History

 

---

 

The Aevaris talonni traces its origins to the days of republican Haelun’or when Ellisar Aevaris and Aestenia Loralynn were married. For many years the family found some measure of peace and happiness there. Ellisar served as a sillumir, eventually being elected to the post of Okarir’tir. Aestenia managed the city’s tavern and was a well regarded physician. Their brother, Glynfir, was also a serving Sillumir and the three fought together through many battles of the Inferi war. Glynfir had been a child soldier, forced into harsh training by the old Diarchist government of Haelun’or. He wouldn’t remove his helmet for years, and went only by his first name.

 

With the fall of the republic, the family and their young oem’ii - Filvendor, Eden, and Astryn - were forced to flee Haelun’or lest they wind up in the acid pits for not toeing the new government’s line. They and many other ‘aheral families settled in Haense. Glynfir and Ellisar resumed their trade as soldiers, fighting with the HRA and BSK through many battles and Ellisar serving as a Lieutenant and Engineer. Aestenia returned to her work in the medical field becoming Surgeon General of Haense. It was in Haense that Ellisar and Aestenia welcomed their second youngest, Fenlar, who had to remain hidden in their frontierland estate lest the Haelun’orians hunting ‘impures’ or those born outside of Haelun’orian lands find him. Later, their youngest son, Eldrin, would endure the same though he was only an infant. During this time, their son Filvendor became a highly skilled alchemist, even beginning to teach the craft to his younger brother Fenlar. Eden, their eldest daughter, became a fully qualified physician, following in her mother’s footsteps. It was also during their stay in Haense that Glynfir was adopted into the Aevaris talonni.

 

As many other ‘aheral left Haense, the Aevaris remained, hoping to soften the hard attitude many had against mali in that nation. As their dear friends eventually passed on, and with no other mali to socialize with, the decision was eventually made to move to the lands of Fenn. Departing Haense on good terms, they resettled in Fenn with the most falling into their habitual careers once more. There, the Prince of Fenn formally acknowledged Glynfir’s adoption as an Aevaris. With the dissolution of the Princedom of Fenn, the Aevaris had to move once more. It was decided at this time that Glynfir should take up the position of Laurir of the family in order to grant Ellisar and Aestenia some time to rest and as acknowledgement of all Glynfir had contributed to the talonnii.

Finally, they settled in Celia’nor. Upon their arrival, the Princess Ivarielle graciously awarded the family the noble rank of Laurir and land on which to build their manor. As of the time of writing, it remains to be seen what the Aevaris will make of themselves within this new nation.

 

Values & Beliefs

 

---

 

The Aevaris talonnii value family above all, as is reflected in their family motto of “Family, Service, Honour”. This has been especially true since having to flee their homeland. The need for family security has been a driving factor in the military careers of both Ellisar and Glynfir, and the medical careers of Aestenia and Eden.

The family also has a strong tradition of service to the country they reside in, believing it to be their duty to serve in some capacity. Alchemists within the family supply the government, soldiers defend the land, and the doctors help the sick and injured.

 

Honour is important to the Aevaris as well. They will always try to do the right thing and follow their conscience, though will do whatever is necessary to protect their family.

 

The Aevaris tend to have a very dim view of the ‘aheral concept of purity and the ideological superiority that it feeds in current day Haelun’orian thinking. Having lived in so many different nations with so many different people and gotten to see first hand their abilities and skills, and being embraced as friends in each new home has soured most Aevaris’ on the concept of the ‘lesser’ or ‘mali’ata’. Instead, most of the family finds itself supporting the newest iteration of mali unity, hoping that it will lead to a safer and more peaceful future for their family and friends.
