Milo L'Evienne
The Man Formerly Known as HRH
| Current Titles *His Imperial Grace, Milo, Duke of Parádeisos *His Excellency, the Earl L'Evienne (Sherian under Audrey) Former Roles *Imperial Consul to Sherian *Intendent of the Aelyrian Empire *Regent of the Aelyrian Empire *Prince-Regent of the Aelyrian Kingdom  Appearance: Milo is a human, fully half Eunesian through his father Rioughe. He's just shy of six feet tall and weighs around one hundred and eighty five pounds; though he's probably put on a couple of pounds over the past decade due to his appreciation for good Eunesian food and wine. His hair is medium to dark brown, lightly streaked here and there with silver particularly at the temples, and where facial hair is concerned, he appears to have perfected a three brightening shadow. His eyes are an earthy shade of green and though these days he's pushing forty, due to a life spent much in the outdoors roaming private beaches or engaging in daily morning swims, puttering round the shallows in an old rowboat that's seen better days, or working among the olive and fig trees on the property surrounding his villa, he's managed to remain as fit as ever, and then some, and has fully embraced his Eunesian identity in almost every way, largely leaving behind the ways of the Aelyrian mainland. Background / Current Circumstances: Milo is the former Imperial Consul to Sherian, then Intentendant and Regent of the Aelyrian Empire, and later, Prince of the Aelyrian Kingdom. After relinquishing the throne of his own accord, he returned to Eunesia with his family, to reside on Chelseanna where he and Nell, his wife, had purchased a villa, private beach and the lands surrounding the villa. These holdings and whatever influence/authority they impart, extend to a measurable extent over the entirety of Chelseanna. Shortly after their arrival, leaving their three young children behind with Milo, Nell departed the island and returned to the Aelyrian mainland. A decade on, there remains no news of her whereabouts, or contact of any kind with Milo or the children. Update: After nearly a decade of being away, Nell has recently returned to Chelseana. When contact between Eunesia and the Empire was severed, Milo remained on Chelseanna with his family, opting for a more peaceful and quiet life away from ever changing Imperial politics, power struggles and ceaseless turmoil; thus the inevitable ruin of their aftermath; on the Empire's mainland. One might consider it to be something of a self induced exile, but a preferable one from his point of view. Now that contact between Eunesia and the Empire has been somewhat restored (I think?), Milo has no immediate plans to return or visit the mainland. He resides at Villa Parádeisos with his three children, Hannah, Owen and Madeline and now Nell, his father Rioughe and occasionally, his mother Gloriana. The property supports both fig and olive groves, along with plenty of grazing for a small herd of goats, a handful of horses and other assorted barnyard animals, along with two elephants, mother and daughter Lily and Rose.

*The Eye of Aelyria - Received during the Accession to Princedom more than most, have a stake in this nation stabilizing and becoming a more permanent fixture of stability for the generations to come. And in that light, we've brought Prince Milo not an ancient artifact, but indeed something newly created. It is our hope that this gift, this symbol of peace, will become a lasting addition to his sovereign toolbox. And it is our hope that he will use it wisely, as it's meant to be used. For it has a very special name.... "The Eye of Aelyria." And, as the Kingdom has been deeded, so too has the Eye... for it will only awaken for him and his blood descendants." The ancient gold dragon rumbled. Then, he took the carved wooden box he had in his hand and opened it. Carefully, with his talons, he pulled forth what looked like a scepter made of hammered gold with its handle etched with a raised map of aelyria wrapped around it. The actual globe portion wasn't metal, however, instead it was a clear material that looked a great deal like a diamond slightly the size of a young childs head, including the normal inclusions found in such stones. The Gold Dragon offered the thing to Milo even as the crimson female on the other side of the Dais raised her head and spoke. Her voice was light and sinuous like her own form. It carried out across the crowd....
*** ...And as the song wound up and came to a conclusion, Milo felt the scepter in his hands warm and key itself to him and his bloodline. The diamond that crowned it beckoned him, and he knew suddenly that its name was a true naming.... he could gaze into its shiny glimmering surface and see the length and breath of his kingdom, so long as he could focus his mind on what he wanted to see.*Doomsday Diamond - Courtesy Erenthril update per HD Due to the expected degradation of imbuements over time, the gemstone remains a thing of beauty and while it still retains a level of it's previous destructive power, that has largely diminished over time. *Counterfeit Imperial Visas (Riley Preston, Argo Kostas) *Fine jeweled falchion with runes embedded in its blade and house and imperial crests fashioned into its hilt - Forged by and Courtesy of Argonox Arkdun Argo waved for the Knight to present the gift to Milo. Once Milo accepted it and removed the cloth, He would find a falchion blade of a strange dark metal. In all appearance it had the look of very high quality steel equivelant to elven or dwarven metal, but this blade had a unique property. The brick to which he forged this weapon had some form of anti rust properties on it. Though the blade would dull at the same rate as elven or dwarven steel, it would never rust.
Etched along the flat of the blade were runes of the giant kin which read 'Honor with Duty, Passion with Honor'. They were the words spoken to him by his dwarven master who had taught him the smithing arts. The metallic aura of the blade glistened in the flickering of the light from candles and suns. The hilt had a hand gaurd covering to protect the users knuckles and webbed within this gaurd was the Crest of Milo's House. At the nipple of the hilt was the imperial Crest. Both crests were spun with gold. This was a perfect blade made by a Master Smith, a one of a kind beauty at least in the eyes of it's maker. *A personal airship capable of carrying 30 individuals or goods - Designed by Erenthril, built, enchanted and grown by Erenthril and Z'kron; and Courtesy of Erenthril as a personal gift to Milo *Kaimelea's Bow - Courtesy Parreyon Syndicus and Shortie Avaset Silkwind – The High Priest of The City of Reverie in the Plane of Dreams is currently her most powerful fully mortal priest. Said to also be a skilled weaponsmith, Avaset often creates artifact level weapons which Kaimelea then places into the hands of those who are loyal or those she wishes to favor in order to help further a cause she’s taken an active role in. Avaset’s weapons are easily recognized. They are made of a opalescence metal called pearlvein that is sometimes mistakenly referred to as pink, and each bring about three distinct gifts. Pearlvein is every bit as strong as dwarven steel, though it is indeed softer than jewelsteel on the material plane (on the Plane of Dreams nothing is harder), and is found in ore form only in The Plane of Dreams where it is sometimes mined and exported. The first gift one of Avaset’s weapons can bring is that of inner sight. They often open the wielders dreams to become faucets of communication. This first gift is said to be so strong if a wielder holds a weapon forged by Avaset in his or her hands, they can speak directly to the Planetar of Dreams herself. The second gift is that these weapons protect the wielder from Risthal and her nightmareish intentions. The third secret these weapons possess are the ability for the wielder to enter the Plane of Dreams physically and in a completely safe manner, even without being a worshiper of Kaimelea or having training in Dream Walking. If these creations are blessed by Kaimelea, often they will strike true if the wielder themselves has a true heart and firm intent on what they are about. This is especially true of Avaset’s bows. update per HD due to the destruction of Kaimelea, any deity-granted powers and any connection to the Dreamscape no longer fuction. In spite of that, it remains a weapon of incredible beauty, strength and quality.[
*Sundry personal accession gifts and tributes - Courtesy Assorted Suspects - posts 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13. *Sundry personal gifts from nobles of Jaedaxia - A motley mix but some right nice stuff *Animals (Two horses - Matinee and Lu, Three Suncats - cougar sized - Isa, Luna and Ubean, Two ponies, one tropical, overly talkative parrot, one shaggy sheepdog named Bock). Two Elephants - Lily and Rose *A Crown representing Milo's rule over a new age and Kingdom - Received on the Isle of the Crown Auron stretched out his arms and closed his eyes. He opened his mouth and from it came a single cry, a bellowing moan that transformed into a perfect harmonious note, hanging upon the still wind and carrying it with it a solitary melody. Crystalline in its form and unalterable in its essence, it shot forth and pierced the skies. The Medallions of the adventurers continued to glow, their words burning brighter than ever, visible from any vantage point on the ground or the sky above them. And from the innumerable pieces of dust and sand near the adventurers, the grey matter that was all that remained of the Aethercrown, emerged a whirlwind of energy and light. A single glyph materialized over their surface, a circular emblem with entwined lines creating points without a beginning or an end, but all dependant upon the other. And with the whirlwind, the dust of the artifact crown rose and spun in the sky. It bolted over to Auron and Milo, and, as the Aelyrian ceased his song, he turned and looked Milo directly in the eye. The dust dispersed in a violent shattering, and everyone closed their eyes and braced themselves instinctively.
When the wind and dust cleared, upon Milo's head rest a princely crown of gold with a thick trim, and elegant arches and long rising peaks, studded with purple stones that glimmered the crimson and emerald colors so brilliantly shining upon the medallions. Auron turned to face the Aelyrians, adventurers and bloodsmen alike, and he shouted so that all could hear him upon the isle. "Let this Man carry the Sword of these Charges, the Scepter of our Virtues," he said, "and may I be the first to address him as my kindred kinsman and brother. All Hail, His Royal Highness, Prince Milo the First, Lord Protector of the Kingdom of Aelyria!" Milo L'Evienne Rewards: Milo has been crowned Prince of Aelyria by King Auron. Milo has earned 3 Experience Points in Any Skill of Choosing. *??? - Received on the Isle of the Crown "Your Will has been touched by Time," said Auron, "and yet, how, it remains a mystery to Us. Your power is great, but it is a very quiet power that transcends who you are and is felt in what you do for the people whom you so serve." The Aelyrian bowed his head apologetically. "This Mystery is too great for Us. We sense eternal depths, as if you have always been Destined for this command, and yet have Eternally been bound to its servitude. Curious that riddles are given to a riddler such as Us, but, there it is. Your purpose, and how Time has touched you, is something that was planned deliberately by the Son of Retax. And... yet..." Auron paused for a moment, and stepped back, turning to look at the shattered remenants of the Aethercrown.
*An empowered Royal Medallion - Received on the Isle of the Crown Suddenly, there was a sharp rush of wind that blew up from around the mountainside; it was a chill that carried with it an impervious heat, a paradox of sensations. Auron's eyes grew wide as, still embracing Milo's arm in his, as an eyebrow arched over and the Aelyrian took a cautious half-step. Milo instinctively released the Aelyrian's hand and followed his gaze, down to his own chest. Around Milo's neck was the golden-chained emerald medallion, darkened since returning from time. Now, it was blazing a bright green, its power somehow rekindled by the elements. In fact, as both Milo and Auron looked around, all adventurers had their medallions glowing; even Wessex de Evile IV found his Viceroy's Medallion, which had been unpowered for centuries, suddenly come back to life once more. Odyleon and Parreyon could both instantly sense the churning power stemming from the Aetherfragments that Milo had picked up, still in Odyleon's possession from his earlier ritual to attempt to save Aslangrad. A bright trail of golden light began to stream from the fragments, out towards the emerald medallions. Milo's was the first to be touched by this power.
The golden dust settled over the medallion, and the rush of wind grew more intense. The green glowing face of the gem began to shimmer and upon its surface, glimmering runes in crimson began to take shape and form, an Ancient word appearing in the shining facet of crystal worn by Milo L'Evienne. |
