⚜ History

Isabelle is one of the Queen’s nieces who, for the past two years, has graced her kingdom with her presence. Despite her hot-headedness, the Queen enjoys Isabelle’s company for she is smart, eloquent, and quite fiery, just like the Queen herself. The Queen sees herself in her young niece and treats her like one of her own.

Isabelle was born in Baden-Württemberg, just outside the Queen’s palace to the Queen’s sister who is more private and reserved of the two. Isabelle, like any other member of the royalty and the kingdom, lived the tradition the kingdom has to uphold.

On her 18th birthday, Isabelle was granted a slave, courtesy of the Queen. Her first trainee was a young princess from France, Brigitte.  Brigitte proved to be a very submissive princess, making Isabelle’s first experience training such a pleasure. Unfortunately, after a year, Brigitte had to return home after learning the news of her father’s sickness. Isabelle then remained in the palace on the Queen’s order, furthering her lessons in training other princes and princesses that came from neighboring kingdoms.

Toward the end of the year, Isabelle was given another trainee, a Prince this time, from Bulgaria. The young man, who was two years older than Isabelle, was incredibly stubborn and insisted on defying the young Princess. Not used to such rebellious acts, Isabelle’s punishments were quite harsh, often done in the heat of the moment and without much thought. One day, after ignoring her orders, the Bulgarian Prince decided to hide from Isabelle, pushing the young woman’s patience. Upon finding the young Prince, Isabelle punished him, accidentally drawing blood from the Prince in the process. This, of course was brought up to the Queen’s attention who did not tolerate abuse of any kind to her guests, especially the princes and princesses who came to her kingdom as tribute to her. Despite the fact that it broke the Queen’s heart, she had to send Isabelle away to town for her own punishment.

Isabelle was to be auctioned to the townspeople and the highest bidder who claims her will train her as they see fit. Only when she has learnt her lesson will she be able to return to the castle. Always a young trainer, Isabelle is not quite sure of the punishment she can expect to receive. Naturally rebellious herself, she’s vowed to fight her new owner tooth and nail, seemingly forgetting all the things she learned from the Queen and the older trainers she’s known.

⚜ Personality

Isabelle is a virgin herself, despite being exposed to the free sexual activities in the castle and around the kingdom. Isabelle doesn’t believe in romance per se, but she does believe that there is a right time for everything, including losing her virginity to the right person. Isabelle is smart, logical, and very well educated; so much so that she sometimes comes off as arrogant. She doesn’t have a lot of friends but she is very close with her cousins, Jasmine, Lucas, and Mathias.

⚜ History

The power is in your hands. These are the words Barana lived by, a principle different from his peaceful tribe that once flourished a big part of Hispaniola where Barana once lived.

Born from the blood line of great caciques [chiefs] from Hispaniola [modern day Colombia and Haiti,] Barana carried the legacy of his blood as he was considered one of the most feared pirates and a great leader of the time.

Barana came to world to one of the biggest islands of Hispaniola and was raised among seafaring people who mostly lived on fishing although some thrived farming on top of the mountains in the center of the island. Barana was brought up in a loving family; mother, father, older and younger siblings who lived a simple life alongside their peaceful tribespeople. Things however changed when a millennia old war raised among tribes inhibiting the islands reached their unsuspecting group. Taínos were peaceful people; their chief ruled for peace and comfortable living. Caciques were picked by the people and they were chosen fit to lead their tribe based on wealth instead of strength in terms of combat like most tribes in the islands would base it on.

Their caciques peaceful nature and wealthy leadership it turned out were the weaknesses that later on was used by the other tribe to overpower the Taínos. It was the event the young Barana witnessed and will never forget for as long as he lived.

Barana lost his family to the war and for a short period of time lived with his parents' murderers, his tribe's enemies, as a young slave. Some would think that Barana's survival was a blessing. Luck that came from the gods who the tribe believed would watch over them, protecting them from those who wanted to harm them. A slave's life is not a life for anybody, especially a young child. The mental anguish it brought breaks down the soul, takes away their will, their power, even their identity. But Barana didn't believe in luck or he longer believed in the gods. Why cast faith on someone, something, a being he never once witnessed physically, when it failed him? He was young yes, physically unfit to fight his enemies but he was smart and patient... His time to avenge his family will come. But for the time being he thought of his survival and the life thrust upon him and how he'd use it for the sake of his tortured people. He devised his escape, leaving behind his fellow Taíno children were captured like himself. They were too scared, too shocked to move from where they were shackled down as if they’ve accepted their fate. Not Barana. He wiggled his feet out of his shackles until they were raw and when he found the opportunity, he ran. He ran until he couldn't run anymore. His mind was cloudy and confused but it knew where to take him. His aching feet returned him to his home, at the tribe where he grew up and learned things that in the future will shape up the man he was going to be. Barana found a few tribes men who survived the attack from the other tribe. They were familiar faces who lit up at the sight of him. He then broke down and told the others where they were taken and where the children and women were kept. The men planned to attack, they might be peaceful people but they are great fighter. Brave, honorable, the Taínos bite back when shoved and pushed around. But despite the great effort to bring back the rest of the tribe that were captured they were too late. Their children and women were taken to the island's capital where they were sold to foreigners who then shipped their new slaves with their cargo back to their land.

The Taínos including Barana couldn't make any of it; the cruelty and inhumanity. They returned to their home which didn't feel like home anymore and decided to take on the waters. The gods of the sea are prosperous gods and will provide, they always said, broken by the tragedy but couldn't blame their mountain gods for what had occurred. Not Barana. He had no problem questioning his faith and the fate of his people. At a very young age of 11 he learned to only believe in what a person is capable of doing. The power is in the man's hands, not in the spirits that lived in the lands and the seas. The power to build, to break and to take are in his hands and throughout the years that's what he did. He built and built with the rest of his tribe, living in a ship that sailed and docked on different ports, trading the goods they made themselves. Later on, they heard of other ships that had precious cargos and the talk of slaves aboard such ships interested the Taínos, especially Barana who was then at age of 17. Young, fit, and hungry for revenge, he made himself be heard by his people. He wasn't a cacique - he didn't have the wealth a regular cacique would've possessed to earn the title but he had the blood and most of all he had the strength. The power. The essential tools their last cacique lacked that failed their tribe. Among them now were men who were farmers, fishermen; wrinkled by time they no longer possessed the stamina they used to have when they were Barana's age. And Barana, he was the most outstanding member of the tribe. One of the youngest but most definitely the smartest. His effort was always seen, his intentions might not be always pure but they are mostly for the benefit of the tribe. He was the leader they needed but before they realize this Barana knew he had to prove himself. And so he did.

Barana suggested a daring act against one of the shipped that docked at the port they were currently visiting. The Taínos were well-known in this part of the island, good traders and peaceful people. The elders wanted to keep it that way to avoid conflict; to avoid attention to them and possibly to get themselves haunted down by their old enemies. That sparked Barana's interest. Let their enemies chase them so they can have their revenge. He still pictured his mother's agony as one of the raiding tribesmen drove a knife into her heart. Let them chase us. Barana was quickly quiet down when he suggested to sneak in the other ship which they heard carried slaves from the neighboring island. No one could confirm of course if this was true or not. And Barana wanted – needed - to know. And if it was true, then, he said, they must do something about it. He reminded his people of what happened to their own tribe not so long ago; their women and children taken away to be sold as slaves. Barana might've not been able to wake up the fire from their elders but the younger members of their clan very well remembered and to them, it was still new wound that throbbed with a slight touch. That same night, Barana rounded up a few of the young Taínos, sneaking into the vessel that supposedly carried the slaves. It wasn't an easy task; it was dangerous and stupid but proved to Barana that the world is cruel and will stay cruel if people just sit and watch. And he wasn't going to sit and watch. Not anymore. In the vessel marked by a royal seal coming from the north were hundreds of slaves... Men. Women. Children. All bound and naked. The riot Barana and his men's act caused were great. Bloody but great. They freed the slaves who ran and jumped out of the ship within seconds their bounds were cut and loose. And as if it wasn't enough, Barana also decided to rob the ship of its gold and food and kill all the men aboard it. By the time Barana was done, the ship was in flames. He and the other young Taínos, some wounded, had awoken the elders sleeping in their own ship which they maneuvered away from the port. When asked what he had done, Barana replied, "What we should've done years ago."

Barana made his mark and claimed the title of cacique despite the elders disapproving of the crime Barana and the others bestowed upon the other ship. They worry that that the royalty who owned the ship will haunt them; make them pay for what they’ve taken from the ship and for the lives that were lost. And soon enough, their tribe's deeds spread out like forest fire and like the elders had predicted, they were deemed enemy of the law. But there were also good that came out of what they did… People of Hispaniola talked about the group of pirates that freed slave and that brought hope to those who victimized by the occupancy and old war.

But despite of what some might have considered a heroic act the law saw Barana and his tribe as nothing but menace and were no longer allowed in any ports in the islands. "The sea is endless," Barana would say. "And there's always another slave ship that'll come along our way..." And they always did.

⚜ Personality

Superstitions had long ago left Barana. He doesn't believe in the gods but in his people instead and of what they can do, what they can offer, and the power they possess to get where they need to get. He believed in second chances and often gave people this but he is ruthless when came to treason, violence against women and children. Trust is very important to Barana and he doesn’t give it easily. Barana cares a lot about his tribe, his only family. He would do anything and everything for them and they would do the same for him.

⚜ History

Appearances can be deceptive. What you see is definitely not what you get with Raven. She is a woman but she is no lady. She is an agile, fit and strong pirate. And those who know her, know that it is unwise to challenge her. She would cut out your tongue without batting a eyelid, feed it to the dogs before your very eyes and then smash down her cup on the table demanding for it to be filled with ale. She could drink many a man under the table, be a worthy opponent to many men in a sword fight and she is quick-tongued. Men are drawn to her pretty face and mess of jet black hair, but Raven is simply not interested, thinking they are only after one thing … her formative childhood years of being brought up in a brothel may play a heavy hand in her pre-formed assumptions of men and women alike. Women use their womanly wiles and body and can more or less get a man to do what they want by doing so, and men? Well, they seem to think women are good for one thing only, and they think with the organ in their pants and not the one embedded in their skull. 

Cynical? Judgmental? Stubborn? Yes, she is. Does she have a soft side? Maybe … very, very, very deep down, very few have had even the merest glimpse of it. 

All of this comes down to Raven’s childhood of course, her mother was a whore, a good one at that and her father …well, he could be any number of men that frequented the brothel where she worked. A brothel is not exactly the ideal place for a child to grow up, yet Raven was loved and pampered by all the women there, who all seemed to act as if they were her mother. They loved to dress her up and parade her around like a doll and they were fiercely protective of her. They all assumed that she would join them in the oldest profession when she came of age. As she began to blossom into a pretty young woman, she began to catch the eye of the sailors and pirates who came to the brothel. All the women that worked in the brothel assumed that she would join them in the oldest profession when she came of age. So, naturally, Raven’s childhood was unconventional but she still went to school. Sadly ,she was made fun of frequently by the other children, this made her angry so she quickly learned how to shut them up - with her fists.

Raven’s life took a turn for the better the day she met Barana, although she didn’t know it at the time. One fateful night, a seventeen year old Raven was returning from the market with a basketful of fruit and took a shortcut through a dark alleyway when she tripped up over a man that had seemingly passed out. He grabbed her ankle as she tried to get up and heaved his huge fat body on top of her pinning her down and tried to force himself upon her. Raven struggled but the man was too big and her dagger that she always carried had fallen out of her belt and across the ground to a spot she couldn’t reach. A shadowy figure came and picked up the man throwing him off her and beating him to a pulp whilst the shaken young girl watched. She barely managed to thank the man before he disappeared. Intrigued, she wanted to find out more about him so she asked questions to the people she knew and she ended up at the docks. Word was he had a ship, he was the captain, he was a pirate. Many did not want to expand on their knowledge therefore that was all she could find out. Raven took it upon herself and tracked him down and then followed him around asking, pleading, demanding that he took her with him, she wanted to be part of his crew. He refused. But once Raven got an idea in her head, she would do everything in her power to fulfill it. She found out that his ship was setting sail the next morning so she managed to get on board in the middle of the night and settled below deck in a small storage room. She wasn’t aware of how long she’d been in there till a young man found her in there asleep and yanked her out bringing her before the captain of the ship. The hooded cape she wore had been covering her identity but it was torn off her head as she was flung to her knees before Barana. From her lowly position she flicked back her hair and stared at him directly in the eyes, commanding attention, indignant, proud. She awaited her fate, expecting to be thrown overboard. But Barana didn’t do as she expected. He kept her onboard and she strived to prove herself to him and the crew as being a woman on a ship full of men is not easy but she learned how to survive the hard way. First she tried to blend in and be accepted as one of the crew, and shaved off her long black hair in the first few days aboard the ship in order to gain the respect of the men, her head remained shaved for a couple of years until she felt she had been accepted by the men as a worthy part of the crew. She also bound her breasts with yards and yards of cloth in a vain effort to try to flatten and conceal them. Besides these physical adjustments she also managed to prove over and over again that she could work, steal, fight and kill as good as, if not better than any man on the ship.

⚜ Personality

Raven is a self-sufficient young woman. She needs no-one and trusts no-one. She is skilled with a cutlass and lethal with a dagger. She is detached and unemotional. She is quiet and she tends to observe rather than participate. She trusts no-one, except her good friend Barana. She sees him as a brother and he is the only family she’s got beside her mother. She is very intelligent and intuitive, she is a quick learner and is good with her hands. A fighter by nature and stubborn, she doesn’t give up until she has what she wants. Despite her tough, masculine ways and demeanor she has an intrinsic femininity about her. The façade may be that of a woman with long waist length flowing black hair, a womanly body that appears soft and inviting but beware any man who tries to take advantage of her for they will truly learn what she is capable of. In the journey of self-discovery Raven has found it hard to accept her feminine side but decided to start to try to accept herself not for who and what she was, but for who and what she has become. A female pirate. 

Strength comes with knowing when to be Still and when to Strike.

     -----

house of bourbon

The pre-Capetian House of Bourbon was a noble family, dating at least from the beginning of the 13th century, when the estate of Bourbon was ruled by a Lord or Seigneur who was a vassal of the King of France. The term House of Bourbon or "Maison de Bourbon" could be used to refer to this first house and the House of Bourbon-Dampierre, the second family to rule the seigneury.

In 1268, Robert, Count of Clermont, sixth son of King Louis IX of France, married Beatrix of Bourbon, heiress to the lordship of Bourbon and from House of Bourbon-Dampierre. Their son Louis was made Duke of Bourbon in 1327. His descendant, the Constable of France Charles de Bourbon, was the last of the senior Bourbon line when he died in 1527. Because he chose to fight under the banner of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and lead a life of exile, his title was discontinued after his death.

However the junior line of the dukes of Vendôme remained, the ruling house of the Dukedom of Vendôme. The Vendôme branch were to become rulers of the Kingdom of Navarre on the northern side of the Pyrenees in 1555 and then of France, with Henry III of Navarre becoming Henry IV of France. From then on, they were simply called Bourbon, until the creation of cadet branches.

  Bourbon-l'Archambault

Bourbonnais

Its first known lord was Adhémar (or Aymar) in the 10th century AD. He acquired the castle of Bourbon (today Bourbon-l'Archambault) which gave its name to the family, the House of Bourbon.

The first House of Bourbon ended in 1200 with the death of Archambault VII. It left only one heiress, Mahaut de Bourbon, whose husband, Guy II of Dampierre, added Montlucon to the possessions of the lords of Bourbon, extending to the River Cher during the 11th and 12th centuries.

The second house of Bourbon started in 1218 with Archambault VIII, son of Guy II and Mahaut, and brother of William II of Dampierre. He was followed by his son Archambaut IX, who died in Cyprus in 1249 during a crusade. Bourbonnais was then acquired by the House of Burgundy.

In 1272, Beatrice of Burgundy (1258-1310), Lady of Bourbon, married Robert de France (1256-1318), Count of Clermont, son of king Louis IX (Saint-Louis). It was the beginning of the long-lasting House of Bourbon, providing kings of France from Henry IV through Louis-Phillipe in 1848, when monarchy was abolished in France.

The Bourbons had concluded an alliance with the royal capacity. They had put their forces at the service of the king, thus benefitting from the geographic position of Bourbonnais, located between the royal field and the duchies of Aquitaine and Auvergne. This alliance, as well as the marriage of Béatrix de Bourgogne and Robert de France, aided the rise and prosperity of the province. In 1327, it was set up as a duchy-peerage by king Charles (le Bel).

  Moulins, Allier

      House of Bourbon

The clan originated from the province of Bourbonnais in France. These people are conquerors. They expanded their wealth by taking in new towns and cities and marrying off their children to other royalties across their own kingdom. The tradition is old but the Bourbons take it to the extremes that they often disown their own who disobeyed the any rules the head of the house had set. The Bourbons are all about their duty to their clan, people, and land. They are tactical, patient and hotheaded at the same time. 

  House of Hollenzolern

    On top of the highest mountain in Southern Germany lies a kingdom that practices a system as old as the land itself. As a tribute to the kingdom’s beloved Queen, young royalties from around the world are sent to her doorstep for education and discipline. Only the Queen’s lessons are not quite what they expected…

  ------

Mathias of Hohenzollern

  Lukas of Hollenzolern

Lukas of Hohenzollern

  The eldest and only son of Queen Verena, Lukas is next in line to claim the kingdom’s throne. He is a bright young man, once full of energy and had a positive outlook on everything, Lukas changed after giving up his very first tribute. 

  Lukas had his first tribute after turning 18 six years ago. She was a stunning Swedish Princess named Katrin from the House of Vasa. Lukas grew up knowing everything about his kingdom's tradition; from taking in young royalties from all around the world to disciplining them, and it came so natural to him. He was the perfect young Master/Trainer. He had to be. After all, since he was the first born son of the Queen, he was bound to sit on the throne when the time is up. 

  He set an example to every trainer and tribute in the kingdom, both young and old, novice and experienced.

Katrin was the fruit of his work. Obedient and willing to please him at all times, she was the perfect tribute. The had a perfect partnership. Katrin who was very young then opened herself up to him and did everything he asked for without any questions. The partnership lasted for two years and with the Queen’s honor and blessing, Katrin was sent home after she was deemed ready.

  Without any surprise, the Queen’s decision was terribly hard for Lukas but he learned to control showing his emotions in regards to the matter. He didn't realize the attachment he had develop with Katrin. He was especially broken when Katrin did not show any sadness leaving her Trainer behind. Over time, Lukas decided that what he had with Katrin was nothing special. It was a tradition that needed to be uphold and they both did a great job accomplishing the Queen’s goals and that is to send home a changed royalty.

    --

  Alena of Hohenzollern

The Queen's youngest child and only daughter, Alena is unlike her cousin, her mother's favorite, Isabelle who is livelier, much more spontaneous, and adventurous.

Alena is shy and almost always distant. It wasn’t because the young princess is not friendly or social. In fact, inside, she was quite the opposite. She enjoyed the company of her cousins and even her own mother, the Queen. And she always longed for the company of new friends but while being exposed to the kingdom’s tradition she realized that people can have a strong bond with another person but that it wouldn’t last. 

She saw this happened first  hand when her older brother Lukas took in a tribute, a young princess, Eir from the House of Vasa. He knew how her brother took care of the young slave; how dedicated he was in training her but in the end, he didn’t get to keep her and had to send her back home after two years of living with her. Her brother Lukas never once talked about Eir but  she was aware how giving up the young princess changed something inside him. Every year she watched her brother take in new tributes but she never again saw the same spark he had when he had Eir around.

And this worried Alena. What if the same thing happened to her once it’s her time to take in tribute? And she waited; anticipated for the day that it would come only to regret it when it finally happened. She just turned 21 and the Queen, after all the years of debate over her age and how young she was 4 years ago to have her own slave, the Queen was finally allowing it. 

Alena was given a tribute; a young prince coming from the House of Vasa as well, to her surprise. Cousin to Eir, this young man was said to be the trouble in the household. Much older than Alena, she felt she was being put to test by her mother giving her such a hard person to train as her first trainee. Once alone with the young Vasa, Alena realized that he was far more dangerous that she originally thought and there was no way she would be able to handle him. And all the things she learned from observing others, and all the things that she worried about – caring too much for her tribute – it all went out the window when he opened his mouth and found he was the rudest person she’d ever met. 

But that was not the worst part of the whole story; she realized that he liked intimidating her and just like that, their roles were reversed…

Personality: Alena tend to worry too much sometimes but she has a very good head on her shoulders. She does get anxious quite easily but after it passes and her mind is clear, she always know which decision is right for her. She cares a lot for her family; even when she gets jealous that her mother favors her cousin Isabelle more than her, Isabelle remains her one true best friend. Alena craves affection but doesn’t draw attention to herself and tries to stay clear off people’s path. She is not easily annoyed but does not have patience with Mikael, her tribute from Vasa.

----

  During medieval times, there was only one kingdom that was known, not only for its rich, vast land, and noble men and women, but for a tradition as old as the land itself.

Every year, the Kingdom of Hohenzollern, which ruled Bradenburg and most of Prussia (old Germany) and reined by Queen Verena, welcomes tributes all over the world to experience Hohenzollern’s tradition of training and educating of-age royal children, through sacred, sexual enslavery. Young princesses and princes are sent to the Queen to participate in this tradition in exchange for incredibly disciplined noblemen and women as they are returned to their own kingdoms. 

  Once within the Queen’s kingdom, each tribute is stripped of their titles and from that point on, considered to be slaves. Any man or woman of the kingdom, serving the Queen, are then given the rights to handle, train, and educate the tributes in any way they see fit, as long as rules are being met and followed. 

  Not often the rules are followed and in these cases, trainers who broke the rules are put in the tribute’s place and sent to town for auction. There, townspeople who can afford to purchase a slave (and they come cheap) can own their very own tribute that they will train until they see fit that the tribute is ready to go back to the castle. Townspeople, like any other people, tributes and trainers alike, are bound by much stricter rules that they must obey. 

But nothing always go without any problems in the kingdom. Here and there bandits and pirates that pass through the land would like to make trouble and had been known to kidnap tributes and even townspeople. And this is one problem the Queen had the least pleasure dealing with…

    House of Breifne

The clan rooted from the Irish tribal group known as the Uí Briúin Bréifne. The original tribe strived in one of the highest points in Ireland - the hills of Breifne where the tribe and the clan’s name originated. The kingdom of Breifne flourished in the pasture farming industry accounting to the rich soil in the surrounding lands. The noblemen and women of Breifne are hard workers. They took pride in their livelihood, took good care of their own, and never once had any debts. They tend to have large families, often marrying off their children to children of family friends or children of kins taken into the family through marriage. The clan is very territorial. Men are trained for battle at the very early age. The men in the clan sometimes can be cold and unattached; results of dealing with other clans trying to take over their lands.

Everything about it, from taking in young royalities from around the world to disciplining them came so natural to him. But when it was time for him to step in and be part of the tradition, he felt he wasn't ready especially when he caught himself in awe and in great delight of the beauty before him. Katrin was exceptional, he thought. He'd never seen such a  beauty like her. Althought

Adhemar of Bourbon

  Adhemar is a nobleman from one of the prominent houses of the time, an empire that in the future would be ruling most of the land in France and Spain and the nearby kingdoms. But his heart does not lie with conquering any more kingdoms or ruling over people. He is a nomad by heart. Traveling for most of his life, he'd neglected the call of his family and his duty to father the future royalties that one day would rule their land. 

Adhemar sought more than carrying the name of his noble house. He sought for the truth. After all, according to many whom never got tired of re-telling the story, Adhemar is not a pure-blood Bourbon but actually the bastard son of the late King of Hohenzollern. 

The clan of course denied this to no end and Adhemar was raised by the king and queen of Bourbonnais with his 2 younger brothers and a younger sister. And anyone dared to talk or question the Prince's true blood line were either thrown in the dungeon or executed without any questions. 

Adhemar at the early age of 4 did not seem to be bothered by the gossip but he did question the truth especially when it was always pointed out that he looked more like the King's sister than his mother, the Queen. When he was old enough to travel, he left France and became a nomad, passing as Misael, a wanderer from the land of Spain. Fluent in French, Spanish, and German, no one ever questioned the prince incognito. Finally, he reached his destination, the kingdom of Hohenzollern where his supposed father ruled. He was barely 21 years old, a young man with an old man's gaze, he was welcomed to the court after revealing himself, the Queen then taking him in and informing him that the man he sought died a few years back, right after the former Queen died and that Princess Verena now ruled Hohenzollern. Adhemar, for some odd reason, requested to be taken in for a few days, the same time a shipment of tribute from the south of the continent was arriving. THe queen granted Adhemar's request and let the young royalty join in the welcoming of the kingdom's guests.

That was the beginning of Adhemar's involvement with the kingdom's tradition; a small glimpse of the world so different from his own made him want to stay in one place for the first time since he decided to leave his home and travel, having no specific destination. The Queen was thrilled to know that he was interested to know more about the tradition that obviously he hadn't heard about.

    Alan of Bourbon

  If Adhemar was the wayward son of Bourbon, Alan was the obedient, silent younger son who was adored by the many. But little did everyone know, Alan hid a side of him that no one expected he had. Alan took pleasure in pain both giving and receiving it; something Adhemar himself wasn't aware about. 

  Alan, much like his older brother Adhemar, grew up in a big family mostly consisted of sisters, dozens of cousins, uncles, and aunts. He was loved and very much so because he was not only handsome but very charming as well.
