The Marble Chapter

1752 - Present

 

 

The House of Pruvia is a cadet branch of the House of Horen, and the former ruling house of both the Kingdom of Vandoria and the Kingdom of Lotharingia. Their sigil is a single ivory dragon holding a red peony displaying many similarities from the House they descend from. A historic line that has stood the test of time through numerous empires; whom’s culture has become a blend of Johannian and Rhenyari traditions and customs in honor of their ancestors. This famed House has been known for creative thinkers, martial leaders, exceptional mediators, and renowned architects that carved their names in history.

This chapter of Pruvia began with the union of Anna Maria of Pruvia and Cyrus Basrid. Together, they had four young children together, but Cyrus’ duties in the military and politics kept him away from Kaedrin. Anna Maria stayed in the Varoche Palace where she cared for her offspring, most notably the heir apparent of Pruvia, John Michael. From a young age, John Michael was a scholarly child, interested in the world around him and the wide selection of books at his disposal. At the age of thirteen, the young Pruvian boy had travelled to Helena to reside there with his father until he was old enough to be commissioned into the Imperial State Army in admiration of both of his parents who served.

 

 

 Some after, Anna Maria would develop a rare lung disease which bound her to a bed in the Novellen Palace where she would eventually succumb to her illness. During this time, Pruvia had experienced friction within itself, disputes about unmerited titles and renown. The death of Anna Maria was the boiling point where the opportunists and thieves within Pruvia came out of the woodwork and showed their true intentions. John Michael’s legitimacy as heir of House Pruvia was challenged by his own family, which ultimately rescinded the principality title from the family and made them into two separate viscounties, Pruvia-Provins and Pruvia-Albarosa.

After Anna Maria’s funeral, her body was burned and the ashes drifted up into the seven skies, John Michael became Viscount of Pruvia-Provins and continued to study as a medic for many years, eventually reforming the medical corps and becoming a lieutenant in the ISA. During this time, he found the love of his life in the military, Casimira de Sarkozy, the daughter of George Casimir. After many years of courting one another, the viscount had proposed to her atop Mont St.Catherine. Together, they had created a loving family at their estate and currently reside in the Northern Province enjoying their retirement.

Their son, Simon Casimir, had married Her Imperial Highness Anne Caroline and is currently celebrating the start of his own family. He found a talent in swordsmanship and gained inspiration to follow in his parent’s footsteps by joining the ISA with an aspiration to lead his own brigade as captain. Simon is the youngest to have ever be inducted into the 4th Brigade, the ISA’s most trustworthy soldiers.

Anna Henrietta, the charming young woman from Provins became the first female governess of the Palace to run the Imperial Court and Household in Orenian history where she manages the numerous duties to care for the Imperial family and other nobility. She is the acting regent of Carrington due to the sudden disappearance of her husband and the loving mother of seven small children.

The children have left the nest to pursue their own dreams and ambitions. Create their own loving families. Anna Maria looks below from the Seven Skies and beams brightly as she watches what her son had done and more for their family. Pruvia has prevailed through many downfalls, hardships, and shortcomings, but the love of one another and strong family bonds have made them stronger than ever.

 

And so the Marble Chapter continues...

Anna Henrietta beams with Pruvian pride- her chest puffing up almost unconsciously as she thought fondly of her family.

[Archduchy of Lorraine 287]

From abroad, those who maintained the true legacy and values of Lorraine and Lotharingia would look upon this document with intrigue...

 

Perhaps the Pruvians of Provins were the ones who might bring about a new age for the Archduchy, under the banner of the true and most-canonist Church.

From abroad, those who maintained the legacy and values of Lorraine and Lotharingia would look upon this document with intrigue...

A lone traveler would sit and wonder how you claim to maintain the legacy and values or Lorraine and Lotharingia when you follow the red faith.

Anne Caroline's eyes widened upon noticing that she had been painted whilst holding someone's hand. "Outrageous!" the Novellen-born exclaimed in embarassment.

"Though house Pruvia- yes... surely this union will bring further prosperity to my own and their family."

She then turned the missive away and returned her attention to her half-finished painting.
