House Valgovan

House Valgovan is a noble house of Simulami located in the colonial region of the island, Stormgova. It is one of the newest and least powerful houses in Simulami, though the leader, Aleko Valgovan, has been rising in the ranks in Stormgova. House Valgovan was founded in the town of Zandia in about 15-17 years after the annexation of Stormgova by Simulami, this is still the centerpiece of the house and is incredibly important to the family.
The Valgovan family is known for its exceptional fishing knowledge and seafood, as much of their initial money was made off seafood. They are also known for being extremely loyal to each other and their history. Religion has always been a debate in the Valgovan house, as none are fully committed to any religion. Though many speculate that Aleko is interested in Soleviel. Though others say he is part of a newer, more unknown religion.
The Valgovan family had originally been founded under the idea that no one person should hold power in the house. Thus, there was an election every time the previous head died. While at first it worked out and was a great way for the house to work, it did not last long. The elections lasted for 13 years after the annexation of Stormgova, until after the election of Ante Valgovan when Andro Valgovan, Aleko's father, tried, and succeed, at overturning his older brother. Andro was known for his strong leadership and strict rules in the family. After he married Abril Melo, he gave birth to Aleko Valgovan, marking the start of the New/second Valgovan house. Just at the age of seven, both his parents were killed in a brutal bandit attack, leaving Aleko, his two year old brother, and his one year old sister. Aleko Valgovan eradicated quickly the election rule and made a more monarchial line of succession, while also building up Zandia to a strong town in the north.
