Arthur is a merchant descendant of the Allard line, and the first child of Adrien Allard. His loyalty to his family, and its traditionally militant nature, have limited his mercantile success in the past, though due to recent success and a desire for ambition, Arthur has begun to expand his sphere of influence. With the support of his grandfather he has begun his merchant ventures. While growing up Arthur to become a merchant, but because of his families militant background he was pressed into service. This caused a decent amount of strife between Arthur and his father Adrien, causing him to be more loyal towards his grandfather Byrant.

History of house Allard
Foundation of Rouena | 936 anno domini
Rouena was founded in 936 in the Principality of Relouria, founded by the progenitor of House Allard. Having served House Halcourt loyally for many years, House Allard was permitted a barony under them an honor they would never forget. It was a place for scholars and all people of sound mind and held universities, observatories and other places of learning.
The Cadet’s War | 1397 anno domini
Following the tanist election the chancellor of Relouria was shot and killed. Serving their liege lords loyally, House Allard attempted to aide the Halcourts in stealing the throne of Relouria, leading to years of war. Abandoning their peaceful roots the Allards took up arms and rode to war.
Fall of the Principality | 1436 anno domini
Following years of internal turmoils, Relouria was in ruins and were easy pickings for foreign aggressors. While House Allard liege lords and most of their servants fled the country, House Allard stubbornly stayed behind to defend their homeland. Rouena was lost, then Relouria and soon after Athera.
