Coat of Arms
The boats on the top (next to the crown) represent commerce. Both Commercia and Ecrium are cities located directly next to the sea. Consequently, maritime trade has always played a major role in the family's history. As merchants, House Kommerzzi has prospered. Gold represents wealth, while the unicorn in the center can be regarded as a symbol of wisdom and courage. Red is the color of strength, while silver represents peace.

Assassination and Fall of House Kommerzzi
Extract from Michael's Memorandum:

"I remember fragments of what happened on that one faithful night. Screams, striking lightnings, darkness. Endless darkness. It's very late, way past midnight. Intimidated, I open my eyes, stand up and run to my parents' room ... but everything I saw were lifeless and injured bodies. Black. Everything is black. I fall. Lose my consciousness. This is where my memory ends.

When I opened my eyes again, I was at a totally different location. In a forest, directly next to the beach. Up to this day, I do not know how I got there. The criminals who took my parents' life might have brought me there. Anyways, I searched for berries and drinking water. I remember the sun shining and the air feeling very dry. When I was about to die, Tsarina Alinya Volkovski Adalwolf of Wolfingrad found and rescued me. She adopted me, raised me and gave me a new home in Wolfingrad.

My exact date of birth, origin and even name were unknown for years. I might have been around four or five years old when I lost my parents. Unfortunately, humans do not remember their very first years of life. For years, I felt empty, not knowing who I was. There has always been this giant mystery. However, one day I suddenly met merchants travelling through Wolfingrad and they seemed to recognize me. "Hey, darling. Doesn't this guy look a lot like the former Earl of Kommerzhy?", is what the woman said. "You are right... could it be possible that his child survived?". I approached them and tried to get more information.

It turned out that I am the last-living descendant of House Kommerzzi and the son of Michael II. who was the last Earl of Kommerzhy. The merchants I met used to work at my father's palace. My parents were widely respected and generous nobles. Nonetheless, Kommerzzi's prosperous and content shine also brought about its dark sides: jealousy and gear. House Kommerzzi used to be one of the world's richest families, with millions worth in assets and coins. The king of my father's nation (it no longer exists) wanted to have everything for himself: the magnificent Kommerzzi Palace, Kommerzhy's citizens' wealth and my father's land. Consequently, the king commissioned criminals to eliminate my ancestors.

I finally had clarity. And found out my real name: Michael III. Kommerzzi. However, this information brought about even more pain. The knowledge about everything that had been taken from me and my family. Everything was gone. I had clarity, but still felt unhappy and lonely. When the merchants left Wolfingrad, I decided to rebuild my family's reputation and wealth. In the same year, I founded the city of Commercia where I first woke up after the faithful night: at the forest next to the beach."
