House Hrafn

House Hrafn is a noble house of the Simulami Empire with its primary lands consisting of Stormgova, Novathus and various other towns spread across the Eldham colonies of Simulami. At its conception, all members followed the now dead religion of Stormgovan guardian. After a long period of death, the house eventually returned when Ornn Ludwig proclaimed his ambition to bring the house back.

Conception
House Hrafn was created thousands of years ago, and is believed to be the direct evolution to the ancient house Svarkor with the legendary figure of tales, Schmaggerd Von Skarvor as its founder.

Famine and Chaos
After a long time of general wellbeing and growth, where the Hrafns held the crown of Stormgova and thus reigned without competition, the island of Stormgova was met with a severe and intense famine that destroyed 70% of the island's population. During this famine, the king at the time, Olaf Hrafn died too which led to a 25 year long period of chaos, wars and anarchy.

During these trying times, the leftover Hrafns would isolate themselves to the jungles and mountains of the Notusa region, where some would fight as mercenaries and others would live as scavengers. When the island was reunited under Harskare Halvard, the Hrafns became the Streysman family of the Huvod region, partly due to their reputation remaining strong throughout the famine.

Leif II Hrafn was the Streysman of Huvod during the aforementioned Stormgovan collapse. He fought alongside Schmaggerd, whom returned upon hearing of the dire state his island was in. Whilst Schmaggerd lived, Leif II sadly passed away during the battle of Stormgova.

After the chaos
After the conflicts, Hrafn was met with a period of stagnation with only Birgir Hrafn living as a potential candidate for dominance over the island. Birgir was a weak person and prefered the life of a nomad over the life of a king. Stories tell of Birgir passing through the villages of the Vetr wasteland.

There, Birgir met a woman by the name of Ximena, whom gave birth to their son Seal Hrafn. Due to his weakness and unwillingness to rule, Birgir settled down as a blacksmith. He would continue this life until his death at the hands of the great storms that hit Stormgova.

Afer the storm
Surviving the storms, Seal Hrafn roamed around the island and met a woman with the name of Onix who he promptly married and had a child with. This child, Ornn Hrafn, would later travel around all of Eldham alongside Schmaggerd to learn about the world.

Seal, with Stormgova now under Simulami control, grew to become the Eldham regent for the colonies, until he mysteriously disappeared one day. Rumors say he decided to follow into his fathers footsteps and become a nomad, whilst others say Seal simply died without his body ever being recovered.

Return to Stormgova
Hearing of his father's death, Ornn Hrafn returned to his homeland. On his travels back to Stormgova, he met a woman with the name of Notusa, whom gave birth to three biological children, Janet Hrafn, Jay Hrafn and Birgir II Hrafn. Ornn would leave these three children with Lady Notusa as he returned to his land.

However, shortly after returning to Stormgova, Ornn would be adopted into House Ludwig. Perhaps out of grief or loneliness, House Hrafn was now declared dead with Ornn' ascension into Ludwig. It is there that Ornn learned to be a proper noble. It is also there that Ornn would adopt two 3 children; Melody, Abyss and Otto. The first of which disappearing shortly before adopting Abyss.

Massacre and revival of Hrafn
Whilst Stormgova grew under Ludwig rule, it was not without its faults. Under Ludwig's reign, the old stormgovan guardian temple was destroyed by the hands of Victoria Maestro, Ornn Ludwig and AByss Ludwig, alongside various other Soleviel believers.

Alongside this, Birgir II would, shortly after his sibling Janet and Jay Ludwig reunited with their father, visit his father and raid various towns of Stormgova. Most famously, Birgir would massacre and publicly execute people during a Soleviel ceremony at Pissevirke. After this tragedy, Abyss Ludwig would hunt down Birgir II, disappearing like their lost half-sibling Melody did.

After the death of Robb Ludwig, head of the family at the time, and after Abyss's return to Stormgova without Birgir II's head, Ornn and most of his children would bring back the dead House Hrafn in an attempt to become closer to their ancestor's spirit.
