## History

### Early history

HeroCrime was born in Nieden in the Duchy of Escharii in 1673 ASC. Not much is known about HeroCrime’s parents as they left for an hunting trip when he was very little and never returned, their fate is unknown. HeroCrime grew up in the village tribe, however his history doesn’t concern us until he turned 19, when he returned to Niedene under the invite of Isaris an Aesperii to Imperium Nation of Escharia, where he converted to Soleannen under cardinal Moz. That year was the centenary of the Ascension, to which all Soleannen members were invited, so HeroCrime went and participated in the event, even though he really didn't believe in the god and had converted for political reasons. After the prayers had ended, all of the other attendees went to a nearby town to party, HeroCrime stayed to admire the monument, staring at especially the large brazer in the middle. The blue flames danced, flichering, whispering their mysteries, mysteries that seemed to call to HeroCrime, putting him in trance. Before he knew it, HeroCrime found himself climbing the Ascension altar, walking into the flames, yet he did not burn, the flames instead whispered their mysteries to him, revealing to him visions of the god Solaris, and showing glimpses of HeroCrime's future, marking him for a great destiny with devotion to Soleannen. With these visions , HeroCrime prayed forgiveness to Solaris for his doubts, then sacrificed a gold block and his best horses and farm animals to the god, to thank him for the visions he had bestowed on HeroCrime. After that, HeroCrime gave up his heretical name, taking up his Niedene name: Eros, and founding the noble House of Crimarii.

Eros Crimarii served a while in Escharian politics, before being exiled by the illegitimate Emperess Veriss an Sylrei for siding with the western rebels. After the splitting of Escharia, Eros returned from his exile, and a little while after was gifted by his dear friend Aurelas an Aesperii the city of Celtenn, along with the broken down palace that came with it, which Eros renovated and made the seat of House Crimarii. He was then adopted in the Aesperii family by Isaris an Aesperii, gaining the name Eros an Aesperii-Crimarii. Around the same time Eros seceded from Bardonia with Celtenn and founded Errasterrei Egalii (Kingdom of Egalia), becoming it's first Akerei (King), gaining him the noble titles of: *Eros of House Crimarii and Aesperii, first of his name, Akerei of Errasterrei Egalii, Akesor and Duke of Celtenn, Descendant of the Ancients, Protector of the Realm and the Kingdom of Wheatonia.*

**End of the House:**

Eros officially ended the house when he decided that his descendants would only inherit the Aesperii name, making the Aesperii-Egalii branch, and ending House Crimarii, even though Eros carried the name till the end of his life.

### Sigil and motto

The sigil of House Crimarii is a black phoenix on a crimson field. The phoenix represents Eros’ in the world, as he had nothing but through his work became a nobleman and important politician in both Rathnir and Eldham, with a decent amount of wealth to his name.

The phoenix also represents the family motto: “Always rising”, cause like a phoenix, House Crimarii might find itself in ashes, but will always rise in power.

The phoenix is black symbolizing the west of Escharia, which has been traditionally represented with red and black, and where Eros' alliegencies lied at the beginning of his politcal career.
