House an Averroii

An Averroii is a historical Lausarii house from Gebel, Theionikos. After the First Coalition War, the destiny of its members became associated with the Empire of Escharia, Currently, all nameholders of this family reside in western Nieden where they hold significant positions within their respective states. 
== History ==
=== Origins ===
The origin of house an Averroii finds its origins with a merchant Amearii family who, generations ago, abandoned the nomadic markets and decided to settled in the town of Gebel in order to sell its products, war weapons, directly. With the development of fire powder, their main customers became the Thaidian tribes and, eventually, the Audaladae.
=== War of the First Coalition ===
During the War of the First Coalition, Tiodl, then head of the family, pretexted a shortage to refuse selling gunpowder to the Audaladae armies and instead provided the Coalition. With this action, Tiodl was considered a niedene hero by the Escharian empire after generations of making money through conflicts. Soleannan Peace marked a short golden age for the family, which became a noble house recognized under the Empire: an Asteri name was adopted, "Averroii", which means power of firearms. The Coat of Arms, which used to casually represent a woman holding a torch, would be completed by a lion, symbol of Tiodl's heroism.
=== Split in two branches ===
However, after the Escharian Ascension and collapse of the Empire of Escharia the Averroii house was prohibited from indulging into weapons' trade. Its members decided to cease the use of the name in order to avoid persecution amid of the decline of niedenes in Yiummu-Audal.
The two sons of Tiold took different paths, While Motkrani would chose to adopt the Soleannen Pantheon and Arkhes as patron, Mansor deemed in that the Theiosist revelation, closer to their Lausarii traditions and not linked with the previous conflict.
=== Modern distribution ===
==== Varmerion branch (Motkrani) ====
The Varmerion branch is renowned for its intense escharian nationalism and high sense of Honor, especially towards the royal family of the Aesperii. Their Soleannen Patron is Akhres.
===== Amir =====
Around the formation of Astyllea and following a vision called the Tobinoran, Bel Amir migrated with a group of Lausarii to Aesperium Niedea where Kesefor Luci Aesperii commissioned them the building of a fort in the Orranderlost forest. Amir thus became Akesor (mayor) of Karannatia. From this castle, Amir conducted all sort of operations against bandits across the realm of Escharia and eventually climbed the social scale to the position of Ahrokan of Varmerion, biggest duchy in western Escharia. It is from this point that the Averroii family reclaimed its noble heritage. He his now High Counsellor in the Realm of Escharia.
===== Adekir =====
Adekir is also the Akesirro (deputy mayor) of Karannatia. He joined Amir in Karannatia afterwards since he was living a rather successful life across Yimmu-Audal. Following a rather joyful way of life, Adekir had many children but preferred to never acknowledge any one of them. Instead, he adopted Sabite, from modest Thaidian origin. He also proved itself to be a talented manager and set up the industries of Karannatia.
Severely injured at the battle of Karannatia during the Aksemesai, he now lives through faces of coma. 
===== Sabite =====
Sabite became the Akesor of Ekesttori west of Karannatia. Intense builder and trader, under her rule what originally was a satellite town of Ailstra became the biggest harbour in western Niedea. She is married to André Valios, the 2nd Akesirro of Amir, making house Valios a Minor Branch of house Averroii.
==== Mortem branch (Mansor) ====
===== Theodosius =====
Theodosius is the main representant of this branch. Also born and raised in Theionikos. His father, a Lausarii, followed the religions and traditions of Theiosism and that of the Lausarii people. During the persecution of the Niedenes in Yimmu-Audal, this branch also removed the Averoii name in hopes of escaping the persecution. Upon hearing gossips and suspicions of their neighbours that they were Niedene, his father decided to leave the nation and go across the border to what was then Escharia, more specifically in the Thadian territory. There they lived a humble life, often times in poverty, living essentially a peasant life. His father was a noble man, fighting for Escharia and then Simulami, although he was not very fond of Simulami he did it to protect his home of Mortem and the land that would then become Creed. Theodosius in his footsteps pursued the art of warfare, and had a close bond with his father, picking up on Lausarii and Theiosist traditions in the process. He is now Akesor of Mortem.
