Imperial House of Olea

Purple Eyes
Purple eyes are the most common and famous characteristic of the Olea family but the origin is quiet interesting. The eye color derives from Zar's connection with Voclari after he was commanded to unite the Aristii lands. It has been passed down but not all members have it and it is not genetic in all cases with adopted children developing the purple eye slowly after their adoption.

Wavy Hair
Being considered fashionable in the early empire days and alongside Zar, Henri and Otto all having wavy hair, the dominant trait can be found in all members.

Traditional Uniforms
The traditional Autokratoras uniform is defined by a white majestic uniform with gold markings and a purple sash. The white represents purity and the sky and the heavens whereas the purple represents Voclari and imperial authority; this links with the idea that the Autokratoras is directly connected to Voclari and is passing his sentence on Eldham.

The traditional Prince uniform originated in the early Empire and is defined by a beautiful green uniform with gold markings and a blue sash. The green represents the land, specifically 'A'ristios' - the so called Great People's Land. The blue represents the sea; creating an image and suggesting the Princes position as leaders of the land.

The Olea Dynasty in Yurki
The Imperial House of Olea was founded in Yurki around the year 1490 AI with the coronation of Zar en Olea as King of Yurki. However back then it was a mere noble house that ruled the island Kingdom of Yurki. It was during those early years however that its greatest members were born, people like Otto en Olea, Zar en Olea and Henri en Olea who led the Empire of Aristios at its peak.

Autokratoras Zar en Olea I (1491-1568)
Founder of the Olea Dynasty, Zar served as the first Autokratoras of the Grand Empire of Aristios and is considered as the father of the Aristii for sparking the idea of unity between the regions. Nevertheless, Zar is not a native to Eldham and even Aristios but rather originates from Southern Rathnir. He was a strong fighter and general but very charismatic, he resigned after a heated argument with his council and specifically Otto. He died during the Republic Age when he barricaded himself in the Oleapolis forum burning it down with him, suggesting his mental decline during the sudden decline of Aristios and banishment of his son.



Autokratoras Henri en OIea I (1523-1576)
Henri was Zar's youngest son. He served as the second Autokratoras of the Grand Empire of Aristios and was known for leading the Aristii Architectural Revolution and founding Classical Aristii architecture. In addition, Henri was a strong isolationist who was against the idea of Aristiokratia and during his reign was considered the "Builder Autokratoras" due to his reluctance to deal with politics. He died during the Republic of Aristios after the fall of the Empire from a riding accident in Oleapolis at the age of 53.



Autokratoras Otto en Olea I (1518-1679)
Otto was Zar's oldest son and served as the third Autokratoras of the Grand Empire of Aristios. Otto was known for his strong diplomatic skills and political charisma. A strong interventionist, Otto founded the Eldham/Triple Entente and brought Aristios to the world stage. His nationalistic policy made him unpopular and eventually was overthrown by the military in a plot organized by Aristii allies to weaken the ever-growing Empire. Otto was banished to the shadow realm in 1562 but eventually returned after 83 years to a shattered Aristios and led the war and founding of the Imperial Provinces of Aristios. He eventually died after the battle of Akirashalam and the collapse of the Imperial Provinces came soon after.

Prince Anthonius Wize en Olea (1534-1643)
Anthonius was the first son of Otto and served the Empire firstly as a courtier and quickly rose through the ranks reaching the position of Grand Minister of Internal Affairs. He was an expert in administration, his middle name "Wize" comes from Otto's beloved godfather from Yurki. He run for Chancellor multiple times during the Republic but they blocked him from real government causing him to attempt a coup which failed and led to the loss of his domain in Yurki and expelling of the last Olea's from the Republic. He died in exile at the age of 109 somewhere in Veskalide where he served as a Council Member.



Prince Murdius en Olea-Gerrat (1535-1610)
Murdius was the son of Governor Percocet en Gerrat of Astillia, former Kratoras of Voclaria-Transardacia and Patriarch of Voclarianism. The House of Gerrat was the second strongest family in Aristios and when Governor Percocet died, Murdius was just 10 years old, therefoe he was adopted by Otto. He was name Governor-Regent of Astillia after he defeated Peppius in the election, his father Co-monarch in Kratoria en Voclaria-Transardacia (A kingdom before the creation of Aristios.) Murdius was a staunch monarchist and Oleacrat and strong advocate of Otto during and after the coup, and was also the runner up for the Nationalist Party during the first Aristii election. He was a monarchist during the Republic but was expelled after the failed Yurki Coup with his brother was discovered by the Republicans. He passed away at the age of 75 in New Sybada, Exousia after battling disease for a year in addition to a deteriorating mental health after seeing the collapse of Aristios in 1608.



Prince Shiroi Balake en Olea (1530-Unknown)
Balake was the son of Autokratorisa Shiroi Ren en Olea of Shirok, Otto's wife but biologically is not the son of Otto. He was the heir of the great kingdom of Shirokaneza in Zamotz but is not loved by the Olea family since after his mothers death he grew distant and ignored his Aristii roots. It was rumored that he helped the coup against his step-father, Otto, and acted as an agent for Zamotz. He became prominent during the Republic and mainly Zarissa which eventually failed. Balake himself was a great warrior as per Shirokaneza tradition but also a good diplomat and politician.



Prince Tjersero en Olea (1544-1655)
Tjersero was the son of Henri en Olea. Likely influenced by his father, Tjersero stayed away from politics and was not necessarily a staunch monarchist or Oleacrat during his early life since he spent a lot of time in the Republic. He was an architect who resided in Oleapolis for most of his life and is known for his contribution in research and studying early history before the rise of the Olea's and Aristios. However, in his late years, he joined Otto and the rest of the Olea's in the Aristii Revolution of 1646 and finally made his allegiances clear in the end. Tjersero lived to the old age of 111 and died in Akirashalam, dedication his final years to research and history.

Voxkratoras Lúka en Olea (1627-Present)
Lúka was born to a commoner mother and the last Alanai Horselord in the city of Zarpolis during the Second Kingdom of Aristios. During his youth he found a passion for Aristii history and culture, which he would carry through the rest of his life. He joined the Aristii Revolution at 19. There he met an old Tjersero en Olea through the cultural bureau, where he worked his way up into the inner circle of Otto en Olea. Tjersero eventually adopted him into the Imperial House of Olea. After the fall of the Imperial Provinces of Aristios he consolidated power and became Voxkratoras of Katolis and later reformed the dying Patriarchate of Voclarianism.

In stark contrast to his famously moderate father and grandfather, Lúka is known as the most fiercely nationalistic Aristii, being one of the biggest proponents of Neo-Oleacracy, Imperxion, and violent opposition to groups such as the Kasitai.



Kratoras Wize en Olea (1630-Present)
Wize was born as the son of Ryverius en Olea, King of Exousia and a high official in Veskalide. Growing up he spent most of his time with his grandfather Anthonius Wize, which is who he is named after. His grandfather told him tales of Aristios and about Wize's great-grandfather, Otto en Olea. He spent most of his time reading about Aristios and was uninterested to rule in Veskalide. Luckily for him in 1646 the Aristii Revolution started and with Otto's return he took the first ship and sailed to Aristios to join the effort. He was welcomed with open arms and in a way Otto treated him like the son he lost after the Civil War. He started off as Minister of State and then reached the high position of Grand Minister of Internal Affairs and was a major leader in the Imperial Provinces. After the fall of the Provinces instead of fleeing to Veskalide he secured the remnants of the Province of Olameronia and Amerian and established the Kratoria of Olea which he ruled and later acted as the Grand Duke of the Olea dynasty after his fathers passing.



Valka Milos en Olea (1660-Present)
Milos was born during the Imperial Provinces of Aristios in Zaropollis, he was the son of Wize en Olea and unlike his family members he was more interested in war. Growing up in hard times he considered foreign affairs and politics a waste of time but rather believed in the use of force as a way of achieving his goals. During the late Imperial Provinces he served in the army and as an officer and was in charge of the defenses in Akirashalam, an obvious impossible task. Watching his entire nation be destroyed and his friends and family killed or wounded Milos changed, falling into an obsessive state of nationalism and revanchism for Aristios. Throughout the early 1700s Milo led the VVR intervention which the Kratoria of Preyella and Olea eventually pulled out off. He later became a Valka (general) in the Tagmata en Noryxius, a military alliance between the Aristii states and serves as Grand Marshal of the Kratoria en Olea.



A'Venikos Andronikos en Olea (1671-Present)
Born as the second son of Wize en Olea, like his brother, Andronikos was a staunch militarist and fighter. However, he was also extremely passionate in history and the arts. Growing up he worked in the Imperial Tagmata and eventually joined the Imperial Palace Guard at the age of 17. He served in the Siege of Akirashalam and is the only member of the guard who survived; this due to him rescuing A'Kratoras Otto en Olea after his wound and moving him to Perdin. He blamed the death of Otto on himself and for some period his location became unknown, however it is rumored he moved to a monastery in south Astillia and trained. He returned to the Kratoria en Olea to serve his father in 1702 YAI and later became A'Venikos (Grand Marshal) of the Tagmata en Noryxius, a religious and military alliance between all the Imperial Remnant Kratorias.
