Van Bee Dynasty

The Van Bee Dynasty is a wealthy family in the Razuni Sultante and the state of Medena. It is lead by the head of the house Van Bee, Z'swaku S. T. L. Van Bee. It contains a few other families besides the Van Bee, such as the house of Fatum, the house of Drakonov and the house of Rallius.

Origin
The Van Bee Dynasty origins from the same named Bee Family. The first appearance of this family was in the First Republic of Medena, in which it's three members by that time, played already some major role in the history of this small state. These first three members of the Bee family where the two siblings Sheep and Silver. Sheep was entitled as the head of house, as he was the oldest. Though he just was the head of the house Bee in a representative way, as their dad who adopted both of them when they still were very young, did not come with them to this new world.

First Republic of Medena
The sister of the head of house, Silver Bee founded a monarchist party for the first upcomming election, with the idea to create a constitutional monarchy, her brother supportet the Idea. He was not able to reform the first republic in such a way, as he was the head of the council of governmnent and hence not allowed to participate in any elections. The first election of Medena was as well the last time Silver would participate in Medenian politics ever again, the three other candidates, which all oposed monarchy worked together to make this election a very uncompfterbal time for Silver, she eventually annoucned her withdrawl from the election, in which she actually had the lead.

First Razuni Sultanate Era
After the first election happened, which was followed by the first festival and the Medenian emergancy. Medena became a state of their neigbur country of the Razuni Sultanate and the Bee family faded sligtly into being forgotten, but it was brought back by how the two siblings participated in the Razuni Sultanate, during that time, Sheep gained his Razuni themed name Z'swaku and he adopted the noble title Van to the family name. Though yet the Van Bee family did not hold a lot of power, they spent a lot of time with the Blackwood family and the desendence of the Razuni Sultans. It would take many more years until Z'swaku would regain his power over Medena, as since the first Medenian Festival, the main leader was Alaina Arianrhod, the minister of foreign affairs of Razuni will later lead Medena, together with her uncle, into a new age, which would lead to Z'swaku ragain control over the Medenian lands.

Kingdom of Irisnia and the Palean Era of Medena
After Vanderis Arianrhod won his second election and the Medenian province gained more and more autonomy, to later form the Kingdom of Irisnia in the year 81 ASU, the Bee family slowly gained influence. Z'swaku was placed in a high government position in Irisnia, while as well remaining as a well trusted citizen in the Sultanate. So the Van Bee family acted as a mediator between the Razuni Sultanate and the Irisnian Kingdom, as well between the two royal families, the Blackwoods (now Kollisyaid) and the Arianrhods.

When the Irisnian Kingdom joined the High Kingdom of the Pale, the Irisnian royal family slowly started to go extinct. When the last remaining Arianrhod, Alaina, became sick, she passed the title of Jarl (Province leader in the Pale) to Z'Swaku, from then on a Van Bee was again in charge of Medena. Medena would remain a part of the Pale until it's fall in 110 ASU which also marked the dissolution of the Irisnian Kingdom and the birth of the short lived Second Republic of Medena which eventually would later rejoin the Razuni Sultanate.

Second Republic and the New Razuni Sultanate Era
in the year 110 ASU the last king of Irisnia, Agorith Fazdor decided together with Z'swaku Van Bee, that Irisnia should be desolved and it's territory split between each other, this gave Z'swaku and the Van Bee family a national state to work with: The Second Republic of Medena. Z'swaku established a constituational monarchy and formed the base of a Dynasty.

Just two years after the creating of this new state, Z'swaku announced, that Medena would reintigrate into the Razuni Sultanate, as the weakend Medenian state was not ready to stand by itself and afterall Razuni was seen as the brother-nation of Medena. In Razuni Z'swaku was able to extend his families powers by becoming a member of the court of the marked and extending his family. So the small family grew to a decent sized noble family with conections to other strong families in the region as well international.
