Akurai

The Akurai (Yaszumatti: 青玫), or Akurai Clan is a noble clan that exists in the Blessed Realm of Eiszura with a minor presence in the Eitsutarii Commonwealth. They have origins starting as a noble family founded by Emrys Akurai as a branch clan under the N'theth in the Raiyuna Tszunare in Eldham. The clan is currently led by Kaszuya Akurai, brother of Emrys, with Emrys' son, Kenszo as the second in command.
== Etymology ==
The name Akurai is formed from the Yaszumatti words oa and kurai, meaning "blue" and "rose", explaining the blue rose's position as one of the most valued symbols among the Akurai. With Akurai's position as head of the Leilani people, the Éspinasija word for Akurai is Ažeresa, compounded from the words ažer and resa, also meaning "blue" and "rose".
== History ==
=== Origins ===
The clan finds its roots in the old clan of N'theth, founded by a N'theth Kaszatti named Emrys. Emrys founded a branch clan called Akurai, and with time the N'theth fell from noble status and Akurai became a noble house of its own. The early Akurai was founded by Emrys alongside his most trusted friends of whom he called brothers.
=== Leadership of Calador ===
Some time after the merge of Yaszuma and the As'rian Commonwealth, the three Valoran provinces of Avant, Palomia, and Calibria were united under one Yaszrian province called Calador. Leadership of this province was granted to a notable member of the Akurai, Mecr. 
Mecr and Emrys would work together to manage the province and would establish strong relations with the native Leilani there. As mayor, Mecr improved the capital city of Albora and eventually when Emrys himself acquired the fief, he'd also make notable developments.
Nagitou is the most recognizable footstep made by the Akurai upon the Caladori landscape, with it being a beautiful palace south of Albora, designed with the Yaszumatti style seen in Umakwa and the eastern half of Raiyuna.
=== Pre Migration ===
Before the end of Ratham, Emrys stepped down as the leader of the Akurai, and gave his adopted brother, Kaszuya, the title of Akurai Atasza. Emrys also stepped away from his governorship in Calador and an Akurai named TrueLuke ascended to the position. During this time, Emrys' son Kenszo was granted mayorship of a Verden town called Aniketos by his uncle Kaszuya. The overall Akurai were thriving as their businesses and wealth stores were at successful states.
=== Post Migration ===
During the end of Ratham, the Akurai boarded the Leilani skyships and regrouped up with the Raiyunatti Fleet. The Akurai attempted to bring a lot of their wealth on board but there was very little room for it, so most of the Akurai wealth was lost. The Leilani ships along with the fleet eventually landed on the island that is now known as Lula Maishi. After disastrous events such as floods along the coasts and assassination attempts in the halls of the Shadow Palace, along with the death of the Akurai's founder, the Raiyunatti remnant fled to the mountains to the east and the Akurai built the Akurano, "blue rose house" in Leiwatu to remember their old Palace in Nagitou.
== Values ==
The Akurai share a lot of values with the general Eiszuratti and Leilani populations, valuing personal connection over blood ties. The Akurai used to believe in amassing as much wealth as they could, but with the loss of their wealth stores and a newfound devotion to the Eriszetsu spriits, the Akurai came to value the wellness of all, and became altruistic.
