A HISTORY OF ILUMNIKARL
(As you might guess, this is Karl's history, not really my own. It just goes to show what happens when you get a few high school kids together over a period of three years who are usually bored out of their minds.)
- Born Karl Richardson on April 23, 1973.
- Son of the Emperor Richardson.
- Had identical twin brother named Krul Richardson.
- Both brothers grew up together in a happy and peaceful country, until shortly after their 19th birthday when their father died.
- The empire was divided as to who should be Emperor, but not evenly. Support was divided among states, states were divided amongst towns and in some areas fighting began.
- There was struggle between the brothers, too. Karl wished to restore peace while Krul attempted to extend the fighting to delay his brother and gain favor among the elders. Once Karl realized this, he confronted his brother and the two began to fight.
- The two were separated by the council of elders; themselves torn as to which brother should rule.
- Armies were raised. A full scale war was waged between the two brothers.
- Finally, after many months of fighting, Karl became victorious and was seated at the throne of his once beautiful Empire.
- Parts of the Empire had revolted, such as Smurfdengonenstein and the Dark Side of the Moon. Another area, however, one more darker and treacherous than any other now served Karl's own brother, Krul.
- Under the title of Nux Vomica, Krul reigns this area waiting for the day when he can claim what is rightfully his. His only comfort in the meantime was knowing that he was able to destroy each member on the Council of Elders who had opposed him.
- Once having settled matters with his brother, Karl began to reassemble his Empire.
- He had made many allies during wartime such as Rafuzo The Warrior; Austin, secretary of the Treasury; and his two advisors Michael the Alchemist (constantly attempting to turn lead into gold, rarely trusted) and Chief Advisor Daniel- together they set out to reunite this Empire now renamed Karlonia.
- Smurfdengonenstein was the first territory recaptured by Karlonian forces. A young Minstrel named Gary was instrumental in the victory.
- Later came an attempt to recover the dark side of the moon, now under the control of Czar Eggbert. Karl, thinking the Czar had a dopey name, sent up a set of robotic ninjas to assassinate the Czar and return control of the moon to himself. The ninjas were less than successful and an accord was struck between the two rulers. Karl was given riches and access to the light side of the moon and the Czar was given Michael the Alchemist as a gesture of good faith.
- Finally, tired of the fighting and betrayal, Karl left his kingdom in the hands of his able heads and embarked on a spiritual journey; the results of which brought him beyond his wildest expectations.
- Now existing in a state of being which can only be reached through meditation and can be communicated from through electrons, Karl has transcended into the being now known as ILUMNIKARL.
- The inhabitants of Karlonia wait in hope that some day their Emperor will come back to them, but feel safe in knowing that in some way he is still with them.
