History
Note: Originally founded as Milchamah, but was voted to a name change by the Senate Imperial of the Newly Forged Realm Imperial.
History as orated by the Faceless Monk and transferred by his good friend and scribe Reynard Lycian.
In the year of Two thousand and seven or eight, there lived a young Ranger of unknown name and origin, though he was of elven birth. He was a lone fighter who traveled amongst the woods and rivers of the Appalachia. He met a young Warrior and Ambassador of the Emerald Isles. They together found the Kingdom of Avalon in which they were both accepted as new warriors in service to the Knights of the Brotherhood of the Falcon. They fought together for a few years and began to see a lull in the once powerful and focused Kingdom. Many of the men and women appeared to become very disillusioned with the fighting and training.
They began discussing what ways they could do to improve the Kingdom. However within the year of two thousand of nine Avalon disappeared from the Kingdom and the forest of Hardesty was abandoned. The young Ranger was very saddened and the young Ambassador had a new idea, create a new Realm, one where younger and more exuberant members could fight in. They visited the local Academy of Fire Stone during their discussions and shared many a bottle of mead and a cross word with the more sour old professors of the institution. It was there they met one more to join their fold in the year of two thousand and eleven. The Faceless Monk.
It was in the academic study of the Physical Aspects of the World that they met him and discussed their plans with him. He had previously seen Avalon and witnessed its disappearance. They decided to add him in as a third comrade to the master plan. The Faceless Monk went on to write many of the documents and ideas that would become the basis of this new Realm. He and his young scribe assistant, Reynard of the Noble House Lycian, utilized the Network of Information to bring about a few new members to the Realm.
The Ranger brought his young Shieldmaiden and companion, he brought a young, short, and extremely light bard of unknown nightly activities and of vicious technique, the sister of said bard, a young assassin and a temptress as well. The Ambassador brought with him an armory combined with the Ranger's to provide more than enough weaponry, and the Monk brought his old bodyguard, a monster, and a powerful and merciless fighter, with little control and little caring for those besides his master.
Thus began the realm of Milchamah as it was known. Chosen from the ancient scriptures the ancient eastern word meaning Warrior. The Ambassador trained many well in the art of axe mastery and use of shields, while the Ranger taught the skills of two weapon fighting and ranged weaponry. For some time, young rapscallions of the local Academy joined along with young flames of the Assassin. However few of these fools stayed long as they had no discipline as warriors.
That winter there was a two-fold event that changed the face of the realm. The Ambassador was recalled into service back to the Emerald Isles and left, unfortunately not to return. However despite this newer permanent membership began to become established, two young brethren of the bard-warrior and a young Succubus of the Eastern lands joined the fold.
This lead to a romance between the Bodyguard and the Succubus and the holidays lead to a strengthening of the bonds between the realm members. They found shelter inside a local Inn and Library near the Church and the Academy for training during the cold months. There they trained till springtime when the weather returned to fairer climes. A slight lull was reached during the festival of Dionysus at the Academy, but training resumed afterwards in the summer months.
In late summer tragedy again struck. The young Succubus left for the northern lakes and the many members all disappeared into a temporary hold. The Bodyguard went crazy and temporarily had to be removed due to his dangerous fighting that had begun to claim his allies as well as enemies. The Monk returned west to practise his art while the Ranger and Shieldmaiden attended festivals of celebration of the arts of the time. However this was not to last, as the new year of Academic study began the members returned from their joruneys and celebrations and began to seek to train again, though it lacked the purpose they felt in the years previous.
This lead to the historic new beginning, the Ranger realizing the opportunity and the possibility decided change needed to be made. He contacted the monk and the scribe and discussed his ideas and they seized on the idea immediately . They formed the temporary Triad of governing called the Senate Imperial and began to discuss the new ideas and changed needing to be made. They contact many of the members to inform them of the change and began to establish what is now known as the Umbra Imperium.
Summary
In about 2008 or 2009 two young fighters of the Realm of Avalon, The Ranger and the Ambassador, began to notice a lull and a disinterest among its members. Then one day in about 2010 or so Avalon left Hardesty Park right by the School and the Library. They decided they wanted to make their own realm so that they might be able to continue Belegarth within the community and allow new players to join in. They invited a third member, The Faceless Monk, and he and his friend began to set up the paperwork and the various electronic communication groups and such so that they would be ready for new members. They invited a few members from the school, many from the musical area. They met up in Hardesty and founded the Realm of Milchamah, chosen by the Ranger for its meaning of Warrior. They fought well and had fun until the Winter where they lost one of the leaders, The Ambassador, but they gained a few new members and their numbers stayed consistent.
After winter they were joined by a few more members and they prospered throughout the summer having their members going to a couple events and some going to a few medieval faires. They had a fun summer until August where there was almost no activity at all, however they began to start up again around the beginning of school. However many of the members were bored and began to lose interest. The Ranger hoping to restart interest and improve the group spoke with the Monk and discussed major changed that needed to be made to improve the Realm as a whole. He agreed and began work immediately with his Scribe. They changed the name through their new Senate and began to improve the practices to focus more on skill training and comradery and less of the random, unfocused, and generally long battles.
