Marcus Miene

Marcus Miene /maɪn/, also sometimes known as Marcus Mienes /maɪnz/, was a Third Era knight and landowner who freelanced in the Romasti Kingdoms. He amassed a great fortune and formed a small army that loyally followed him into battle. This group was later known as the Mieners Faction.

The Romagaulan Sagas
Angered by the invading Romagaulan settlers in East Frisia, Miene and his close friend, Basq h'Artel, decided to slay a local Romagaulan governor, Gabel Moire, to prevent the further spread.

In E.3 211, Miene, h'Artel, the Mieners, and several other famous fighters (more close friends of Miene) marched up to the Palace of the Sun in the East Frisia city of Gagkel. Inside, Miene and h'Artel found Moire sitting on his glass throne and they proceeded to unsheathe their swords. A Romagaulan scribe, Barthus Messale, captured the scene in his recount A King on the Steps:

''And upon the crystal throne sat the wise Gabel Moire and from the wooden doors came Miene and h'Artel in their barbarish delights. They called unto my master,''

''"Leave our lands, foolish one, or die!" shouted the one with the elegant helm.''

''"Nay, barbs!" shouteth my master.''

''"So die!" shouteth the barbs.''

''My master, he rose from the crystal but it was too late. Miene plunged his sword into the master's heart. My king, beith deceased.''

The barbs, they laugh and clean their blades and I am left to clean up the remains of a king on the steps.
