Lonah

Background
After the Siege of Chailan, Lonah was the only one who survived (aside from Lady Eydas) the plague known as Queen Helga's Revenge when it ravaged his father's ship, ''Remia Strikes. ''After Lady Eydas was returned home to Chailan, Lonah escaped to the Westernwood for several years. From a port in the Westernwood, Lonah was sold by the blacksmith for whom Lonah was apprenticing to a ship. Over the course of forty years, Lonah became the captain of this vessel and renamed her The Lady Eydas.

From city to city, Lonah's notorious ship pillaged and raped like no other. Lonah and the crew aboard The Lady Eydas were given by the common-people the sobriquet "Bearers of the Bloody Banner", for they soaked their flag in the blood of the slain kings that once reigned over the cities they ravaged. As the flag of The Lady Eydas grew heavier and heavier with the blood of kings, Lonah became greater a threat to Southern Chailan. For Lonah had sworn long ago that he would avenge the death of those who died on Remia Strikes, and it was his father who’d died the most severe of the deaths forty years ago and who’d captained the ship.

As Lonah grew greater and greater threat, Southern Chailan made all ladies akin to the throne home-bound for ten years. Oppressed though safe, a woman of prestige seldom showed herself on any street of Southern Chailan. They grew frail, and the women of the Chailan throne became no longer famously fair. Just as the women grew weak, so did Southern Chailan. Southern Chailan's navy, under the omnipresent threat of the Bearers of the Bloody Banner, was thwarted and could no longer conquer nor protect its lands. The time to avenge finally ripened to opportune, and the Bearers of the Bloody Banner (with the help of the Lord of Agiya and the Lord of Engel) sailed to Chailan and lay waste until the empire drowned in flames and the blood of its people.
