House Blackfyre

House Blackfyre of Aestyria is the royal family of the The High Kingdom of Aestyria and Mithra

Origin
After the Attack on Kush, a small group of citizens from the Republic of Kush, tired of the raidings and the war, banded together and escaped from their old home to found a new one at a place very far from from their old roots. These four original founders were: TheUnburnt__, Strivers, DuskShard, and Beastfrog. Unburnt kept the main title as king.

About the House
House Blackfyre of Aestyrian is one of the highest noble families of the High Kingdom of Aestyria, as it is the royal family. The family currently has two membesr, Unburnt Blackfyre (ign: TheUnburnt__), who is canonically dead, and his cousin Jayhawk Blackfyre. It's seat is the Blackfyre Palace in the former capital city of Daelyria, Daelyria, a city of the same name. It is a line of Kings and heroes, with both of the two youngest members of the house ruling Daelyria and all of its successor states. The Blackfyre bloodline is said to have begun by the Draconian Ruler of the Gods, Arrax.

History and Genealogy
The only current members of House Blackfyre are Unburnt and Jayhawk. Neither are currently married, but he does have forefathers. The family has its roots with the great demi-god Aeron, the Dragonrider, son of the god Arrax. Aeron married a woman called Daenyra, another demi-god, daughter of Gaelithox, whom gave birth to twins: Daemon and Daena, who established the Blackfyre name after their marriage to keep their divine bloodline pure. Daemon was forevermore calle Daemon, the Black Dragon. For several centuries, the process continued, before one day Daena Blackfyre (married to Laenor Blackfyre) gave birth to Unburnt Blackfyre, who was named after the myth that Blackfyres are immune to fire. After the several attacks on Kush, Unburnt Blackfyre found three other refugees: Dusk of House Synderys, as well as Beastfrog of House Nymeros and Strivers. They moved to an island and their powers were awakened. Since then, the Black Palace was raised by Unburnt himself, as well as most of the islands residences, crafted of the materials found deepest in the infernal pits of hell itself, honoring his name as Unburnt.

Looks and Traits
House Blackfyre has perhaps the most classical Daelyrian looks of any noble family, except maybe House Synderys. With lilac purple eyes, pale, platinum-blonde hair and pale skin, the Daelyrian gene is strong in the family. Dragon dreams are also common in the family, and it was this that inspired the foundation of the Daelyrian. House Blackfyre often resorts for peace and diplomacy over the sword and bloodshed (With a few familial exceptions like Baelor II). They are also a very cold and formal, but also can be kind and charitable.

Reign of King Unburnt I Blackfyre, the Founder
He started by establishing the Public Mines, right under where was later constructed the first royal residence: The Kingfort. After the Public Mines were established, Unburnt and Lord Strivers began construction on the Kingfort, a small castle made of cobblestone to house the High Princes and the King itself. After a time on construction, it was finalized with the Throne of Daelyrian, made of blackstone. King Unburnt also established the High Daelyrian Council (known simply as Daelyrian Council at the time.) While the council took other actions, Unburnt expanded the capital city, with new housings, a elevated portion of the city, the construction of a temple for the Fourteen Gods the High Princes worship and made public farms for new citizens. Unburnt also built the walls around Daelyria and accepted to join Sterling Crownlands (till it's fall). After the dissolution of Owyddnorr, Unburnt I and his council of High Princes expanded its kingdom's borders further unto the continent. Unburnt also started demolishing the Kingfort and the construction of a new royal residence. Unburnt also expanded the capital city and formed a artificial island by connecting to the other smaller islands around the city. His reign also saw the establishment of multiple cities such as: Illerya, the failed colony of Ollerya, Duskopion and Vhagaria. As well as multiple castles such as Arraxia, Frostarch, Duskfang and many more. The king is currently working on a complete remake of the capital city.

During the Unburnt's reign of Daelyria, he was approached by leaders of the Archduchy of Astoria to establish a new union Helmia. First, Astoria proposed a oligarchic state, but later, Unburnt was chosen as the monarch of this union. During this period, a rebellion sparked inside Daelyria, led by the Halond city in other to conquer independence, led by Miksa of House Silverhand. This ended with Halond seeking peace and being recognized as a Grand Duchy (now called Archonates). Miksa was banished by Unburnt himself. Miksa later established a company and died of old age.

In order to bring Baykonia to the union, Unburnt and Astoria invited the Zamotz Union. This failed after the diplomat Wheyloffle of Astoria left, with Zamotz claiming lack of communication of the Rathniri part of the union the day after, as well as denouncing Kastollia's actions of illegally seceding their union, buying Baykonia's territory and joining the Arcovel (now called Aestyria). This has not developed into any conflicts with Zamotz, who stopped answering to Unburnt's appeals to negotiation. The union was finally complete, but after five weeks of existance, Kastollia found a loophole on the union treaty and peacefully seceded Aestyria with the Grand Duchies of Halondia and Ataraxia.

After the Varandoyan secession, Unburnt created The Blackfyre Edict to fully organize the nation's nobility, roles, obligations and titles, as well as revised the code of law written by Beastfrog, and later reformed into Aestyria.

Years later, Unburnt and Jayhawk put their familial quarrels aside and rejoined into the dual monarchy of the Varandoy-Aestyrian Kingdom. He and Jayhawk managed to conquer and estabilize the nation of Alamayn.

While continuing reigning, Unburnt continue to grow sick old, and later on died a few years after the familial reunion, and making Jayhawk the soul king on the VAK (later Mithra).

Reign of King Jayhawk I Blackfyre
The reign of King Jayhawk has so far been defined by struggles, negotiations but also triumphs and expansion. Jayhawk worked on intergrating the nation of Alamayn into Mithra, which proved to be a stressing task, but he persevered, and managed to intergrate them into the kingdom. He also ran negotations with the Zamotz Union and gained their protection. Jayhawk was a scheming and plotting king, with massive spy networks spread across the world. He managed to give rights to Alamayn, such as the former nation having their own monarchs, they were removed from their roles after conflicts during the High Council meetings. This was the first spark of the Alamani rebellions.

Reign of Murad I Blackfyre
Abdicated the throne after two days of reign. This marked the end of House Blackfyre as a royal family.

Interregnum
After the abdication of Murad, Mithra ended in a period of interregnum with a total of three kings and one pretender till the The Mithran-Dandelion War. The pretender was the rightful heir of Unburnt Blackfyre, Maekar Blackfyre, which tried to claim the throne but was refused by Jayhawk's establishment for being too much like his father. This period was filled with rebellions and wars and also marked the end of Mithra. These were:

King Dusk of House Synderys
Dusk is one of the founders of Daelyria, the nation that preceded Mithra. He was chosen by the High Council to be king. He managed to reign for a few days till he abdicated the throne with many rebellion plots to overthrow him. One of the traitors was Ianak, which was chosen as the successor of Dusk.

Reign of Ianak
Ianak didn't belong to any prominent houses and was given the throne by Dusk after rallying against the new king in one of the many rising rebellions against Dusk. During his first and only day of reign, Ianak attempted to partition Mithran lands between Bardonia and Kyydrosil, this was vetoed by the High Council that removed the king of his position.

King Miksa of House Silverhand
Miksa, also a old member of Daelyria, the founder of Islerion, he was chosen by the High Council to be king, and made a good job till the The Mithran-Dandelion War, where Mithra was dissolved and integrated into Kyydrosil, forming the Helmian Federation (Helmia).
