Rostraya Family

House Rostraya, based in Simulani, is a Soleviel practicing Noble family founded by the first Matriarch Rayiniria hailing from Stormgova co-ruling the recently formed city of Freholm.

With no true central town to call home, the family calls most of the Stormgova district its home. The family's influence is small as of this entry, however with a marriage between Rayiniria "Rin" Rostraya and Melody Ludwig their influence may explode very soon.

Rostraya Values and Traditions
House Rostraya's principle values are exploration, devotion, and selflessness

- The Rostraya family had always been steeped in the practice of charting and adventuring into the unknown for the sake of the less adventurous they are willing to do what few have the courage to. These more adventurous souls of the family often lead more nomadic lives compared to their more homely brothers and sisters.

- The family's heavy belief in Soleviel is considered paramount in its aspirations to please a large number of the cohort's deities. As such many including the founding Matriarch follow an oath of non-violence to ensure the only battles that should be fought are those of diplomacy and sickness and follow the wishes of the cohort.

- Compared to many of Simulani's more opulent noble families, Rostraya family members are always willing to get their hands dirty for the sake of their people. A Rostrayan can often be found in the fields with his/her fellow citizen, in a tavern or apothecary treating healthy and sick alike, or on the roads finding safer routes of travel for their fellow travelers. Even though they are of noble standing, The Rostraya family will always take care of the citizenry before themselves. Family members will always try to help a new citizen enter the Empire or the family if they are in need.

Perhaps in thanks to the relative youth of the family, their traditions are less focused on themselves and more on the betterment of others. A common one is the gifting of Alcohol or Non-Alcoholic beverages to townsfolk as a sign of appreciation. Communal fishing is a far less common tradition, but one of hardship for prosperity. But the humble book and quill is the binding glue of the Rostraya family, most of the family can rarely be found without one.
