"Well, honestly, I have been thinking about doing another adventure, and when I overheard your tale. I figured this would make a good adventure, considering what was found." Adventure, Markiel thought. That was one of the reasons why he came to this city, hoping to find another place to visit and gain a tale to tell people if he desired. It seemed that he found the right group for one if they accepted him, that is.
"But what I mean by a good fighter is that I know how to use and fight with a sword and shield." He gestured to his sword, seax, and his shield. "I am no novice, and I am no stranger to conflict." Markiel almost sighed there, not about his fighting skills, but he is indeed no stranger to conflict. He was raised in one, and that conflict he does not wish to see anytime soon.
"I can handle myself is what I am getting at, and I am an experienced traveler if that means anything to you." Markiel hoped that was enough and was willing to say more if needed. Hoping that this will not be a missed opportunity, and he can see this vault. But, it is up to Hagen, and now Markiel is waiting for his response.

The year is 2025, and the galaxy is a different place since the fall of the Goa'uld Empire and the end of the war with the Ori. The Free Laffa Nation was free to rebuild and continued to enjoy their freedom. The Tok'ra would find a boon, for a new Goa'uld queen was discovered who shared the same beliefs as their original queen. This Goa'uld queen Ish would bring about a new age for the Tok'ra as they were finally able to grow their numbers and no longer feel the threat of going extinct. They developed into a proper nation called the Tok'ra Republic.
Meanwhile, Stargate Command, in the peace that followed, would grow and further advance human technology along with expanding Stargate Command's influence and bases in the galaxy. Developing more ships and the Stargate Command Fleet is now around ten ships. While the rest of Earth remains oblivious to this, and Stargate Command is keen on keeping it this way for now.
Even in the Pegasus Galaxy, tensions have lowered between the Pegasus Expedition and the Wraith after the fall of Queen Death and the partition of the galaxy between the Wraith and the Pegasus Expedition. This was aided by a retrovirus that made it no longer automatically fatal to the human when a Wraith feeds on them while the Wraith still gets enough sustenance out of it. Though the Pegasus Expedition and Stargate Command are still cautious of the Wraith.
The only threat to this peace was the Lucian Alliance in their conflict with Stargate Command. Which ten years ago, the conflict escalated until the Free Jaffa Nation and the Tok'ra were forced to intervene on the side of Stargate Command. Starting a war that would end with the Lucian Alliance being defeated and dissolved. Only a few remnants remained and were not deemed a threat to anyone anymore.
Now, it is a new age for the Milky Way as a new generation of Stargate Command personnel is prepared to explore the galaxy further and ensure the peace that has graced the galaxy. But, unknown to most, a new threat is rising in the galaxy. Something forgotten has returned to the galaxy. Whether or not Stargate Command can stop this threat before it is too late is the question.

Hello and welcome to the rp. In this rp, you will be playing as the new generation of Stargate Command personnel will be
House Glycas is a bit of an oddity in the Ninehold. A remnant of a once proud people whose empire in Karthos has long since fallen. A house that itself and its people only came to their new home of Salt Spire centuries ago during a war within the Ninehold of Aethoria. Salt Spire was the reward for their help in said war, and since settling Salt Spire. They have proved to be an adaptable and hardy people. Doing what they can to survive while holding on to what old traditions they still have. While House Glycas is a clear example of this, even before earning control of Salt Spire. They are seen as what is left of a dead empire, but still one that is holding on despite the passage of time.
The current lord of Salt Spire, Valens Glycas, a reserved and quiet man who has, despite his outward demeanor. Valens can be a passionate, if a secretive person. This showed during the war, though a supporter of Rowan during the conflict. He did so in secret by sabotaging and disrupting the royal fleet when he could, and he exposed his real allegiance during the final battle of the war. Since then, Lord Valens has been quiet on Salt Spire, investing what funds he has to improve the island while making contacts with the captains of the royal navy. However, unknown to most, Valens has plans for his house and is patiently biding his time to amass both wealth and power while steering his house towards a better life.
Lady Psella, while the opposite of Valens. She being open, expressive, and lively. Psella is one of the few who know who her husband really is and knows of his plans for the house. While she does support her husband in these endeavors. Psella has taken up the role of raising the family when he is busy. Ensuring they do not stray too far from what Valens has in mind for them and ensuring that said plans are carried out.
The oldest son in the family, by three minutes, Arethas, takes after his father. Inheriting his father's quiet nature and strive towards tradition. While not a lively as his younger brother, people mistake his quiet nature as harmless. This betrays his cunning and drive. Something that does surprise people once they get to know the real Arethas. Thanks to his father, Arethas was able to visit the other main interest of the island. He learned how to be a sailor and captain, along with the normal education a noble like him would have. What Arethas wants the most is to make his father proud and bring prestige to the family name. More so, while he is at the capital, where he is on display for all to see. Arethas's only worry is what antics his brother will do and possibly harm the family's name.
The second son, by three minutes, Maurus while born in the same hour as his older brother. Those three minutes would define him as of lesser importance to his father's plans. Though given the same education as his older brother and the same privileges. Maurus realized that being second in line, he would never gain anything of value or worth. Which made him indifferent to the whole thing, and instead, he focused his efforts on personal projects. As in drinking, womanizing, and other fruitless activities. At least to the levels his father was willing to tolerate. Though beneath this visage lies an intelligence that seeks a challenge and an equal. Maybe he will find it in the capital. Or at least, find someone fun to spend some time with.
The youngest and only daughter of the family. Ionnia largely takes after her mother, friendly and expressive. Though with a hint of her father, and surprisingly, she can be quite secretive. Showing a second side to her. Like her brothers, she was given the same education as their father wanted, but unlike her brothers. Ionnia has an interest in knowledge and people. Wanting to know how people tick and what compels them. Along with seeking to learn more about the bonds that connect people, the good and the bad. She does not know what to expect during her stay at the capital and simply hopes it will be a good time for her.
A former mercenary who, after Valens saved his life and nursed him back to health. Cyril has offered his services to protect the Glycas family as a means of paying Valens back for saving his life. Which he acts as their bodyguard while they stay at the capital.
