Sara Lackmore - Baron of Levinas
Sara Lackmore (437 AQ - ) is a gnome revolutionary, politician, and Baron of Levinas.
Lackmore was born in Phobos in an independent Levinas. Her family claimed a distant kinship to Welby the Great, but had no titles and her parents were artisans, working hard to provide for themselves. Lackmore joined the Church of Pelor and trained in arms and prayer. She was blessed by the gods with divine magical power and honed her own martial talent. She was anointed a Paladin of Pelor and travelled Levinas defending its citizens from danger.
When the Elves of Correlon raided Kristallnacht, Lackmore responded by joining the Army of Levinas. She was a soldier in the raids on the islands of Correlon by Levinas. When Baron Hellstrom quarantined the city of Kristallnacht due to the zombie outbreak Lackmore assisted in maintaining the border, as well as donating food and supplies to those still within the city.
In 488 AQ as Farrah invaded Lackmore was strongly opposed to surrender. When the negotiated terms included disarming the Levinian Army Lackmore defected and escaped, keeping her weapons. She vowed she would not let her people live under the yolk of foreign occupiers.
Lackmore spent years seeking allies in Levinas and abroad to oppose Farrah. Lackmore sought assistance from the Harpers, Unified Esteria, and the Inta Kingdom. She worked with Hellstrom's Angels before they were destroyed by Occam's Purges. All her work appeared to be for naught as her land was exploited, her people taxed and oppressed, and the lion's share of the wealth of Levinas shipped to the west.
Then, in 519 AQ an angel with black hair descended from the skies bearing a weapon, the Sword of Levinas. This sword had been thought lost when Farrah invaded. It would only catch fire for the true heir and rightful ruler of Levinas. When Lackmore took hold of the blade it ignited.
Armed with this powerful symbol and a clear sign that the heavens supported them Lackmore was able to quickly rouse more warriors and donations than ever before. She spurred a weakened, underground resistance into a powerful revolution. The movement was well timed, with Farrah suffering military defeat at Chixculub and financial ruin when Wells Fargo collapsed.
The Farran Lord in charge of oppressing her lands, Lord Galahar, fled for his life. Most of Levinas rose up shortly after this. The last holdout was the city of Fortuna (formerly Kristallnacht). Much of the population there was Farran as the original citizens of Levinas had died during the zombie outbreak.
Lackmore led the siege of Fortuna, keeping the city under great pressure for years until in 522 AQ the black haired angel returned. Seeing this sign from the gods, and not willing to wait any longer for peaceful surrender, Lackmore ordered the city stormed.
With her victory in Fortuna, Lackmore was able to claim to have freed the entire Levinian peninsula. She was named Baron Lackmore and she set to her work in strengthening her nation to ensure they never lost their independence again.
