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.

She adopted the identity of Aristii as her Voclari neighbors did and was around during many significant events in the history of Aristios.
