Rainier Family

The Rainier name appeared approximately four centuries before the Holiest War began in 102 BG. Despite being a prominent and influential family before and during the war, the Rainier name had died out by 136 AG. It remained effectively extinct until it's revival in 4324 AG by Matteo Shribe, a self-proclaimed descendant of the original family.

=== The Holiest War (103 BG-0 AG)===
In the year 103 BG, the Rainier family was at the height of its strength. Wealthy industrialists, their only real competition in both riches and stature was that of the Hudson family, of which the two had a notorious feud. At that point the fighting was three generations deep with no end in sight, but for the most part was made up of petty squabbles and underhanded business tactics.
Historians theorize that the feud between the two families was rooted in their devotion to different Gods. The Rainiers were members of the faith surrounding _, god of the _, while the Hudsons gave worship to _, god of _.
The relative peace was forever changed with the disappearance of Marcus Rainier, eldest son and heir to the Rainier fortune; and Peach Hudson, second daughter of the Hudson family. The families immediately blamed each other for the disappearances, and instead of putting efforts into locating their missing children, instead fully turned on each other.
Certain of the other family’s guilt, a civil war broke out in the city that stretched many years. As the members of the families died off, the war took on heavier religious tones, its original purpose being twisted and forgotten, and eventually it became a war to claim the One True God.
This war decimated so much of mortal civilization that the Gods, fearing they’d have nothing left to rule, stepped in, reuniting what was left of humanity. This event changed the course of history, even affecting the count of the yearly calendars (BG, Before the Gods, and AG, After the Gods)
By the year 136 AG, the Rainier family name had died out, ending the official bloodline.

===Rainier Renaissance (4324 AG)===
After the Great Flood, a man named Matteo Shribe claimed that he was distantly descended from the Rainier Family. With the world in a state of disarray, there was no one to dispute the claims, and Matteo used that to his advantage. Having spent his life building a fortune as a businessman, he claimed he’d done just as his ancestors had done, and that their family would once again be great. He purchased a plot of land and built an estate for his family.
===Five Hundred Year Legacy (4325-4758 AG)===
What's known about the family in this time comes from few records found inside the Rainier Mansion. 
In the wake of the Great Flood, my grandfather, Matteo, declared that our bloodline was descended from the infamous Rainier family. The Rainier name died off in the generations directly following the Holiest War, and their descendants forgotten to time. And with all records destroyed by the risen waters, there was no way to officially dispute this claim. After the chaos settled, Matteo used his vast wealth to build a mansion distant from all other communities, and ushered his family within its walls. We stay on the grounds to protect us from those who may wish to separate us—after all, keeping our blood pure is of the utmost importance. It will all be worth it when the Gods return for us.- Redmayne Rainier, 4385 AG
Monday: Our parents insist that Holston and I spend time together, but we’ve never gotten along. He’s loud and obnoxious and always interrupting my reading time! They know he’s a brute, but they’re so persistent… they tell me it’s important to the family that we get along, but I don’t know… maybe if I explain it again they’ll see where I’m coming from?
Thursday: They just told me. I’m meant to marry Holston in a fortnight, but I’d sooner dive into the canal and never surface! Why not cousin Jaskier, or Samuel? A donkey would be better.- Elaine Rainier, 2466 AG
My sweet boy passed today. The sickness claimed him, just like the others. This disease is bad enough for adults, but the children… the poor children… Victorie is still sick, and no matter what Grandmother says I know she won’t get better. Just like my poor Aristade.
We knew the Indigo Demise was deadly, but not this bad. Victiorie is the last of our children, and if she goes the entire next generation of Rainier’s will be gone. I can feel our ancestors rolling in their graves.- Alyson Rainier, 4505 AG
Aunt Lyah and Cousin Terry got into another screaming match in the Dining Hall. We all heard, even though we pretend not to have. She’ll never forgive him for saying her new haircut looked busted, but you know what? It did. The rest of us just know better than to antagonize Lyah. The woman loves a good fight.- Droffo Rainier, 4603 AG
Uncle Olivier is so weird. He doesn’t come to dinner or spend any time with us, he just holes up in the library with his pet spiders. It’s all he cares about. I tried to talk to him about it once, but all I got was that “blue spiders are typically aggressive, but if you leave them alone and don’t show fear they leave you alone.” I swear, he loves those things more than his own wife and children.
