SECTION TWO: HISTORY & ORIGINS

    Celia’nor, the city of stars and embers, started as just that, an ember amidst the fire of the world that raged on around them. Yet, amidst that fire the high elven people were left in the darkness. They were led by Ivarielle Ibarellan to found Celia’nor as a haven for the high elven people to prosper  after the civil war of Haelun’or. The families that had assisted with the effort of founding the new city and fighting bravely against the oppressors of the high elves had been given the titles of nobility for their loyalty and bravery. The first of the founding families were that of the Ibarellan, the royal family of Celia’nor, Valwynn, the secondary royal family of Celia’nor which once presided over court, and Wynasuls, who helped with bringing life to the culture.
 

    From this spark of an ember amongst the starlight, the city of Fi’andria only grew into a bustling capital for Celia’nor. More families migrated into the city and more were recognized for their efforts as society continued and grew through a variety of paths. Some families are more militaristically inclined, others through service of society and proving that their kin is productive for the sake of the Principality. There were some such as the Nulvarii who prospered amongst the courts, and the Py’lrie who succeeded in the politics of elvendom for Celia’nor; followed by the Athri’onn who is a family dedicated to the magical arts and creating advancements in the Arcane. All of whom have stood by loyally since the creation of the ember of the Westlands that has burned brightly because of each of these families that have proven themselves worthy of recognition time and time again.

SECTION THREE: PROCESS OF ENNOBLEMENT

    The nobility of Celianor is for the most dedicated of productive members of society. The path of nobility is a versatile one, it is through dedicated service to the Principality of Celia’nor. The paths can be one or multiple, through working in the government as stewards, assisting with the quartermasters, in politics, contributing to magical advancements within the city, running a thriving guild that provides to Fi’andria. Yet, these are not the only ways that one might attain a high standing in society.  It is through stellar progress that the people thrive in tandem with the Principality.  
 

    Once an individual or family has proven themselves and their loyalty to the Principality, it will be announced during court and an oathing ceremony will occur with either the individual's accomplishments brought to light in front of Celian society or the entire family swearing their fealty.
