House Apisamus

House Apisamus is a Daelyrian noble family that rules Elesgate and Greater Halond. The family members consists of the current head of the family Mûreaino Apisamus, his relative and former head of the house, til his passing of old age, Koala Apisamus, and his adopted children and Mûreainos cousins Janaina Apisamus and Havaenar Apisamus. The Apisamus family is known for owning Lupercal Tavern, in Halond, for introducing the worship of bees into Draconism and for reviving the Church of the Two Lôdiem.

Origin
The House Apisamus originated when the Elesgatî Tribe migrated to Helmia. A man named Potiauara Apisamus was the king of the tribe and the founder of the House Apisamus. He married a nobel woman of the tribe named Tanora, and together they had a pair of twins, Eonelor and Lomaina Apisamus. They also married and had children, and so did the children of their children and grandchildren of their children. Throughout all this time, the family ruled over the Elesgatî Tribe with no disturbances.

As the generations passed, the Royal House of Elesgate became bigger and bigger. However, that changed when the Nelondians colonized the land and killed most of the royal family. Only one member was able to survive, that being Paneryon Apisamus. He only survived because he married a Daelyrian woman, called Meryal Nykeēdar and because he converted to Draconism. Together they had 2 sons, Lothom and Mineryo Apisamus.

These men were the ones who formed the 2 branches of the modern House Apisamus. Lothom Apisamus married an unknown Daelyrian woman and had Koala Apisamus, father of Janaina Apisamus and Havaenar Apisamus, while Mineryo Apisamus married a nobel woman from Elesgate called Selitta, and they had a son named Potiauara Apisamus II, father of Mûreaino Apisamus.

Throne Crisis
On the 6th of July, 2022, Janaera Apisamus resigned her rights to the throne of Elesgatî due to falling in love with a non-nobel and heretic. After her abdication, the rights to the throne passed down to Mûreaino Apisamus, the current head of the House Apisamus, King of Elesgatî and Lord of Elesgate. When she abdicated, Janaina also decided to flee the nation to join the nation of Aurlûnor.

Looks and Traits
Before the nelondian colonization, the members of House Apisamus had the classical appearance of any Elegaxian: With brown skin, dark brown hair and black eyes. However, when Paneryon Apisamus married Meryal Nykeēdar the looks of the family became a mix between the Daelyrians nobel family and the Elegaxian royal family: With a more light toned skin colour and hair colour, but maintaining the black coloured eyes. The family values justice no metter what, having the philosophy of An eye for an eye. However, they are also very forgiving, but only when people seek forgiviness.
