History

Early Life

Unlegitimate son of Calia von Verurteilung, Lewis spent the majority of his youth isolated with his father, hiding from the world. His bloodline, if discovered would bring shame to his mother, and never could he dare to speak of it.   Even as a bastard son, Lewis was loved by both his father and mother, and he grew up in a comfortable environment, in a large house in the countryside, a place where he never lacked anything. Her mother could only rarely visit him, and his father had to educate him on his own. From a young age, Lewis was trained, his father fearing that his bloodline would be discovered and that his son would have to fight for his life.   Fortunately, when Lewis' bloodline was discovered, it was because his mother finally officially recognized him, and his father was elevated as a noble. The young man now had new responsibilities, that of carrying the von Verurteilung name and acting as a noble, something that he surprisingly was quite proficient at.   Later, Lewis got enarmored of Mya Brownoak, and the two of them got married, and had an only son, Faust von Verurteilung. A few years after the birth of Faust, the relationship between Lewis and Mya deteriorated, and the two decided to divorce.  

Lone Father

Lewis engaged in a battle for custody against Mya, deeming her unfit for motherhood after the tumultuous events that culminated in their divorce. Eventually, he secured custody of their son, Faust, ensuring the young boy grew up in affluence and privilege. However, this privileged upbringing resulted in a haughty and disconnected son.   In 1134 AD, driven by frustration and a desire to instill a sense of reality in Faust, Lewis, in a fit of anger, cast his son out of the mansion. He sternly instructed Faust to learn the true value of life before daring to return and face the family once more. But soon after Faust is believed to have died at the hands of Elven Rebels.  

Trade and War

Fire elemental started to appear all over the Imperial plains. Tana's Empire army swiftly mobilized, gathering soldiers from the Kingdom of Vale, the Duchy of Freed, and the Kingdom of Qwir. The united forces marched towards the Wood of the Vale, as magicians pinpointed the source of the problem in that location.   Empire spies had gathered comprehensive information about the rebels, leading the imperial forces to focus their efforts on rooting out and eliminating the insurgents in the forest. Lewis, Faust's father, joined the campaign as part of a delegation of noblemen in the army camp.   The siege on the forest commenced, with the imperial army encircling the area. Without Reyth's formidable power to counter them, facing the combined might of the army, with only a group of adventurers and the green enchantress, proved to be an arduous task.   Faust's noble lineage proves to be advantageous as he recognizes his father, Lewis, among the noble delegation. Despite their strained relationship since Faust's parents' separation and subsequent rejection due to his haughty behavior, Faust uses his nobility to secure an audience with Lewis and other military commanders.   In the meeting, Lewis is visibly moved upon learning that his son is not only alive but also bearing the scars of battle. Pride and regret mix in his eyes as he expresses sorrow for casting Faust away, especially now knowing the perilous situation it led his son into.   The interview sheds light on the rebels' perspective, alerting the army to the imminent danger they pose. As this information is disseminated. The revelation and ensuing discussion shift the army's approach and understanding of the rebels' motivations.
