House Varrani

House Varrani is a royal house of the Holy Empire of Osriguard, and holds one of the three imperial titles in the country. The Varrani emperors are descended from Uraki traders and a small Islands noble house.

Origins
Born of a small islands nameless noble family and a Uraki trader in 257 TE, Brynden was a child with little hope for any success, and spent his early life on the tiny rock of Blackstone, becoming an adept seafarer, though lackluster with a sword.

In the Winter of 261 TE at the age of 14, Brynden became Lord Protector of Ersine, Blackstones pathetic, small domain. As the Uraki Imperium collapsed into ashes, he travelled to the great city and make friends with Aersnya Osri Draconis, the Lord Protector of Osria, and Castell Sterlingcrest, a wealthy banker. When those two couped the government of Uraka, he aided them in they aftermath and joined the government of the Royal Lands of Osria.

Hand of the Royals
As Brynden rose to the position of lexarch, he proved an able administrator in diplomatic relations and stabilizing the country. He had a certain diplomatic charm to him, which helped compensate for a blunt nature, which somewhat dimmed his success.

His prowess in government led to his appointment to the position of Hand of the Royal in 263 TE, which led to him becoming the most influential individual in Osria. He engaged in a flurry of activity, stabilizing the countries diplomatic relations and preventing a continued war. He also stopped the attempted rebellion in attempt to put Shard Aurelian, the last Imperator of Uraka back on his throne.

Holy Empire of Osriguard
Having negotiated close alliances with the Xynthian Commonwealth of Stoneguard, it was decided in the late Autumn of 264 TE that there should be a unification between the two countries. Under the banner of the Holy Empire of Osriguard, Brynden took the name Varrani as his own, meaning strong in an older Uraki dialect.
