House Dawidson

== House Dawidson ==
House Dawidson is a noble house in the Razuni Sultanate. Rising in prominence following the Battle of Eldia, the Dawidsons became the head of the Sylfaeist faith after the Ascension of Ad'onís Boltoph, subsequently ruling over the Library-Temple of Sylfaen's Sanctuary as well as the province of Sylfaethel. 
=== Symbol ===
The emblem of House Dawidson is the Sylfaeist Ankh, symbolizing the family's strong ties to Sylfaeism. To some, differentiating between the Sylfaeist Ankh and the Dawidson Ankh is either too difficult, or too unimportant
== Origins ==
=== Biblical roots ===
The modern-day Dawidson house has confirmed lineage going back all the way to the Dawidic Dynasty of The Sil-Fay Empire. The Dawidic Dynasty were the first to accept Sylfae's message and spread the faith across the empire. 
The Dawidic Kings, in their now-lost capital of Eldium, had many consorts throughout their lives. One of these consorts was a lady named Alaiyna Tala'shel, whose marriage to King Ereik Dawid would connect both houses together by blood. Alaiyna's brother, Elam Tala'shel, would continue passing down the family name to his only daughter Rachel.
During the reign of King Bethel Dawid, a purge of anything Sylfaeist-related swept through the empire, as temples were torn down and books burned. Because she was worried of being the plot of an assassination by the paranoid King, Rachel gave up her name and, with her husband Abrahm, came up with a new family name to hide their identity - Abrahmas. Rachel and Abrahm would have a son, Esther Abrahmas, who would survive after the collapse of the Sil-Fay Empire.
=== Exodus and resettlement ===
The Abrahmas family would continue to persist up to the Sylfaeist Exodus to Eldia, under the new family patriarch Eliades Abrahmas. During the journey to Eldia, Eliades had two sons (Moche and Salan) and one daughter (Tariya). Once settled in Eldia, Salan began trying to figure out the origins of his family, and where they came from. This question would persist for generations, with each one getting closer and closer to uncovering the origins. 
=== Modern day ===
The deaths of Mishral and Y'indo Abrahmas during the Battle of Eldia almost wiped out all progress that was made. However, due to Y'indo's wife Anastias all of the family's records were hidden away. Anastias' son, Benjamin, discovered these records and, alongside his mother, rediscovered their connection to the ancient Dawidic Dynasty. To celebrate this, Benjamin changed his name from Abrahmas to Dawidson, and proclaimed the Dawidson noble house.
