Ruuk

= The Ruuk Family = Ruuks in Eldham originated from the migration of the three siblings Beatrice, Glen, and Rose Ruuk in Summer of 147 ítévas standard (I.S.). They were born to Aríla and Amádéis Ruuk in Ítéa, a far-off region of Hell where the ítévas dwelled. The matriarch of the family was Beatrice Ambrosia Ruuk, the eldest Ruuk remaining in Eldham. She and her descendants inhabited the region of Aristios, most commonly the town of Ryukostead.

Amádéis Ruuk
Amádéis was a cartographer of Ítéa's expeditions. Most significantly, he drew the maps from Ítéa to Eldham as he followed Voclari pilgrims through the Wastes. His children with his wife Aríla later used his maps to make their own journey to the distant lands.

Aríla Ruuk
Aríla was an aristocrat in Ítéa society. She used her influence over the tides of the oligarchical government to secure financing for her husband's expeditions.

Beatrice Ambrosia Ruuk
Beatrice was the founder of Ryukostead, the first ítévas settlement in Eldham. She adopted the identity of Aristii as her Voclari neighbors did and was around during many significant events in the history of Aristios. Most significantly were her support for the Commonwealth during the challenging of the Empire and her time as a high-ranking Republic official. Late in her active career, she founded the Abbey of Dulfika, which quickly passed to her daughter.

Clésúm Rúbvítí Ruuk
Clésúm was one of Marigold's children. Her mother quietly insisted to each of her children that they were progeny of the goddess Omari, much to their bewilderment. She spent her early life learning from her grandmother Beatrice about the great expanses of the world and its histories. Her childhood dream was to be able to rewind time and experience all that had happened before she could bear witness.
