HOUSE von THEONUS

 

 

Founder
Dietrich von Theonus

 

Culture and History

The House of Theonus was founded by Dietrich von Theonus in 1796, originating from Waldenian refugees from Haense. Coalescing around the young Dietrich, the family’s early history is intertwined with that of the Icathian Company. During the reigns of King Halvar and Sven II of Norland, many Theonus in the employ of the Icathian Company found themselves serving as royal guards before finding employment elsewhere across Almaris. Under the banner of the Icathian Company, they found themselves in a number of realms, including the Jade State of Yong Ping, acting as soldiers in her employ in defense from the Mettinian Company in Talon’s Port. Over time, the House has found itself in different countries, picking up different traditions from each place.

HOUSE von AUGUSTEN

 

 

Founder
Cosima Monika von Augusten

House von Augusten was established following years of dynastic contention between the Petrine and Aaunite branches of House d'Azor. Taking place in 1898, the Summit of Karosgrad formalized the split, which disallowed the Aaunic branch's claim to the Azor title. This branch was a fusion of Haeseni Waldenian and Orenian Heartlander cultures led by matriarch Cosima Monika von Augusten, born Bishop, and her consort; Peter Leopold von Augusten, the agnatic heir of House d'Azor. Since then, the House has grown in The house has always dedicated itself to the education of its members. Since then, the house has sworn to serve Petra.

HOUSE REINHOLD

Sir Wilford Reinhold, Sir Atticus Reinhold

Culture and History

House Reinhold is the most recent of the Commonwealth’s noble peers, co-founded by Wilford and Atticus Reinhold in the year 1950. Though the mix of friends, family and business partners that have been united under Raonòir vary greatly in their culture, the name of Reinhold is Agnethe in origin. Thus, the house carries forward several Agnethe traditions, as well as striving to preserve the Agnesa language.

 

House Reinhold prides itself on upholding the Petran values of chivalry and charity, encouraging its members to find ways to better their community at every turn. It remains at the heart of the Commonwealth’s capital city to further this purpose.

An Oyashiman makes a few notes in one of his many journals, green-gold ink marking the pages in neat, precise movements. 

[JudgeTrudy 610]

Theodore finds some parchment and begins creating a cheat sheet for himself. "Mustn't forget to give a proper bow next time I see some of these folks." he mutters to himself as he reflects on how many times he might have been improper in the presence of nobility. "Good thing mom didn't see me fail to acknowledge Sir Atticus Reinhold last month. She would'a picked a switch for sure." he says with a half smile as he underlines the Baron's name and titles.
