Grandenhoff Dynasty

The Grandenhoff Dynasty is living in the heart of Sorligste. The name consists of the words "Granden", which means Grand, and "Hoff" which stands for hope. The creation of the family goes back to the time of the "Golden War". Great warriors who fought on both sides as mercenary groups were returning from the fights while crossing throught the great mountains and valleys of Sorligste.Their leader was a noble called Zenon who was trying to find a place to rest for the night. While they were on their way, suddenly something appeared on the sky glowing and shining like the sun. It turned out it was a golden eagle flying around them. More and more eagles appeared on the sky although they were all black and white eagles. The soldiers did not know what to do and were very confused.

Suddenly noises from the nearby forests was heard which turned out was a great pack of wolves hunting for the soldiers. It was already almost night time and Zenon knew that if they cant find a spot where to settle down for the night safely then they will get eaten by those creatures. He ask for help from the golden eagle as a last hope to find a spot. The golden eagle then flew up high in the sky, spread its glorious shining wings which lit up the entire sky and opened its eyes which created a shining line pointing to the direction of the nearest hills and swamps showing the place for the soldiers. The other black and white ones formed a great circle around them and protected the mercenary group until they reached the swamps. They arrived at the location and was blown away with the natural environment. There was a small valley surrounded by hills. It was all bordered by two grand swamps both on the east an on the west. On the north and the south there were huge rivers and lakes bordering like a great wall defending the entire area from the wildness. In the middle of the field were ruins of an ancient town where they decided to settle down finally.

Zenon thanked the Golden Eagle for the help and protection and offered his loyalty to it and later on changed his name into Eagle. In exchange the Golden Eagle gave him a gloving shield made out of steal which was mined from the deepness and forged by giants to protects their people. Later on Eagle found out the ancient civilization's origis and that they also followed the cult of the Golden Eagle which they called the Holy Eagle. The city's first ruler was a great man called St.István. Later on Eagle with its soldiers built up the city and establised St.Istvánvár under protection and rule of the Golden Holy Eagle. Later on Eagle's brother appeared in the city called Szabodavid76 and decided to open a Vault with a bank inside the town. Following the next month he decided to break free from the city and established his own capitalist town, Vault-tech. This broke the city in half for ages and made a conflicts between the two brothers.

The Grandenhoff noble dynasty ruled St.Istvánvár and its area for decades and after a long time it slipped out from their hands by falling into their enemy's hand. The family which consist of GH_Eagle and GH_Szabodavid76 migrated from the continent and are living in exile. Altough Eagle managed to return to the continent and opened a business in the Kingdom of Ederia not too far away from his old hometown. The remains of the rule of the Grandenhoff dynasty still can by found all around St,Istvánvár, although it got renamed to St.Urban and is still under occupation. The great castle of the dynasty still holds the remains of the family, and the cult of the Golden Holy Eagle still dominates the city.
