  1. https://youtu.be/-OswuZgK5Zc Laurelie Henrietta Vuiller - de Pelear A girl born in Vuillermoz to partner Ravn and Sir Duncan Vuiller both of whom were in their late 40s, early 50s. Youngest of four children, the couple’s only daughter. She grew up during the War of the Wigs or as her family knew it, the Sheeps War. Started by her father after trying to protect two of his three boys. The first time she ever left her family’s home was strapped to her father’s chest during his guard shift. Many fights were had while she was with him, but no one touched her;rumor had it he even armed her with a small dagger to hold in case anyone ever got too close. She was told at a very early age to never leave the land she was born on unless she had someone with her, or she would be taken captive by demons and other monsters. She would make her way to Providence on day trips with her family at least once or twice a month.. However, she wished for more time in the city. At the age of seven, she would meet her closest friend and confidant Johanne Vuiller, the heir at the time to the family name. Now with Johanne, she would head into the city more often, stay out of the public eye. Avoiding most people whenever possible as she didn’t want to cause any issues for her family as they climbed the ranks in noble standing. While the war her father started raged on outside her family’s walls, she was oblivious to the losses on both sides and often prayed for their salvation, her father came home at the end of every battle. So that was good enough for her. At the age of twelve, she would find a lifelong companion, found in a broken flower pot. A mix of a Bull Terrier and Corgi mix who would go on by the name of Buckles. This is when Johanne with Laurelie as partners would go on to found Jowls and Buckles Pet Emporium. J & B Pet Emporium for short. However, it never got off the ground. At the age of thirteen, she was sitting in the town square of Providence, Johanne having left to get their mutual friend so they could all have tea. Only in her absence, to have a man put a knife to Laurelie’s neck and have her walk swiftly with him down to the warehouses. There, he would interrogate her about her family so he could ransom her, thankfully her lack of presence was noticed and Laurelie was quickly found. She, however, was left with a scar that covered most of her right shoulder which she got during her getaway. The man was dealt with, being killed on the spot. She was later used as a medical lesson for Johanne on how to stitch someone up. At the age of fourteen, she found the body of her father as it just started to rain. His body was still warm, yet he was lifeless, his throat ripped open. She would later find out that the brother she was closest to, Drasus, saw her crying over their father’s body yet ran away, rather than try to comfort her. In her father’s will she was given the sword he used in battle while she was strapped to his chest as a baby. Only a few days later, the war ended, she would talk with her mother, being gifted a dagger and a hair comb. Being told that big things come from small beginnings. To never forget; to stay humble. She would take those words to heart. Not even a Saint’s day later, the Brother’s war happened. This resulted in her home being raided by “the self-proclaimed King’s” men. This attack on their home resulted in many lives lost once aid came. Laurelie was trapped on the roof, only able to watch as the men laughed while they beat her Aunt Rosemary nearly to death. Having to listen to her Great Aunt Primrose try to bargain for Johanne’s life while trying to offer up Rosemary and Laurelie for collateral. Primrose’s words fell on deaf ears. Nearing the end of the fight, Laurelie and Johanne scaled down the wall with three infants, going into the Vuiller crypts where they both ended up praying and crying out to the dead, and God to save them. Laurelie was afraid to leave the fort that those still loyal to the last Orenian Emperor called home. The only time she left willingly was to go to the last Emperor’s wedding taking place at the Vuillermoz church. Even then, she was fearful as a dragon flew overhead, yet she tried to join in on the joy that everyone else had. At the age of fifteen, just before her life changed again she met a boy, the first person her age, his name was Julius. They only talked a few times but it was still nice to have a friend around her age. Even if it was for only a year. As their days in the fort grew closer to the end, they set off for their new home, only for it to be attacked. Their Emperor was taken captive on a day meant for peace, later being beheaded after a failed rescue mission. Laurelie was forced to be on the battlefield as a combat medic. The harsh reality of war, finally hitting her. With the help of her Aunt Rosemary, she was able to drag Julius off to safety, tending to his wounds. This would be the last time Laurelie ever saw him. Balian was founded around the time she turned sixteen, 12. B.A Laurelie H.Vuiller 12. B.A.The day of her 16th name day The first full day the city was built ,she would meet two more people who would play a big role in her life: A sixteen year old by the name of Thomas and a seventeen year old by the name of Constantine. She in all truth had taken a liking to Constantine, however the way her cousin Johanne looked at him she couldn’t help but feel guilty of her own feelings, burying them deep down inside. Meanwhile, Thomas had taken a liking to Laurelie. Laying claim to her hand, everyone within the city of Atrus thought them to be courting. No matter how many times she told them they were just friends. At least until her Uncle Rev gave his blessing. Thomas had given her a necklace, however this wasn’t just any necklace. It was one that was made by Constantice causing her feelings to become even more confusing. She loved Thomas as a friend. This is something she would wear until the day she died. Only taking it off to clean it. With options running low she felt she had to settle. At least Thomas cared for her, he also asked her any chance he could to court her. Her only condition is that Thomas had to ask her uncle. If he however couldn’t get a hold of him or get his blessing by the time they turned twenty five, they would get married without his blessing. Thomas agreed. When she was around the age of twenty one they got the blessing of her Uncle, however once Thomas got the blessing, she never saw or heard from him again. The first Symposia Pragma was to be held. Johanne convinced her to go as she had not heard from Thomas in four years. Laurelie agreed, and at the age of twenty five was given the title of the first and only Desert Rose. Yet it was never mentioned in the papers published about that day. It was there she would dance most the night away with Cesar I de Pelear, Viceroy of Hyspia. Once he left, she went to sit down. Speaking with Constantine, for the first time in their friendship, they were not interrupted by the children of Balian. The children often fought for his attention, as he took on a big brother role for all, if not most of them. Even if the conversation was short lived, Laurelie was still fighting with her feelings for him. Even though there was a failed courtship agreement with him and Johanne. He and her Uncle Rev never saw eye to eye on things. He offered her to drink, but due to never indulging herself, she declined. In her old age, she would regret it but move on as there isn’t anything you can do to change the past. The day came where the men had to follow the girls into the desert, called the Queen Bee’s chase. The men had to catch their ‘Queen to be’ as a hunting game, and come back with a meal. Laurelie had gotten lost only to find herself lost with Constantine. “Why are you in the season? I thought you belonged to Thomas.” “I haven’t heard from him in nearly four years, and even then. We never courted.” Constantine gave her a pained smile. They spoke a little more only for him to share that he planned to court Diane, another one of her cousins from the other side of her family. He even hunted for their food when they returned. Only for him to present the boar to Diane as soon as they walked in the gates. A letter was waiting for her, “Dear Laurelie, I’m sorry our first meeting was cut short. I’d love to get to know you more, and take a tour of the city.” signed Cesar the Viceroy. Johanne went on to marry Drako the head of house Darkwood, she would go on to see all the women younger than her get ready for their wedding. Meanwhile, she was once more stuck in limbo with a man she loved waiting for her Uncle's approval for courtship. She, however, didn't get married until the age of thirty one. Not only that, but she ended up being disowned by her uncle from the Vuiller name, having not “waited” long enough to later get his approval for marriage. Her wedding day was a disaster. The dress she planned on wearing didn’t fit right, the Priest didn’t show up on time. None of her friends or family showed up. Everyone she felt was only there for Cesar. Laurelie H.Vuiller and Buckles. Year 1884 one year after her wedding. Things however did get slightly better for her. She was gifted with a beautiful healthy baby boy. Cesar for the first two years was absent from their lives as he went on a journey. Only for their city to fall to ruin. She moved her family back to Balian for a time. She gave birth to her twins Sofia and Alejandro the day Balian hit twenty years standing strong. Cesar would always like to argue they were born in Hyspia, however they were born in the Balian clinic. Cesar for the children’s early life would be fussing over where to go, only to go to the great land of Hanseti-Ruska, asking for aid from King Karl III. Laurelie was very hesitant as they took the false king’s side so many years ago, trying to kill her at the age of fourteen. Their youngest child Veronica, was born in the Haense clinic. Laurelie, now nearing her forties. She got them set up with a nice house in the city while Cesar was off working on their soon to be forever home. The few times she was allowed to visit, she helped design the bull fighting pit. Trying to get more in touch with her husband’s heritage, as she still slowly learned the Hypian language. At the age of four, Alejandro lost his arm playing with a crocodile. If you asked Laurelie after the age of sixty what happened to him she would tell you he died that day, not going into further detail. One day in court Laurelie and Sofia overheard a man “the Hyspian’s are our friends,” he shared with his sons. This man was Felix Weiss. From then on a friendship was born. With Audo going on to marry Veronica once they were old enough, and having five children. She found herself in Balian with Veronica. Veronica was the only one of her children to meet her Great Uncle Rev before he died later that Saint’s day. Followed by her mother having a heart attack at that news. As Laurelie neared her mid fifties, the Inferi Siege took place, rushing to the city to make sure her children were safe. In the crypts of Hanseti-Ruska, she along with a few other women helped Princess-Royal Analiesa give birth to a sickly gray baby girl. As Felix Weiss came down into the crypts, a blood soaked knight in shining armor led them to safety as she carried the Princess-Royal. King Karl and his men were successful in the fight. However, Laurelie didn’t know if Cesar was alive or not until she returned home with their children, seeing him smoking in their room. She didn’t know whether to kiss him or strangle him. Once the twins were twelve, she allowed Sofia’s closest friend Amity to become a ward after her mother vanished. She later on came to deeply regret this as from then on Amity had Francisco wrapped around her pinky, she never got to speak with him again one on one after that. They later married, having six children. Five only making it past childhood. As the children grew older, Alejandro kept causing issues for the family. The straw that broke the camel’s back for his siblings is when he cheated on his fiance, which caused Cesar to have a heart attack after having already been attacked earlier in the Saints week. Cesar and Laurelie de Pelear S.A. 101 - Year 1898 At the ages of 47 Alejandro would later go onto murder Cesar, feigning ignorance as to what happened to his father. Laurelie would later discover her husband's body in the Church of Blessed Francisco headless, flayed, drained of blood, and with two of her grandchildren standing down the aisle. All of this having occurred just a few months before Veronica was meant to marry Audo in that same building. They only found out what Alejandro did after he went on to marry his husband. From then on, Laurelie didn’t care what happened to him. As far as she knew, she only had one son, and two daughters. Francisco took over fully as Viceroy of Hyspia, with Laurelie going on to take the tile of, “Her Royal Highness, Vicereine-Mother of Hyspia” From the day of her husband’s death Laurelie started to wear dark colors to signify she was always in mourning of him. Granted, he grew colder to her as everyone got older, but she still loved him. The mourning would then extend to her eldest grandchild, Esperanza, who she was the closest to. Sofia would go on to marry King Georg I of Hanseit-Ruska, having two lovely daughters. It was only for their wedding Laurelie put on light colors, coming out of mourning silks for a day before going back to her dark mourning silks. For those who knew Laurelie she was a kind woman who loved to paint and sew. Yet she held onto a family secret she took to the grave. Laurelie lived to be 88 years old before dying in her sleep at Weiss family keep, Staalgrav. She had gone in hopes of spending time with her grandchildren as a surprise the following day. She would be found by Veronica, who came to wake her up that morning. She leaves behind, Three children, Seventeen-Nineteen grandchildren, and four great grandchildren. At the age of 78, 484 E.S. The will of Laurelie de Pelear Letters attached to the will ~~OOC THOUGHTS!~~
  2. NATURE OF AQUILAE A study Found and reported by Helane Vuiller. I, Helane, have always been interested in flowers and herbs. From a young age I discovered them, and never lost my eyes on it. My friends will receive flowers from me quite often. What made me interested in nature the most? Good question! That must be Diddifunkle. I have never seen anything such as Diddifunkle before. My aunt, Johanne Vuiller taught me a lot of them, just as family. So, back to the study. As one could see there are a lot of naturistic spots around Aquilae. Aquilae is the home of my family, House of Vuiller. You could say it is a gift from nature. Some are friendly for your body while others might tear your body apart, rip it out of each other. So, as I said. . I am very interested in flowers - and herbs. Do not ever forget the herbs. My first exploration was around the age of 8. Paired with my apple juice I went out into nature. My parents thought that it was quite dangerous and sometimes it is. Especially when you run into Diddifunkle. I remember the moment that I first ran into it, it was such a strange occasion. It felt like the whole world was - floating! It’s strange since I am clearly not able to fly, duh. I am curious if the ducks in the Diddifunkle lake feel the same. Maybe my next study will be upon the lake and what the effects of the lake are. Well, enough for now. I hope that you will learn more of the nature around Aquilae. But do not hurt nature! You will be punished by mother nature, and that is what we do NOT want. Feel free to send a bird in my direction, if you want to know more and it is not in my studies. So send it to Aquilae or to me, Helane and then I will respond, most likely. I. FLOWERS Flowers are my personal favourite, you barely can go wrong with giving people flowers. Although you must look at what occasion the right one is. I enjoyed the first volume of this study. The study will barely be over, since nature is growing. Mother nature gifted us with these presents, we must give it all of our love. Give a sweet bouquet to your wifes and husbands (lords like flowers too, although they will not agree fast on this one). Kiclium A white flower, given to the people who are loved. They are found in groups. None of them bloom by itself. All together. They could be associated like family. IF you receive them it is a special gift. Some might say if you treat it the wrong way you will be cursed, but I am unsure if that is true. I am sure that I will always treat it right! Kiclium is found just outside of Aquilae, it is not hard to find. The flower is beautiful and will attract you towards it. They bloom in bushes, easy for you to take them, but be careful! The smell is fresh, just how you would imagine nature. The fresh nature. I would say that Kiclium is one of the most interesting flowers to study. In summer they bloom wide open and on colder days - as far as they are cold - they seem to close off. Close off to the world, how nice would that be? They can not just walk away if they have a situation that they dislike, so they close themselves off. Blue Tulips The Tulip of Aquila is a title within the Vuiller family only given to those who have shown their true colours, honour, and love, to House Vuiller. The colour is suiting, almost as if it looked like a blue sea. As some might know them as having the meaning ‘depressing’, it can have a calming meaning to it too. Some other meanings would be individual and uniqueness. The flowers are often made to dye clothing. Traditionally, members of the clan are given a medallion with a blue tulip on it, and blue tulips are placed upon the graves of the worthy who have passed. In spring it is the season of the Tulips in general, the sun feeds them in just the right way. When there is too much sun they will be dryer, and grow less good as they should. So be careful with the sun! Feel free to give them enough water, the blue tulips seem to be enjoying water as far as they could before drowning. Roklie This is a red flower, standing for power. A Roklie is independent and barely grows near any of the others from their kind. As far as shown they are not toxic to a body. The smell of an orange would come off it, but is not quite the same as an orange. They seduce someone into trying to take a - bite of it. But do not do it! How can a red flower smell like an orange? Do not ask me that question, because I have no idea. An orange is a citrus fruit, family of all of the citrusses. What I would guess is that the pollen of the orange trees flew over and mixed with the Roklie seeds, that is how it smells like oranges. Pink Peony Love! When you receive one all the person says is love. The colour is bright and sparkly, just like some people's personality. And yet we did not even talk about the smell of these flowers. The smell is sweet, maybe a little bit too sweet. These flowers are often given in wedding bouquets. They symbolise good luck and prosperity. I would say that these flowers are the most innocent of all around Aquilae. They are pretty and they are just pretty. No other story towards it. In summer they are blooming open, just like some of the other flowers. When you have other colours of Peonies around, you will have a colourful garden. A garden to be proud of, because colours are never bad. Although around Aquilae only the pink ones seem to bloom. It is pretty in comparison with the Blue Tulips, which are described in this study too. Azure Bluet Houstonia Caerulea is the technical name of this one, I know this since the libraries are full of it. Not only are libraries full of them, but also fields. Azure means bright blue, although they sometimes look white. These flowers are more likely to be wildflowers. Not normal ones, pretty ones - if I may say so. Some ladies like to put Azure Bluet in their hair, like a flower crown. If a lady wears a flower crown on summer eve, they feel like dancing, they say. II. HERBS Next topic and last one - right now - are the herbs that are found in and around Aquilae. Diddifunkle This one, this is quite the strange herb. When it was first discovered different people would start getting hallucinations no one knew what to do. What is real? None could tell! Diddifunkle looks quite sweet, a normal flower some would say. But be aware, once you go Diddifunkle, you will never go back! Diddifunkle can work addicting, which would probably mean that it is not good for you. Such an innocent flower can do so much. The ducks in Diddlefunkle lake react to it too. DO NOT, and I repeat - DO NOT put Diddifunkle in something that you drink - unless you want to enjoy the experience. Some of the builders of Aquilae drank the water, and they seemed to be having quite the fun. Diddlefunkle is not known to be given to people, it is not the ideal gift. Over the past few years I have been observing Diddifunkle and it just looks like the exact same herb grows every year. Mostly in the summer they grow. This herb adores the sun and stuff itself open in it. It does barely need water, since it can grow anywhere. Although it seems to be enjoying around Aquilae and if I recall it right on one other spot in Balian, where? Tenyade If you receive a Tenyade, I would run. Tenyade is known to be a gift of people that do not. . like you as much as you would hope. The colour of Tenyade is a dark green, it almost looks like some kind of moss. Tenyade stands for disliking. Disliking whatever you prefer not to have around in your life. Tenyade is almost dried out, it can be confused sometimes with a dry bush. It smells like rotten mint, not a pleasant smell - if I would say. The heavy sun of the south plants into the herb. I believe that all herbs are friendly, except this one. I am not scared of it - but I would also not want to be their friend. Mother nature brought this herb into the world for a reason. My guess is that the reason is that you do not have to tell someone that you dislike them. You can just give them Tenyade and it would be clear, easy right? Tenyade seems innocent, but as stated above, it is not!
  3. “With the Eagles' foresight, we reign victorious.” After the recent soiree during the Symposia Pragma upon the Aquilae lake, the Comital house of Vuiller has seen fit to announce the coming hunt of a certain feathery being upon the diddyfunkle laced lake; that of ducks. Whether it was due to the food provided during the celebrations being granted, the slippery beings coming out with the influx of people or otherwise, there is a bit too many upon our waters and they need culling so as to not endanger the rest of the lake life. Arms and ammunition will be provided, though it’s encouraged to bring your own for a contest of duck shooting! The weight of the quarry will be taken upon the end, seeing who is the ultimate hunter upon the lake - a prize provided in turn. The ducks caught will be prepared into a meal for those attending and the attendees will enjoy a feast of diddyfunkle duck, among other Aquilae delicacies upon the finishing of the hunt. [Thursday, Feb 23th, 5PM EST/10PM GMT] Signed, The Right Honourable, the Countess of Aquilae, Johanne Alstromeria Vuiller, Countess-Dowager of Renduzzo, Lady Procurator of Balian.
  4. The Comital House of Vuiller "With the Eagles foresight, we reign victorious." The Vuiller Household was founded towards the beginning of Arcas by who is now known as Saint Harald Vuiller. Through the many generations that have now come through, it has come to be that of the current head of household, Countess Johanne Alstromeria Vuiller of Aquilae. The first Countess of Aquilae, Johanne Vuiller. The family colors are that of blue and silver, and the families animal customarily a Silver Eagle. Family traditions find that when those of the Vuiller Household come of age, they are to be granted an Eagle to bond and hunt with. The blue tulip is the houses acclaimed flower, with its own tradition centered around those of the household who have shown their true colors, love and honor to house Vuiller. Traditionally, a medallion of blue tulips is placed upon the graves of those who have passed and were granted the title.

The Vuillers found themselves making up a majority of the leadership, Sir Rev Vuiller as the Seneschal, Dame Diana Vuiller as the Censor, Johanne Vuiller as the treasurer and Ledicort Vuiller as the Magister. Thus, the first Royal Vuiller Chamber was had. All families began as Baronies, but the Vuillers had quickly risen to County, in an unprecedented dual promotion by John I, directly from Barony to County with the work they'd put into the new lands. Since then, Sir Rev Vuiller had heralded the construction of the city, having passed on upon its conclusion and a statue risen in his honor, his wife, Dame Diana Vuiller having followed shortly afterwards. Ledicort, the son of Rev, went on to become the Seneschal, now called Amiratus, making what is now the second Royal Vuiller Chamber. Ledicort had seen us through the Cloudbreaker siege, bringing together nearly the entirety of Almaris with his work. Since then, varying members of the family have taken up varying chamber chairs, roles within the government, military and palace and have sacrificed their lives for that of Balian. Signed, The Right Honourable, the Countess of Aquilae, Johanne Alstromeria Vuiller, Countess-Dowager of Renduzzo, Lady Procurator of Balian.
  5. “With the Eagles foresight, we reign victorious.” In the recent missive, ‘the Passing of Silver Eagles and the Gaining of New’, we detailed that of the death of the Count-Consort of Aquilae and its heir, alongside the consequent birth of a new heir. It has come to our attention that during the day of the siege against Cloudbreaker, when Lady Liliyana Vuiller had lay upon the birthing bed, the birth order had been switched. Entirely a mistake, we are assured, due to the roaming Undead and yet the Undead had been long in front of Balian itself at the time. This has come to light as the Lady Liliyana has moved forth out of her rooms after the grieving of her husband as a newly made widow and with this, we make two announcements. The first; The medic who had overseen the birth of the twins will be called in for questioning. Should they not show face within two Saints days, they will be brought in personally. And the second, Lord Edvard Baenyx Vuiller is not the firstborn of Lord Godric Ivan Vuiller, and therefore not the heir to the household. His twin and older sister, Lady Eirene Linh Vuiller is the heiress to the County of Aquilae, the Vuiller holdings and all that it entails. Let it be said, do not mess with the Eagle or you may find yourself far from your nest.

  6. “With the Eagles' foresight, we reign victorious.” With the finishing touches being put upon the keep within Aquilae, the Vuiller Household has found their walls remarkably without paintings to liven up the halls of their keep. Keeping this in mind, with mention of the idea coming from Lady Kaira Vuiller, the Vuiller Household will be hosting an arts contest for those far and wide to attend should they wish. It goes such as this, for those interested: Upon arriving, you may set up the painting you had brought for everyone to view, the artist themselves standing next to where their art is. Everyone attending gets two votes, they can vote twice on one art piece if they wish or even vote for themselves. At the end, the votes will be tallied, the winner receiving the same amount of minas pertaining to how many votes they had, in this instance, should they have twelve votes they’d garner one hundred and twenty minas. Alongside this, the peoples favorite and families favorite both will have their respective art made into map art, one for them to keep and another to decorate the Aquilae keeps halls. All may simply show up the day of, with art in hand for their chance at the prize! [Friday the 3rd, 7pm EST] Signed, The Right Honourable, the Countess of Aquilae, Johanne Alstromeria Vuiller, Countess-Dowager of Renduzzo, Lady Procurator of Balian.

  7. “With the Eagles foresight, we reign victorious.” With great sadness, the Vuiller household announces the passing of their Patriarch, Count Drako Rickard Darkwood alongside the passing of their heir, Lord Godric Ivan Vuiller in the battle against Undead Cloudbreaker this last Saint’s Day. A time of mourning is called, as is for most of the Kingdom at the many lost in the battle for our nation and home. It is with this announcement, that another comes which would often bring great joy to the Household, though we find it only bittersweet in this time of mourning. Upon the same day as the fight for our beloved nation, Lord Godric Vuillers wife and now widow, Lady Liliyana Vuiller has given birth to a set of twins, healthy with a set of lungs that could blast out one's eardrums and a head full of hair upon downy heads. For what was once meant to be the grand-heir is now the heir, we announce the birth of; Lord Edvard Baenyx Vuiller, heir to the County of Aquilae And Lady Eirene Linh Vuiller The Household asks that prayers and well-wishes are given for the newly gained children of House Vuiller. “Finally, Horen and his tribe built homes of wood and cloth in the plains, and they built temples of stone, and had many children.” Line 13, the Scroll of Gospel. With this announcement, should any family or friends wish to pay their respects to the deceased, they may make their way to the chapel within Renduzzo and join those within. Letters are sent out to the family branches outside of Balian, ensuring all are fully informed. May GOD bless us. May Saint Harald Vuiller look upon his descendants with pride and tender care. And may Count Drako Darkwood and Lord Godric Vuiller find peace within the Seven Skies. Signed, The Right Honourable, the Countess of Aquilae, Johanne Alstromeria Vuiller, Countess-Dowager of Renduzzo, Lady Procurator of Balian. Her Ladyship, Liliyana Sonia Vuiller
  8. The Vuiller Surprise It comes with great surprise for the Vuiller Household to make this announcement, as the Comital couple has reached their fifties and their children now mostly in their twenties, it was thought they were to be done with their generation and have that of grandchildren to look forward to. Thus, they announce the existence of Lord Rickard Akan Vuiller, their youngest son now at the age of five. @Temporal His existence kept hidden as it was touch and go for the young boy, due to the nature of his birth, he wasn’t initially thought to survive his adolescence but the Vuiller Household is proud to announce that he has and will be joining his family and Balian as a whole. We thank GOD for the blessings offered for the Comital boy, allowing him to live on with his family and make his mark on society.

  12. The Life of Maela Vuiller Arcas, Haense Born to Darien Frostfire and Althea Frostfire --- Maela Frostfire, the one and only daughter of Darien and Althea Frostfire. Her father, a soldier within the BSK. Her mother, a baker. She grew up within the Kingdom of Haense, during a time of strife. Maela hadn’t known of any other family a majority of her life, the grandparents on both sides having long passed. No cousins, no siblings. Haense had a way of being cruel. She’d awaken within their small abode, tucked away in a corner. Her room, hidden from any inspectors. Maela would exit, stomping off snow as she’d grasp at her mothers hand, making way for the bakery. They’d bake, steam pouring out and warming the humble shop. She’d often been told to keep to herself growing up, and so when the baking finished, the reading began. Varying books of all sorts, sinking into whole new unknown worlds. There’d been times when she’d attempt to talk to another, only to be ignored. She’d only been a commoner, afterall. She’d make friends, those friendships lasting all of a few months before they were gone, slipping away like a snowflake on the wind. It’d been one of those days, she’d may have just hardly turned ten, maybe eleven. Her mittens rubbed together, in an attempt at generating warmth as she’d idle by the tavern, having finished her work alongside her mother for the day and her father still on his shift. Maelas breath frosted out in front of her, smoky as it filtered out, crystal blue eyes taking in the scenery. A young boy, his name lost to time, soon approached, speaking with her. A smile formed, talking easily with her fellow child and soon, he’d introduce her to his friend, Oskar Wick. Maela hadn’t met the young boy again but she’d become fast friends with Oskar. She’d awaken, bake with her mother and slip off to join him in fun escapades about the city, often bringing treats she’d slipped beneath her coat for them to enjoy together later on. Wet, squelching footsteps would sound within the sewers they’d all too often explore. The squeaking of rats as they’d duck into cracks and crevices along the ground, while others watched the duo with beady eyes, always, always watching. Oskar, donned in a fine yet worn coat would always protect Maela. They were like night and day, the two. The boy with dark hair and gray eyes, personality like midnight on a rainy day. The girl with pale hair and blue eyes, personality like sunshine bouncing off a window. Opposites and yet they’d gravitate towards one another. --- Time passed. The duo were thirteen and the Inferi war was taking place. Maelas father, Darien Frostfire, ever the loyal soldier had taken to the battlefield. Only to be felled. He died on the field, hit by a misshot arrow from his own side. It was never known who’d shot the arrow. Whether it be a mistake or purposeful. His body, brought home upon a board and a funeral soon hosted. Grief, it overtook the Frostfires. Now, only a widowed mother and a lost daughter. And yet, life did not let up. Darien Frostfire had secrets, a history unknown by his grieving family and so when the knock came, of Holy Knights at the door, shock came past the grief. They were there for Maela. Althea Frostfire, distraught, sent the Holy Knights away, for they were not to take her only daughter. But things only grew worse. With war, came a time of strife, of pain and wanting. --- A scholarly missive. The duo were now sixteen. Maela visited the home of Oskar Wick once more, with a freshly baked treat, steam wafting off of the dish and offering warmth in the frigid cold. She sat upon the chair, peering up at Oskar with the adoration she often did. Their childhood friendship turned to more as she found herself growing to love him, hoping that he may marry her someday. He took his hand in hers, taking her in with a look that said all was not well. He was scheduled to be executed the next day. His missive had gotten too much attention. Oskar, of course, was quick to assure her. This night, he’d fake his death but before that, he had a question: “Will vy marry me?” The answer was obvious, perhaps always obvious to those who’d seen the two together. “Da, always da.” And so a body, near unrecognizable, was found in his home that night, a note at its side. --- Maela played her part well. She grieved her friend, and unknown to those, fiancee. Clipped, dried flowers would be laid neatly at the entrance of the sewers. A shrine, in its own way. Family, it was something odd to her. Having always thought of herself alone, besides her late father, mother and now fiancee. But now, once more, those Holy Knights came back. A grand-uncle, heading the Holy Knights in the pilgrimage to come to new lands. The Inferi war had ended, and disaster struck again. Endless natural disasters, destroying her city and home. Holy Knights at her side, guarding her as she’s safely escorted to the City of Man. How many people must she have fed? Somehow in the chaos, her basket of goodies, meant to be brought to her fiancee wasn’t last. It went to the people, those starving as they awaited news of their homelands. And then they sailed on, to a new land, Almaris. --- A new home. It was odd, really. The buildings towered and the cold didn’t bite at her cheeks. Maela Frostfire and her fiance, Oskar Wick turned “Theodore Napier”, settled within the city of Providence. The first to marry within the church and certainly not the last, they stayed with a family friend as those got settled into their new homes. Maela, wishing to provide what she could, decorated the home. She’d bake and bake and bake, the ever-present scent of baked goods wafting through the kitchens and the hallways. Her now husband, he’d joined the ISA. Soon, waddling as she was with child, she’d bring him a lunch each day at work. A thermos of cocoa, to go with a slice of apple pie, freshly made whipped cream drizzled over the top and a second thermos of beef stew. Each meal, each dish, something different. Soon enough, he’d been elected Alderman and doing another line of work. Their first child was born, Darien Napier II, named after her late father. Their second came shortly after, Ophelia Napier II, named after Oskar Wicks twin. Maelas mother, Althea Frostfire, soon passed on. --- A time came, then. They could no longer hold the name of Napier, having outstayed their welcome with the trusted family friend. And, so with permission of their cousin branch as Oskar, ‘Theodore’ still kept his beating heart a secret, they took on Vuiller. Oskar, ‘Theodore’ passed one day when on the job and Maela followed shortly after. One might say it of a broken heart, as the woman withered away day by day after the loss of her beloved. --- In the name of genealogy, their current descendants, living or otherwise are as listed: Darien Jonathan Vuiller II Ophelia Althea Vuiller II Antonio Pepino, son of Ophelia and Guillame, her first husband Livia Joanna, son of Ophelia and Dmitri, her second husband
