Thread: A character from my series "Age Of Valor"

Hi everyone, I would someday like to become an writer/author as a career choice and I love writing and enjoy other's feedback. This here is an excerpt from a much larger story or I should say series I titled "Age Of Valor". The following is basically some info/stats and a bio on a character I named Dacium Galum, a jaded ex-military Warrior.

Bio: Dacium Galum was a moderately skilled swordsman whom, during his youth, was forced into the wicked Marcius’s Dominion to conquest Libya and Tunisia. Described as quiet and restrained, Dacium was often distant of others, but he was also very articulate and sound in his behavior, and he was great at writing scrolls and memoirs of his life. He was intelligent and knowledgeable, but in a jaded sense. He had a dark side, but it was believed, this may have been retained from his days following the orders of the Dominion Under command of the black hearted Marcius Marcellus.

However though, Dacium was a mere grunt in the Dominion hierarchy, therefore he never had to undergo any war action during any of the Dominion/Allied Force battles that took place in the early part of the first era of the Age Of Valor.

Thus he survived as a defect warrior, as well as a reluctant one from the start because he never wanted to serve, not supporting Marcius’s cause.

All of the best warriors from the Dominion were disposed of first, as Dacium Galum was in the very distant back ranks, nervously awaiting very likely death, though it did not come as the war ended mid first era in Leptis Magna (Neopolis).

Dacium wielded a sword he named “Erosus”, which in Latin meant “Serrated, Indented and Sharp”.

Dacium’s name meaning was known as “Down Bellow”.

2nd Era AOV

Dacium traveled to King Grendel III’s province and became a tavern guard at a place known as the Red Tavern (getting it’s name from the Mahogany colored wood constructing the place). However locals as well as the garrisons feared him because of his past and other notable dispositions. He spent most of the time hold up in the ancient tomb-like chambers hidden beneath the tavern, that very few were aware of.

Red Tavern incident

Dacium was involved in an incident that took place in the Red Tavern, later regarding him as a hero when he single handedly killed six murderous thieves that had apparently entered the tavern and mercilessly slaughtered all the peasants. Dacium Galum, whom was deaf in both ears, was unaware of the disturbance above him, as he lay in his dark private chambers below. Apparently when the thieves discovered the “trap door” leading to the tomb below, they met a very malicious ruin…

The story told of this was titled “Massacre at Red Tavern” and is renowned as a tale of suspense and vengeance. The story at first seems tragic but turns out a sweet and gruesome justice…

According to those whom was told the tale, they were unable to sleep for a week……

A garrison interviewed by a scribe once said, “Though we could not recognize the bodies of the six thieves, we knew justice was restored, though Dacium had an innate evil to him…but a necessary one at that.”


Deathuring the beginning of the third era of the Age of Valor, Dacium came down with a wicked cold and passed away while traveling the northlands attempting to make a trade with a Roman Fort. He was 77 years old.





Author Notes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I stated this is merely a branch off or side story to my series "Age Of Valor" that I would say indirectly affects the main plot. I am looking very forward to posting the Massacre at Red Tavern story in the future (Warning: Will be explicit)

This feels like a good break in and thank you. Feedback will be appreciated.


BTW, I'm new to these forums so I apologize that I did not go to the newbie section to introduce myself first.
