House of de Aurmi

The House of de Aurmi is a Xinerian noble family currently active in Xineria and Wessia-Khasel. 
== History ==
=== Kingdom of Kuro ===
During the Kingdom Era, King Jakrio I faced a crisis in which multiple lords began to challenge his House's (the House of Majéro) legitimacy. In order to assert his legitimacy, he had an expert genealogist trace back his lineage to any sort of major figure he could. He eventually found that he was a direct descendant of St. Aurmi, legitimizing his status as King. 
In order to solidify his legitimacy, he changed the name of the royal house to "de Aurmi", which means "the Aurmian" in Kurian.
It remained the official royal house of Kuro until its fall and the rise of the Junta of Kuro.
=== Junta of Kuro ===
During the Junta Era, all members of the House were prohibited from holding any sort of office or title. However, the House continued living on and members referred to each other with their unofficial noble titles. The Head of the House was addressed as "Prince-Regent" or "Princess-Regent", and the individual members were addressed as "Lord" or "Lady".
=== Xinerian Empire ===
During the Colonial Era, the House's titles were recognized by the Xinerian Imperial Government and considered minor nobility within the Empire. However, control of the island of Kuro was not given back to them, though many members would reach prominent offices in the Kurian military government.
=== First Confederation of Xineria ===
During the First Confederation, the House was recognized as an official family, though was not given any titles due to the Confederation being a democracy. Many members, especially Inasis and Jakrio de Aurmi, were quite active in the democratic institutions and even wrote the constitution.
=== Second Confederation of Xineria ===
During the Second Confederation, the House continued to exist, though in a more obscure status.
Around this time, however, members of the House of de Aurmi's cadet branch, the House of de Leonoran, began marrying members of the Arcaeli House of Jakenstein, creating a cadet branch within Wessia-Khasel called the House of Jakenstein-Leonoran.
=== Xibeenia ===
Buring the Bee Era, the House was almost fully suppressed.
=== Third Confederation of Xineria ===
After the Xinerian Restoration, the House remains an unofficial house within Xineria and a full-fledged house of nobility, active in Imperial politics, within Arcael.
== Branches ==
=== House of de Leonoran (formerly) ===
The House of de Leonoran was created when Horatio de Aurmi, father of Jakrio, Inasis, and Isabel de Aurmi and Head of the House at the time, discovered he had a long-lost brother named Majéro de Leonoran. Majéro had a family of his own, and Horatio did not want to make them all have to adopt a new last name, so he recognized the de Leonorans as an official cadet branch of the House.
=== House of Jakenstein-Leonoran ===
The House of Jakenstein was a Wessian noble house originating in the Midjorsk people of Soolia. When members of the House of Leonoran moved to Abexilas, Jakensteins and de Leonorans began to intermarry, eventually merging to form the House of Jakenstein-Leonoran, of which all current members of the House of de Aurmi hail from.
Its coat-of-arms is a mix of the old arms of de Leonoran and the coat-of-arms of Jakenstein (the mounted knight on the white background).
