Chapter 1 - Introduction

October 16,1867

On the planet Elysium in the country of Namor. It was a dark and quiet night in the year of 1867 in the middle of fall. The city of Lycan was a decent sized town with a population of roughly 30,000. In the center of the city stood a mansion with a massive garden surrounding the house. A few guards could be seen patrolling the area around the walls around the city as well as the castle in the center along with the streets outside the house.

Meanwhile inside the house was a pale looking but still very beautiful woman. Who just finished giving birth. Holding her child in her arms she looks down and says to the baby while smiling "You're a beautiful boy. You were worth all that trouble and then some. I just know you'll grow up to be strong, maybe even stronger than your father. Now for a name. I'll name you Lucas Alexander White".

The father enters the room soon after with a worried look on his face. He's a stocky looking man a little over 6 foot with a dark tan. He's neither handsome or ugly but bags are visible under his green eyes from late nights of work. He looks at her and says " I got here as fast as I could did everything go ok". The mother smiles and holds the baby up to show him while saying "Lucas Alexander White meet your father Alexander Traymore White". Joy instantly appeared on his face and he said "A boy!!"

The mother, tired from the delivery, hands the baby to him and nods her head says "I'm gonna rest now my love" He nods his head and chuckles then says " Have you told our boy your name yet? " Surprised by the question she smiles and looks at Lucas saying " My dear Lucas my name is Luna Ray White and I am your mother. " as if to respond to this Lucas then opens his eyes for the first time which were a light grayish blue color like no other.

The mother smiles and closes her hazel eyes. The mother had blonde hair with tan skin not as dark as her husbands but even after childbirth she was the most beautiful woman Alexander had ever seen. Alexander says to Lucas "You are a tenth generation werewolf. Our ancestors were one if the first wolfs to walk this land you will have all that is mine someday." Lucas then starts to cry a maid then steps forward from the corner of the room as if to take the baby and says "Lord do you wish to go back to your battle plans and other paperwork. I can take him if you want sir". Alexander smiles and shakes his head no and then says " No Matilda I have some time for my family for now the plans and other work will still be there tomorrow. At least I hope or I will have some explaining to do" he said then chuckled lightly .

Matilda was fair skinned and and older than Alexander by about 10 years she had brown hair and brown eyes their was nothing special about her besides the fact the lord Alexander freed her from a slave merchant and began following him because she felt indebted to him. Although he told her numerous times that she was free to do as she pleases. He eventually just agreed to hire her on as a maid.

Within a month of his birth Lucas' mother would die from an illness. Werewolves are immune to most diseases but it's still possible for them to fall ill under certain circumstances. Such as being overexerted from childbirth. His father would busy himself with work barely eating or sleeping only stopping to see his son. His son was the only reason he made it after his wife fell ill. After the death of his wife he shut himself off from everyone but his only son. He would go and see her grave everyday for a year and would talk to her about their child after a year. He started visiting the grave less and less.

During this time the city fell under a gloomy atmosphere for the next couple years until Alexander started becoming more like his old self. This was in fact due to his son. Though the city lord was a stocky man he was a very kind hearted and a caring person. If you didn't know of him you would be scared and feel intense pressure when close to this man as he carried an aura of authority. His people all respected him and his loyal soldiers all tried to please him to help ease his burden through this time.

The servants and soldiers at the house enjoyed watching the young master grow up over the next 8 years. He was a happy child and was eager to learn swordsmanship. Lucas was also very eager to hear stories from the different guards and servants about his father fighting in different battles. Much to his fathers dismay. Lucas would continue this habit for years to come.

There are 10 major cities not counting the capital in the country of Namor. Lycan is one of them. There are 15 noble houses in the country of Namor. The only way to become a noble unless born into, or married into, is to achieve great accomplishments and heroic acts in times of war or if you help your country in an outstanding way. Namor is located towards the south end of the continent. Its weather is hot in the summer and warm in the spring and in fall it starts to cool. In winter it snows. Some years there are even blizzards.

Namor is mostly located on fertile farm land so most nobles own several farming establishments to bring in income. Others by the border have contracts for protecting the borders from attacks. Others are merchants who run trade caravans to other cities and even countries. Those closer to the capital city of Knight deal with more shop related income. As well as those who own port cities. Although rare, some territories even have dungeons they use as a source of income. On the eastern part of Namor They mine the mountains that help protect their borders. Looking for valuable metals and ores. To forge weapons with or sell to merchants. Namor consisted of thick forest, as well as mountains, and plains. Water was never an issue since each territory had at least one river, some even had a few small lakes.
