House Rochelle-Galus

House Rochelle-Galus makes up two of the most recognized and powerful families from two different Nations in Rathnir, the oldest Nation on Stoneworks Yimmu-Audal, and the ancient Archonate of Theionikos. House Rochelle has had a long history of supporting YA in military affairs, infrastructure, and its event celebrations. Yimmu-Audal has had multiple Emperors and political affiliates that are born from the Rochelle Dynasty which are recognized to be some of the most competent and wise leaders YA has had. One of which would be Centurion who was the longest lasting Emperor of YA and the founder of the Rochelle name. House Galus makes up most of the high authority and Archons of ancient Theionikos which found itself being made in the world of Rathnir. Archons Cirandir Galus and Bob Galus are the most known Archons with the Galus family name with many of their advisors being in the family. But the true story of House Rochelle-Galus begins with the man and founder, Hasdrubal Rochelle.
== History ==
=== Early history ===
Hasdrubal is the creator and builder of the old and now forgotten City of Mingrelia situated in the vast desert of Theiónikos near Aurion Bay. One day Hasdrubal was speaking to the crowds of Mingrelia when out of the of the side of his eye, he noticed a beautiful women with dark hair and stunning purple eyes in the crowd. After the crowds dispersed and his speech ended he walked up to the mysterious women and they started to speak. Their conversation would last for hours walking through the streets, both helping the citizens of Mingrelia. At this time Hasdrubal was the Ikari to the Archon Cirandir Galus being his close friend and advisor. Cirandir came by walking through the cities that he looked over and saw Dioni and Hasdrubal walking together. He called out to his cousin "Dioni! So nice to see you here, I see you and Hasdrubal have been getting along." Hasdrubal had no clue that Dioni was cousins with his leader and Archon but was glad to meet a women such as her with such a good family around her. Hasdrubal and Dioni would go on trips together traveling the world of Rathnir for many months. Eventually Hasdrubal would ask Dioni to marry him, and with a small gathering in the Temple of Theios located in Evangalista, Dioni with her father Roman Galus would walk the Ceremonial Dagger to Hasdrubal to seal the marriage which would bring House Rochelle and House Galus together as one. Hasdrubal and Dioni would have two baby boys Spartacus and Pothinus, and Hasdrubal would adopt a child named Mushen as well. 
=== Great Gladiator Revolt ===
The Great Gladiator Revolt involved Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus against his own father Hasdrubal. The Town of Mingrelia would hold many Gladiator events which would tend to bring in large crowds from many cities and nations around the world. The majority of fighters were slaves who would be captured during war times and conquest wars into barbaric tribes. Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus would from time to time fight in the pit of Mingrelia and would speak and befriend many of the slaves. Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus and Hasdrubal would argue and bicker from time to time with Spartacus wanting to let the slaves be free but Hasdrubal wouldn't stand for that until one day Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus had enough and freed many gladiator slaves from Mingrelia and stormed out of the gate resulting in the Great Gladiator Revolt. 
=== Murder of Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus ===
After the revolt would end Hasdrubal would end up passing away from old age. Leaving Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus the one in line to inherit his wealth and the City of Mingrelia. Spartacus Rochelle-Galus would marry a wonderful women named Ashei Luvire. Both would have a happy honeymoon and early marriage life, but when Hasdrubal, Spartacus father passed away, Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus would spend long hours days and nights, sitting in the Mingrelian Tower working with little interaction with the town and his own family which included his son Ishum. While Hasdrubal forgave his son and Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus forgave his father after the revolt many Mingrelians still had a bad distaste for Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus and felt he was just hiding away and not doing his duty as the town leader. During this time Ashei would leave without any announcement and would leave Ishum and his father to tend to the city. Spartacus Cam Rochelle-Galus for the first time in 4 months came down from the tower to come see the city. When a couple guards and city citizens would murder him in a assassination plot. This would leave young Ishum to tend to the city and run it with a iron fist.
=== Destruction of Rathnir ===
The world of Rathnir would find itself in a dark and gloomy state with the blue skies hidden by black and grey clouds and the water in the Oceans heating up like a boiling kettle of water. Ishum and his advisors would pray and pray to the god Theios but nothing would end up changing. He would write to his mother Ashei and ask her for advice, but the entire world had no answers each nation would pray to their own gods and even start praying to other gods just to see if that worked. The fish in the sea and Bay of Aurion started floating to the top due to extreme heat. This would cut off the main food source of Mingrelia. Meteors would start to fall and destroy the world, Ishum would yell for everyone to get to the triremes. A source from an advisor of his told him a new world was found far away which might bring a more peaceful and better place to escape the destruction of the world. While he was helping all his people into the boats he would run back and try and grab some memorabilia from the Tower when the tower was destroyed by a massive meteor fireball killing Ishum and leaving his son to lead the Voyage into this new found world. 
=== Arrival to Abexilas ===
Little is written and talked about with the Voyage but a few things are known. The voyage was hard and dangerous. Sea monsters, Starvation, and Plague was rampant through all ships. Ishums son Aretas lead the voyage into this new world. Aretas and most of the voyagers would curse Theioses name for letting the destruction of Rathnir happen through fiery meteors and boiling ocean water. The peoples of old Mingrelia would instead start to pray to the angels of Theiosism and would ask them to save their lives and protect them. Aretas wouldn't make it into the new world and would die from Sea Plague which would leave boils and red rashes all over your body. The son of Aretas, Surena Hasdrubal Rochelle-Galus who many believe is the reincarnation of the old founder of the family lineage, would finally be the first to set foot onto the new world of Abexilas.
Surena would start the City State of Rethia in the lands of Shurdal on the continent of Talasi. Surena would make many allies and try to bring people together in peace while fully supporting and backing his word on treaties. Rethia has expanded from being a city state to gaining a few nations to join Rethia in the hopes to keep everyone free and protected. Surena would marry a women names Decima Amabillia whom they would both have two children. Megalos and Gaius, both of these two full blooded sons of his would share many features of their mother and father. The City State of Thetens would also be ruled by the Rochelle-Galus who was the adopted son of Surena. Valerion would have the wisdom like his adopted father and is loved by all his people, Rethia keeps expanding and soon his sons will likely be in leadership roles in the City itself or a colony nearby Rethia. Possible wars are on the horizon one of which involves the old believers and followers of Theios. Who now call the angel praising followers Heretics.
