Kha'Serith Family History
House Kha'Serith used to be a prominant House in the Hidden City until a jealous rival house attacked House Kha'Serith. Thoughtout time, House Kha'Serith and the rival house had competed for honor. But as with all prolonged fights and wars, the beginning idea of the fight for Honor began to fade away and all that remained was greed and power. Soon, the fight moved from honor filled duels and competitions of knowledge to a race to see who could gain the most power and money faster. Blinded by the hope of power, both houses began to try to find weaknesses in each other to attack and then exploit to their advantage.
As they continued to exchange blows with each other, the attacks upon each other became more desperate and ruthless. No longer were they simply trying to exploit each other, but rather, they had begun engaging each other in open warfare. Small skirmishes would occur occasionally but no deaths occured yet. Eventually however, one day, the rival house uncovered that one of the leading heirs of House Kha'Serith had fallen in love with a softskin, an act considered treason within the city. However, upon learning this, House Kha'Serith knew that for such a thing to happen, the heir must have taken the form of another, an act considered dishonorable by the Diantar family. They quickly shunned their descendant away as the now Moraden left.
However, it was too late. By exagerrating the story to the point that few original facts remained and then spreading it around the entire city, the rival house then gathered its supporters and launched an attack on the unprepared House Kha'Serith, still morning the loss of a direct heir to the family's power. By quickly attacking the House Kha'Serith Manor, the rival house was able to surprise the inhabitants and the Manor was burned to the ground. The survivors of the House then fled deeper into the Mountains to survive.
Links History:
When the Moraden was thrown out of the house he left and traveled with the soft skin he had fell in love with. One day they were walking through the woods when a band of robbers attacked them. The soft skin was killed quickly and the Moraden was left to die. A few days later an older dracon with his wife and daughter were traveling down the road. The found the wounded dracon and took him with them, nursing him back to health.
A year went past and the Moraden was part of the family. The father gave the dracon his daughters hand in marrage. On the night before the wedding the group was attacked. The Moraden grabbed his future bride and fled as the parents were slain. The two fugitive dracons took on the life of their father as nomads. They lived together for five years moving from place to place being driven out from every town they stopped at. A few years later they had their first child but they rarly spoke to it during it's life. the child learned fast that when it was time to leave to leave as fast as possible. He was kept in secret for most of his life as they traveled from city to city. He had no name until one fateful day.
On that day, which Links has a hard time remembering, he was left outside a village as his parents went and made sure it was safe. The village had suffered greatly in the Great War and had been a quartering place for hundreds of dracons as they moved on to the front lines. As soon as the two dracons where spotted, they were captured and tortured beyond belief. Just before they died the village elder, a kind man, asked them for any last requests. They whispered to him, "Please, find our son and take care of him or make his demise quick and painless. He's outside of the village about a mile." The elder nodded and gave the word for the two dracons to be executed.
The elder thought about the dracons' request for days. Should he take the young dracon under his power, or should he release him to the villagers. The elder couldn't think of killing a young soul so he decided to find the dracon and raise him. He didn't have to look far. The young dracon, after so many days had come looking for his parents. The elder found him just outside the village and quickly took the youngster into his house before anyone spotted him. The elder kept the dracon a secret for many years but his health began to fail. The dracon at this time snuck out of the elder's house into the village. He was soon captured and taken to the elder for a sentecne. The elder was glad that no harm had come to the dracon and proclaimed to the village that this dracon was one of them and should not be persucuted.
The dracon lived there many years growing stronger and the elder growing weaker. The dracon was often called 'The chain to evil' by the villagers. Chain, as he was called for short, constantly beat the village boys at whatever game they were playing. The contention became unbelieveble and the boy's planned to kill Chain. And the day came. The boys surronded Chain in the street one day and started to beat him. He didn't cry or call out for help which made them even more angry. Then someone tripped him. As he picked himself up one of the biggest, strongest, and dumbest boy attacked Chain from the back with an old rusted, dull sword. He was able to do great damage to Chain's back and wings before the draconic instincs kicked in. The whole thing became a blood bath as Chain ripped the boy limb from limb. Chain then grabbed the next closest boy and started to shread the flesh on his legs before he was knocked out by some village men.
Chain was taken to the elder and the villages told the their story of what had happened. Chain was to dazed to defend himself so the elder, by law, had to believe the villagers story. They asked to kill him but the elder would not have that. He said, "Let the dracon heal before we pass a sentence." That night the elder took care of Chain enough that he could sit up. Then something happened that would affect his life forever.
The elder said, "Dracon, I have cared for you many years but I can not do so any more. I'm afraid I am going to have to banish you from the village. But I cannot banish someone without a name. Yes, a real name. They call you Chain out there and I will call you that, but not by their meaning. You have the nobility of a dragon and a chain of life that is unlike another. So you shall be banished by the name Links, DragonLinks."
Just then a mob came to kill the elder and DragonLinks. Links escaped their madness and ran for his life until he could run no more. He looked back and saw a red glow in the sky from the fire that burnt down the elder's house and the rest of the village. Links then wandered endlessly around the Empire until he came upon Alleria Prime.

Links is usually a dracon but his white cloak can make it hard to see that.
