Sixteen years ago King Azerik Shiro attempted to merge the two warring nations by marriage. A marriage that would of enabled Azerik to separate the dragons once more and placate the mechanist kingdom of Tou. Peace accords had been signed and the wedding was set in stone. It all came apart when Azerik invited the Dragon Mage of Ichidou to come and bless the union. Instead of blessing it he shattered any hope for peace for the next sixteen years. The accursed sorcerer took the Princess as his own, which would ruin any chance of Castile having a child with her future husband and thus fully uniting the two countries.
Tou was outraged and demanded that Shiro deny the Dragon Magi’s wishes and take the Princess back. Shiro could not because the sorcerer threatened to with draw Ichidou’s aid in training the magicians and warlocks that made the magical products that fueled Shiro’s economy. Reluctantly Azerik let Castile go with the sorcerer. His once ambitious plans lay in ruin, he returned to fighting against Tou.
A small contingent of soldiers lead by on of Azerik’s best generals revolted because he saw the King as weak and began raiding towns. With Torin at his side the twins rode off to dispatch the traitor.Azerik died in Torin’s arms three days after heading out in the final skirmish with the traitorous General. Three weeks after ward the widowed Xonaris Shiro died of a broken heart and Torin took the throne.
Under Tor’s leadership Shiro has not only survived the war with Tou, but prospered in the mean time. Magic of most shapes and forms became a part of everyday life and the magical devices and weapons of Shiro were a more then a match for the mechanized forces of Tou. Thus locking the two countries in a decade long stalemate, magic versus mechanics. But, recently, Shiro has begun to loose ground. The formidable kingdom of Tou slowly grinding away at the more magically inclined Shiro. Currently Tor directs secret negotiation with King Bob to rekindle the truce and unite the two kingdoms by marriage using his own daughter, Sakura, to end the war and join to two kingdoms.
No one save for Torin and Bob know of this, since they are still hammering out the details of the accord and marriage. Soon, provided all goes well, Tor will unite the two kingdoms and separate the dragons once more so that they may never be released from their servitude.
Item: None currently, but he does have plans for acquiring one of the God Weapons, preferably the supposedly lost Mace or mysterious Jewelry.
