House Geminine:
((I apologize for all the Geminine family posts))
History:
Not much is known about the early times of the Geminine family. Our history is started at the three brothers known as Simon, Aliestor Geminine, and William Geminine. Simon had decided to wed Muriel Geminine, and in order to carry his bloodline, he had children, three brothers to be exact. Simon was not a very good man, many would say he was a bit worthless... but nonetheless he continued the tree.
The Geminine family rose as a very small House in Ildon, with much of the family arriving after hearing they had a bit of a standing there, doing odd bannerman jobs and growing as a house under liege of house Elendil,. As a child, Alianor Geminine ran away from his home in Salvus, with his father dying in battle and his mother missing (presumed dead). Alianor found himself in Ildon, where Merek was taking the position of Baron.
After many years, Merek decided to step down from his position of baron and allowed Aliestor to take his place. After much time, House Geminine wanted to be freed from their vassalage under house Elendil and settle in a land of their own. After much consideration, Artorus allowed them to do so, and they settled in the land of Simonia, which is in the southernmost part of Westfall. Aliestor had always been rather friendly with a lot of women, and many of his children are thought to be among us.
After five years of running the newly settled land of Simonia, Aliestor passed suddenly, and with nobody stepping into position of charge, Ser Alianor Geminine took it upon himself to take charge of Simonia and start the noble lineage from himself. He planned to one day give power to his only son, Taron Geminine.
Upon moving to the the Isle of Elysium, Alianor took on the position of the Grand Justice of Oren, and the known part of the family rested in a manor in Oren.
Taron had a child with Kiara Rose, who left him and the child, making it an illegitimate baby. Most of the remaining family split apart. The family almost died off, forgotten about for years.
After receiving a letter from Angelika about five years after the disappearance of Taron and Alianor, MeganGeminine decided to attempt to rebuild the family. She wed Samuel Carter, and many Geminines from the far reaches of Anthos took up the calling of their long-lost relative and returned to their family. The now-reformed HouseGeminine received a barony in the county of Greymarsh from their liege House Denims-Therving and renamed it to Gemglade.
After Megan's death due to illness, her husband Ser Samuel Geminine took over as head of the Geminine family. After acquiring the whole of Greymarsh County and building a keep, he sends out yet another group of Geminine bannermen, to begin the search for the rest of the family.
After a while, most of the Geminines dissappeared or died off. After much searching from Henry Geminine, who took over for Samuel, only a few were found, including Seymour, and his son, Hadrian. At this period in time, they were exiled. After Henry died, Seymour, at Hadrian's behest, went to Archduke Winter, and pledged themselves as Winter's vassals, to rule the Barony of HighRock for the Winters.
In a few years, Seymour would dissapear, leaving Hadrian as patriarch and baron. Around this time, many other Geminines reappeared, including Eric Geminine, son of L.A. Geminine, and Michael Geminine, grandson of Samuel Geminine.
The Geminine's bannermen are called the Order of the Silver Hammer
