Parents & Birth

Festino Silva

Festino Silva, an Eldian commoner, was the mother of Camestres Angolmois. Not much is known about her family or her past, but it is likely that she was of Pyrrhian descent, as her last name appears to be of the High Pyrrhian language.

Festino was known throughout Hightower (at that time it was called Winterhallow, and was a much smaller village) for her kindness and her beauty. She always extended her hand to help those in need, without prejudice. She was thoughtful and loving, and overall innocent. Sadly, aside from these features of her behavior and personality, not much else is known about her as a person.

Mauragraine Angolmois

Mauragraine Angolmois, a man of noble descent, who lived on Prospit, was the father of Camestres Angolmois. Of course, he is descended from the noble House Angolmois, which originated as a lesser nobility, unofficial to the state, in Acquendavia. He was the younger brother of Lord Tilly Angolmois (also known as King Helios I). Unfortunately, House Angolmois lacked recognition by any kingdom or country of Prospit, so the noble status of Mauragraine was upheld mostly by his own personal wealth.

Mauragraine, though outwardly, seemed to be a kind and courteous nobleman, was inwardly a devious fox. He cared only for power, and for his own political image, for he had for many years attempted to seek out a position of political importance on Prospit (an endeavor which ultimately failed). He treated his lineage and the legacy and tradition of House Angolmois as a vanity to his political persona. Sadly, he really contributed nothing to the world around him, and lived only to seek out political power.

Mauragraine And Festino's Affair

On a trip to visit his brother in the territory of Winterhallow (which at the time was Arcadian), Mauragraine and Festino first met. He was enticed by her beauty, and ended up extending his visit for the sake of introducing himself to her and getting to know her. After this, his visits became more frequent, but less for the sake of him seeing his brother, and more for the sake of him seeing Festino. As this went on, the two began to know each other very well (or so Festino thought), and a romance developed between them. Eventually the two become so lost in their passionate love for one another, that they ended up unintentionally having a child. This could have led to a happy and beautiful marriage, but because Mauragraine was a depraved and evil man, only disaster and tragedy would follow.

Upon finding out that Festino was to give birth to a child, Mauragraine panicked and pleaded with her to send the child away, and have him raised by a caretaker or in an orphanage. Festino's refusal to give up her child only made Mauragraine more afraid. He knew that his reputation would forever be ruined if it came to light that he had a child outside of marriage, and not only that, but with a commoner too. His desperation and fear led his pleading ang begging to become demands. He tried to force Festino to send the child away, but she still steadfastly refused, especially now that she could see Mauragraine for what he really was. Surely, she would have told everyone who the child's father was, and would have exposed Mauragraine's actions. This was something that he could just not allow.

At some point, both of them decided that action needed to be taken. Out of fear, Festino consulted the Heafodmann and Governor of Eldia, Tilly Angolmois, brother of Mauragraine. He gave to her a small fortune, with whcich she could provide for her child. He also promised her safety within the borders of Winterhallow. While Festino did this, Mauragraine plotted within the shadows of a way to get rid of both her and the child they had made. Being a coward, he was not swift to do anything serious, but eventually, he hired an assassin to try and remove them both from Alathra.

The Murder Of Festino Silva

Because of Mauragraine's constant threats and volatile words, Festino felt it necessary to hide away her child. She quickly and quietly put together a plan to have him watched over by a caretaker on mainland Arcadia. He was to stay there until it was safe for him to return. Festino had no idea how long her son would be gone, but she was still determined to do what was necessary to keep him safe.

-'What is war? Tragic? Sometimes. Demoralizing? Certainly. But what else is it? It is the lifeblood of this world. Imagine a world of peace. What will happen when the last empire fades; when the way of the conqueror is blotted out; when the world is united in perfect peace? What will their be for the nations to struggle against? What will there be for them to strive towards? What will there be to push them together? What will there be to produce great nations? When the last war is finished, and the world is left without conflict, the nations will slowly fade to dust. The denizens of Alathra will say to one another 'this world is dying'. They will set for the seas and leave these lands. Our history will be buried under the ruins of an old world. Every cause, every crusade, every crown, gone. Every final battle and final stand, gone. Every bloodline, every culture, every conflict, gone. Peace will be the weapon that destroys us all. Peace will be the force that drags our history into the void.' -Camestres Angolmois

-Camestres' father was a nobleman from the continent of Propsit named Mauragraine Angolmois. His mother was a common woman from Eldia named Festino. Mauragraine was the brother of Tilly Angolmois, both being of House Angolmois. This meant that the two sons of Tilly Angolmois, Rob Angolmois and Proper Angolmois, were the cousins of Camestres. Camestres was a son of House Angolmois of the former nation of Acquendavia.

-PARENTS
+Mauragraine, though outwardly, seemed to be a kind and courteous nobleman, was inwardly a devious fox. He cared only for power, and for his own political image, for he had for many years attempted to seek out a position of political importance on Prospit (an endeavor which ultimately failed). He treated his lineage and the legacy and tradition of House Angolmois as a vanity to his political persona. Sadly, he really contributed nothing to the world around him, and lived only to seek out political power.
-Mauragraine Angolmois was a very proud man. He was both proud of  his nobility and his heritage (House Angolmois of the Eldian people). Now the nobles of House Angolmois had long passed down a specific moral code, and so Mauragraine, out of pride, acted as though he cared deeply for these morals and wanted to preserve them. Outwardly he was very politically conservative. This however, was not true of Mauragraine's real life. He treated morality as a mere suggestion, and he only cared for power and wealth. A true Acquendavian, some would say.
+== Mauragraine And Festino's Affair ==
+On a trip to visit his brother in the territory of Winterhallow (which at the time was Arcadian), Mauragraine and Festino first met. He was enticed by her beauty, and ended up extending his visit for the sake of introducing himself to her and getting to know her. After this, his visits became more frequent, but less for the sake of him seeing his brother, and more for the sake of him seeing Festino.

Eventually the two become so lost in their passionate love for one another, that they ended up unintentionally having a child. This could have led to a happy and beautiful marriage, but because Mauragraine was a depraved and evil man, only disaster and tragedy would follow.
-This all played into the tragic story of Camestres' parents, beginning with the first time Mauragraine met Camestres' mother, Festino. Mauragraine and Festino, despite the difference in class, quickly fell in love. Festino was a good hearted woman, and was deceived into believing that Mauragraine was also of a good heart. He however, was not. The two quickly got into an affair, which resulted in Festino becoming pregnant. This was extremely problematic for Mauragraine. He had preached of strong morals, and he was a noble, and now here he was having had a child outside of marriage. Mauragraine, in an attempt to rescue his pride, devised a plan. He wanted to send the child (Camestres) away to be raised by a caretaker, who would never tell him of his ancestry. Festino however, was disgusted at this, and refused. So Mauragraine begged her, and she refused still. Then his begging became demanding, and still she refused. At last, fearing he would be ratted out for his demands and almost threats to Festino, Mauragraine simply fled from Eldia. He returned back to his home in Prospit. However, he did not choose to simply leave the situation as it was. Mauragraine did the unthinkable, and hired an assassin to quietly get rid of Festino and Camestres. But by now, Festino had already felt threatened by Mauragraine, and had fled from Eldia herself. It was in a place far away from Gaushen, that she gave birth to her son, Camestres, and out of fear for his life, she did send him away. She however, did not withhold the truth from his caretaker, and his caretaker was instructed to inform him as he grew up. This is where the life of Festino ended. Mauragraine's hired assassin did the job... at least he did it half way. When Mauragraine heard that the child had been sent away, he fled his home in Prospit, and lived out the rest of his days in some secluded and hidden place. Nobody knew what happened to him, but whispers and rumors say he went mad from the fear of losing everything.
