The Prince's Blade

The Prince's Blade is a title and tradition that dates back to Starenell when ruled by the Bekker family. During the reign of Captain-General Thomas Bekker, a solidier named Sabrier K'Tan came about. His name, meaning sword of the gods, was not recognized for its potential. He was actually a descendant of the oringinal ruling line of Starenell, the K'Tans, or Gods. He grew in rank and power, eventually becoming one of the Captain-General's key operatives. Thomas Bekker rewarded him with immortality. Sabrier wrote a detailed journal, stored in the Staric Archives. It is only fully acessible by the Prince's Blade, who adopts the name Sabrier K'tan, and the First Prince. This was passed down from Blade to Blade. Eventually, one of the greatest Blades was horribly scared in a battle. He escaped with his life, but he had to forever wear a headdress that masked his head. It is built into the Blades body, and only removed when he dies. A new mask is built for every Blade. The mask represents the sacrifices a Blade must make. The Blade is honorarily in Command of The Blades, a personal unit he constructs.

History of Starenell:

Starenell was once a terrible land ruled by demons, but after a centuries-long war, celestial beings took over. They created peace in the land, and ruled in the form of the K'Tan family, then left. The K'Tan family ruled for a while and disappeared, their stewards, the Bekkers ruled as Captains-General, not First Princes as the K'Tan had done. The K'Tan family returned, eventually granting Starenell great technology (Going FT). Starenell discovered the Kearny-Fuchida drive, and explored new planets. The current system of government has evolved over a long time.

Enclaves can be defended any way needed, but no emplacements can be put inside. We can protect our own Enclaves or you can.

Religion

Starenell has two main religions, along with a mix of everything else. The first is the Warriors pantheon.

Warriors Pantheon

The Warriors Pantheon consists of various gods and godesses, each representing a type of solidier or style of combat. Some examples include the Archer and the Swordsman. These are led by the Wind Warrior, who is devoted to all combat, but also Starnell's main combat type, two weapon fighting relying on speed and accuracy. Religious leaders and followers devote themselves to one of the pantheon, but revere the entire pantheon always, especially the Wind Warrior.

Story of the Wind Warrior: The Wind Warrior is said to be the ascended form of Sabre, Starenells first hero. Sabre led Starenell to victory during the First War, when Starenell was liberated form the demons. In the final battle of the war, Sabre faced the demonic general and slew him, but was conumed in the blast of blades that the fell creature created as it died. Sabre was dead, and the people of Starnell mourned the loss greatly. However Sabre was ascended by a power that dated back to the creation of Starenell, The Blood God. He was a god of war and killing, but also a god of Starenell. He was proud of Sabre, one of the greatest warriors ever, and made him a god.

The Blood God The Blood god is an ancient god, dating back to when Starenell was created and ruled by devils. Some say, however, that he is in fact the Chaos God Khorne. He has a large range of worship, particularly around Alpheratz. Blood Priests, the Elemental Dreegone that are at the head of this church, often serve as boarders on ships.
