This is why Phoenixes are so difficult to capture, and why their masters are chosen by them solely out of respect. Phoenixes, while not being pack animals, will latch onto who it may deem to be an Alpha. Being birds of prey, it will not settle for a master of weak physique or intellect.

The rule of the Kings Edmund and Enor Sheffield were marked by both widespread support and opposition. Following the Blight of Al'Khazar, in which King Enor was kidnapped and held by Undead, opposition to their rule increased. There were claims that the Sheffields were inefficient rulers out of touch with the common people.

'''Ignis -''' These are your traditional fire Phoenixes, who's plumage shades from yellow to red crimson. On the end of the feathers a little flame would continue to exist during the Phoenix's entire life. Getting more powerful as the Phoenix grows older of age and eventually even becoming so strong that the Phoenix burns itself.
 
  
'''Ligno -''' And now we pass on to the less traditional Phoenixes, starting with the Ligno Phoenix. The Ligno Phoenix is the Phoenix in the Ligno form. It's plumage arranges from a dark brown to green, to dark green. Whoever'd look a little closer would see that the Ligno Phoenix in fact is more like a flying bush, It's tail also as parts of it's wings are made out of Twigs, vines, and branches.

'''Glacium -''' Then we arrive at the third Phoenix form, Glacium. This is the exact opposite of the Ignis Phoenix, the Glacium Phoenix is the Phoenix of Ice. Its plumage ranges from light to dark blue. Whoever gets close to this Phoenix would clearly feel the cold it radiates.
 
  
'''Aether -''' The Aether phoenix, is the fourth form of Phoenix. As the name shows well this is a bird from the skies. Its plumage ranges from a pure white to a nasty grey. Everywhere this bird comes a rapid breeze would pick up. This Phoenix is known as the most rapid pilot of its kin.

A phoenix changes it form, when it 'dies'(The change of form is in the order that the different Phoenix types are displayed). As you know a Phoenix will never actually die, but instead be reborn, how? The phoenix would leave an egg at the place of death.
 
  
Because of this, only 12 phoenix will ever exist at the same time.

A Phoenix typically tends to make its nests around different climates depending on which 'form' the Phoenix is in. While it can live anywhere with minimal health concerns, a Phoenix’s mood peeks when being in the climate of choice.
 
  
Phoenixes are happy birds if residing within a habitat they prefer. Such as a hot savannah for the Ignis Phoenix, a dense forest for the Ligno Phoenix, the dwarven mountains for the glacium Phoenix and any high up place for the Aether phoenix. An unhappy Phoenix is not a bird you want to be around. While not directly dangerous, an unhappy Phoenix will take orders from its master reluctantly and not without airing out its complaints.

The Phoenix Revolution was a rebellion in Oren that resulted in Enor Sheffield stepping off the throne and the creation of the Realm of Hanseti, Kingdom of Renatus and Salvus. Culminating in 1341, effects of the Revolution are still felt today, making many consider it one of the most important events to have occurred in modern history.


Background

The rule of the Kings Edmund and Enor Sheffield were marked by both widespread support and opposition. Following the Blight of Al'Khazar, in which King Enor was kidnapped and held by Undead, opposition to their rule increased. There were claims that the Sheffields were inefficient rulers out of touch with the common people. Some suggested that Enor was following in the footsteps of his Undead-turned father when he was held in the Nether. Supporters of the Sheffields stated that the fall of Al'Khazar was inevitable, as the Undead had been gaining power and the city was too large to defend properly. His opposition saw the city's fall as a symbol of the decline of Oren under his rule. In 1340 the Undead attacked the north, capturing the towns of New Alstion, Crimson Vale, Celestine and Winterfell. With Al'Khazar and the north controlled by Undead, Oren was reduced to almost solely the city of Galahar. Popular opposition increased slowly at first but gained further support.


Planning

In the early stages of the revolution the planners focused on gathering as much support as possible from individuals, guilds and nations. A spot on the White Road was chosen as a meeting place and propaganda center. Eze'kiel Tarus and Zibaen Vivyaen emerged as early leaders in the revolution, gathering many supporters to the cause. The symbol of the Phoenix was chosen as it represented a new chance for Oren, rising from the ashes of the Sheffields rule.


Revolution

King Enor, sensing that popular opposition to his rule was rising, stepped off the throne and gave the crown to Gaius Marius. This decision was immediately opposed by the Phoenix revolutionaries.

The two were to be ruled as a biumvurate, with both men sharing power. Shortly thereafter, however, it was decided to make Renatus and Hanseti into their own nations. Hanseti would have a capital at Konigsberg and Renatus at Galahar.


Supporters

Many of the supporters had occupied important posts under King Enor, including military and political positions, while others would continue to remain influential for many years. Supporters included Aryon, Artorus Elendil, Lord Gideon Silverblade, Hayden Silverblade, Huron Silverblade, Jack, Dash Rogers, Salmeer, High Judge Boiendl Silverblade, Kya Silverblade, Eze'kiel Tarus, Throdo Therving, Josef Timothee, Zibaen Vivyaen and Hawk Whitestorm.
