IronHorse

A Welcome

I wish to extend a warm and friendly welcome to all who visit our thriving city.
Trinsic is a city that has seen both prosperity and despair during her exsistance, but she has withstood the test of time and once again the City of Honor is entering into a new age of growth and prosperity.
We welcome those who would come just to visit as well as we welcome those who wish to join us and and find a home for themself.

Our primary goal is to promote and encourage a sense of roleplaying always with the intention of cultivating an entertaining and continually evolving environment that regardless of how much or how little time you play that you enjoy your time interacting within the community of Trinsic.

Please take advantage of these boards to post communications that you feel would be of interest to the Territory of Trinsic.
Much of what has been going on in and around Trinsic as of late can be found in the Divided Lands section of the Lake Superior forums.
For those of you who may not know my character,following is a brief bio.

Name: IronHorse
Race: Human
Profession: Military/Political
Age: 55
Home City: Trinsic
Guild: Forge of Virtue

Born to a humble hard working family of lumberjacks and miners IronHorse grew strong as a young boy but developed a sense of adventure and ambition early in life.
Upon his 13th birthday he gathered his meager belongings and left his family home in the western woods from the grand city of Trinsic.
Making his way into Trinsic he found the bustling lifestyle of a major city to his liking and developed a strong sense of loyality to Trinsic which led to his enlistment into the Trinsic Navy.
During the next few years he traveled the realm making port in the various cities living the life of a typical navyman,drinking,brawling and enjoying the company of exotic females.
It was during a naval engagement with an overwhelming force of pirate ships off the NW coast of Buccaneers Den where IronHorse was gravely wounded and was set ashore upon Serpent's Isle where he recieved medical attention and was left to heal.
As he made his recovery he soon made many friends among the inhabitants of Serpent's Isle and its many guildmembers consisting of ACD (The Academy of Virtue)and its partner guild, the OSS (Order of the Silver Serpent).
Once fully healed IronHorse was offered enrollment into the Academy of Virtue which he was honored to accept.Upon his enrollment he was given a small humble house upon Serpent's Isle and proceeded with his studies of the Virtues as well as his skills with sword and shield.
During this period IronHorse met the Lady Leeda who quickly captured his heart and his enduring loyality.
Over time IronHorse was able to aquire a modest degree of wealth and procured a sizable home upon the Isle.
At the disbanding of The Academy of Virtue and the fragmenting of the Order of the Silver Serpent IronHorse and Lady Leeda created the F*V (Forge of Virtue) and accepted many of the former members of ACD and OSS into its ranks, making Serpent's Isle its base of operations.
It was a few years later that Witchfinder General approached IronHorse and asked that F*V make an alliance with his guild VoV (Vanguards of Virtue) as well as the guilds of HoM and the newly reformed OSS which all together formed the Royal Guard of the High Council of Britannia.
Having great respect for his old Teacher and friend as well as a strong sense of duty to King and country IronHorse graciously accepted Witchfinder General's offer.
During his tenure with the Royal Guard of the High Council under the command of Grand Marshall Witchfinder General IronHorse quickly rose in rank to the point of becoming Lt. General second in command of the RG.
It was also during this time that the Lady Leeda was granted the 2nd seat of the HC representing the virtue of Honor and the city of Trinsic.By no suprize IronHorse (being a son of Trinsic and devoted to Lady Leeda)pledged the F*V to the defense and support of the great city of Trinsic.
With the mysterious disappearance of the King and the sudden death of Witchfinder General the High Council voted to accept IronHorse as the Grand Marshal of the Royal Guard.
Under his command the RG grew into a sizable military force, more an army then a policing guard which caused some concern from the HC.
With the increasing incursions and threat of invasion by the Dread Lord Society into Britannia IronHorse petitioned the High Council to declare a state of War, which their reluctantly approved granting IronHorse full authority to defend Britannia and to make "limited" scouting incursions into the DLS stronghold of Umbra.
IronHorse's aggressive scouting incursions led to a large skimish within the city of Umbra resulting in the loss of many Royal Guardsmen and the withdrawal of the remnants of the RG from not only Umbra but the entire continent of Malas.
This action was viewed by the enemy as a sign of weakness of the Royal Guard and it soon attempted a full scale invasion of the city of Skara Brae which was soundly and quickly defeated by the full strength of the Royal Guard under IronHorse's command.
Without consulting the High Council IronHorse quickly launched and inserted a regiment of the Royal Guard onto the newly discovered continent of Tokuno and established a fortified outpost to hunt down remnants of the DLS who had fled there to regroup.
Once the High Council became aware of this Royal Guard outpost IronHorse was quickly called before the Council and was severly reprimanded and ordered to withdraw his forces from Tokuno.With a great deal of dissent, IronHorse, sworn by oath to obey he did as the High Council ordered and withdrew his forces from Tokuno.Once all elements of the Royal Guard were withdrawn back into Britannia IronHorse promptly resigned his commission as Grand Marshal of the Royal Guard and entered into a state of "retirement" although maintaining his oath to defend and protect the great city of Trinsic.

Recent events causing the destruction of the city of Magincia and the influx of large numbers of refugees into Trinsic has brought IronHorse out of his "retirement" and he has declared himself Military Governor of Trinsic as well as imposing a state of Martial Law within the great city of Trinsic.
His long term intentions are not clear at the present time.
The High Council is divided in the extent of their support for his actions at this time.

Thank you

Born in the city of Trinsic. I have childhood memories of my father going off to War in a distant land. My father left my mother and I well provided for. My mother and I spent our days together. I often saw that far away look in her eyes. She never gave up hope my father would return.
I spent many hours pondering over books. My thoughts always wondering how and why things happened. I began studies as a Mage.

One day my friend Waldo stopped by. Hands on his hips said you need to learn more about life. Get away from those dusty books. Get out and live. I have just the place for you to go. He said. My head turned to look at him. I knew the GM of ACD and OSS based on Serpent’s Isle. I did not question him. I stood and said. When do we leave?

Mother, I have something to tell you. It is time I was out on my own. I am going to Serpents Isle to join a group. With tears in hers eyes, she kissed my cheek and hugged me. You have my blessings she said

As I Stepped on to the ship I took one last look at my mother waving goodbye to me.

As we set sail. I wondered how this new adventure would be for me.

After a long and tiring sea journey, I could see the shore ahead. My heart began to pound with anticipation.

Once on shore, I set out to find the leader. I walked into his castle and handed him my note from Waldo. After we talked he offered me entrance into ACD and OSS. My training began that day. I was in heaven he had many books that told the history of HC. One of the things required was that I attend their meetings. I so enjoyed the meetings. I rarely missed a meeting from that day forward. I always looked forward to each meeting.

As I walked the Island I often saw Lord IronHorse there. He captured my heart before I actually met him.

After our Gm left. Iron and I started Forge of Virtue. Meeting Tal and Maggie gave me new direction. I became Maggie Adjunct. When she felt a need to retire she asked if I would enjoy the position. I remember that time. I felt my heart pounding and excitement building. I was so excited was hard for me to utter the words YES YES YES. So here Maggie and I are again. Still enjoying HC.
