=== Origins ===
The House of Soureine was an ancient bloodline dating back thousands of years ago, there is no clear distinction about how the Soureine's obtained sovereignity in the region of Rocol, however the Soureine family led most of the campaigns against Namidia Korlat, the founder of the Korlat dyansty in Yutemond.
The Soureine dynasty was mostly patriarchal and followed agnatic succession, until Aurelia was made an exception to this rule in around 733 BE. During the reign of Livia Korlat, Phillion of Soureine tenured as state consort till Livia's death.
== Extinction ==
In 755 BE, Livia Korlat was murdered by a group of rebellious senators in Yutemond's capital. The head of the house at the time was Aurelia de Soureine, she was a popular senator - however a pawn for her father's allies and only achieved her roles due to his popularity and the reputation of the Sourine dynasty overall amongst the people of Rocol.
Soon afterwards, Aurelius de Soureine also died and he was the only surviving male member. He was ripped to shreds by an angry mob.
