Almerahd Deneith

The Windriders were a fabled company of house Deneith. They specialized in flying over the enemy and dropping down on their heads casting spells as they fell through the sky sowing chaos and panic before they reached the ground to hack through those remaining with their weapons. This team had a problem though, because of their very specific training they lacked the discipline that gets drilled into most Deneith Soldiers. In fact their...enthusiasm...made it impossible for them to simply be rented as soldiers, and they were rather bought for specific missions that were left to their discretion.

Near the end of the Last War they were set with the defense of an important fort in Brelland, when they received word that the Karnathi had captured a group of civilians and were keeping them in a camp not far from the fort. The head of the Windriders, Tharn, had a friend whose wife and child was taken there, and he concocted a plan to rescue all of the hostages, which he presented to the commander of the fort. The commander refused saying that the fort was to important to risk sending out their best soldiers on a rescue mission. Infuriated with the commander and not willing to let his friend's wife and son stay captive in a Karnathi camp, Tharn offered his Windriders a choice, follow him to the camp to rescue the civilians and face any punishment that followed, or stay at the fort, and claim ignorance to their leaders plan thus being exempt from any of the backlash. Most of the Windriders chose to follow Tharn and those that chose to stay decided to in order to cover for their fellows. Two of the Widnriders that went on the mission were "The Terrible Twins" Almerahd and Jorad Deneith.

The plan worked but the situation was worse then they had thought. The Karnathi were deserters from the military and were using their captives life energy to fuel some terrible ritual having to do with the Dragon Prophecies. As bad as that may seem, this was the only reason every single one of the Windriders weren't arrested, and possibly executed, because while they were gone, the Aundairians launched a surprise assault on the fort they were supposed to be protecting and took it.

As a result of this the Winderiders were dispanded and all of her members were put on probation until such a time that they can prove to the leaders of House Deneith that they are capable of fighting rank and file with the other soldiers.
