I wonder if the competition will be 2.5 times tougher than last week?
Well, I have a few entries.
First up is Plutus the Gem Lord
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Fk7HX8EQ5zE/VGujNvJ9DpI/AAAAAAAABRU/0fdTgAgtZ7g/s512/Anate_Plutus_the_Gem_Lord.jpg

She was born in the country of Zephyria, but at young age her village was attacked, and she was taken and sold as a slave in Mul-Dorvan. She was a slave on a merchant ship. Years later, she killed her master and freeing other slaves formed a pirate crew that spent its time attacking the slave ships of Mul-Dorvan.
Third up is Enion the Smith

Grimwulf the Horned Dread was a powerful warrior with ogre blood running through his veins during The Elemental Warriors. He often fought by the side of Gwendolen, and the two of them ended up being married. He also became friends with the air elemental Cumulus, who often accompanied Grimwulf into battle.
Next up we have fourth brothers. I give you Anemoi.

Zephyrus is also known as The Kindly West Wind. Merdinus ended up having Zephyrus agree to bind himself to the royal family of Zephyria (hence the name of the country). He is one of the four princes of The Air Elementals.
Second of the Anemoi, we have Notus.

He is served by Nimue, The Autumnal Lady, who was once a student of Merdinus. He believes that the weak should perish and the strong should survive. Nearing the end of his rebellion, The White Dragon bounded The Winter King in his humanoid form to limit the evil dragon’s power.

The Autumnal Lady Nimue was a Fomorian and descended from the royal family of Atlantis. She became a student of Merdinus and learned how to bond with Elementals to become a mage. However, she ended up bonding with four mad Elementals, Atra (a light elemental), Khaos (a water elemental), Decay (a wood elemental), and Destruction (an earth elemental). She was also the lover of Osric, another one of Merdinus’ students. When she ended up betraying Merdinus, Osric followed her.

Aniketos the Red Mage was one of Merdinus’ top students even though he only bonded four elementals.
