Thormund Typhest
Stormblood
These Pacurans are of tanned skin, dark complexions and long black hair. They come from Typhon and are the Stormblood family that rules over the island. Their armor is a distinct black and gold and Typhon has the largest standing military of all the islands of Pacura. They make their money as they are hired out to help other nations boost their numbers with the prolific Typhon soldiers. Those that don't fight work in mines or tend to the islands livestock and shipyards. The Typhest family have been known for being cruel and fearsome. They take care of their own but have a reputation for their tough exterior. The weapons and armor are forged with the metal found in the mines. The people of Typhon are strong-willed, tough and militaristic.
Adonis' phylactery was able to be carried on your person or stored a nation away and it could still keep you alive. This ancient artifact's last known whereabouts was only 30 years ago when it ended up on the island of Typhon. Thresh, the stormblood at the time used it to increase his power and bring him immortality so he could conquer Pacura. When the mutiny revolution started to take a turn for the worse, Thresh was about to enter a ceremony to imbue himself with eternal life. In that instant, one of his most trusted men, as those were the only people allowed in this secret ceremony, stole the device to never let it be used again. This man is an unknown foot soldier in the Typhon army but this act almost single handedly ended the war as the mutineers held their ground and Thresh went insane after he tasted immortality. He eventually killed himself and his wife, leaving his only son Thormund to watch.
Who was this soldier to stole the device? No one knows but it is said his unmarked grave is lost somewhere in Pacura.
A Typhon born commoner resented how all his family and friends supported this war for the Pacuran Throne. He stowed away at a young age to join Captain Mortimer's revolution. He was about 18 at the time. This commoner was not trusted by anyone because he was from Typhon. Captain Mortimer asked why he was here and he said that his island was the first one taken over by fascism. He watched everyone he knew blindly support the propaganda about the revolution but he had witnessed too much death and killing to think he was on the right side of history.
This man was Henri Sallya. Mortimer put more trust in him than anyone else, Henri took journal entries for the leader of the revolution as well as talked him through his battle plans. 5 years into the rebellion, Morty asked henri to do something that no one will remember him for, but it will help save the world. He needed him to go deep undercover, back into the typhon army so he could destroy an artifact rumored to have been found by Thresh, stormblood of Typhon. They would maroon him as a POW near Typhon, have him be brought into the war as a worker under a ship. It was then up to henri to gain their trust and climb the ranks of the fascist army. Henri began digging deeper into a hole of no return. A year of working under a ship lead to a terrible sea battle. The workers were dying all around him as the legendary Golden Fleece took down the dhow they were working on. The stormblood of Kyra, Quinn's mother was about to put the killing blow into a major general in the Typhon army. Henri killed the powerful captain and ended the assault as her soldiers ran. The general, was Thresh's teenage son, Thormund.
Thresh awarded the lowly deck worker with a raise and promotion. Henri was now the letter writer to the leader of this war. Henri read every letter, trying to find information on the artifact. Certain letters were addressed for thresh eyes only. He continued working undercover and gaining favor with Thresh. Eventually, to keep up the ruse, henri accepted a dinner date with a lovely Typhon woman, he didnt love her for her views on genocide and power were too in line with Thresh. Within a year, henri married this woman in a grand wedding with many of the highest ranking generals of the army. Before he sailed off to his island honeymoon, his new bride's father asked him to come to a meeting of the top minds in the Typhon army. There were 12 men in this secret meeting, 4 from each Typhon gyaron and zephyr, they discussed unheard of things to the soldiers of the army. How they intentionally leave men to die so they can attack back stronger in other battles, also new weapons. They discuss the work is almost finsihed on activating the philactery. They found the fuel needed is Essence. Raw magic that flows under most of the Pacuran islands, because of the godly nature on how they were created. Another 2 years pass and henri now had twins, a boy and a girl with his harpy of a wife. He has not heard from the revolution in years but still held onto his morals. Morty has no idea if his man has turned. Finally the philactery was activated and thresh gained inhuman strength and immortality. Henri was at the ceremony. He betrayed his Typhon family and honored the revolution he believed in. He stole the philactery and ran off, taking a boat and sailing into the sea. He was chased by the fleet of the 3 nations. He crashed near the coral reefs of Kinaros as he ran from Typhon. His body was never found as he kept the philactery on his person. He was found by a lone merelf swimming by the island. This elf walked his body up onto the land and buried his body in an unmarked grave. The merelf is Mako's father, Tiburan. Mako stayed home to wait for his mom but she was actually saved by her estranged husband when the tsunami rolled in.
was well fed but still muscular. He wore a fancy black shirt with a white vest over top, his hat was that of a sea-faring captain. The hat was large enough that the shadows created blocked out his face. This man's peg leg was made from metal unlike Ivan's wooden peg.
Took over Turin for a while
Diggory and his people had been slaughtered by a new adversary. Lord Thormund, Stormblood of Typhon, the island with the largest army.
As Thormund firebombed the island, the party ran to Diggory's Tortuga.
After an obelisk puzzle and a battle atop the spire, the party embarrasses Lord Thormund using a charm spell. A Zephyr soldier takes the baby in a carriage and rides for the docks.
Through the power of Sossori's death, Henri and Moira were teleported onto the Blackfly. Max sailed by with his fiancée alongside him and took his daughter. He sailed off saying the mutiny will stay strong and take the islands back from Thormund and Borigan.
1. Thormund of Typhon seeks ultimate power in which his father was too weak to control.
The Krakatoa mountain began erupting as Thormund amounted his forces
saw the Pit in the distance.
saw Lord Thormund rallying his army hiddeen on the estern shore of the island. parent owl griffons saved you because you saved their babies.
As you planned how you were going to get into the prison, a ship of prisoners arrived with Dex being chained up, he winks at Moira.
Thunderous footsteps could be heard as Lord Thormund marched his black and gold army towards the Pit.
On separate levels, Moira and Olivier, Triss and Morty all hear explosions coming from the upper levels.
All the trio and their new acquaintances meet on the lowest level. Arygos and Triss go see the cage, Triss begins yelling at the beast to a low chuckle in response. He roof explodes as ballistas shoot chains down from the floor above. Black and gold clad men slide down as the party can see inmates running towards the lifts and climbing. The prison gates have been broken open by Thormund.
The collapsed ceiling knocks large chunks of rock in front of the large jail cell. Everyone piles into the lift as a loud thud is heard from behind the door. A large dark elf kicks open the cage and shatters the rocks. This is Jericho the Dark Sun Elf, known as the beast and the new leader of the Triade.
The impact that broke the seal of the Pit, an ancient magic, was a combination of the anti magic creation made by Ictic and Pyrus launching a mssive fire ball.
Pyrus had left the volcano after the team's escape and joined Thormund's ranks.
Now Pyrus, Jericho, Thormund and Borigan were all together to fight against the new Royal Pacuran Navy.
Max almost lost the war after the Kraken's hull was pierced and the Golden Fleece was in disarray as Quinn was captured.
As the Onyx Stallion came in to ram the Howling Porpoise as large creature came out of the deeps. This was a sea dragon, massive in size. Dragons were a rarity in Galfin. Max turned his ship around and charged the stallion as the dragon leaped overtop of the ship. Many saw this a true sign that Max was destined to be the ocean king as this creature seemingly attacked his targets.
The Typhon men abandoned ship as Quinn leapt from Thormund’s ship over to Max's. She jumped again to Iggy driving her ship. He cut her loose as she chased after the S.S. Tempest. The Moonbreaker and Bone Rattler had turned and ran as the allies circled the large galleon. Borigan and Pathos jumped to the Rosebud, one of the fastest ships as the tempest sunk under the water. They escaped towards the mainland.
The battle settled as Max, Ivan, Cortez and Valda returned to the island of Hydri where Sossari, Triss, Arygos and Joseph walk out of the tomb. The suns shines as everyone gathers on Hydri for the coronation of Maximus the Ocean King.
Session 0 - 5E, 211th year. 1st day of Firstfrost.
You were able to rally the troops and get many Stormbloods to join forces with the rebel Maximus who was already brandishing the nickname of the Ocean Prince from his fellow revolutionaries. As you fought inside the tomb, Max was leading his newly formed Pacuran Royal Navy against Borigan and Thormund's Fleet of the Stormblood.
You won the day although one of your friends betrayed you in the end and stole the phylactery.
You killed Claire and listened as a loud shrieking roar came from outside.
You make your way outside the tomb to the bright light of the Pacuran sun beaming orange light upon the salty ground. On the shore are bodies and driftwood from the carnage of the battle that took place while you fought inside. Max's ship could be seen in the center of many allies you had made along the way.
Your old friend Mako was aboard the Howling Porpoise, captained by the ocean prince Maximus. Mother Maggie the innkeeper was walking around mending the wounds of the injured wayfarers.
Ivan and his family, as well as Merdock and the crew fought together on the Kraken. Along the starboard side of the large galleon, you could see a large hole punctured in the side of the ship with green acid pouring from the hull. This room was formerly home to the Venom Maw Hydra who was Morty's pet. Parsellax died in battle against Lord Borigan after the Zephyrn stormblood retreated from the fight for the phylactery.
A red painted Drakaar (viking longship) bearing the emblem of a hammer forging handcuffs sailed next to the Kraken, dwarfed by its size but filled with just as many warriors. Valda led the Wardens and Stewards of Gyaron on board her late husband's ship the Red Dagger. The last she saw of her two boys Itchee and Tumble was when Lord Borigan ordered Pyrus to take them away. The boys were not in sight aboard any of the ships. Captain Gorbashav could be seen on this ship with a harpoon through his shoulder.
Iggy the Delicious Iguana Jam salesman came out of retirement to be the second mate on the Golden Fleece, this was Quinn's ship. As the ships returned to the Hydri port, Iggy was steering Quinn's ship. Lady Winella of Kinaros could also seen aboard this ship.
A ship you recognized as the Tortuga also sailed for the Pacuran Royal Navy. Although the ship was now covered in fungus as Cortez rallied his myconid minions from Fishrot Hollow to become his crew. Also on board was his wife Nocturna and oddly enough DIckard, the goblin whom Henri forced to do combat to become a member of the Gobsnapper. He was last seen jailed on Kyra so how he ended up with a spore growing on his shoulder and mindlessly following his sovereign Cortez' orders is beyond you.
During your battle, Quinn was captured by Claire and sent back to Thormund's ship, somehow Quinn was able to not only escape her confinements but took over the Onyx Stallion, Thormund's father's ship that he commandeered after the party stole and crashed his brig known as the Blackfly. Thormund could be seen in handcuffs next to Quinn. All of his main recruits were killed by the party in the tomb. Dimitri the priest, Fimbulwinter the winter werewolf and Claire the captain of the goldguard. He also lost the serial killer Dex.
The S. S. Tempest could been seen in the distance with a hole the size of an elephant carved through it's hull, the legendary ship was sinking to the bottom of the Arid Sea with steam coming from the wood. Lord Borigan was nowhere to be seen. In the vast distance you could see 3 ships sailing away. A large purple ship known the the Moonbreaker sailed towards the volcanic mountains of the Firefang Jags, the towering mountain range could be seen silhouetted above the clouds even on the island nation of Pacura. Jericho captained this ship with his rejuvenated Triade of the Fallen Night, Moasis was last seen in the clutches of Jericho. The bone decorated ship known as the Bone Rattler sailed East towards the distant nation of Hearthen, Itchee and Tumble were last seen with Pyrus. Finally the Rosebud, the ship once owned by Olivier before you murdered him by suffocation inside a bag of holding. This ship was captained by Davos, the Merelf fighting alongside Borigan and Pathos. The rosegold ship sailed towards the Caluan Desert province on the mainland.
As the ships sail in, Quinn congratulates you on preventing Thormund and Borigan from obtaining the power of the phylactery. She questions you on where it is. She says that she hates her father for leaving but mostly for choosing to kill her mother Kindra. She says she will tell Maximus what happened and have the history of Henri Sallya corrected across the history books.
Mako comes to talk to you about the battle. When all seemed lost, an ocean dragon leapt from the water and followed Max's lead. This confirmed to many onlookers that he was meant to unite the island nation. He speaks frank for a moment and confesses that in the moment Max was just as confused as anyone. Dragons of all types are a rarity within Galfin, most lay dormant and send their minions to do their bidding. He doesnt know why but that random dragon turned the tide of the battle.
It scared the blackguard off of Thormund's ship which allowed Condor, Ivan's oldest son to swing across and free Quinn. Just as her mother did 30 years before, the Stormblood of Kyra faced against Thormund on the greatest sea battle in recorded history. She took his ship and captured the tyrant. At least his son will have a mother to raise him, Claire is a fierce fighter but also a loving woman.
Arygos reveals that Claire died fighting for the phylactery.
Borigan jumped from ship as the ocean dragon blasted a cone of scalding water at his galleon, destroying it in one blow. This was crucial as the Kraken had suffered a major blow with the loss of Parsellax.
This battle is being dubbed as the Rising Tempest, as this will be the first time since Oceanus Tempest himself gave equal birthright to his 10 children that there will be an undisputed leader of the seas.
A coronation was held on Hydri, the first home of Oceanus and where the King's Tomb is located. All the remaining Stormbloods gathered to bless the rise of a new Ocean King.
Diggory of Eidon, as well as his only son were killed by Eelisma and Thormund. A few remaining citizens that lived through the hellfire as well as some of the mudguards arrived to bear witness. Miles the Mudman could be seen behind the crowd selling mud pies.
Quinn of Kyra, assisted on her casted leg by Condor. She was wounded by the powerful Lord Thormund in the Battle of the Rising Tempest.
Maximus of Hydri, wearing the ancient ceremonial armor of his ancestor. Next to his wife and child, Kricia and Illia. The soon to be crowned Ocean King.
Kricia of Milos, is soon to be crowned the Ocean Queen so her younger sister Krysta becomes the new Stormblood. Krysta stood next to her older sister in awe of what had happened in a few short months.
Ivan of Ios, Stormblood with his mainland wife Raven and their family. They had workers carefully lay Parsellax to rest on the hills of Hydri. Cortez was next to his old captain Ivan and being uncharacteristically quiet.
Winella of Kinaros, accompanied by her granddaughter Winni. Both looked elegant as they represented two different generations of rulers of Pacura. Brunhild of Gyaron, holding the hand of her battle weary mother Valda. Brunhild is the oldest daughter of Tayne, she is clearly distraught as she holds her tears in check over her missing brothers and dead father.
Eelisma of Basilika, killed by Henri Sallya is without an heir. Maximus will decide what to do with this island now that the war is over. Rumours are of a shrine honoring Sootha, something that should have been on all the islands as she was all the stormblood's great ancestor.
Therakles of Typhon, a young 3 year old bears a heavy weight as he can see his father chained up for his crimes. He is quietly crying out for his mother. A caretaker holds his hand and comforts the boy.
Borigan of Zephyr, escaped aboard the Rosebud towards the mainland, no living heir to dispute Maximus' claim.
The Stormbloods walks up except Winella, she quietly passes the mantle of leader onto her 20 year old grandaughter, Winny. Winella places the blue flag into her heir's hand then the old woman places her hand on top of Winy's to close it gently.
Each Stormblood brings their blue flag of parlay and places it at their king's feet, giving their loyalty to follow him as one nation. Each of the 6 remaining Stormbloods: Quinn, Winny, Krysta, Brunhild, and Therakles hold their blues flags emblazoned with the symbol of their individual nation.
Conch shells blare as the new king is sworn in. Azalea, Iggy's wife from Kyra, is the designated keeper of the kings armor as well as his weapon. Her family has kept these treasures safe for generations. She gave him the armor when it was clear that his claim would not be contested by the overwhelming amount of stormbloods you helped gather on his side.
As the conch songs settled, she approached him with a dark silver trident that had rosegold tips atop its spikes. She gifted him the Imperious Trident, a weapon his ancestor used to free the ancient men from oppression. He carefully takes it from the citizen of his nation and closes his eyes. He lifts the trident up as the new Ocean King.
"All Pacurans are whole once more, for the first time in 10 generations our people unite under one Pacuran banner. Any who seek to seperate us will feel the wrath of the sea itself.
I wear this armor to show I am here to defend my country. This trident is meant to show my power over the ones I rule. I am not Thormund, Borigan, Branahan or Thresh. You the people are my power for I would not be here without you. I promise to use the power you have given me to allow Pacura a seat in the hall of kings where we will receive our fair share within the High King's quarters. You the people are why I stand before you now. This weapon is a sacred piece of our history and I accept this gift". Maximus looks to Therakles, he then looks to his cousin Thormund.
"You are charged with treason against your king and against your people, with the power given to me by my blood, the justice distributed to me through the 6 kings of Galfin, the heart you stole from the people of Eidon and the duty passed down through our great ancestor, I sentence you to death."
Maximus stabs thormund through the chest. Three puncture wounds easily cut through Thormund's black and gold armor. Max picks up the blue flags of parlay, wipes the blood from his trident with the flag bearing the Typhon logo and hands it down to Therakles. Max leans down to the boy and says "In the name of Pacura, I grant you permission to live. For boys are not guilty of their fathers mistakes."
Thormund lay on the ground spitting up blood. Maximus looked to Ivan, who hated Thormund, Maximus nodded as Ivan took out his cutlass and decapitated Thormund.
He then walks around the circle and gives the flags back to their respective Stormbloods.
The ceremony wraps up as Max makes his way over to the party.
Killed by The Great Eagle. This was done at the behest of the new Oceanking.
