High Priest Jose Paul(estalia)
"Jose Paul was born in the Temple of Myrmidia, to a young woman that had died during childbirth. He has started his training as a Warrior Priest when he was a child. When he was a young man, he traveled to Tilea, The Empire, and Bretonnia, learning first hand their ways of war and government. He has even attended the Collage of Altdorf for a year. When he returned to Estalia, he discovered that the High Priest was dieing. The High Priest announced to the Clerics and Cardinals that Jose Paul will succeed him as High Priest. Jose Paul is the youngest High Priest to take this office.
One year after he became High Priest, Jose Paul led the defenders of the Temple of Myrmindia against the forces of Nourgul. He had pleaded with the king for assistance. The king replied that if he would supply him with his personal guard for half of the treasury of the temple. Paul refused, and chose to arm the refugees that were in the temple instead. Most of the refugees volunteered.
After the battle was won, Jose Paul was greatly enraged by the level of corruption at every level of the government, and that there is no longer a strong central government. He chose to lead a personal campaign against the corrupt Dons and reunite the country. He has been gaining support from honest Dons allover the country. The most notable are Don Gomez Ramirez, the Armada Commander, and the Governor of Bilbali, Don Paco Castro.

King Don Raphael Sanchez(estalia)
"In the past, before the Arabian Crusades the kingdom was strong and complete with power over the courts and the Dons. At that time, the King had the power to appoint and dismiss Dons as he saw fit. The only checks and balances that this government had was the Temple of Myrmidia's High Priest. The High Priest had the power to veto any dissension the king made if they deemed it against the holy law of the Temple of Myrmidia.
But after the Crusades, the king was missing and the government fell into chaos. Many of the Dons started to fight amongst them selves. The High Priest of Myrmidia demanded that the strongest of the Dons meet at the Temple. The High Priest told them that their fight for power has hurting the people and upsetting their god. He then ordered them to pick one of their number; one that they would follow and trust as king. They chose Don Raphael Sanchez to be king. As King, Sanchez did every thing he could do to rebuild the now broken country. The Dons did give the new King their support, only because Sanchez had the loyalty of the entire army of Estalia, since he had lead most of them against Sultan Jaffar.
During his reign, King Sanchez rebuilt the country and its people prospered. Even Greenskins and Beastmen raids were significantly reduced do to the regular patrols of the Villanios and Tilean Mercenaries paid with the king's gold. The most significant action that he did was lay the groundwork for a trade and exploration, which in later years were abused by corrupt Dons."

Marco Colombo(tilea)
"In 1492 by the Imperial Calendar, a Tilean merchant prince by the name of Marco Colombo discovered the land of Lustria. Of course, the Norse were the first Men to truly discover the distant continent, and indeed established their first colony there centuries earlier, but Marco didn't let that detail stop him taking full advantage of the boundless wealth on offer, and taking full credit for his ‘discovery’. Soon Marco Colombo led a second expedition to Lustria, intent upon opening up a southern sea route from which his family could monopolise trade with the so-called New World.
But covetous rivals discovered Marco’s plans and were jealous of his achievements. They gathered to contest his monopoly, and a race to plunder the riches of the New World began. Across the world, armies boarded vessels and navigators consulted crumbling charts and maps (often of dubious origin and purchased from inebriated old sea dogs). In other lands, some looked towards the approaching invasion with dread, for they knew that the young races were never meant to tread the realms of the Old Ones. And all the while, the denizens of the jungle stirred their defences, for they sensed a new era dawning – a time of invasion and desecration – but they would not sit idly by and see their work of millennia cast down and ruined."
The divine twins, Lucan and Luccina
"There is a legend that Luccini was founded by the twins Lucan and Luccina who were king and queen of a pastoral tribe who settled around the ruin-strewn acropolis. On its summit they built their palace.
The city was named after Luccina who is regarded as a sort of patron goddess. Lucan is also venerated as a deity and there is a fine temple to the divine twins on the acropolis. The Princes of Luccini usually claim descent from these two legendary figures which means that there are two rival factions: those claiming descent from Lucan and those claiming Luccina as their ancestor. Not surprisingly, the principality has changed hands between these dynasties more times than anyone can remember, and not without blood being spilt as abundantly as wine in the notorious revels for which the city is famous!
The Princes of Luccini are noted for their often bizarre sense of humour, a family trait said to go back to their ancestors. If anyone claims to be Prince who seems to be rather dour or miserable he is soon assassinated or banished into exile by a more jovial contender. Indeed, an aspiring Prince often strengthens his claim before the citizens by assassinating or overthrowing his opponents in a particularly humourous manner! So it is said that "The Prince of Luccini is most dangerous when he is laughing!" "
If we have some unfitting text we'll probably will get echos as soon we have the patch out and we have some playtesters again. Easy to change it in this case then.
