House Lentheos A Brief Overview Affiliation: Purist House Lentheos is an ancient house of Aeltarosi origin, having been around since the founding of the original Aeltarys, though from that first day, they have not lived in the capital of the region. They have long resided on the nearby island of Saltfyre, a giant volcano surrounded by rocky terrain. House Lentheos carved out an existence and a city within the mountain known as the Heart Forge. It was here in the Heart Forge that members of the Lentheosi Order of the Hammer first discovered Aeltarosi Steel- a metal exquisitely beautiful, incredibly strong, deadly against darkspawn, and with a dark reputation among other Aeltarosi metallurgists surrounding its making. They had spent thousands of years making the steel and governing the island, leaving a long rich history of legendary weapons and artifacts forged by their hands, all lost in the cataclysm, though the knowledge of their creation surviving on in Daemon and Aenyx Lentheos. [Disclaimer]: Aeltarosi steel is not an ST metal, it is a mix of two existing metals that do not require ST signage, and just mixes the effects The Cataclysm: During the Cataclysm, Saltfyre erupted at full force, engulfing the Heart Forge in fire and ash, destroying millennia of history and masterfully made Aeltarosi Steel, the only surviving members of the family happened to be on a ship at the time of the eruption, on their way back from a trading voyage as they watched their home burn. After this, the family named Daemon its new head, as he was the most senior living member of the Order of the Hammer, before going to merge with Prince Maegor and his ships to make their way away from the now burning Aeltarys. The Lentheosi Salamanders: The House Animal of Lentheos is the Volcanic Salamander, a reptile unique to the lands around the Heart Forge and has a long history with the family. Originally the founder of the house, Corlys Lentheos, was originally led to the Heart forge by following one of these lizards, leading to him adopting it as the family mascot. The Lentheosi Order of the Scales One of the Three orders a Lentheos may join when they come of age, the Order of the Scales acts as the Order of Merchants for House Lentheos. Members of this order dedicate their life to becoming a master of a clerical art such as clerkship, scribing, arithmetic, or take up the trade of a merchant. The head of this order is known as the Master of Scales, and sits on the Lentheos family council, regardless of their other duties. The Lentheosi Order of the Sword The second of the three orders a Lentheos may join when they come of age, the Order of the Sword acts as the Order of Warriors for House Lentheos. Members of this order have two primary duties, defending their family, and defending the Prince of Aeltarys. Along with carrying out the Prince’s Orders. Members of this order dedicate their life to mastering the blade or their weapon of choice along with the arts of strategy and tactics. The head of this order is known as the Master of the sword, and sits on the Lentheos family council, regardless of their other duties. The Lentheosi Order of the Hammer The third and final of the three orders a Lentheos may join when they come of age, but by far the hardest to join. The Order of the Hammer acts as the order of smiths, metallurgists, and, allegedly, mages of House Lentheos. This order has a dark reputation with rumors surrounding blood sacrifices, dark magic, and possibly even worse deeds, but the quality of the steel they produce is legendary. Their work is among the best in the entire world, but the secret to their success is such a closely guarded secret, they would kill to protect it. The master of this order is known as The Master of the Hammer, and sits as the leader of the Lentheos family council. The Current Family: Daemon Lentheos-Master of the Hammer and Head of House Lantheos-(Based1Salmon) Aenyx Lantheos- Heir of House Lantheos-(ratlordmagic_) Vigon Lantheos-(me_llamo1) Rhaegor Lantheos-(Wonderland_Boy) Vissera Lentheos -(Itz_Cookie123)

The Young Patriarch of House Lentheos stands on the deck of his ship, leaning against the pole hammer as he watched the new lands come into sight before him, the screams of the fallen slowly dampening in his mind as he steps onto the new land of his own, planting his families banner and immediately beginning to organize a smithy be set up so he can get back to his craft, the sounds of a hammer clashing against anvil being heard before dark.

Theodeta Darkwood approves of the announcement preparing to accept any refugees at Renduzzo it need be

Countess Theodeta Darkwood sat upon the antler throne, watching the various soldiers and refugees eat within the feasting hall, but in her mind, she was miles away, thinking to the burned city that contained the bodies of her loved ones and friends and many many others. 'Balian has survived but at what cost' she thought to herself before noticing the families in the great hall, the children, before then decided to rise and seclude herself within the Countess's Tower, to think upon what was to come next.

The First Supreme Assembly of Lazzari 21th of Horen’s Calling, 40 B.A. A Decree from the Assembly Following the appointment as the first Syndic of the City assembly, Theodeta Darkwood, would take her place in the meeting hall of the old senate hall, while the construction of a new city hall was being planned. She would read through those whom have also been appointed to work with her as Concios of the Supreme Assembly of Lazzari. She would take a stand looking over those present spotting the following people whom would hold the role of Concio: Alf Vuiller Gaius var Ruthern Kasimir Sarkozic Cicero Lulianus Cato Thomas Napier Following this she would begin a speech, a sense of pride and national spirit in her language and expression, gazing to the Concios. "Today we begin a new era of Balianese politics, an era in which we will be leading the common folk of the capital and ensuring their every will is kept in best interest. We will do this together, while we may not agree on all policies and ideas, it is our duty to work together to aid those who need it the most as Concios. We must speak to all that grace our Atrus with open ears so that we do not fall deaf to what is needed. I hope you will all join me in this goal” Signed, Lady Syndic Theodeta of House Darkwood, Baroness of Darkwood

Theodeta Darkwood just raises an eyebrow at the news, not appearing all that impressed "This reminds me of something I heard from my Imperial history tutor.... I think its called Imperialism?" She says dryly to her bear before feeding the bear a mackeral and moving on to more interesting news Apollyon Marshall blinks at the news "this... are they'eh focken stupid? like what theh fock..... I need a drink" goes to laugh about this with the Captain and the Count

Baroness Theodeta of Darkwood feels outraged that Augustina would betray her by starting a wineyard but just sighs and RSVPs preparing to go with an open mind and neutral taste buds

The Honorable, Baroness Theodeta Tulipa of Darkwood wounded by the lack of invitation to the wedding of her cousin and her best friend sequesters herself in her Office at Renduzzo, though still happy for the couple, just perhaps not at them. Then she realizes shes a bridesmaid and citizens of Balian are invited so she just sighs and sends the happy couple the bottle of 20 year Renduzzan reserve wine she had been about to crack open for herself along with a bouquet of tulips in every color imagineable.

Musin Dragon Riders when?

6th of Suns Smile, 107 of the Second Age I write this missive both to the people of the great nation of Balian and to my fellow council members. I write to inform you all of my resignation from the council, not through any malice or anger, but from the simple fact that I am not the most qualified candidate for this position on the council, and there is no point in trying to be something I am not, a government man, when this great Kingdom would be better served by my investing of time into the military and my family. This is not out of any dissatisfaction, but out of the simple desire to fulfill my duties as the king’s servant to the best of my abilities. With that, I wish my fellow councilors the best, and I will be willing to assist in any matters, government, personal, or otherwise. Ave Balian, Ave Alexandros. The Kingslayer, Sir Apollyon Jaime Marshall of Renduzzo Knight of the Gate, First knight of Saint Lothar, Ensign in the Brotherhood of Balian, and Head of House Marshall

The 4th Office of the Censory Official Documentation from the Lord Censor of Balian The Office of the Censory under Sir Apollyon Marshall has been running for years, but it has been inefficient, so His Excellency and his Chairmen have seen fit to reform and revitalize the offices of the Censory, an act that has been long overdue. Changed Offices: In previous iterations the Censory has had an office dedicated to chronicling the affairs of the nobility and their royal letters, which has now been changed into the Office of the Scribe, which will chronicle and assist in the drafting of all Royal, Chambers, or Noble decrees that are endorsed by the King, his Peers, or his Councilors. New offices: With this new shift in structure comes a whole host of new offices, being the Offices of the Land Surveyor, Chief Scribe and Cultural Development. These offices are designed to fulfill the duties of the department with peak efficiency and help improve the living circumstances in Balian Promotions: With the new offices and positions, along with rewards for service has come a need to promote a selection of preexisting employees within the Censory so henceforth the following changes in position will occur: Franz Sarkozik shall from this day forth be appointed to the position of Event Officer Augustina Therosia shall from this day forth be appointed to the position of Chief Event Officer Gaius Rosius-Ruthern shall from this day forth be appointed to the position of Event Officer Samuel Vuiller shall from this day forth be appointed to the position of Event Planner Guillermo Ruttledge shall from this day forth be appointed to the position of Primo (chief) Architect Gabriel Vuiller shall be granted the title of Squire to the Lord Censor The Goals of the Censory Moving Forward: Moving forward, the Censory will act as both a supervising department over the new elected positions and as the department that keeps Balian Unique and filled with people. Its staff shall be trained to represent Balian and do their best to improve the nation as a whole while maintaining its history, cultures, and traditions. The Censory and its New Hiring Policies: With all of the new positions that need to be filled within the offices of the Lord Censor and his staff, there has been a form pinned in both the government offices in Atrus, and on the city noticeboards to Apply for a position in the Censory, after which an interview will be conducted and if the candidate meets all requirements, they will be hired.

They shall work with all departments of the government to maintain active ledgers, documentation, and public correspondence be it public knowledge or secret government matters. The Scribes will also be tasked with assisting with and even drafting their own government documents such as legislation, recruitment missives, and event announcements.
