        The Story of My Kingdom (Told by Sir Howl)
                        I am a knight of the Seventh Moon.  
The clans of the moon began long ago.  The first clan was started by Sir 
Frangtagro, a brave knight, who had set out to kill the evil dragon know 
as carntaurius.
        The dragon would fly low down at a city, and demand they leave 
out all of their gold on the street, or he would kill them all.  The 
ones who where smart put out their money and values, but others tried to 
fight,and died.  After the dragon was very rich, he was feared 
throughout the kingdom,which then was known as holistaria.  
        Frantagro soon became obsessed with killing the dragon, and he
formed a group called the First Moon.  They called them selves this 
because they would meet at night, to be secretive, and because the 
dragon had hired spies.  The group often met over maps, and discussed 
plans in the moonlight.
        One dark night, the First Moon set out to kill the dragon.  They
had followed him home, many times, and knew where he lived. They went to 
his cave, and did a direct surprise attack on the massive dragon.  Many 
men died, but so did the dragon.  The few members of the group who still 
lived formed the second moon, but where more open about it, and they had 
many more members.
        Sir Frangtagro was greatly rewarded by the king of holistaria, 
and the name of the kingdom was changed, and renamed for him.  After the 
king died, he became the new king.  The times after that where called 
the golden age, because The Second Moon and Third Moon defended the 
kingdom well, and Frangtagro's leadership was the best leadership the 
kingdom ever had.
        After the great king died, the kingdom went into a period called
the Sad Period, because the whole kingdom mourned for him, and they all
became weaker.  This was when the Moon groups where at there weakest 
point.  The Fourth Moon group where all killed in a single battle, 
against a nearby group of settlers.  
        The Dark Age soon followed the Sad Period, because they where
ruled by an evil man known as Baja, from the conquering nearby settlers. 
 The Moon Group was outlawed, and therefore, the Fifth Moon died.  The 
men where executed, and there head quarters burned.
        The evil empire soon fell though, because the old king's men, 
who had been in hiding, made a revolution.  The towns people boycotted 
goods, and the strong men and women made weapons.  It all lead down to 
the day which began the Green Period.  The people attacked the palace, 
and the guards, who had little faith in their king, gave up, under the 
promise to be released freely.
        The towns people expelled Baja into a dark, lifeless place now
known as Baja, named after the Evil King.  There he is said to still 
live, and has been planning revenge on the Frangtargo kingdom, and his 
disloyal men.  
        The 6th Moon was created at the start of the Green Period, and
they served the kingdom well.  I was trained by the Sixth Moon, and I
soon formed the Seventh Moon, after the peaceful death of most of the 
older men in the Sixth Moon.
        There are two members in the Seventh Moon who where members of 
the Sixth Moon, and their names are Exoria, a strong, brave fighter, and 
his wife, who dealt with natural magik.
        Together they left the Seventh Moon, mainly because of their 
age, and they started the kingdom know as Exorius.  
        The Seventh Moon has protected the kingdom for 17 years now, 
having many different members, and is one of the largest of the Moon
Groups.  The Sixth Moon was the first group to start using Magic, and 
they included two powerful sorcerers.  Their names where Julian and 
Hadezian.
        Them being the most powerful men in the Sixth Moon, constantly
fought over leadership.  That is different story though.
        Our kingdom, Frangtagro, is still the most powerful kingdom in 
the 6 portal formation.  The current king is Peter Frangtagro, Sir
Frangtagro's great, great grandson.  The Portal Formation is what we 
some people use to get from place to place in our kingdom, but the most 
common way is by horse, or horse and carriage.
        Kingdoms 1, 2, 4, and 5 all have many little villages, and a 
main Castle.  As for the 3rd and 6th kingdoms, known as the Dark 
Kingdoms, I, nor many folk of my kind know much about them.
        
          If you would like to here more about our kingdom, or this 
story, talk to me.
