Tyran Carlysle

King Tyran Carlysle I was the first King of Scaeptre. He conquered the continent and slaughtered most of House Augustus.

Appearance and Character
Tyran had the light brown hair of the Carlysles. He wore armour in red and gold, the colours of his House. On his chest a lion roared. His eyes were a distinct green. Tyran always stood proudly and was a charismatic leader and warrior. He treated his friends and also his enemies with respect and always made people who'd wronged him pay the price. His crown was of simple iron, with lion's claws and teeth jutting out of it.

History
Tyran was born and raised on the Claw by his parents Lord Jory Carlysle and the Lady Anna Primrose-Carlysle. When he was only seven years old, his older brother fell off a cliff and died in what many believe was just a tragic accident. Others say a child of Emperor Atticus pushed him out of jealousy when they feasted there once. That would explain why Tyran had no love for House Augustus.

During the Rebellion of Many, the Carlysles remained out of the conflict for a long time. House Laghnall and House Anthony led the rebellion, but they knew it would not be enough. Lord Osmyn Anthony eventually rode south and laid siege to the capital for many months. Lord Rasmund Laghnall joined him and stormed the castle walls. They met the Augustus troops together and seemed to get the upper hand, but it was House Braeden who saved Emperor Atticus. They feasted that night, but Tyran saw his chance. He raised his fleet and sailed to the capital from the Claw. He breached the castle walls and slayed Atticus himself. The Braedens fled.

Tyran took his place in the Hall of a Thousand Tears the next day, after he had slaughtered what had been the most powerful family in the world. He was crowned and announced that Scaeptre would see a new age. The age of kings, as he renamed himself King Tyran Carlysle I.

For many years it seemed to be peaceful in the realm, but Tyran knew House Braeden was still lurking somewhere. He sent his best assassins and raiders, because he feared he had to go to war again. For many years the raiders went to the West and came back empty handed. It seemed like the Braedens had vanished. Tyran went mad of confusion and irritation and died in his own bed. His son Keith succeeded him and was renamed King Keith Carlysle I.
