Tonia

The largest of the four sisters islands of The Bourden Isles, Tonia is known for its scenic sunsets, as well as political turmoil. Within the 15th century of Anno Viridi, Tonia saw the rule of three separate noble families, the Lièvremonts, the Marchants, and the Henleys.

==Trouble In Paradise==
Abraham Marchant, an extremely intelligent and eccentric inventor quickly rose to power on the island of Tonia, marrying the only heir to the island's previous noble family, the Lièvremonts. After a few years his wife passed, leaving him with three children. This didn't seem to slow down his inventing, nor did it slow down the family from gaining more members. Abraham had sixteen children with various consorts and while they never took the family name they were seen as very popular figures among the island of Tonia. He did not declare an heir until his final child was born, the only aasimar among the family. Abraham declared the young Isaac Marchant to be a gift from the gods, the one to lead them to a prophesized Kingdom of the Sun.Many of the older Marchant children grew bitter toward the young Isaac as their father focused all of his attention on him, entirely focused on training him to be the perfect soldier, the perfect heir, and most importantly, the perfect prophet.
==Henley Family Acquires Tonia==
After the subsequent failure of an experiment gone array by Abraham Marchant with a crafted pair of wings for his heir that resulted in the disappearance and believed to be death of Isaac Marchant, Abraham and the other Marchants became more erratic with their behavior. In an effort to quell a possible uprising, Queen Verna du Bellay made the decision to remove them from power with a show of force that far exceeded necessary means before quickly putting the Henley family in power.
The noble families of the other Four Sisters islands grew incredibly enraged by this decision and nearly sparked a war with the queen, the move also incredibly unpopular among the common people. Only the Aubelle family of Alestair supported the queen's decision.
