House Aerius

**House Aerius** is an elusive but remarkable noble house in Valenthia. Not much is known about them due to their extensive efforts of keeping their existence a great secret throughout history, but for those who knew, they are an extremely powerful house that eclipses the current Valen Army, even their past predecessors such as the mighty Golden Vanguard.

## History

### Origins

House Aerius was founded in 8000 PRE, the *Post Raven Era*, and its ancestors can be traced back to Genreve Aerius. Genreve, who was originally a Lantimorian, saw a lot of development that made their noble house incredibly powerful as they expanded over the centuries. In fact, they are thought to be the first noble house to exist, predating Valenthia's conquest in the most of continent Vahlorahn and the emergence of noble houses.

Since Genreve presumably, still unconfirmed, that he died of old age, his successors have largely been Panamoans and Valenthians. Some speculate that the noble house is related to the legendary Bale family of the surface world, which hails from the country known as the Panamoan Republic.

## Structure

House Aerius is a massive noble house with thousands of descendants descended from their ancestor, Genreve. They are mostly constituted of Valenthians, with some Lantimorians, the original citizens of the Panamoan Republic prior to the Panamoans in the current state of the surface world; Lantimorians and Panamoans are both outsiders belonging from the surface world. Because Aerius are heavily composed up of Valenthians, they settled their home in Valenthia via the hidden city of Tarakehn, which has a very favourable territory for their own house and kingdom to thrive for centuries.

### Culture

House Aerius' culture is based on a structured royal family, but with less limitations and exclusions than other Noble houses, making them perfect for adopted scions to comfortably live in their own lifestyle. This promotes equality and discourages prejudice in their family, which is a rare occurrence in recent era of Ceyraholt. Nonetheless, they have an immensely formidable army that is covertly but undeniably superior to any in Valenthian history.

**Scion** is the official word for all of their members, biological or adoptive.
