A Commentary On The Extinct Family Of The Well
From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki
Title: Of The Well
Author: Herald, Castle Britain
The House of Welluns, Wellingham, and Welles. A noble family with deep roots within Sosaria. Most lines as of this writing are extinct, with the departure of the saved boy Addie Wellings of Magincia as an adult into the void only a single line now remains. This author is sad to say that the woman, Demeroth Welluns is both childless and a widow. This great house of our land is soon to fall into extinction.
There are many myths and legends of this house and its various descendants. They have been the majority holders of the fabled Ouroboros rings throughout history, their root “Well” hints at the primordial waters of the Tehom from which the very land beneath our feet once sprung.
With the exception of the child Addie, none have ever held great office of import, they have always been advisors, powers of advisement behind the great powers of Britannia and beyond. Some would call this a conspiracy, or some dark design for power, however, this author believes something far, far different. Should this vast reaching family ever truly have had such dark designs, surely such a plan would have come to fruition by now. Yet they have always been at the right place at the right time, allowing others to be the heroes, bowing to others as King, and backing away when others wish to lead.
One sacred branch of the Well, had long cared for the Chamber of Virtue in Britain, from its initial building until the destruction of Magincia. And that great calamity sealed the family’s fate into extinction. For the bulk of the family lines converged upon Magincia in the years prior to it’s fall. Cousins, aunts, uncles, all blissfully unawares of their distant familial connections. And when the city fell to dust, so did the family.
From sheer grief did the widow Demeroth never remarry after the loss of her young husband, never another man did she take, and never a child will she bare.
She can be seen often, upon the beaches of the barrier island of Trinsic, looking east into the sea. Some say she is looking for her husband to come home. Some say she is simply seeking the bravery to step out into the ocean itself and end her grief. Yet, all roads lead to the same conclusion.
She is the last thread of this dying family, and we Sosarians are lesser for it.
