The Bloodline of Roa

[Me_llamo... 495]

 

 

House Of Roa

 

 

“Nullum Magnum Opus Sine Magna Ambitione Venit”

 

 

History of the Family

 

The family began as a simple tribe of Minitz, being that of Reinmaren origin, carving a name into  society for a long time, until the family founder “Gregorius Roa” decided to leave that place due to disagreements between him and some of the inhabitants of Minitz

The sole purpose of the House of Roa is to protect the city where they lived in, whatever the means, as well as to protect and expand the knowledge they had, and share it to others in any way possible.

 

After the family left Minitz, they went to Lady Cosima under the recommendation of Valentina Roa, previous matriarch of the family, and settled there for a time until the family was offered to rule over the Viscounty of Pavia 

The Roa family stayed for a long time within the walls of Pavia until “The Ludwig Affair” occurred, a trial that made “Gregorius Roa” leave the Viscounty of Pavia behind to his heir,

 

After such an incident, Prince “Jarad Munnel” decided to offer them housing within the Principality of Helious; “Gregorius Roa” decided to accept such a generous offer after careful consideration, and he himself brought the family along with, residing in the accommodations of Helious.

After the fall of the Kingdom Amathea, and subsequently, the Principality of Helious, the family went to reside in the Kingdom of Balian, where they stayed until it ultimately was felled to the Mori menace.

 

Introduction

 

Uphold honor and humbleness, be the ray of light even in the darkest of times, be the sword that strikes the enemy and the shield that protects the innocents.

 

A sprout of Roa must reckon where the family came from, and uphold to that humble origin, respecting others as they were respected from the start.

 

Culture and Traditions

 

The Dance of the Moon and Sun
A ball that takes two Saint’s days to complete, consisting of the first day of the “Dance of the Sun days” being a festive and happy dancing day, in which all the guests can dance with each other in a more “active” way, wearing brighter hues and dancing along the light that is provided by the sun.

Upon the next day, the “Dance of the Moon” would be held, in which the guests will wear darker hues, comparing it to the light the moon provides us with, dancing calmly below the rays of the moon.

 

The Grand Operation

To become one of age as years go by, it is a sign of every family member to at least venture out into the world in search of a companion; not only to keep the legacy of one’s heritage alive, but to also strengthen relations with others in attempts to prosper. Most often, this tradition would be had within taverns of other cities ventured to. When one finds a mate who accepts to court, both must go to each current guardian as a show of goodwill & judgment.

 

New Oak’s Birth

A family tradition in which when a new Roa is born, an Oak tree is planted in the family’s ceremonial grounds, both the parents and the children ought to take care of the tree as the tree itself represents their own soul.

When the Roa in question comes of age, the hand of said Roa will be carved in the tree, and the initials of the parents and son/daughter will be carved inside the hand’s carving
