Galderon Family

The Galderon family is a noble family from southeastern Karninia, first coming into prominence as knights during the Sanassian Conquest which destroyed the First Empire of Trynser. As knights, they opposed King Jirgen's selling out Manebia to the Sanassians, and angered by the treachery, Sir Johann Galderon rode his king down in a joust, killing him. Several generations later, the family had been elevated to dukedom, and Duke Roderick Galderon assembled an army to run the Sanassians out of Trynser and founded and was crowned Emperor of the Second Empire of Trynser. Six soveriegns later, Empress Jessica married Duke Roderick Batanian, ending the First Galderon Dynasty. Two hundred and forty years later, Duke General Artemius Galderon expelled the weak Imperial Regency government and retook the Orichalcum Throne as Emperor Artemius VI for the Second Galderon Dynasty.
The Trynsern Imperial Family is but one part of the Galderons, who remain very influencial in Karninia as well as in Trynser City. In addition, as the Imperial Prince of Micoöm and the Archduke of Delternas is traditionally the eldest son and the younger brother of the Emperor respectively, the Galderons hold those realms as well.
