Recent Histories of House Hawklight

Legend
Recorded within is the history of House Hawklight shortly preceding the return of Drake Hawklight, to the modern day. This is a totally unbiased account with no skew on it at all, nor any favouritism regarding certain figures shown, written by Drake Hawklight. The events start in 2260 (33 years ago from the creation of this post).



The Death of King Neoroy

It was under King Neoroy that August and Hawklight had unified - a man of peace and
wisdom, with the strong guidance of whom the Kingdom of Hierax saw a great amount of coin
flow into the treasury, and a great amount of construction in the capital of Heaven’s Reach. An
architect, not just by trade, but of the wealthiest Kingdom to ever grace the Northern
Kingdoms, and as with any great architect, his works lived on beyond his lifespan. The
Kingdom of Hierax, under House August, found strength in the wealth of its coffers and the
size of its fleet - both of which went unrivalled in the old world.

As is well known, however, the Grey Lady reserves judgement on no man. On Godsend, the
12th of Lightshine, in the Year 2260, King Neoroy Aeyeras-August, the first King of Hierax,
died after a long period of sickness at the age of 47. In some way, his death was fortunate for
himself; he never knew the abandonment of Heaven’s Reach, nor the destruction that was
wrought upon Altera by the undead to come. Such, doubtless, would have been crushing for
him to witness.

A great funeral was held in the honour of the King; it is known that many of the finest nobility
in the Northern Kingdoms were in attendance to honour his memory amidst some of his finest
work. The question then, although not a question in truth, was who was to be heir to the
Kingdom. King Neoroy died without issue; and indeed without blood relatives. The last of the
line of August, it seemed that another house would have to take the fore in the Kingdom of
Hierax.

And which other house than that of Hawklight; the partners in this union? So it was chosen
that the Patriarch of House Hawklight, Axex, Lord of Whiterock, would ascend to the throne of
Aeyeras and with the faith of all his subjects, begin the next era in the history of not just
Hawklight, but now also August. With his ascendance, the formal House name of “Aeyeras”
passed into disuse, and the Kingdom of Hierax would now be referred to as ruled by House
Hawklight by nearly all.

Perhaps most significantly for the Kingdom, for the administration elsewise remained
unchanged, was King Axex’s repealment of the banishment of his disgraced nephew, Drake
Hawklight. Determined to have paid penance enough during exile, having matured into a man
worthy of the title of Prince, and indeed a man worthy of inheriting the Kingdom of Hierax, he
was invited to return to Hierax with the entirety of his titles and wealth restored. Instantly
finding his way into the King’s Council as diplomat for the Kingdom, both due to his
charismatic way of speech and noble blood, he set about forging new ties across the Northern
Kingdoms.

This state of affairs would continue for but a short period of time; rumours of the walking dead
invading the south soon found their way north, and could not be ignored.

The rest will follow as I write and perfect it.
