Noble Families

## Nobles in Society

As it currently stands, Nobility in Omnia is a constantly fluctuating system of power and prestige, with Titles granted to Families by the Rulers of Omnia's various Kingdoms. The history of Nobility in Omnia is rife with the rise and fall of countless Families and their names - sometimes rebuilding from the ashes of failure, or otherwise being lost to history.

A handful of prolific Noble Families currently vie for power within their respective Kingdoms, with their influences spread across the world; stretching from Anned Mor in the deep south to The Mark in the bitter north. This Page serves to document the currently played and player-managed Noble Families on KeyCraft, with whom interaction is greatly encouraged!

## House Ivory-Rose

### Head of Family

Fenrus Ivory-Rose

House Ivory-Rose is a Noble House that currently makes its main income via their general merchant business, but mostly their intricate gemwork and jewelry as well as recently tailoring/fashion. They also follow a very lawful set of views. Originally run by Aldun Ivory-Rose during the height of their reign, they are currently thought to have lost some of their power after his murder and the subsequent estate fire, which killed an alarming amount of the family.

Twenty-one years later, the family is run by his son Fenrus Ivory-Rose, who’s trying to bring the family's former glory back. There is also currently a split within the family related to religion, with some practicing no religion or even rejecting it, and others being intrinsically tied to the faith of the Three Headed God, Trimedeism.

It’s often unknown what goes on behind the walls of the estate despite some of the family’s more gregarious and social members, tending to keep to themselves when it comes to privacy and a general neutrality on most other issues.

## House Fara

### Head of Family

Elora Fara

House Fara is a family of Laore-Tel who reside in the marshes of the Trinitarium. The Fara’s had built their noble status through that of a generational legacy of hunters and fighters, slaying monsters and the fears of their beloved people. Coin held no substance to the Fara name as all debts were made even through that of a slashing sword. For decades, children of this seemingly quiet family were raised upon the purpose of providing for the mushroom-clad city, weapons in hand from the age of their youth ‘til the doom of their death which, historically, would not lay too far ahead. With recent disputes and dismal goodbyes, the family has fallen into the hands of Elora Fara, inheriting such a right from her late nephew Calen Fara.

New leadership has led to that of a newly born era, one that has shifted the family’s skills to the far safer practice of medicine and alchemy in hopes of providing for their people without the loss of the new generation’s lives. Although it seems the family may very well be healing the wounds of their ties and are set on a much cleaner path bedridden of self-destruction, a dragging conflict of interest between them and that of their Laore brethren - especially with the opposing Trimedium’s beliefs - and the ideals of their ancestors remains daunting and true.

## House Ostentus

Contributions during Aegis War, Defending Blackhallows

### Head of Family

Cetero Ostentus

House Ostentus deals in magic and secrets that staked its livelihood in the lawless city of Blackhallows, not needing weapons to be deadly. Previously a notable family before Shesha's emergence, many died out with her arrival and with Shesha, the family's information on creating sorcery-infused artifacts.

Their mastery over the arcane was sought after by both the Synod of Verendell and the Nobility of Blackhallows. However, The family remains mostly apolitical, exposing itself from the shadows in dire events of history. The family steps out to donate the occasional information regarding sorcery that appears in the Archives of Verendell. They watched the rise and fall of the city throughout the last millennium, choosing to remain a symbol of peace between Verendell and Blackhallows after the Archon gave the human settlement back.

The family is a sword and shield for those intrigued by the arcane, offering hospitality to those who wish to pursue the same path. As the family returns from its time in the shadows, so does the desire to return to its once prosperous state before the Emergence of Shesha with magic by the Ostentus' side.

Pavo took over in recent years after her unfortunate death.

They often donate and hold charity events for Valoo, usually located at their art gallery in Grimrook.

The Pavos will often present themselves as regal as possible, trying to uphold their reputation with their community. However, after the change in head of house, the family has become more loose and rumors have begun to spread of how callous and informal they can actually be.

### Head of Family

Rev'iscera Serpentis

Within the city of Blackhallows, the family Serpentis is like a figure breathing down the back of your neck, ever watching and ever waiting for you to

make a move, so that your action can spur reaction and you'll be taken for all you're worth. Not very much is known about the personal past of the family, no one can seem to remember how things were before the family took over, because the family Serpentis seems to not even allow the city to imagine life without their hands in every pocket and their fingers in every pie.

Only two things seem concrete about the family to the city of Blackhallows. The first, that the Ring of Champions is the creation of the family Serpentis, and the weekly RoC Fight Club in many ways widely accepted to be their claim to fame. The second, that there are no biological binds within the family, giving way to a sense of twisted hope in some individuals that perhaps if they sold their souls the right way, dedicating their entire lives to kissing the ring of Rev'iscera, they *too* could join the family.

## House Drakur-Rauthi

### Head of Family

Munkh Drakur-Rauthi

The Drakur-Rauthi family is renowned throughout Omnia for their ships, which can be spotted sailing across the seas for various purposes. Whether in The Mark or the Twin Islands, the name Drakur-Rauthi is associated with reliability, innovation, and strength.

Though the Drakur-Rauthi family no longer commands a grand fleet of their own, their distinctive ships can still be seen mingling among those of fishermen and traders in the bustling ports of Tonnelund. However, it is more likely to encounter a member of the Drakur-Rauthi family at the shipyards rather than aboard a docked vessel. Their presence in this realm remains unwavering.

Within their own community, the family is seen as guardians of protection, as they continue to make substantial contributions to the Order of Huntsmen, located at the heart of modern day Tonnelund.
