Kingdom of Darshta

For millenia, the Kingdom of Darshta existed on Darshta. Founded by Hirpa, the daughter of Izlus. Now Hirpa had three sons with one of the native shapeshifters, and those three sons took the ability to transform into halfway points of three different animals. The red haired son, Arbeios, followed the Lion, founding the Lionclaw Family, the dark haired son, Conojus, followed the Bear, founding the Ursum, and the grey haired son, Remus, followed the Wolf, founding the Lupa family. Arbeios gained from his father the greatsword Sunscar, Conojus gained the great axe, Moonbane, and finally Remus gained his great shield, which has a spicked boss, and is said to be indestructable.. This tradition ended however after around 1399 years, as in 491, Albin Lionclaw removed King Orjus VI Ursum and his family from Darshta, who then fled to Izland, However after ten years, it was Marcus Lupa who removed Albin and his family from Darshta, who then fled to Izland. Thus the Lupa family began their sole rule as King, until the Fudmaz invasion.

The First King
Now, when Arbeios took the throne it wasn't so straight forward. At first the three brothers fought for years, until in a climactic battle Arbeios killed his brother Conojus, and proceeded to the keep of Remus, who remarked that Arbeios had taken blood with his Lionclaw, thus the name, and asked if would do it again, Arbeios responded by asking Remus to come down and fight, which he did, and in the process he removed Arbeios' right arm, however, with Sunscar, Arbeios killed Remus, and declared himself the first King. Though importantly, Arbeios kept their children alive, saying that though he killed his siblings, he wished for no more family infighting and that after his death, all kings would be elected from these three families.
