blacksmith - forge him a weapon, a scythe made out of the finest metals, which Eymen imbued with a part of his soul, giving it a holy energy, he named it Blind Justice.  

Grace-Given Family

Eymen remained in this position his entire life, achieving his dream of protecting his land with the highest glory. He had neglected much of his personal life until now, which he decided to focus on for a little while, meeting a fair few people and reconnected with many more. He eventually met a women one day, who would eventually become his wife in 782 GA, a few years later in 785 GA, Eymen had his one and only child, named Erhan.  

False Judgement

Much like Eymen in his youth, Erhan idolised his father, wanting to live up to him, yet unlike Eymen not as a knight, but as a priest. The boy grew through his life, eventually becoming a Reverent of the church, much like his grandmother. To Eymen's dismay, his son came back from a holy trip to the kingdom of Ironfront talking about a proclaimed Demigod of Light. It seemed fine to Eymen at first, yet the more he listened to it the more it didn't add up with his memory. Upon eventually meeting this so called Demigod of Light, calling himself the Hallowed Knight, all doubt was expelled from Eymen's mind. His son had fallen into an imposter's cult, and no matter what he did there was no rescuing him from it.   Erhan's actions had disappointed Eymen greatly, the two growing ever more distant yet his son never losing the love for his father. However this doesn't disturb Eymen's work in the Templars, he had continued to prove himself capable, eventually gaining the nickname of "Demon's Terror" both amongst demons and knights alike. He never wanted to stop fighting, yet eventually he had to, as old age struck him in 810 GA, and he had to retire. He spent the last days within his family home, where he was born and grew up, and where he now lay in his old age.  

A Quiet End

In 855 GA, Eymen was found to have passed away peacefully in his sleep, his belongings and weapon being kept in the family home, for relatives to take care of and preserve. Many mourned his death, even his son who he had not seen in years. And many more remembered him as one of the great soldiers Anglon has had.
