The only Lechian, noble house in Almaris, founded back in Arcas by representatives of houses Batory and Svarogovich. Despite its almost two hundred year history, it is a relatively new noble house. House Jazlowiecki is a good example of how, through hard work and faith in one's own abilities, simple people can achieve wealth and prosperity.

THE MOST NOTABLE MEMBERS OF HOUSE JAZLOWIECKI

 

Aleksander Józef Batory

(1676-1770)

 

 

The first Lechian to set foot on Arcas soil, Aleksander Józef was a well-known soldier in the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. He served the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska during the War of the Two Emperors. He joined the army as a young adult and there he met his friends, thanks to whom his newly established House gained the seeds of fame. He was known for his honesty, common sense and fervent faith in God. A friend and early supporter of House Barclay. During the War of the Two Emperors, he was one of the leading Landsers in the First Landser Corps, commanded by Wilheim Barclay. Aleksander met Wilheim through his cousin Mikhail Svarogovich, before the Barclays became a noble house in Haense. Known among the minor nobility and commoners in Haense as "Aleksy". In his prime he was commanding the Moroz Company with Mikhail.

 

Aleksander Paweł Batory

(1773-1851)

 

Grandson of Aleksander Józef, born in Karosgrad at May's Alley V. Like his ancestors, he was a professional soldier in the ranks of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, when Manfred Barclay was in the office of Lord Marshal. Bookkeeper of Vasiland and People's Tribune to the Haeseni Duma. He renewed the relationship with House Barclay and Vanir that his father has destroyed. Dedicated to the cause, he fought for Haense to the end of his life. Known for his poise, high level of intelligence and astute responses during public debates. Despite the fact that he lived in the shadow of his grandfather's achievements, he led a prosperous life and was surrounded by friends. Founder of House Jazlowiecki.

 

Venerable Borys Jazlowiecki

(1810-1869)

 

 

Firstborn son of Aleksander II, Haeseni by birth and Savoyard by allegiance. He became famous in Savoy for his loyalty to the House Barclay von Savoy, where he served as Hauptmann under Ernst Barclay. He was the first of his family to receive a title of nobility, first receiving the Barony under his rule, and with systematic and hard work rising to the title of Margrave. A veteran of the Savoyard Civil War, witness of all four coups and a survivor of thanhium bombing that destroyed San Luciano. Awarded the rank of Lord Commander (Lord Marshal) of the Argent Legion for his loyalty and dedication to the Savoyard cause. He fought in wars against Oren, and led the Argent Legion to every single battle. 

 

Mikhail Svarogovich

(1675-1765)

 

 

He came to Arcas and joined Haeseni ranks at the invitation of his cousin. Famous soldier of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl, during the War of the Two Emperors. Friend of Wilheim Barclay and one of the Landser Corps founders, he was also the first commander of Moroz Company. Founder of House Svarogovich in Arcas. Mikhail was a skillful trader and owner of estates in Reza and Thyra. Known Priorist and an enemy of non-humans. He was a brilliant strategist, devoted friend and loving father. Famous among the nobility of the time, and was popular as a Sergeant in the BSK. He was frequently invited to numerous meetings. Mikhail was an example of a true Lechian until his death.

 

Holy Sir August Jazlowiecki

(1810-1914)

 

 

August was born in Haense, but spent his youth in Providence. He managed to persuade his cousin Borys to come to Oren, where they lived together for several years. Then, after his cousin's strenuous insistence, he moved to Savoy.  After many years of active service to the church as a Holy Knight and to Savoy as a devoted soldier, he was awarded the title of Baron in the territory of Lvinsk by his cousin. True to his new homeland, he fought for it in the Savoyard Civil War. August, in contrast to his cousin, was reluctant to revisit memories of times when their family lived in Haense. He was known for his hereditary hatred of Elves, zealous faith and temperamental personality.

 

Saint Tylos II

(1819-1876)

 

 

Born as Fiodor Jazlowiecki, he was one of the most devoted believers in the history of the house. From a young age, when he and his cousins served in Savoy, he showed great affection for the teachings of the church. As a young adult he became a priest, and over the following years he climbed the ecclesiastical hierarchy until, by a decision of the cardinals, he was elected the new High Pontiff. Prudent, pious and above all calm and composed, he advised his cousins at important moments in their lives. He always tried to be guided by the words he found in the sacred scrolls. Fiodor never wanted to become the Pontiff, yet he recognised that such a fate had fallen to him by the will of God and he would carry this burden to the very end. After his canonisation he became the Patron Saint of Lechians.

 

Maciej Jazlowiecki

(1853-1891)

 

 

Born as the second son of Margrave Borys III and Sophia Jazlowiecki-Barclay, shortly before the Savoyard Civil War. He spent the years of his youth in San Luciano and then, after the fall of Savoyard capital, in Krakovia. He trained with his father to become a knight, but his father's health prevented him from fully developing his skills. When young Matthias was ten, his mother passed away, and a few years later so did his father. He ruled Lvinsk until the return of his elder brother Stanislaw, as Lord Regent. After the dissolution of Savoy, he moved to the Oren where he met his future wife, Lady Ottilie Franziska Castile. Stanislaw died less than five years after relocating to the western lands of the Kingdom of Oren, forcing Maciej to become the new Margrave. Inheriting most of his father's and mother's qualities, Maciej handled the task perfectly. 

 

Bianka Ophelia Jazlowiecki

(1880-1909)

 

 

Born in the Margraviate of Grodno in 1880, as the second daughter of Margrave Maciej and Margravine-consort Ottilie Franziska. Since childhood, she has manifested a markedly different lifestyle from her sisters. She was tough and unyielding like her father, beautiful and smart like her mother. She lived through a difficult period in the history of the house, by not only surviving the Harvest Revolution, but also seeing the death of her parents - people who were supposed to protect her, and her siblings at all times and cost. Confronted with the death of loved ones, she had to grow up quickly and during the severe illness of her sister Walentyna, and the disappearance of Borys IV, she took over the reins of the family at the age of just seventeen. She stabilised part of the house in the Commonwealth of Petra, and did whatever she could for those who followed. The life of Bianka, first Jazlowiecki Matriarch, ended in 1909 when she stood up for the Archduchess Renilde of Petra, during the Petran civil war. Supporters of Archduchess' husband, including her own husband Louie d'Azor, murdered her in cold blood for supporting the Crown. 

 

Jan Jazlowiecki 

(1881-1926)

 

 

Born as the bastard child of Margrave Maciej I Jazlowiecki, Jan never expected much from life. He spent his childhood in the hardships of the Harvest Revolution where he mainly took care of order in Grodno. He swept, mopped floors, carried supplies to the guardhouse. After the exodus and death of his father, he moved with his family to Petra. He did not live there for long, as in 1907 he came to an agreement with the Prince of Merryweather, Ottomar von Alstreim, who offered him the Grodno Plateau, Jan's former home, in exchange for support. Two years later, Jan was crowned Count of Warsovia and swore allegiance to his new Waldenian liege. To strengthen the ties between the two houses, he married Ottomar's sister, Adelheid Viktoria, with whom he had seven children. Jan remained loyal to both Ottomar von Alstreim and the King of Aaun, Bonnie Prince Charlie Alstion, until his death. He abdicated in favour of his son Waclaw Jakub in 1922.

 

Ser Wacław Jakub Jazlowiecki 

(1907-1973)

 

First-born son of Jan the Restorer, second Count of Warsovia and Head of the House of Jazlowiecki, born in 1907. Ser Waclaw guided his family through the period of the wars against the Mori and saw to it that all the family possessions, together with its members, arrived safely at Aevos, where, together with his cousins Heinrich II Alstreim and Mikhail Jazlowiecki, he built New Warsovia, which still remained subject to the Principality of Merryweather. In his youth he married his only wife, Isavella von Theonus, with whom he had two children, one son and future Count of Warsovia, Krzysztof, and one daughter, Roza. After the death of his wife, Lord Jazlowiecki continued to work for the glory of his Kingdom, serving as a knight and, at the end of his career, even Grand Master.  Lord Waclaw remained loyal to the Crown of Alstion throughout his life, fighting on the side of the Crown Loyalists during a failed coup led by the House of Stassion of the West March. He died peacefully in his castle in 1973.

 

Krzysztof Paweł Jazlowiecki 

(1933-Now)

 

First-born son of Waclaw, third Count of Warsovia and head of the Jazlowiecki household, born in 1933. Already as a young boy, Count Krzysztof had to endure the hardships of the war against the League of Veletz and experience the death of his sovereign Edmund II and uncle Heinrich II at the hands of Stassion usurpers on the day of his birthday in the year 1952. Count Krzysztof's reign came in the post-war period, a period of relative peace and prosperity. The young Count served King John faithfully, guarding his forests and the game that lived within them. In a private wedding ceremony, he married the Princess of Haense, Isabella Theodora Barbanov-Bihar, with whom he had only one son, Jan Aleksander. The Count was never a social type, preferring the solitude and silence of his domain. In order to lead his life in peace, he abdicated in 1983 at the age of 50.

 

Jan II Aleksander Jazlowiecki 

(1958-Now)

 

Jan II is the fourth and at the same time the last Count of Warsovia. Born as the only child of Krzysztof Paweł, he was bestowed the honour of becoming a Count at the age of just 25, in the year of our Lord 1983. Jan served the Crown of Alstion faithfully as a soldier and shortly afterwards as a knight in the Order of the Black Dragon. Jan II was invested as Margrave of Grodno during the reign of Charles II, who relocated the House of Jazlowiecki to the banks of the River Constance where they rebuilt the fortress of Grodno using old schematics found by the margravial scribe.

CULTURE

The whole family is of Lechian descent. This culture originated from a distant continent called Vistulia. Every Jazlowiecki is guided by principles known to every Lechian, among others "Żyć i Służyć" which in common means "To Live and to Serve". Lechians are a very pious people, strongly believing in the Holy Church. They visit a church every seven days, to spend at least an hour on praying and praising God. Males of Lechian descent are also very often seen in the ranks of different armies, as they are usually tall and very strong. In addition every young boy gets his basic military training in his childhood as it's a part of his upbringing.
