House Eaglemore

House Eaglemore is a noble house in Bardonia. This family originates from Virothen, a town in present day Annunor. The Eaglemores rule over Annunor as the Lord Paramounts

Anyone from this house can trace their ancestry back to Aetho and to the Aethian Tribes who migrated into the Annunor area after the Pirate Lord known as Lhar Kanmen took over the Kingdom of Annunor.

Orgins
House Eaglemore can trace their ancestry back to the Aethian Tribes. They had been led by their god, Aetho. Aetho led them to an area by a river which they named the Annunor river. They settled 3 towns, Virothen, Riverrine, and Anfang. The Aethians were organized and eventually, the pirates of New Farnau would become vassels of the Aethians.

All 3 towns would grow, however, Virothen would grow the most. They were the center of the 3 Aethian towns. Virothen was the Aethians Trade Hub and many merchants would live there with their families which would grow the population. In 174 TE, Aetho would lay his eyes on a merchant's daugther. He went into human form to and married the daugther. In 175 TE, the daugther would give birth to a health blacked haired brown eyed baby who they named Cyrus. The daugther died during child birth. Aetho left Cyrus to the care of 2 Middle aged people. When these people asked for his named he told them "Cyrus Eaglemore".

Cyrus' childhood and rise to power
The first 5 years of Cyrus' life was like any other boy's life. Learning how to walk, talk, write, read, etc. Cyrus would develop a love for politics and battle. Cyrus was known to be very loud and would voice his opinion even when people did not want to hear it. His foster mother homed schooled him while his foster father taught him how to handle a sword and how to ride a horse.

Cyrus would learn how the world of politics worked. From young, Cyrus wanted to rise the ranks of power in Virothen and hoped to rule Virothen some day. He started working with the people of Virothen at age 8 and helped out where he could. The people would eventually take a likely to him. During this time, Cyrus would meet a young girl named Lily. Lily was around Cyrus' age. Lily was born to 2 farmers.

When he was 13, the people of Virothen saw that they needed a leader. Someone who the people liked. There were many people who could have taken the job but the people decided to pick Cyrus. Some people could say "How can people choose a teenager as their leader?". We find the answer to this question in an oracle written in ancient virothenian:

"Jann aglo wibe who temo per lenar wilhav" that is traduced "A great leader will be who will have time to learn"

Reconciliation
We won’t talk about Cyrus' reign because he needs a separate book. We’ll just say that during his rule Cyrus was a very mild and cautious leader. It’s true, Virothen rebelled many times, but only when it was almost sure of victory.

The turning point that will change Virothen, Annunor Bay and all of Bardonia comes when Cyrus’s eldest son, Nasayu, is appointed mayor of Oda (later renamed Yuzhen). At first Yuzhen was under a strong virothenian influence so much so that the main god of the Yuzheni Folk Religion, Shi Ying, is very similar to Aetho. Nasayu had many children (Cedar, Taben, Namoto and SeaSheep). Because of this, and also because of the extreme growth of the city of Yuzhen which gained cultural independence, the descendants of Nasayu formed almost a separate branch within the family: the Yuang branch.

The reconciliation between the Eaglemore and the Yuang branch came with the formalization of Annunor Bay Province, which was made possible by Yuzhen’s political growth. On this occasion not only Cyrus and Nasayu reconnected, but also the children who were almost unknown to each other approached. This is considered the official birth of the House of Eaglemore.

Annunor Bay
As mentioned above, Virothen and Yuzhen, Eaglemores and Yuang, reconnected with the creation of Annunor Bay Province. The original plan for the province was to include the cities of Trost, Prata, Medici Manor and Lobopolis as well as Virothen and Yuzhen. However, in the first months, the province comprised only the last two cities. The initial organization of the province was very disordered:

Lord Paramount was at the head: the governor of the province and head of the Eaglemores. The first Lord Paramount is Cyrus

Immediately below Lord Paramount there was the council of the Eaglemores and the high council. In fact, despite forming two different institutions, the members were the same.

Finally there were the citizens.

Cyrus and Nasayu's death
The founders of the province, 20 years after its foundation, died within a short time. This led to profound changes in the family and in Annunor Bay.

Petrus became mayor of Virothen and soon made it the most prosperous city of Bardonia, while Cedar became mayor of Yuzhen. Nasayu’s successor as Lord Paramount was later chosen: Petrus.

The Cold War between Petrus and Cedar
Cedar was jealous of Petrus’s provincial roles. Although Petrus had immediately tried to give importance to Cedar to avoid conflict, shortly after the start of his governorship, Petrus argued many times with Cedar, who wanted to refuse any negotiations and insisted on the superiority of his position as Nasayu’s eldest son.

To avoid further fighting, Petrus gave up the role, and there is no real Lord Paramount even now. After this phase of open conflict, a Cold War between the two Eaglemores began, with Cedar gradually seizing power, despite the fact that he had repeatedly openly threatened Petrus and his governorship.

Rise of the Republic
In 1069 ACA, Cedar was able to claim power and ascend the throne. A Few months late, the Kingdom of Bardonia had collasped and had joined the Republic of Bardonia due to beliving that the Republic was stronger and that the Kingdom would get death warred. After the "merge", Cedar, with the help of the Eaglemores started to somewhat seperate Annunor from the Republic treating Annunor as if it was it's own Kingdom. Cedar was able to keep Annunor stable and keep it standing as the last Monarchist Province in Bardonia that supported the old regime. Before Cedar's death in 1091, he was able to get Annunor to leave the Republic and and join the 7th Empire of Bardonia.
