Sun Dynasty

The Sun Dynasty refers to the mighty imperial houses of Humans that rule over the Empire of Sol Salmyra. Each member of the Sun Dynasty, called a Sunlord or a Sunlady, or simply Dawnborn, can trace their lineage back to the Dawn Empress.
The Sun Dynasty is comprised of 9 major lineages called the Dvija, which literally means "house of gold" in Bran Vaalar. Historically, there have been 17 major Dvija, but only 9 survive today.
==Blood Purity==
Blood purity is an important concept in the Sun Dynasty, which distinguishes Dawnborn princes from lowborn commoners. The higher the number of pure-blooded scions in a Dvija, the greater the standing of that Dvija is, for according to the Edict of Heaven in the Chantric Vedas, only the "gold-blooded" are destined to rule and maintain the peace all over the Cocoon, and deliver it to a new Age of Platinum.
This is the reason why incestuous relationships are considered as normal, and are sometimes even encouraged, to preserve the purity of blood. 
Foremost among what dictates blood purity is eye color. Those with purer blood tend to have sun-golden eyes. Pure-blooded scions are often said to be have the favor of Bran Vaal, and tend to have greater destinies in the Grand Design.
==The Princes of the Sun==
The life of a Sunlord is a paradox: it is full of grandiose and flamboyance, hedonism and decadence, yet it also demands great discipline, stern conviction, sense of duty and relentless pursuit of excellence. It emphasizes harmony over individualism, and upholding of righteousness and moral disposition to do good. Sunlords are held to very high standards in all aspects of life. They drill themselves toward perfection, settling for nothing less, for they believe themselves to be the defenders and rightful rulers of the Cocoon.
All Sunlords are expected to learn combat, either through martial arts, sorcery or traditional weaponry. In the eyes of the Empire, there is no such thing as "idle" and "fragile" Dawnborn. Weak Sunlords, regardless of gender, are considered to be a disgrace and are immediately disowned and disinherited by their family and Dvija.
