PRINCELY ROYALTY

The House of Alimar has ancient roots that can be traced back to the days of the great Carrion kings. Despite its proud lineage, the House of Alimar began as a simple cadet house of the royal Barbanovs of Haense. The family’s founder, Prince Edward-Audemar Barbanov, was a dutiful and loyal seneschal to his brother, Sigmar I of Haense; however, it would be his grandson, Vladrick Hieromar, later Richard I, who would bring acclaim and status to his family. After the War of the Two Emperors, Vladrick would be granted the lands of Leuven by Emperor Godfrey II, thereby creating the Province of Rubern.
