Blackmore Dynasty

The Blackmore Dynasty is the former reigning dynasty of the fallen country the Holy Kingdom of Nucifera and current lords of the city of Anelotópolis in The Divine Kingdom of Soralae. One of the oldest noble families in Eastern Adramis, they reigned Nucifera from the Summer of 4 VE (4/17/2024) to 44 VE (9/24/2024), and predating Qynthos-Centuria's House of Gametaurus in the region by four years. 
Founded after the abdication of Lotus Sovereign ArchXngel of the Xngel Dynasty; and the Crowning of Lotus Sovereign Ferris Sinh Blackmore in the 4 VE, the house have played a central role in most of Nucifera's history, South-Western Adramis, and a bit of the rest of the Adramis continent, developing most parts of the country, strengthening the now defunct Coalition of Adramis as a member state during the Adrami Cold War, and helped in the founding of Melis Gate (Now Melisgard), before self-exiling themselves from the continent due to the growing threat of the USA and The Northern Adramis War, and settling in Aethos (Now Soralae), where they founded and rule the Holy City of Anelotópolis to this day. 
== History ==
=== Early Years ===
Not much was known of the Blackmores before their ascension to the Nuciferan throne, the only documentation being of Ferris Sinh Blackmore in his earlier years.
Coming from a now extinct House of Ukallik, a nobility who ruled two now collapsed nations from lands faraway from Abexilas, Ferris was born as Ferris Sinh Ukallik in a capital city of Ayoto of the Ukallik Shogunate. Being raised after the collapse of The Ukallik Shogunate and the exile of the Ukalliks to a neighboring empire, Ferris doesn't remember a memory when his home city wasn't in ruins.
=== Arrival to Abexilas + Adramis Subcontinent ===
Sometime between 2 or 3 VE, Ferris Sinh Ukallik changed his last name to Blackmore after the final ruler of the Ukallik Shogunate passed away after three years in exile, eventually ending the Ukallik Dynasty, and decided to leave his home region to find lands beyond. Upon arriving in Abexilas, Ferris for a year or two wandered around, mostly spending time in caves to mine iron and gold.
=== The Weirdest Ascension to One's Throne I've Ever Encountered In Gaming ===
In 4 VE, Ferris decided to settle in Adramis as he finds the continent to be a beautiful place with forests and beaches, similar to his homeland; eventually founding the city of Konih sometime in the Spring of 4 VE. He originally wanted to be a Duke of Konih, wishing Konih to be a autonomous city from whatever nation he landed on, which was Nucifera. Upon contact with the first Lotus Sovereign, ArchXngel, in an unexpected turn, ArchXngel offers Blackmore his entire kingdom, as ArchXngel has plans to abdicate the throne as he finds ruling Nucifera to be tiring. By Summer of 4 VE, Ferris Blackmore accepted the offer and became the second Lotus Sovereign, founding the House of Blackmore, and starting the Blackmore Dynasty of Nucifera, ending the Xngel Dynasty. 
=== Time in Adramis ===
In the Winter of 10 VE, The Blackmore Dynasty was incorporated as senators and government officials of Qynthos-Centuria after Lotus Sovereign Ferris Blackmore and Former Emperor Carrotter made a treaty to incorporate Nucifera into the growing Qynthi Sphere as a core member state. However, the family managed regained its full independence to reign Nucifera after declaring independence from The Qynthos Kingdom after the country's complete governmental collapse in The Spring of 33 VE. 
Unfortunately, the independence movement didn't last long, as threats from the formation of The United States of Adramis, and forced demands for Qynthos-Centuria to absorb Nucifera back into its control overwhelmed the Blackmore Family to fight for it's independence and representation in the USA government during the Northern Adramis War. Despite victory in Kaitahu, the Blackmore's sold their city of Konih and exiled to Strategosia, an Aethos vassal at the time, before the country returned the city back to the newly formed USA due to the land being useless for strategic purposes, shortly afterwards, the city of Konih was destroyed which today is named New Oceanside. 
By the year 44 VE, The Blackmore Family has formerly declared that the Kingdom of Nucifera has fallen. 
== After Adramis ==
By around 43 or 50 VE, after a while in exile in Strategosia City, The Blackmore Family was permitted to settle into Aethos due to the resistance group that the family was in at the time having close connections to former Aethos leader, BabyAce. There they founded the city of Anelotópolis , a city founded by Adrami Nuciferian refugees and exiles affected by the collapse of the Nucifera Kingdom and strive to build a better future away from the oppression of a new Adramis. 
Today, The Blackmore Dynasty currently contests the historical claims it has held since the crowning of Ferris Blackmore, and has titles in the former country of Grunewald. Most of the Blackmore Dynasty members in Grunewald in the cabinet are considered cabinet houses of the Blackmores, with the President of Grunewald being entitled to the Nuciferan throne. The Blackmore Family and it's subjects in Anelotópolis pray for a day in which their former holy ground and home in Adramis is liberated.
