## Ancient History

### *The Golden Era*

House Illsures was founded ages ago in a faraway land, the Illsures succeeded the Astar Empire after Kibar Illsures and a ring of soldiers mass assassinated the entire Astar Bloodline ending the rule and killing off all successors and traces of royal blood. Kibar Illsures would be recognized as the Lord of this new Empire which was renamed into House Illsures after Kibar's bloodline. The Illsures were a nomadic family, and where constantly on the move. However after they succeeded the Astar Empire they settled down into the plains where they would build magnificent creations of art, and learn to channel their art into Illusions and trickery. This era would be known as the Golden Era of House Illsures.

### *The Era of Descent*

Unfortunately, the Golden Era fell short and Kibar fell ill. The best healers of the House were unable to save Kibar from his impending demise. Kibar knowing this made a public statement to the house stating he has fallen ill and he will select a Heir. Later that day Kibar was found dead from multiple stab wounds before he was able to assign a Heir. Due to this, the Council of the House searched the entire Village for a worthy Heir or someone with a drop of the Late Lord's blood. This will be known as the Era of Descent. The Council would grow reckless fighting over eachother with no one to spearhead the council they grew corrupt and distal. One of Kibar's personal Knights stepped up though and confessed he had the blood of Kibar, and was his half-brother.

Surprised and unbelieving, the council dismissed the individual known as Daemor Tyral taking his mother's last name. Daemor would later change his name to Daemor Illsures and would force the Council to submission, by storming the Council chambers and holding them hostage until they all swore fealty to Daemor. After rightfully assuming the throne Daemor would go on to his late 70s ruling the empire with an iron fist. Referred to as Lord Daemor Illsures the False. A title was given to him due to his unorthodox assumption of the Crown.

### *The Shatter*

Not much is known after Daemor's ruling, he was said to have died of complications in his elder life. Sometime here for some unknown reason, the House Illsures found itself without an Heir and shattered with only 10% of the remaining population loyal to Illsures name. The Late Lord Daemon Illsures, Chancellor, Jen Ricken assumed the title of Lord in the name of Illsures in an attempt to hold the throne until they could locate a suitable heir. This was known as the Shatter. The remaining Illsures went back to their ancient nomadic ways, traveling cross the world. Eventually, a Heir to the House was selected among the Illsures.

## Modern History

### *A New Land*

House Illsures embracing their nomadic ways was only now made up of a few members. Lady Hela Illsures, along with Dame Audria Illsures, and High Honorable Kor'ats Illsures would be the ones who found themselves in charge of the remaining bits of the House. Kor'ats in the attempt to find a new land for Illsures to settle on and to break the endless cycle as Nomads departed into the wilderness alone. Kor'ats would arrive on the Island of Vina discovering an isolated war-torn land, rich with resources, and culture. While building a miniature shelter out of what appeared to be an outpost he was confronted by House Dresari. Enlightened by their ways he sought to learn about their culture. Kor'ats would go on to serve Sol, and eventually succeed Contrax and ascend to the title of Soles Vicario of the Church of Sol. He would eventually report back to the survivors of the House and to his Sister Hela, where he would tell the joys of this new land and his new belief. He would preach to them of Sol, and then House Illsures arrived to Settlers of Vina.

### *The Southern Petty Alliance*

After King Devon Dresari was poisoned by an unnamed Igsum soldier, the world spread to chaos. House Morathal offered a way out of that. As such Lady Hela seeing this she took the deal from her ally. However House Brightroar had the same deal, and unfortunately, Hela was split. A war was imminent causing a split in the Church and as such, Hela met with the proclaimed Duke Damon Brightroar and the Duke made their demands. Swear Neutrality or Fealty to Brightroar or be met with force. To stop the imminent bloodshed and as advised by her brother and closest advisor Kor'ats Illsures, she took the deal and swore Neutrality in the events to come, pledging loyalty to the victor. Morathal would go on to surrender and Hela would swear fealty to the now Grand Prince, Damon Brightroar.

#### *Independence*

After multiple sleepless nights, and visions from Sol. Lady Hela Illsures, was growing weary of House Brightroar the current Overlords to Illsures. They where becoming increasingly powerful with no checks, and seemingly the entire South was on their side. Hela declared herself an OathBreaker and broke off with House Morathal becoming independent due to their lack of security and them murdering her Squires while Illsures was linked. Causing a cascade effect of Houses leaving Brightroar with less of the South's support. Hela declared support to House Morathal established themselves, and continued to construct their keep. Unannounced House Brightroar stormed Ravendor Keep capturing The Lady, and killing her two Squires in cold blood in front of Hela. She was bought out and returned to House Illsures, but this marked the first of many wars to come.

### *Barony of the Misty Woods*

When Stoneheart's leader the Baron of the Misty Foods, mysteriously vanished, Lady Hela Illsures, was the first to step up in his shoes and assume control of the Woods, with no objection from the other residents of the Woods, naming herself the Baroness of the Misty Woods, insuring fair oversight over the sacred Woods, and protection to the Houses within the Woods.
