House Lutum

== Ancient History ==
during the ancient days of the Gnome colonization of Maddrak, Mrau were treated as pests --and even slaves-- to the Gnomes, that is, up until their downfall. After the collapse of the massive Gnome Empire, the Gnomes and Mrau would hunt each other, a special hatred brewed between the two races. The most unlikely thing happened, however, the leader of the gnomes at the time after the collapse of their empire got married to the leader --and general-- of the Mrau people. the Arbastor royal line (gnomes), and the Fynx royal line (Mrau) became one because of their marriage. their love almost single-handedly brought their entire race together, as they both had much respect for their respective leaders. Their line would constantly have fluctuating numbers, and different races become a part of it; but, the Gnomes and Mrau would always be there. 
House Lutum was not originally called House Lutum, its name has changed various times through history, but, it is known that the name of the house has typically been named after the region the royal family has tended to. With this knowledge, it can be assumed that its original name was something akin to 'House Maddrak.' House Lutum has also had name changes because of House Mergers, a merging of two or more royal families via marriage or parenthood.
House Lutum has almost always been a more quiet noble house, typically not taking part of things outside of their region, they have been described as hermits before. Some members moved out of their original region, sure, but they typically kept to themselves after such events; leaving House Lutum members to be found all around the globe --albeit very sparsely.
House Lutum has never been very 'pure' about their noble blood, to the Mrau & Gnomes, a family isn't dictated by that; for this reason, many House Lutum members have been adoptees of orphans, or people who have lost their blood-related parents.

=== Family Members & History ===
Clarky Arbastor (also know as Clarky Cat) was one of the only descendants left of House Lutum, and he knew how vital it was to keep the line alive; it was one of the main reasons for the prevention of an all out war between the Gnomes & Mrau of Maddrak. Clarky had been king for a long time now by this point, and it was time for him to choose his heir. In a stroke of brilliance, Clarky adopted Blue Arbiter (a smart politician who had helped Lutum as a whole) and named him his heir. This came at a price however, you see, when Clarky settled the town of Lutumshire after his close confidant (Un_Sabroso_Huevo) saw a vision from Da Berry, He saw the reason as to why this land had not been settled before. Dwarves and Witches had put a curse upon this land, cursing any who step foot there to slowly go mad. Clarky knew that he could not have his citizens going through this, so he --with the help of Un_Sabroso_Huevo-- cast a counter-spell on the lands, making it so that only the leader(s) & House Lutum would be affected, it was dubbed, 'The McClarky Curse'. This would mean that Blue Arbiter would have to deal with this curse, but he was willing to bear its burden. By this point in time, Blue and Clarky had named their royal family 'House Arbiter,' after Blue's last name.
After Clarky's retirement, He would marry 36Reaper, only to constantly divorce and re-marry him over and over again; although, he is typically seen as a permanent part of the family, and Clarky's kid's other father.
After Un_Sabroso_Huevo went into a berry coma, Da Berry would pick a new bope for Berrism, Sr.Presidente. Since Pres didn't have any known parents, Clarky offered him a spot in House Lutum's family tree, to which Pres accepted.
Clarky would also eventually find Nyava Fynx, and would vaguely remember the last name, but he never truly found out why. Clarky would offer to adopt Nyava nonetheless, and Nyava accepted. after this, the house's name would once again be changed, this time to its original, 'House Arbastor.'
After Nyava was adopted, things quickly began to ramp up for the family. Nyava would adopt two children within days of each other; Captain Franz & Ember. Blue would adopt Faithiqs --a skilled fisher and busineeswoman-- into House Lutum. And Presidente would marry Sepet Eringard (a last descendant of his own royal family), and merge their families together, changing the name to 'House Erin-Arbastor.' with this change, came the addition of 'House Head rule;' "Whomever is the oldest living (and not incapacitated) member of the largest bloodline at the time is to be declared Supreme Head of House, with the oldest living members of the other bloodlines being declared heads of their respective bloodline (a [Supreme] House Head's will is the only exception to this rule, in which case, the title may be passed on to whomever they wish)." this also lead to them having 1 Head of House per noble family, but one Supreme Head of House for the entirety of the royal house.
Unfortunately for Nyava, Franz would die soon after he was adopted.
Sepet himself would go onto adopt children; Octaviano, SSSamuraii, Evzen, Collier, and Kazuko. The Eringard family as a whole was vastly different to the Arbastors, and this cause a lot of infighting between the two, the tension just kept rising from there.
Nyava would marry many, many people through his lifetime, never slowing down. his list of marriages are; Koru-Aki Rezuraia, Aryen Lumiya-Nuwan, Eliyawan Yinower-Nuwan, Badibedo Petrausk, Anon Rune, Antek z Cervenliska-Kyani, Falska Viatrix-Fynx-Silvaranth-Červenliška-Rune, Lumiyumi, Lord Volt, Azeliya Lannien, and Meier S (more or less in that order). He would also go on to have a child with Eliyawan, Anachorna; though, she would die soon after. Some of his children and spouses would also go missing or die not too long afterwards.
Nyava would go on to adopt Eliza Lovegrove and Zane Kohen at almost the same time into House Lutum, and boy was it eventful. a mix of Clarky's alcohol consumption and the McClarky curse led to Zane & him arguing, eventually, most of the rest of the family joined it; this led to Nyava (pushed by Zane and cheered on by the rest of the Fynxs) to declare themselves as a seperate House, Clarky tearing down the family gather area did not help the situation one bit (this is strangely know as the "Booba Incident 2"). They would all eventually calm down, and Clarky would step down as Supreme Head of House, passing the title onto Nyava; leaving them still semi-united. This now meant that the 3 royal families were under the new banner of 'House Lutum.'
After the Lutum coup in Diregon --caused by many internal country problems & family arguing/tension-- the Arbastors [Clarky] & Fynxs [Nyava] were against the Eringards [Sepet]), the Eringards would leave House Lutum altogether after their loss (via Presidente & Sepet's divorce), with the Arbastors and Fynxs cheering. This made the number of royal bloodline go back down to two. After this event, things began slowing back down for House Lutum, whether that's for better or worse is up for interpretation.
Ember would go on to marry Mikey Taco, though they would later get divorced due to Mikey not wanting children, and allegedly harrassing Ember's pet Vulper. Mikey would later marry back into the family by marrying one of Nyava's husbands, Anon; changing his name to Mikey Rune.
After some time, Ember found a new partner, "Fighter" Bog Yolcotl-Durradayne. They would have a child soon after, he would be named, Myrdin Fynx. Nyava would also have another child with one of his husbands. Antek and him would have Zsunia z Cervenliska-Fynx, a baby daughter who was 25% Mrau, and 75% Sumari.
After it seemed the family could rest easily, Nyava died. He had long since had many illnesses, curses, addictions, and etc... but he had so many that nobody thought that he would actually die from them (namely because Erikku Kunekari [Nyava's other adoptive father] had granted him the gift of immortality via a ritual from the Aevum Yoakumaen). In Nyava's will, he left Zsunia to Erica z Cervenliska, mother of Evzen (Nyava's vampiric brother), and grandmother of Antek.
Nyava would strike a deal with his god, Da Berry, soon after his death to ensure he could watch over his family; becoming House Lutum's guardian angel. He would quickly find a way to cheat this however, and things would more or less go back to normal. Nyava did this by using his Hallucinogenic blood to make it appear as if his body were normal; albeit, a bit more scarred. Later on, Bobree would bring Nyava back to life via Berrism, leading to Nyava turning him into a vampire and adopting him. Nyava would also turn Antek & his wife Azeliya into vampires, properly solidifying his vampiric genes and strengthening House Erikku (a house made up of not family connections, but vampiric ones). 
At some point, Fynx & Arbastor began to have a sort of (sometimes friendly) rivalry, switching between each other for who was sovereign house. There would even be a sort of mini war between them, in the War on Castrum Arbor. 
=== Fun Facts ===
House Lutum had their own personal "militia" of maids (made up of primarily male Mrau, made to protect the house, and function as servants. This 'Maid Militia' was made as a byproduct of Nyava's founding of the House Lutum Militia. Before this, House Lutum had regular personal servants, who were mainly gnomes. After the dissolution of the House Lutum Militia (HLM), the Maid Militia would be renamed to the HLMM (House Lutum's Maid Militia).
House Lutum has a family manor, which was designed and built by Sr. Presidente as a library, but later repurposed after one of his clients failed to pay him the required amount. The HL manor's interior would also be renovated by Nyava at some point afterwards.
Many fights have taken place at the House Lutum family manor, including the incredibly high tension situations between the Fynxs & Arbastors against the Eringards.
Nyava's room is completely filled with water, it should not be opened under most circumstances.
The House Lutum family manor has not only a small brewery in their basement, but also a spa, indoor pool, and dungeon.

=== The End of Eldham ===
During the comet years, Ledyn, helped the rest of the house members, would organize an escape plan for Lutum; airships to take them to the new world. They were fairly successful in this effort, but a lot of Lutumite culture would be forgotten over the generations in Skylos, later Mizlarai.
== The Branches ==
=== Fynx ===
a
=== Fynx of Port Lutum ===
The ruling family of Port Lutum has been the same since its formation. Hywell I is the ancestor of every ruler that came to power in Port Lutum except for a few cases. The house didn’t have that name since its beginnings since Hywell was a common folk and not a nobleman. Hywel II, his descendent, married into the Fynx Noble family of Lutum and created his own branch family, House Fynx of Port Lutum.

=== Arbastor ===
House Arbastor was the ancient royal house of the Gnomes during their arrival & conquest of Maddrak. It briefly came back once Clarky adopted Nyava, but it would go on to once again become part of House Lutum & the House Lutum Pact.
House Arbastor has had many mottos over their long lifespan, but the original was the following: "For Ag'leyth we conquer, for Ag'leyth we prosper"
The most current motto is: "Prosperity from Family, Builders of Lutum’s Future"
=== Erikku ===
House Erikku is a noble house entirely made up of Aevum Yoakumaen Vampires. It primarily ruled in the lands that Visio made up once, but was 
spread throughout Maddrak, mainly in Lutum & Swardia. It is said to be as ancient as the Dwarves, as vampires lived among them long ago.

=== Lu'Vein ===
In ancient times, in the heart of the city of Ravencross, the Lu'Vein family lived modestly. Although born without titles of nobility, the Lu'Vein were respected for their wisdom and mastery of magic. But their fate changed forever when the shadows of tyranny fell upon Ravencross.
The once prosperous city was oppressed by a cruel and power-hungry lord named Lord REDACTED. He ruled with an iron fist, imposing exorbitant taxes, reducing citizens' rights and sowing terror among the population. The Lu'Vein family, aware of the injustice that reigned, decided to rebel against this oppressive regime.
The Lu'Vein family possessed a rare and mystical gift, a deep connection with the god of darkness named Ilur. They were the keepers of ancient secrets and long-forgotten magical powers. Guided by their faith in Ilur, they began to gather other oppressed souls who shared their desire for freedom. Together, they formed a secret alliance in the shadows, ready to challenge Lord REDACTED.
The Lu'Vein family used their magic linked to Ilur to plan acts of resistance and to destabilize the reign of terror. Their dark spells shrouded the city in mystery, confusing the senses of Lord REDACTED and his men. They held secret meetings, distributed subversive leaflets, and inspired citizens to stand up against oppression.
The rebellion led by the Lu'Vein’s grew in strength and numbers over time. The city of Ravencross was soon plunged into chaos, with Lord REDACTED desperately fighting to regain control. The forces of Tyranny were weakened, while the alliance of the Lu'Vein and their allies gained ground.
Ultimately, after many bloody battles and sacrifices, the Lu'Vein family and their rebellion triumphed. Lord REDACTED was executed, and the tyranny ended. In recognition of their courage and leadership, the council of Ravencross granted the Lu'Vein family the title of nobility, elevating them to the new rulers of the city.
