House Crimarii

HOUSE CRIMARII:

House Crimarii is an Escharian noble house which can trace it’s lineage to the Escharian Imperial House of Aesperii to slightly before the birth of Auberon. House Crimarii was founded by the player HeroCrime28 when he changed his name to Eros after visions given to him by Solaris in the fires of Ascension during the centenary of the great sacrifice, that showed the true history of his lineage.

HISTORY:

 EARLY HISTORY: 

In the 400 years of exile after the Great Calamity, the Aesperii family, at the time known Aeszerii, was forced to live into a life of peasantry in the tribes of Escharia, that was until Alvirr, changing his name to Auberon, became the first King of Escharia after uniting the Soleannen Escharian tribes and defeating the pagan ones. Auberon would go on to have two children, creating the two main branches of the Aeszerii family: Aesperii Lyrelei and Aesperii Silvarii. However, House Crimarii’s history begins a little earlier with Auberon’s uncle, who chose not to follow his nephew into court, remaining with his family and continue his life in the tribe, where his family would stay for centuries, gradually forgetting about their royal lineage. Around three centuries before the Ascension, a group of Valdic tribes from the northern continent of Plagos migrated to Niedene, there they came into contact with the tribe containing the descendants of Auberon’s uncle, and they integrated with them, and that’s why even to this day, members of House Crimarii retain some Valdic traits uncommon to Niedene people such as blond or lighter colored hair and clearer colored eyes, which are sometimes, such as in the case of Eros Crimarii, white.

 FOUNDING OF THE HOUSE: 

Centuries passed, and around 72 after the Ascension HeroCrime was born out of the royal lineage on the paternal side. Not much is known about HeroCrime’s parents as they left for an hunting trip when he was very little and never returned, their fate is unknown. HeroCrime grew up in the tribe, however his history doesn’t concern us until he turned 28, when he returned to Niedene under the invite of Isaris an Aesperii to Imperium Nation of Escharia, where he converted to Soleannen under cardinal Moz. That year was the centenary of the Ascension, to which all Soleannen members were invited, so HeroCrime went and participated in the event. After the prayers had ended, all of the other attendees went to a nearby town to party, HeroCrime stayed to admire the monument, staring at especially the large brazer in the middle. The blue flames danced, flichering, whispering their mysteries, mysteries that seemed to call to HeroCrime, putting him in trance. Before he knew it, HeroCrime found himself climbing the Ascension altar, walking into the flames, yet he did not burn, the flames instead whispered their mysteries to him, revealing to him his divine and ancient lineage. These visions showed him where to look to confirm this, marking an ancient site in which they told him he would find a bow that belonged to his ancestors. Stepped out of the flames, with him or his clothes not having taken any bit of damage, and went the site Solaris had revealed to him, there as the god had told him, he found an ancient bow, belonging to an ancient tribe. However still foolishly not believing what Solaris had told him, HeroCrime got Isaris an Aesperii drunk at his castle in Eldham, and pricked his finger, getting a drop of his royal blood. After that HeroCrime, who then owned a brewing company, went the most experienced of the alchemist in his employment, one of the most prestigious in both Rathnir and Eldham, and asked him to analyze a drop of his blood with the blood of Isaris for common ancestry. The alchemist ran some tests and a week later came back to HeroCrime, confirming that, even though it was centuries ago, the two bloods had a common ancestor. Having proven that the visions were true, HeroCrime prayed forgiveness to Solaris for his doubts, then sacrificed a gold block and his best horses and farm animals to the god, to thank him for the visions he had bestowed on HeroCrime. After that, HeroCrime gave up his Valdic name, taking up his Niedene name: Eros, and founding the noble House of Crimarii.

 CURRENT OF HISTORY OF HOUSE CRIMARII: 

Eros Crimarii served a while in Escharian politics, before being exiled by the illegitimate Emperess Veriss an Sylrei for siding with the western rebels. After the splitting of Escharia, Eros returned from his exile, and a little while after was gifted by his dear friend Aurelian an Aesperii the city of Celtenn, along with the broken down palace that came with it, which Eros renovated and made the seat of House Crimarii.

SIGIL AND MOTTO:

The sigil of House Crimarii is a black phoenix on a crimson field. The phoenix represents Eros’ in the world, as he had nothing but through his work became a nobleman and important politician in both Rathnir and Eldham, with a decent amount of wealth to his name.

The phoenix also represents the family motto: “Always rising”, cause like a phoenix, House Crimarii might find itself in ashes, but will always rise in power.
