Bakura Dynasty



The Bakura Dynasty is a noble house within the Imperial Archonal Union of Viodoxa. Its members are mostly concentrated within the continent of Cymru, which is where the house's familial estate is located. It was founded by Ryou Bakura on the 12th of October, 2021 during the final days of the now-disbanded Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa, where Ryou held the position of Mayor of Viodoxa City.

Origins
The Bakura family is often thought to be of Aurlûnorian descent due to the relatively foreign sound of their name and the almost identical architectural style of their estate, Kalai Bali. However, no evidence which would otherwise prove this has been found nor disclosed by the family.

What is known is that the Bakura family lived together in Viodoxa city until the parents of the three Bakura brothers (Ryou, Dausnd, and Pelagius) died at some point during the brothers' childhood, succumbing to food poisoning due to consuming raw and likely diseased fish. The brothers were subsequently seperated. Pelagius ran away from Viodoxa City and off beyond the border of the known world, settling in with a community of Illerans and adopting their language. Ryou remained in Viodoxa and wound up in an orphanage.

Ryou
See also, "Ryou Bakura"

When Ryou reached adulthood, he left the orphanage and secured his own residence in the poor neighborhood of Viodoxa City, Ethreon. During his early adulthood he read many books and attained much knowledge. Eventually he became an author himself, setting up a shop which he appropriately named "Bakura's Books". He succeeded in selling some to the local population of the city and gained a small reputation for himself. This caught the attention of the then-organizer of the city, Paulos Zevedeos, who granted Ryou a position on the city council, marking the start of Ryou political career.

At some point Paulos resigned from the position of organizer, seeing his work in Viodoxa City as being done. The Archduchess of Adytum appointed Ryou as Baron of the city in Paulos's place, then as Count of Hanu, which designated him as in charge of both Viodoxa and the neighboring city of Barbatlas, thus officially making him a nobleman. After this, Ryou rejoined his brothers and adopted a son, Delta, formally of the clan of Von Nachtig, effectively re-founding the scattered Bakura family.

As the Second Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa fell, Ryou became the Marquis of Adytum. In this position, he had adopted Cassiath as his own son. As the State of Seratovia was then replaced by the Third Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa, Ryou became the Archduke of Adytum, which he would remain till the end of the Purple Insurrection. He would force Archon Augustine Salvay to surrender, after the two battles of Viodoxa City went disastrously due to internal mistakes. Ryou set up Checkpoint Charlie to mend ties with both sides. Despite not being an Archduke, he was allowed to stay in Silvay and build his own city, Ryoujing. His influence within the country remains prominent, due to his experience.

Along with this, he married Llyre es vel volaerys wir O’Valmeñ kes dem Spheniscidae.

Pelagius

Pelagius somehow fled beyond the world border, where he settled with and assimilated into a community of Illerans. He adopted the Illeran language as his own, thus taking his surname, "Bakura", and rendering it to the Illeran "Bacuera". Pelagius came to live a rustic agrarian lifestyle while settled among the Illerans, taking the trade of a wheat farmer. While working his fields one day, he experienced a divine revelation, which prompted him to abandon his farm and establish the theological philosophy of Protosophism and return to Cymru.

Pelagius returned to the archonate and lived a semi-nomadic lifestyle, maintaining but rarely visiting his residence in the city of Lonely-Light. He was impoverished and of no influence, and had no success in teaching his theology to any of the Viodoxans. This was in part due to a general lack of motivation but also the rapid spread of Soleannen promoted by archon Loic. Pelagius, recognizing the dangers of the spread of Soleannen in Cymru, took to combatting it by aligning himself with the Church of Guhen, which shared his motive. A series of events led to Pelagius merging his theology with Guhenism and becoming an archbishop. He played a large part in reviving the traditional faith of Viodoxa and gained a reputation as a talented theologian.

Dausnd, other then his brothers, got adopted by a family from a far away country. Due to the wealthiness of his new Family, he got the opportunity to study oriental Architecture with his new won adoptive brother and sister. After he finished his archtiecture studies he took his siblings with him and returned to Cymru. His adoptive siblings will later go back to their family.

As the three siblings wandered through Cymru the found a beautiful scenery, a mountain surrounded by two lakes. As soon as they saw the scenery they knew they wanted to establish their homes there. They started the foundations of Kalai Bali, a town in wich later the Bakura Family palace will be established. A few days later he visited Viodoxa to get permissions for building his town in said place. During his visit in Viodoxa he re-united with his siblings.

Delta

Delta once lived peaceful in his Town in Bardonia called Nýchta, but Bandits in the Nation they were living in didn't care. Their clan was rich in resources and so, they raided their Town in a single night. Delta's Father died while trying to protect his wife and son. The Clan which once had over 100 Members, now only had 13 left. They fled for 2 years, and once they arrived on a coast near Viodoxa City, they settled in Aezenfjord. After having their settlement destroyed for a second time, he moved to Viodoxa City.

After Delta received word that his Mother had passed away, it threw him into depressions. Ryou noticed that Delta didn't leave his House in a few days and went to Delta to talk with him. Ryou had just started a new Family, the Bakura Family. By asking Delta if he wants to be adopted, he tried to give him a new Family so he could smile again. The van Nachtig Family was completely erased and so Delta took on the Surname of Bakura.
