The Fang of Cloudbreaker: A bastard sword forged from dracanium, the rare alloy harvested from the skeletal remains of the dragon Cloudbreaker. It is believed to hold special properties, capable of being set alight with flame and unable to be extinguished by water or smothering. @Shmeepicus

 


 

House History:

The House of Novellen was born upon the union of Anne Augusta Helane, heiress-presumptive to the Holy Orenian Empire, and Joseph Clement de Sarkozy, Duke of Adria, in 1753. This formation of a new imperial house was a reflection of their eventual joint-rule, establishing a revered lineage that would last several generations.

 

The reign of Anne I and Joseph II is widely considered one of the greatest examples of Empire in humanity’s long history. Anne’s respect for her people and dedication to their service, combined with Emperor Joseph’s skilled acumen in regards to law and governance proved formidable. Their complimentary styles of rule led to the strengthening of the Holy Orenian Empire, both in terms of martial strength and national identity. Anne died in 1800, leaving the widowed-Philip to pass alone years later in 1814.

 

Their eldest son, John Charles, ascended to the imperial throne as John VIII. His rule was a continuation of his parent’s own, though it also began the gradual decline of imperial power. A successful soldier in his youth, Emperor John was far more interested in delegating business of the state to councilors and courtiers. However, his reign is also considered the final time Oren held unmatched supremacy that he oversaw and maintained. He died in 1837.

 

Leaving behind no heirs of his body, the Emperor’s brother would ascend the throne as Philip II. Bearing the same name as a notorious emperor of the Johannian Age, many were wary of this fanatically-pious man now living in his twilight years. Despite the efforts of his councilors and children, particularly his daughter the Princess Imperial Josephine Augusta, the deterioration of the Petrine-era systems previously installed by his forebears was inevitable. Following the murder of his son and heir, Prince Philip Aurelian, the elderly Emperor was overthrown by his grandson, Prince Philip Amadeus, in what became known as ‘The Aster Revolution’. It is believed he died in 1849, rumored to have been thrown into a canal by rebellious lords.

 

Philip III ascended to the throne following The Aster Revolution, ruling alongside his wife Anastasia vas Ruthern as co-rulers. Their reign came to an end in 1868, leading to the infamous conflict known as ‘The Brother’s War’, fought between the couple’s sons Peter IV and Prince Frederick. At this conflict’s conclusion, a great exodus from the ruins of the Holy Orenian Empire made way to the deserts of Almaris. 

 

The younger brother of Philip III, Prince John Casimir, founded a citadel amidst the sands that he named the Grand Duchy of Balian. It is said he followed the star of Saint Lothar to choose the location of his city, placing his sword within a rock that sat atop the dunes. Eventually, he elevated his growing demesne to a kingdom, crowning himself John I of Balian. He was beloved by his people, and died at the turn of the century, in 1900.

 

His eldest son, Prince Alexandros Casimir, ascended the throne atop the Mont Monterosa as Alexander I. His reign oversaw further peacetime, increased diplomacy, and a dedication to cultural nourishment. He aided in the formation of the ‘Atrus Covenant’, a confederation of nations united against the undead dragon Cloudbreaker. Battling in the Siege of Atrus, his own capital city, the King felled the ancient beast alongside those fellow denizens of Almaris. He is also noted for the popularity of his children, who inherited his penchants for leadership and charisma.

 

Passing in 1921, his son Hadrian Casimir was crowned 'Adrian I' and played host to the largest coronation ceremony in the realm's history. It was Adrian who guided his people to safety following the fall of Almaris, leading the Balianese to the newly-discovered realm of Aevos. There, he ordered the construction and establishment of the kingdom's new capital, Portoregne.

Notable Figures:


Peter Baldwin d’Arkent, Duke of Sunholdt, Baron of Selm
The second Duke of Sunholdt, Peter Baldwin was the youngest of his siblings. But through his hardwork and dedication, he managed to secure himself as the only viable candidate as the heir to the Duchy of Sunholdt. He would serve the entirety of his life within the Imperial State Army. Eventually serving as General of the Armies of Holy Orenian Empire until finally passing away peacefully surrounded by his friends and family. 

 

Sir Caspian-Lucian d’Arkent KL
Caspian: Enlisted in the ISA at the age of 16- serving in training until he reached the age of 18. He joined the ISA as an Ensign, completing his training in the year 1800- in his first few years the Sedan Rebellion broke out, in which he led a force of a hundred men in a scouting mission to the Sedanian Keep within the Arentanian Mountain Range. A skirmish erupted- and the numerically inferior Imperial forces, led by the Lord Caspian, were able to defeat four of the five-hundred Sedanians- injuring or outright killing the majority of them. Knighted for this action- he continued to serve the ISA faithfully throughout the rest of this Rebellion and the following 4th Nordling War- serving as both a Lieutenant and then, Captain of the First Brigade. He retired in the year 1838- and passed away in 1842 shortly after the loss of his daughter.

 

Mary Philippa d’Arkent, Baroness-Consort of Carrington
One of the most prolific women of the 1700s, the eldest daughter of the first Duke of Sunholdt, Mary Philippa was responsible for setting the standards of Fashion within the Holy Orenian Empire, from across the lands of the Imperials, many came to her shop to commission clothing from her. Earning her wealth that rivaled that of the Carringtons. Eventually she would marry Green Carrington, the richest man in the Empire from their union the line of Carrington-d’Arkent would form.


Notable Relic(s):
Ignis Invictus
A shortsword, made of the Boomsteel, forged for the 2nd Duke of Sunholdt, Peter Baldwin d’Arkent at the height of the war against the Inferi. Since being forged for the Duke by a now forgotten blacksmith it has been passed down from Duke to heir until it remained in the hands of Peter Augustus who relinquished the blade to his son, Peter Benedict d’Arkent, Count of Salia.

 

Starshine
A Starsteel Blade, gifted to Peter Benedict d’Arkent on the day of his marriage to the Princess Augustina of Balian. It was given to him by an ancient woman known as Alpha Carrington, an old friend of the d’Arkent family.
 
House History:
Founded in 1726, the House of Arkent descends from Joseph I of Marna, through his legitimized bastard son John d’Arkent. During the reign of the Imperial Novellen dynasty, the House of Arkent served diligently, having many members of the family serve in many prominent positions, Archchancellor and General of the Army being two examples. Eventually earning the title of Duke within the Imperial peerage, one of two Imperial noble families to hold such a rank. 

 

Following the founders death, the titles of his father’s death would pass onto his youngest son Peter Baldwin d’Arkent, becoming the 2nd Duke of Sunholdt, he would serve the Empire diligently for many years first as a foot soldier, a captain and finally General of the Army. Where he would serve for over fifty years of his life, being recognized as one of the finest Generals of the Imperial State Army.

 

But after more successive dukes serving in office such as Peter Alexander d’Arkent in the foreign ministry, the house went silent with Peter Augustus soon after inheriting the title, he remained an indolent Duke, preferring to spend his days in his estates rather than participate within the Central government.

 

By the year 1849, the house would join the Imperial faction during the War of Two Brothers. Holding firmly to their fealty to the Imperial Crown, the House of Arkent would pledge their support to Peter IV, but not long after the battle for Providence would begin, ending in an Imperial loss.  

 

Rather than staying in the newly formed Kingdom of Oren, the House of Arkent would instead choose to exile themselves from their homeland, following the Imperial Prince John Casimir to the southern continent. Now settling themselves in Balian, the house finds itself led by Peter Benedict d’Arkent. Newly appointed as the Constable of Balian and the Captain of the Company of Balian. 

 

Now married to the Princess Augustina, the now Count of Salia establishes his ancient Household properly within the peerage roll of the fledgling Kingdom of Balian. The House never breaks its faith in the dynasty they have served since their conception. Hoping for centuries of peace, but always preparing for war.

House History:

 

The history of the ancient House of Ruthern is mired in blood and bones. Its beginnings can be traced back to the early days of the Crowsmarch where its origins began from the bastard son of the Princely House of Carrion, Ruther Barrow. Ruther Barrow ascended through the social ladder through a bloody process, cementing his name and his bloodline in history. The House of Ruthern tends to follow a more militaristic and political tradition. Many of its members have served in Canonist militaries, working their way up to gain senior positions whilst others made their name in politics. Some members of the House of Ruthern became scholars as well. However, the most notable aspect of the Rutherns are their talent and desire for the sea. Sailing is in a Ruthern's blood for they were Raevir Corsairs at one point. The Rutherns have also contributed to the navies of Haense, Oren and Balian. Although known for their brutality, such brutal instincts have been tame as of recent; for a Ruthern’s desire to shatter bones are now directed towards their vilest of enemies rather than to their own kin and fellow citizens. 

 

However, the unity of the family was tested during Haense’s independence from the Holy Orenian Empire. Erik var Ruthern, the son of Count Sigmar ‘The Lost’, and the head of the senior line of the House of Ruthern, kept his allegiance to Oren. This schism within the family led to Erik var Ruthern settling the senior line in Oren whereas the junior line remained in the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. 

 

After the Brothers' War, the House of Ruthern followed John Casimir of Novellen to the south of Almaris where they formed the Kingdom of Balian and Saint Lothar as their patron saint. The House of Ruthern became one of the founding families of Balian, staying forever loyal to the royal family and to the king of Balian since its founding.


After the death of the former Baron of Marsana, Viktor Erik, his son and heir, Gaius Geoffery ascended to the head of the family and as Baron of Marsana. Gaius Geoffery went on to serve in the Royal Duana as the Minister of Interior and in the Company of Balian, the standing military of the Kingdom of Balian, as a Corporal. The House of Ruthern continues to serve and protect the Kingdom of Balian and its royal family.

[History within Balian]  

After that of the Brothers War, the Grand Duchy of Balian was founded. The Vuillers found themselves making up a majority of the leadership, Sir Rev Vuiller as the Seneschal, Dame Diana Vuiller as the Censor, Johanne Vuiller as the treasurer and Ledicort Vuiller as the Magister. Thus, the first Royal Vuiller Chamber was had.

All families began as Baronies, but the Vuillers had quickly risen to County, in an unprecedented dual promotion by John I, directly from Barony to County with the work they'd put into the new lands.

Since then, Sir Rev Vuiller had heralded the construction of the city, having passed on upon its conclusion and a statue risen in his honor, his wife, Dame Diana Vuiller having followed shortly afterwards.

Ledicort, the son of Rev, went on to become the Seneschal, now called Amiratus, making what is now the second Royal Vuiller Chamber.

Ledicort had seen us through the Cloudbreaker siege, bringing together nearly the entirety of Almaris with his work.

Since then, varying members of the family have taken up varying chamber chairs, roles within the government, military and palace and have sacrificed their lives for that of Balian.

Notable Figures:

 

Sir Ephrem Kervallen, First Baron of Tuvia:

Born as the second kid of Evander Kervallen and first within his marriage with Tatiana Kervallen, he was the rightful heir to the Kervallen name since he was born. Raised in Balian and within the Canonist faith, Ephrem aspires to be a soldier under the orders of GOD himself. Named a knight of the Chivalric Order of Saint Lothar when he was only 19 years old by King Alexander I of Balian after his work, not only in the Company of Balian but also for his brave actions the day the undead dragon Cloudbreaker attacked Atrus; Ephrem was sent with the Adventure Group to destroy the phylactery and defeat the necromancer. Soon after the end of the battle, the young Kervallen was named Knight and first Baron of Tuvia after the work of the whole Kervallen family in Balian during the years of its existence.

Lord Evander Kervallen, Former Patriarch of the Kervallen Family:

The first Balian Patriarch of the Kervallen Household. Evander often enjoyed traveling and had been born in Oren before their downfall. A known playboy for many years, those notions stopped when his first daughter, Emma was born and the woman he proposed to denied him. Fleeced for minas and resources, eventually, Emma was sent to live with him when he had nothing more to offer and this was when the Balian branch was founded.

No longer traveling, he raised her as a single father until he met who came to be his wife and had three children, Ephrem, Elijah and Enisa.

He spent many years in the Balian military, neither rising or lowering in ranks and had fought in a few battles garnering house relics for a later time.

His wife later passed, leaving him widowed and raising his four children. Shortly after her passing, he abdicated and gave his oldest son, Ephrem the role as Patriarch, where the family became a Barony not long after.


Lord Edvard Kervallen, Baron of Lalwën in Lurin:
 

Edvard was born in Corazon on an unknown date and became a beggar at a short age due to the loss of his parents. Later on, when he was old enough, he joined the Sentinels of Ando-Alur, where he worked for many years, becoming their Captain and even Lord Sentinel for a short period of time. 

From his first and only marriage, the first head of the Kervallen Household in Balian was born; Evander Kervallen. He is known for being the Court Mage and Alchemist for Balian, advising the Crown in those affairs when needed.


 

Notable Relic(s):

 

  • Igneam Puritatem: A blackened shortsword made of Medium Density Boomsteel, able to be lit on fire with some friction. It is the main sword of Sir Ephrem Kervallen, Baron of Tuvia.

  • Aeris Pulchritudinis: A curved sword, single-edged and holy in looks. It’s surface reflects the light of the sun and the moon. It is the main sword of Lord Elijah Kervallen.

  • Tuvian Hope: A mighty spear crafted from the scarce Thanhic Steel, its blade rests upon a Steel Elm Tree decoration, the mark of the House.

 

House History:

Being born in Hyspia, Edvard was the first Kervallen to ever exist, making up a new name for himself, he never dreamed to, one day have such a large family holding two noble titles in two different lands. Edvard story is a story of ups and downs, having lived in many places like Vortice, Ebonwood and Lurin it was his firstborn Evander Kervallen who settled a branch of the family in the Kingdom of Balian.

It was thanks to the efforts of the Kervallen family as a whole that the Barony of Tuvia was acquired; being Edvard the Court Mage and Alchemist for the totality of the Kingdom existence until he was replaced by a friend of the Consort, Evander served as a city council at its beginnings and in the army. Ephrem, later named first Baron of Tuvia served in the Company since he was 16 years old, retiring later on as he became the Procurator of the Crown. Along with it, the family also holds the title of Knight of the Order of Saint Lothar for Ephrem's fight against the necromancers during the siege of Cloudbreaker.

House History:

 

The first head of the House of Galbraith was Edward Galbraith, a man marred with controversy. As a result of growing discontent of Galbert publicly and in the Cabinet after two impeachment inquiries, in the year 1781, Edward's wife wrote a letter to him on behalf of herself and the rest of the family, disassociating them from him, through excommunicating him from the family. Resulting in the murder of Edward

 

After this period of instability the headship of the family fell to Sir George Galbraith, of whom worked diligently and furthered the House in terms of his career however it is argued by many that due to his lack of notice of the familial side he was unable to bear a suitable heir. As a result of this Sir Robert Galbraith became head of the family, a different man from the previous two, he was not focused upon the bureaucracy of the Imperial Government and instead poured his focus into the Imperial State Army. Through this outlet he reconnected with the families’ origins and pressed on to ensure peerage for both himself and his house resulting in the title of the Baron of Rivia and later Viscount. 

 

Originally a small fortification the Viscounty later grew to an immense size yielding the Galbraiths a levy of 2500 men in war during the time of the Brother’s War. This growth was largely a combination of the work of both Viscount Philip Galbraith and Duke Charles Antonius Galbraith. The latter, a claimant of the Duchy of Cathalon during the Harvest Revolution. 

 

The power of the Viscounty began to wane during the Acre Rebellion after the death of Duke Charles Antonius who was felled during a confrontation with the Baron of Acre in the fortress of Kaer Coch. Soon after Lucius of Rivia assumed leadership within the Viscounty. Before long however Lucius, fled to the South to Balian seeing the eventual downfall of the Kingdom of Oren and sought a new life for the family taking his familial line to Balian. Eventually Lucius after swearing fealty to the Grand Duke at the time was given the title Baron of Castelorena. After a period of illness this title was passed to Lucius’ son, Carles Galbraith.

House History:

The ancient House Sarkozic descends from the more ancient Raevir House of Carrion. The history of the house is extensive, mainly being composed of ruling over the Adrian people. Naturally, with such a task the House has experienced many wars, conflicts, and crises. It was in 1753 though that this changed. The then Duke of Adria, Joseph Clement de Sarkozy married the Heiress to the Holy Orenian Empire. This union produced the House of Novellen which would rule over a large portion of Humanity and continue to do so to this day. It was also with that union that the Sarkozic’s experienced a major loss of identity. With the family's sudden alignment with the Imperialists it began to conform to the Petrine culture, dressing in powdered wigs, tailcoats, and petticoats. This time saw little growth for the family, no longer did it rule over the Adrians or be the causation of conflict, throughout most of this period it was cast away into small manors in the city. It remained this way until the fall of the Holy Orenian Empire in 1868.

 

The House would be divided up once through the declaration of the Brothers War. The Royalist aligned Sarkozic’s, led by Franz Arthur Sarkozic, and the Imperial aligned Sarkozy’s, led by Katerina Angelika de Sarkozy, would fight to support Prince Fredrick Charles’ and Prince Peter Augustus’ claim on the Orenian Throne respectively. Sources say the seven year old Baron, Franz Arthur, was convinced to swear fealty to the Royalists with the help of a chocolate chip cookie. The divided House ceased its quarreling and began to grow closer once again with the Royalist victory. The fall of the Kingdom of Orenia only a decade later gave rise to the Kingdom of Aaun, and with that a threat to divide the House once more materialized. Heinrik Otto Sarkozic, a distant, traditionalist cousin of the Petrine Baron, would force a summons in the Ruins of San Luciano with the help of the Pontiff, Pontian IV. Due to the families conflicting interests, the goal was to separate the House into a Northern branch, ruled by Heinrik, and a Southern branch, ruled by Franz. Although highly contested, the tied vote led to a coin toss which Heinrik won. This led to the restoration of the Duchy of Adria in the Kingdom of Aaun which revived traditional Sarkozic customs, and the creation of the Barony of Sapron in the Kingdom of Balian, which maintained its Petrine customs with some minor Raevir influence. Both branches maintain good relations to this day.

Notable Figures:

Sir Lyonel de la Foret: A knight from the heartlands of Aeldin in the 15th century, Sir Lyonel was tasked by the Provincial Government of Endaen with quelling a rather violent Harrenite tribe in their province, which he did handily despite inferior numbers due to his tactical and martial prowess. For this feat, and his loyal and honorable service, he was raised to be Earl of Lyonesse, ruling over the land he had pacified, with the Harrenites either bending the knee or fading into obscurity. Due to the tales of his strength being thrice that of a lion, he took three lions as his sigil and Lyons as his surname.

 

Sir Arthur Hughes de Lyons: Arthur was born in Almaris long after the family had fallen from power, with little more than grand tales of the past to drive him. He worked hard through the ranks of the Sons of Petra and earned his knighthood through his merit by slaying beasts in the forests near Petra, Acre, and old Dobrov. He met and married Juliana Vernhart, a scholarly, religious, and largely quiet woman, who would bear him four children and serve as a supportive influence in Arthur’s life. Arthur served a term as Mayor of Valfleur before being named Knight Paramount of the Petrine Laurel succeeding Sir Brandt. He notably participated in many duels to defend his own honor and that of his family, and pursued scholarly efforts, collecting and writing on the history and culture of his house. He was killed by Azdrazi in Castle Moore while defending Archduke Constanz during the Petran Civil War.

Sir Robert Joseph de Lyons: Robert was born to Juliana and Arthur during the latter days of Petra, and was raised there for his first 8 years, until the death of his father, the loss of the Petran Civil War, and the flight of the family and many others to Balian and Corbenic. He then warded under his family in the Vuiller, learning about the law, history, and faith. He was appointed as Magister at age 16 by Ledicort Vuiller, a position he serves in faithfully to this day. Over their childhood and teenage years, Robyn and Princess Elena of Balian grew close, and eventually gained permission to court and wed. On the night of the wedding, King Adrian I of Balian raised Robert to Baron of Enderoca for his service to the Kingdom, reestablishing the family as a noble house for the first time in around three centuries. He then continued to serve as Magister, and was later knighted for his work for the Kingdom, and shortly after Elena's passing and Percival's rising to Amiratus, the House was raised to Viscounty under his care.

House History:

The House de Lyons was founded in Aeldin in the 15th century by Sir Lyonel de la Foret, who was tasked with pacifying rebelling tribes of Harrenites in the Province of Endaen. He did so handily, despite being outnumbered two to one, through cunning tactics, and cut down the leader of the reivers himself in the thick of the fighting. For his actions, he was raised to be the Earl of Lyonesse, ruling over the lands and people he pacified. Due to stories of his strength being as great as three lions catching his ear, he took that as his sigil and the name of his house.

 

The descendants of Lyonel ruled in Endaen for at least around a century, with an account of Lyonel’s conquests from Louis Edmund de Lyons written in 1568 being extant within family records; however, at some point they lost their titles, likely due to some sort of corruption in bureaucracy, and the family eventually traveled to new lands, joining the rest of the descendants at large. Eventually in Almaris, Arthur Hughes de Lyons was born, and raised on the legends of his family’s prestigious past, he finally put in the work necessary to reclaim some of their lost honor and glory.

 

Arthur came to Petra and worked his way through the ranks of the Sons of Petra, eventually being knighted as part of the Order of the Petrine Laurel due to his valiant efforts against dark beasts that terrorized the city from the woods surrounding it. He started a family, was elected Mayor with the help and encouragement of his wife, Juliana Vernhart, and eventually was made Knight Paramount of the Petrine Laurel after Sir Brandt stepped down. However, Sir Arthur’s life was cut tragically short when he was killed by Azdrazi fighting for Renilde in the Petran Civil War, when they attacked Castle Moore during what was supposed to be Renilde’s trial for her infidelity. He died defending Archduke Constanz, and when the Civil War was lost, his children and wife fled to Balian with many of the other refugees from Constanz’s side.

 

Robert then took up the mantle of head of house, helping his mother raise his younger siblings before she fell into reclusiveness, and serving as a ward to House Vuiller, who were distant relatives. During his wardship tasks he showed an aptitude for law and, after an interview, was raised to the position of Royal Magister of Balian by Amiratus Ledicort Vuiller. He served in this position faithfully for many years, along with aiding Balian in their expeditions to aid Elvenesse and the Vale against the Mori’Quessir. Over the course of their childhood and teenage years, Robyn grew close with Princess Elena, and eventually they were granted permission to court, and were engaged and married in the early years of the Descendants upon Aevos. On this night, King Adrian I of Balian decided to raise his new brother-in-law to be the Baron of Enderoca (a name referencing Endaen of old) for his years of service to the Kingdom.

 

Robert and Elena continued to serve the Kingdom, Robert as Magister and a Knight, Elena as Legate, then as Amiratus until the time of her death in 97 BA. They had three children together, Tristan, Caelia, and Percival, with Percival becoming the Gran Creu and then succeeding his mother as Amiratus after her passing, and Tristan attaining Knighthood and being the set heir for the house. Shortly after Elena's passing, the House was promoted from Barony to Viscounty for the service of its members.
