Condeurians

Condeurians are the birth of Badfacian ingenuity, Breshikan avarice, and merfolk's hardiness and sense of community. Condeurians began as a tribe of Badfacians living in Fort Hovercastle, although they were then known simply as the Badface Company Mercenary Guild.

Originally a race comprised of Badfacians breeding with the local merfolk of the water near Fort Hovercastle while drunk after a good, old-fashioned Badfacian BBQ, the Badfacians first built homes not on shore, but on a floating barge named Fort Hovercastle. They built several seafaring vessels, such as their storage submarine, many fishing boats, and the S.S. Wayfarer, captained by Darynu, which would one day be used

to move to Old Condeura. They held feasts often, much like their Badfacian predecessors, and lived a happy life. They sold their time as workers, builders, warriors, and sometimes prostitutes in foreign lands (but mostly Breshik). It was in Breshik that the next line of blood entered the Condeurian stream.

The need to feel the air of a fresh land (and to move closer to their primary employer) caused the Condeurians to move to a newly discovered land to the North of Breshik. They named this land “Condeura” using a variation of the latin word for mercenary. They found many monsters to be a pest in these lands, and were forced to constantly fight against oncoming swarms, till they had finally conquered it. It was then that the great adaptive capabilities and indomitable spirit of the Condeurians was realized. However, it is true that nobody knows whether or not the Condeurians would have survived without the help of a wizard. One particularly dreadful night, when the Condeurians had been battling against hordes for hours on end, a wizard appeared. He gave unto Darynu a sword with the power to hew through hordes of the undead stock in the land, thus signifying that Darynu would forever be the truest leader of the Condeurians, though it would not be accepted for a very long time.

When the Condeurians had finally settled into this rural land, they continued a brief spell of mercenary work, until it was realized that work was scarce, and the nation had become a better source of income. It was during this brief time of mercenary work that Breshikan blood entered the Condeurian line. It entered through several people, such as BWKeegan gaining a dual citizenship, Shakomatic's flings with the native Condeurian women, or Darynu being a noble of Breshik (though the legitimacy of his blood as a Breshikan is questioned).

Before leaving Old Condeura, it is said that the already partially merfolk Condeurians began mating with the local merfolk of the Shaklantic ocean, especially so those of the Pristine Gulf, off of Primam Urbem

After a few illegitimate rulers, the Condeurian throne finally fell to Darynu and his Drake Commandos. The moving of the Condeurians from Oceania to Alpha's realm allowed them to live for a time as nomads, trailing across the west and north of Alpha's realm. They mingled with the native merfolk as they went (adding their blood to the Condeurian Line as well) They finally settled in a swamp near a great mountain, which they worshiped for a time, longing to live with and upon the mountain. It is said that the power of their faith was what moved the world border, and allowed them to live with their idol. Eventually they began to spread eastward, towards the nearby ocean, therefore finding undine mates with which to strengthen the aquatic ties of the race.

Traits

It is said that the Condeurians are the most impossible of spirits to break, due to the strong, spiritual magic coursing through their veins. They have many times experienced oppression, such as from the tyrants Kitty4fun and Minuke_00, but have always had underground rebel groups fighting for true Condeurian Freedom, such as the Shadowblades during the dark times of Kitty4fun, who would steal from the tyrant king, or the Hall of Kings and the Drake Commandos fighting against Minuke_00. Time after time, the Condensation worked to preserve the true, free way of Condeurian life.

Whether a town-wide Brawl, or a get together at the local pub/nightclub/potato farm, Condeurians love company. They are often times found in groups, gallivanting and such in exclusively Condeurian parties, but are also often times found mingling with anyone nearby. The Condeurians are quick to welcome visitors with open arms, but may challenge them to a friendly dual, race, or game of potato jack (a game involving the collection of poison potatoes).

The Condeurians are patriots through and through, and tales of traitors to the country are rare, if not unheard of. Condeurians even have promises stating that they shall never give up a fight to retake their rightful lands. A true Condeurian fights to his last stand to help a brother in need, and always thinks of his people as a whole, rather than their own gain. Being Condeurian means being a part of a brotherhood. It means being part of a bigger group which cares for each other
