House Hystrix

House Hystrix is a noble house of Daelyria, founded in Islerion during Mithra's fall. The family is composed of three members: Deskest Hystrix, his brother Ambrose Hystrix and adopted son Inko Hystrix. As with most other Daelyrian families, this house's roots can be traced back to ancient Daelyrian nobility through Deskest's father Miksa Silverhand, However, while this biological link exists, both the Hystrix and the Silverhands do not consider themselves part of the same bloodline.
== History ==
=== Origins ===
House Hystrix was first imagined on the first days of Deskest's time in Duskopion. As he saw the old Noble Houses of Daelyria, he became determined to form his own. However, this would take time to come to fruition, as he had been claimed as a Silverhand by blood, and would remain this way until disowning his family after the old rebellion. 
House Hystrix would then be formed at the very end of Mithra's days as an nation, unofficially formed in case the noble house system ceased to exist in the next phase of the nation's life. Fortunately this was not the case, and House Hystrix was added to the list of nobility in all later Helmian nations.
=== Ambrose Hystrix ===
Ambrose is a special case in house lineage, being a malevolent spirit that possessed Deskest's corpse for some time. This being embarked on many journeys across the land, becoming a famed monster hunter in his time. He then settled back in Islerion and became its de facto leader (although he'd never admit as such) as he managed its arriving citizens and brewery exports. After his death protecting the city, and his efforts to revive Deskest in a new body succeeded, he was added into the family tree as an honorary member, considered to be Deskest's brother.
=== Deskest Hystrix ===
Deskest's depiction in this family tree is the subject of much debate, as it would be accurate to place him both before and after Ambrose. After his ascension to Islerion Architect, he would use Ambrose's developments in the city as a scaffold to begin Islerion's transformation. Deskest would remain the house's patriarch for the duration of Islerion's prosperous days.
