Welas
Nation’s History
Welas began life as an orcish nation with a large population of human slaves. The orcs bred the humans into pedigrees based on specific qualities they wanted to bring about. They succeeded in creating a strong, hardworking human population, but they underestimated the power of human will.
The human slaves led an uprising several hundred years ago and drove most of the orcs out of their lands. Their leader, a mammoth of a man by the name of Willem Alacel, was such a grand warrior that he was chosen to ascend to the heavens as a god among men. His descendants continue to rule over Welas as their undisputed and revered leaders.
Even with the orcs gone, however, the humans of Welas had many ways of thinking that weren’t completely extinguished by their newfound freedoms. The people of Welas still define themselves by their pedigree, which they now use as an intricate clan system.
Nation Details
Capital City: Alacel Keep
Ruling Power: Welas has a council of elders which represent each of Welas’s clans, but the true, undisputed power of the kingdom is in the hands of the royal line descended from their god-king, Willem Alacel.
Inhabitants: 85% Human, 5% Orc, 10% Other.
Approximate Military Strength: Heavy. Though Welas has no official standing army, the entire nation holds a rigid military tradition, and any male over the age of ten has some sort of military training, and many of their women do too.
Important Characters
Perjin Alacel
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Position: Perjin is the undisputed king of Welas, and rules by divine right.
Appearance: Perjin quite obviously takes after his legendary ancestor, in that he is a monster of a man. He stands 6’ 11”, and weighs over 350 lbs, most of which is pure, unadulterated muscle. He has shoulder length, jet black hair and piercing black eyes, making him all the more unnerving. The only time Perjin doesn’t seem intimidating, in fact, is when he’s playing with his son.
Gavin Alacel
Age: 4
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Position: Gavin is the son of Perjin Alacel, the king of Welas, and the sole heir to the throne.
Appearance: Gavin seems to be the typical four year old. He has his father’s eyes, however, which make him seem quite a bit wiser than his age would assume.
