House Guivret Full History
House Guivret and Gracchi Merge
House Valois is one of the greater houses of the Holy Oren Empire. As you may or may not know, House Valois s a combination of the Houses Gracchi and Guivret. A portion of this house dates back to Aegis, where the first settlement of House Gracchi was created. House Gracchi was in control of a small village in southwestern Oren in Aegis. House Guivret originated in early Asulon, in the capital city of Renatus. Renatus is currently a part of the Holy Oren Empire, the united human kingdom. The Houses Gracchi and Guivret were merged when Maximillion Gracchi married Chrestienne Guivret. House Valois is not one of the more senior houses, but it is certainly one of the most powerful houses in all of the lands.
