Around 900 years ago, Tuyen Kin Lucian Neal was born to a king by the name of Tzar, his mother died in the process. The king was the lord of a Land by the name of Ravenloft, he was a just ruler, and a good father, when his son was bitten by a weretiger, he could not kill him, so he banished him instead.
Tuyen wandered for the next 150 years, during the time he rose through the ranks of the Druids of the Lycan woods (Kingdom two of the 3 that compose my kingdom) The lycan woods by tradition, was ruled over by the Arch-Druid. When his teacher and mentor the Arch-Druid Rotec died, Tuyen was granted the title, and thus his first rulership.
A small unnamed kingdom at the edge of the lycan woods, and between it and Ravenloft prepared to invade the Lycan Woods. ~650 years ago they did so. They expected to slaughter the 'beasts' instead they were driven back, the very forest it's self turning against them.
100 years later that kingdom had grown a bit, they sent one of the princesses to try to negotiate a treaty. And one was made, for Tuyen fell in love with the girl, he married her, and trade prospered.
On the eve of his 450th birthday, Tuyen came to a realization that lycantropy is not a curse, it is a blessing, and he set off on a mission to his homeland. While he was gone a coup was attempted in the unnamed country, the king was killed, the right of rulership passing down to his only surviving heir, his daughter.
When Tuyen returned, his father having found his reasoning sound and reinstating his position as heir to the throne it was to find his queen deluded, driven insane by grief. Despite all that he tried to do to console her she took her own life in the night, leaping from the highest tower of the lycan palace.
(Two kingdoms under Tuyen's belt now, and he's heir to the third) He continued ruling for another hundred years, we are now about 350 years from the present, he discovered an ancient tome telling of a way to open a portal to another realm, being curious he did, stepping through he wound up on the borders of the kingdom of Elenia, he fell in love again with it's queen and soon married her, he opened a portal to travel freely between Elenia and the Lycan woods finally at peace.
This peace was not to last however, he recieved word that his father had died. Another kingdom he had found and called his home, Elysium, was going to war with the kingdom Maryinov under the rule of Darius, Tuyen rallied his forces, opening portals all across the battlefield, his troops steeping through, lycans, elves, dwarves, and men.
Elysium won the battle, Lamia taking the life of Darius. Realizing that if he could bring this many people across the planes, he decided to do it with the 3 kingdoms as well, and with a great use of power was able to do so. A short while later, he and his wife had a 'disagreement' which led to lamia taking his life. He returned shortly thereafter with the help of a time elemental, in time for the birth of his son Mingan, (43 years before present) Mingan was not the son of he and his wife, but a child conceived by the touch of a Ja'ziq's magic.
The mother was not his wife, but his wife's daughter, Heavenly Sin. Within another month, Tuyen delivered the Queen Ilia and his twins, one boy, one girl. Without staying to hear their names he turned and left, the portals to his home shattering. His son came to power, and has ruled over the kingdom which Tuyen named Tzar in his fathers memory, the three lands bound together.
Mingan has since taken a queen, Jamila Aliena, their are 2 princes and a princess, the oldest, a 5 year old named James, the heir to the throne, the younger two, twins. She is pregnant again, and Mingan returned Tzar to it's home plane, reopening the portals between here and there. Tuyen once more returning to this world.
Author notes
It was something I wrote for the Roleplay on Allpoetry, a history of two of my characters, and my kingdom, I liked it, as did a couple others who were there when I posted it so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Hmm
First I've heard of a weretiger, but I assume it is like a werewolf. I got confused at the end of the story. There seemed to be characters popping up from no where. I feel like there needs to be some clarification and more description to this story. Thanks for entering.

I actually wrote this for a roleplaying group on allpoetry, I was told by one of my friends that it was good so I figured 'what the hell' and posted it. The characters are all played by real people, Mingan and Tuyen the ones I play, Jamila is my real life girlfriend. The children just non player characters we created because she wanted to have a family in the roleplay.
I hope that clears it up some for you.
