Emmen Karland

Early Life
Born in the bustling Swampasian capital of Arnhof in the year 61 NAE, Emmen grew up in one of the more wealthy families of Arnhof learning amongst the nobility. Shortly before his 17th birthday, Emmen watched in horror as one of his friends was beaten to death by soldiers of the Dragoncrest Empire for being the son of a Swampasian Loyalist. After the very traumatic experience, Emmen developed a seething resentment for the Dragoncrest Empire.

The Swampasian War of Independence
Starting in 78 NAE, the Swampasian War of Independence was the bloodiest war in Swampasian history which lasted until the fall of the Dragoncrest Empire in the year 100 NAE. Emmens involvement in the Swampasian War of Independence was one of great significance, at first uniting the people of Arnhof and Swampasia to take up arms against the tyranny of the Dragoncrest Empire.
