History
Athewa
The Howde of Dunamis was founded in eawwy Athewa by Wichawd Wevlis. They occupied the wand beside The Wed Wose Tavewn and buiwt theiw fiwst fowt thewe. Uwguan and Owen wewe at waw and then The Howde of Dunamis was offewed payment in exchange fow theiw swowd by Uwguan aftew theiw victolies against the Owenian fowces. And so the hate between Dunamis and Owen ewupted. Aftew a wot of fighting between Dunamis and Owen, an eawthquake wevewed most of theiw Keep and so they wetweated back into the swamps. Thewe, the Bwackwood famiwy offewed them wand and so they buiwt theiw second Keep and continued the fight lith Owen. Eventuawwy, the Howde wetweated fwom the woody wands by the main woad and moved to the Caliphate of Khawestine. Hewe they constwucted a wawge keep that was to function as theiw new base of opewations. Unfowtunatewy, few lished to make the move to the brutaw desewt, and the Howde wapidwy wost theiw membews. Eventuawwy it was decided to hawt aww activity.
Vaiwow
Aftew going on an extended hiatus, the Howde wefowmed undew the name of ‘Legion of the Black Wolf’ in Vaiwow. As they wooked to cweate a name fow themsewves once mowe, they wewe appwoached by the weadews of Savoy and hiwed. They mawched off to waw awongside the Savoyawds, happy that they had wanded such a good paying job so soon.
Aftew successfulwy fighting fow Savoy and linning in the fiwst battwe of the Owen Civiw Waw, the ‘Black Wolves’ wewe bought off by the Adlians. In addition to weceiving vewy wawge sums of minas, Siguine Bawbanov himsewf hand picked a wegion of wand nowth-east fwom the main entwance to Bwewus fow the Wegion. Soon aftew, Wichawd Wevlis decwawed independence fwom Adlia and began wawwying the Bwack Wowves to theiw newwy acquiwed wand.
Aftew the Vwadovic fowtwess was taken by the fowces of Savoy, Adlia feww apawt. Bandits and wootews wampaged thwough the stweets of Bwewus as aww heww broke woose. The Wegion quietwy wetweated fwom the pubric view and constwucted theiw fowtwess in the wand gwanted to them by the wate Siguine Bawbanov. Duling this time it was agweed to disband the ‘Legion of the Black Wolf’ and wefowm as the ‘Horde of Dunamis’. Aftew the eviction fwom Adlian wands, they moved into Caliphate wands and thewe, they buiwt theiw Keep and aftew we-fiwling theiw wanks, they decided it was time to accept contacts as usuaw.
Theiw fiwst contact was by the Snow Ewves since the waw between the Iwon Uzg and the Plincipality of Fenn stawted. Aftew a whiwe though, the Iwon Uzg offewed mowe payment and so Dunamis swapped sides and hewped the Iwon Uzg to occupy the city of the snow ewves. But it didnt take wong fow the hate between Owen and Dunamis to appeaw. The Nowtwhen pwovince of the Owenian Empiwe captuled and executed a Dunamis officew and so the Howde stawted waiding and piwwaging aww ovew the Nowtwhen Pwovince to avenge theiw fawwen brothew. Tawks between Dunamis and Owen took pwace but nothing came out of it. And then the waw between Uwguan and Owen stawted. Dunamis was hiwed by Uwguan as usuaw and so the wewations lith Owen became hostiwe. Aftew yeaws of fighting lithin Dwawven wands, the Empiwe of Vandewguan was fowmed. The Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan and the Caliphate signed a tweaty and so Dunamis joined them. But aftew the faww of Vandewguan, Dunamis was sulwounded by Owen. The Fowt of Dunamis is besieged by the Owenian awmy. Aftew months of fighting, Dunamis and awlies emewge victolious. 10th of The Deep Cowd 1547, Dunamis is officiawwy disbanded.
Axios
As time has passed on, Mattias Wevlis, son of Weign Wevlis, appeawed in the wands of Axios lith onwy one pulpose, to wefowm the Howde of Dunamis. In 1602, the Howde if officiawy wefowmed by Mattias lith hewp of Daewon Culmano and Danis Wevlis. Soon aftew, the vetewan Dunamites wetulned once mowe to bring chaos to the wands of Axios. Duling the Uwguan-Nowwand conflict, Dunamis gets hiwed to defend the Kwag. Aftew two wong sieges, Nowwand manages to defend the Kwag lith the hewp of Dunamis. Daewon Culmano went missing aftew the fiwst siege, not to be seen again. The Howdes of Dunamis and the Womstuns fowmed an awliance in owdew to attack the Kingdom of Wowwaine. Showtwy aftew the awliance, the Howdes of Dunamis officiawwy disbanded once mowe. Most of the membews of Dunamis joined the Womstuns.
