Lavinia Impera

Lavinia Aventen Imperiana *Cipritines* ("of Cipritine") was the eldest daughter of Atrin Impera, the founder and first *Imperatrix* ("Empress") of the turian Bronze Age's continent-spanning Nialin Empire. She was also the wife of Tarcus Aventen, famed tactician-philosopher and statesman of Palalvenian antiquity, who ruled over Cipritine's rival city-state of Albion (later renamed Aventinus in his honour). Despite the marriage being a political entity, and her husband 20 years her senior, Lavinia and Tarcus were deeply in love with one another. They had several children together, whose descendants ruled Aventinus for the next two centuries, until its eventual betrayal and annexation by Cipritine.

Tarcus predeceased his wife, leaving her a widow at the age of 30. As an act of remembrance for her beloved soulmate, Lavinia commissioned several hundred copies of his works, which she had distributed across both Aventinus and her late mother's empire, in the hopes it would keep his spirit alive in the afterlife so that she might be reunited with him in death. It is thanks to her actions that the majority of his literary masterpieces have survived into the modern era. Despite her older brother's best efforts to sell her on the marriage market for political advantage, Lavinia refused to acquiesce to his demands, choosing instead to remain in Aventinus to assist her eldest child in the governing of her late husband's domain. In addition to her matrimonial hood, she is said to have worn an onyx and agate cameo of Tarcus' likeness for the rest of her life.

Lavinia outlived her husband by 18 years. She was reunited with him in death, being laid to rest beside him within the Aventinian Necropolis. Their tomb still stands within the necropolis' ancient quarter, although it was damaged substantially during the Reaper War. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the entirety of the burial chamber's painted ceiling - one of the best-preserved examples of turian Bronze Age artwork on Palaven - had been lost. The ceiling's collapse had also compromised the structural integrity of Tarcus and Lavinia's shared sarcophagus, although thankfully their bodies had not been destroyed (due in large part to the mass effect field generators and shielding that House Aventen had installed several centuries earlier). House Aventen would spend a small fortune in credits having the tomb restored to its former glory using traditional building techniques.
Trebia Abrudas

Trebia Abrudas Mirina was the daughter of Aurelion "Auri" Abrudas and his wife, Elissa Miras. She had an older brother called Septonian Abrudas. She was the granddaughter of Markus Abrudas, the first Primarch of Carthaan, and the great-granddaughter of Aurelion Aurelos, the Last Imperator of the turian empire. It is through her that the so-called "Good Abrudases" are descended.
Wang Jinghong

Zheng He / Heleus Cluster

Wang Jinghong is the second planet from the star Zheng He, located within the Heleus Cluster. Wang Jinghong is named for the Ming dynasty Chinese mariner, explorer, diplomat and fleet admiral of the same name, who served as deputy to Admiral Zheng He (for whom the star system is named).

In the early days of the Andromeda Initiative, back when the planet was still known by its scientific name "H-599", colonial surveyors from the neighbouring Nexus space station would use Wang Jinghong as a rendezvous point for their shuttles, the planet's distinctive ring system acting as a familiar landmark in an otherwise alien system.

Numerous shuttles were either damaged or destroyed by the Scourge during these ill-fated voyages, the first of which was the AIV Caryatid, whose crew complement of five were all killed when the Scourge ruptured the shuttle's hull. The remains of Nexus shuttles which met similar fates (and were too badly damaged to be salvaged) are still visible from orbit.

As such, Nexus pilots still use the term "a 99 run" as an idiom for a short journey fraught with numerous hazards.
Claudia Victus

Claudia Victus Sparatina is the youngest child and only daughter of Malkum Victus and his wife, Alia Sparatus. She is the younger sister of Aren Victus. As her parent's second child, Claudia was raised for a life of spiritual service to the dead under the tutelage of Justinien Victus, her beloved first cousin once removed. At age 18, she was formally invested into the Bostran priesthood and surrendered her house name of Victus as part of her sacred vows.

At 62, following his death in 2312 CE, she took Justinien's place as the *Vox Maiorum* of House Victus, using the skills which he had taught her to embalm his body and deliver him safely into the afterlife. She is currently training her own protégé, Gidion Victus, to one day succeed her.

Claudia was named in memory of her paternal second cousin, Claudius Victus, who was tortured and exiled from the empire after trying to assassinate Antraxes Mehrkuri, forcing him to seek political asylum in the Andromeda galaxy alongside the remnants of House Arterius. As she was born in 2250 CE, Claudia never knew her namesake, who had left the Milky Way in 2227 CE, 23 years before her birth. Despite this, she considers him a hero of her family and keeps a small painted bust of him on her desk to remind herself to live up to his example.

Claudia is close friends with her paternal first cousin, Adriana Victus.

Doshal Grenak

Doshal Grenak was the Battlemaster of Clan Doshal, a small clan of krogan living on their homeworld of Tuchanka.  Grenak gained access to sensitive Hierarchy intelligence, and was using it to advance a potential rebellion against the turians.  A group of Blackwatch soldiers were dispatched to deal with the situation.

The last remaining soldier, Antraxes Mehrkuri, slew him, but not after a long and arduous fight.

He is survived by his one child, a daughter, and now the only remaining member of the clan.
Regnaltus Fedorian I

Notes:

* Regnaltus served as duarch to his predecessor, Primarch Enterus, for almost two decades. Upon Enterus' death, Regnaltus was proclaimed Primach of Palaven and ruler of the Aurelian Empire.
* Regnaltus and his previous wife did not get on at all. By the end of it, they both despised each other and their relationship was very volatile.
* Regnaltus' wife was unfaithful to him as a result of their dysfunctional marriage. The children she passed off as his own were, in fact, the children of her lover. Enraged at the deception, Regnaultus beat her, divorced her and stripped her children of the Fedorian name. He refused to have contact with the children, despite their innocence in the situation. The whole affair was a national scandal that took the headlines by storm.
* This, combined with the neglect Regnaltus suffered as a child at the hands of his mother, and the excessively critical attitude towards him from his grandmother, gave him a very toxic opinion of women in general.
* Regnaltus' two "children", Aetia and Pairrus, had no connection to their "father" following their parents' divorce, although both wished to have some kind of relationship with him again. For the early part of their lives, they too believed they were really his children.
* To reduce the tarnishing of his primarch's office, Regnaltus went on tour to the Traverse colonies of the empire, fighting pirates and strengthening the Hierarchy's borders to restore faith in Enterus' leadership, a move that earned him much empathy and support from within the empire.

Gaius Victus

* "Gai" by his family (vocative case of High Cipritine, used when spoken directly to)

### Father

Fidellion Victus

Gaius Victus Abrudinus is the youngest child of Primarch Fidellion Victus by his second wife, Marcia Abrudas. He is named in honour of his maternal grandfather, Gaius Abrudas, who was a victim of The Night of Martyrs. He has three siblings and one half-brother; Keirix, Adriana, Irixia and Sairus. Like his three full-blood siblings, Gaius is a *porphyrogenitus*, meaning he was born after his father was anointed as Primarch of Palaven. Gaius was born prematurely and has cerebral palsy, a developmental disability which impedes his motor functions, speech, and ability to process external stimuli. As such, he cannot serve in the turian military to earn his citizenship - a fact which greatly distresses him.

Metellus, the High Priest of Palaven, attempted to mentor Gaius, teaching the boy that martial strength was not the only means by which to measure a person's character and encouraging him to focus on what he could do rather that what he could not. Gaius struggled to accept his lessons as he was still unable to accept himself for who he was. Despite this, he still very much enjoys Metellus' company and spends a lot of time with him, having come to view him as something akin to a grandfather.

## Trivia

### Character colour palette

* **Plate Colour:** Ash #C4C5B7
* **Skin Colour:** Natural Grey #8B8680
* **Eye Colour:** Cool Blue #4984B8
* **Markings Colour:** None; barefaced (never graduated from Bootcamp, due to his developmental disabilities)

#### Colour genetics

Gaius was named for his maternal grandfather, Gaius Abrudas, with whom he shares a similar plate colouration. However, while his grandfather and his mother, Marcia Abrudas, possessed the hallmark silver plates of the Abrudas bloodline, passed down through the millennia from his ancestor, Markus Abrudas, Gaius' are more matt and, in certain lights, appear to exhibit a very subtle light brown sheen - a unique trait that was likely influenced by the DNA of his father, Fidellion Victus. He inherited his skin colour from his mother, who in turn had inherited it from Markus; Gaius' older sister, Adriana, possesses this same skin colour as him. Like Keirix and Adriana, the eldest of his full-blood siblings, Gaius inherited his blue eyes from both his parents, his eyes being lighter than her father's but darker than her mother's. His father had inherited his blue eyes from his paternal grandmother, Saira Caesonia, while his mother had inherited hers from Markus.
Libro del nigromante

El libro del nigromante es un tomo de cuero negro escrito en Infernal. Sus hojas son viejas, y las palabras en su interior parecen estar escritas en sangre ya hace años seca.

El 7 de Innios del año 641 d.V., Devionne LeClair lideró una expedición hacia la Torre del Cruce, donde un nigromante habitaba. Luego de derrotar a los muertos vivientes y al mago impío, el equipo dejó en manos de Davni a su tomo de hechizos, quien realizó una traducción una vez volvió a Sanctuaire.

Una vez Davni realizó la traducción, permitió al tiefling Azgar o'r Arreat realizar una segunda lectura del mismo, puesto que él era conocedor también del idioma infernal. Esta lectura le permitió descubrir un detalle en una de las hojas; un pequeño fragmento de texto escrito con tinta invisible, apenas perceptible a contraluz. La frase leía:

"𝖇𝖊𝖜𝖆𝖗𝖊 𝖓𝖆𝖟𝖍𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖘, 𝖜𝖍𝖔 𝖘𝖑𝖊𝖊𝖕𝖘 𝖓𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖍"
La relevancia de la frase aún es debatida entre los bibliotecarios y aventureros interesados.

Sanves

Sanves is an Asari colony under the jurisdiction of the Asari Republic of Ulee. Founded in 544 BCE, it was the second planet to be colonised by the Asari after their discovery of FTL technology. The hospitable nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, temperate-climate, and sprawling wilderness makes the planet a popular tourist destination. The large tracks of untamed forest surrounding the capital of Etheai draw in millions of sightseers, big game hunters, and biologists per annum. The Asari, mindful of how rapid expansion has damaged the ecologies of other planets, have implemented strict environmental legislation to help preserve Sanves’ unique biosphere.

## The Mother's Star

In 2185 CE, the largest natural gemstone-cut diamond in the galaxy was discovered on Sanves by a coalition of Asari geologists. Weighing in at an incredible 2,105 carats, “The Mother’s Star” was declared a sacred relic of the Siari religion by the Atamna - a conclave of the most senior high priestesses in all Asari Space. As an expression of unity and religious cooperation, the diamond underwent a galactic tour to be blessed by all the major religious leaders of Council Space. Among those who blessed the stone were Pope Leo XIV of Earth’s Catholic Church; Sounaril All-Bright Olos X of Khaje’s Manas faith; and Archon Numidia Aurelos, the high priestess of Palaven. It was then returned to Thessia were, after receiving an incantation from the Atamna, it was placed in the crown jewel collection of the Republic of Ulee, which is kept on public display.

## Reaper War

In 2186 CE, Sanves was invaded by Reaper forces. After destroying the colony’s meagre navy and anti-air defences, the Reapers landed converted infantry units with the goal of subjugating the local population, while Destroyers kept watch for Asari reinforcements from orbit. Heavily outnumbered, Sanves’ population was forced to abandon their homes and retreat deep into the forests, fighting a bloody guerrilla war amongst the trees. Pre-invasion population estimates tag Sanves’ population as approximately 975 million; in the aftermath of the war, fewer than 679 million survivors remain, with approximately 296 million people listed as either dead or missing.

Today, Sanves is still rebuilding. Total reconstruction of the colony is estimated to be completed in just under a decade’s time but, with the aid of the Salarian Union, the Asari are finally beginning to reclaim their world. A war memorial was erected in Etheai shortly after the capital had been rebuilt, which lists the names of the deceased. The memorial was unveiled to the public by Councillor Tevos, Matriarch Lidanya, and Doctor Liara T’Soni, during the Destiny Ascension’s post-war tour of Asari Space.

Every day during the changing of Sanves’ Ulee Guard, a three minute silence is observed for those who lost their lives during the invasion, followed by a rendition of the Asari Republics’ anthem. Here the flags of Sanves, Ulee, the Asari Republics and the Citadel are always flown at half-mast out of respect for the dead.
Pireius Lokarion

Pireius Arterius Lokarianus (born Pireius Lokarion) is the husband of Desola Arterius. While initially resentful of being forced to take her Arterius name, given their two families' rocky history, he eventually found common ground with his wife, growing to respect her as a soldier and value her political insight. Over time that newfound respect slowly evolved into a strong friendship. When the pair lost their child, Pireius helped Desola through her grief by encouraging the pair of them to cathartically vent their pain to one another. Pireius' intervention ensured that Desola could remain in the air force, as her volatile behaviour was threatening her position within its ranks.

Pireius himself served in the Thracian Colonial Army as a shatha rider, specialising in the Thracian style which utilises hand reins, light armour, and ambush and skirmish tactics, as opposed to the Palavenian style of foot reins, heavy armour, VI-assisted artillery and cavalry charge maneuverers. From the age of sixteen he had been paired with a female shatha, whom he successfully hatched from her egg as part of his training. He named her Venoria and the pair of them were inseparable. Pireius was an accomplished rider who excelled in his unit, having been up for promotional review, but when he married Desola he was forced to transfer to Palaven and join the Dromaeo-Cataphrax Regiment. He insisted on taking Venoria with him, rather than train a new mount, unable to bear the thought of living her behind.

In his new unit, Pireius stagnated as he struggled to adapt to the Palavenian style of riding. Venoria also struggled, having been raised specifically to fight in the Thracian style. The pair's mutual struggle fed into Pireius' resentment of his new wife, who he blamed for taking him away from his life and military career on Thracia. These negative feelings towards Desola naturally influenced Venoria, who would react with extreme aggression to Desola's presence. Only Pireius' commands would stop her from actually harming his wife.

After months of failure and ridicule from the rest of his unit, Pireius' commanding officer got involved. He gave him one final ultimatum - hatch a new mount or leave the unit. Pireius, enraged, argued that his and Venoria's fighting style as a part of his Thracian heritage, which was protected under Aurelian law. While his CO agreed that his right to colonial expression was indeed protected, he stated that legal protection did not extend to factors which impeded his ability to perform his duties. While Pireius, in time, would adapt, Veronia could not, having been bred for a very specific purpose; she was the reason Pireius wasn't reaching his full potential in his new unit. When asked again what his decisions was, Pireius demanded that he be discharged with immediate affect.

Desola covertly attempted to help Pireius adapt to his new unit by turning to her younger brother, Fidellion Arterius. Fidellion was a shatha rider himself and, at his sister's request, attempted to teach his new brother-in-law the Palavenian techniques.
Council of Clerics

The Council of Clerics is the conclave of the Aurelian Empire's high priests and priestesses. Each cleric represents a colonisation cluster, acting as their spiritual leader and the religious counterpart to the ruling Primarchs. Originally consisting of eight clerics - representing Palaven and its seven original extrasolar colonies - the number of clerics has continued to grow as the empire has expanded. The current number of clerics on the council is twenty-eight.

Like all members of the priesthood, high priests and priestesses are forbidden to marry and have children, and all of them have surrendered their family names upon their induction as a show of faith. While on paper their sphere of influence lies entirely within religious matters, in reality, the clerics hold a lot of political power, their ability to influence the collective consciousness of the faithful being a particularly useful tool for control. As such, many Primarchs attempt to win their homeworld's cleric to their cause, to strengthen and further legitimise their reigns.

Euphemien Victus

Euphemien Victus Caelinus is the eldest child of Irixia Victus and her husband, Kiron Caelax. He has a younger brother named Gidion Victus and a younger sister named Iacoba Victus. Through his maternal line, Euphemien is the grandson of *Primarch* Fidellion Victus of Palaven and a descendant of Aurelion *Imperator*. Through his paternal line, he is the grandson of *Primarch* Menelus Caelax of Macedyn. As the legitimate grandchild of two *primarchs*, he was entitled to wear purple from birth.

Euphemien was named by his mother in memory of his grandmother, Euphemia Caelax, who was murdered alongside his grandfather, Gaius Abrudas, on the orders of *Primarch* Astraea Mehrkuri of Digeris during the Night of Martyrs, for supporting the rule of *Primarch* Desolas Arterius II.
Primarch of Palaven

The *Primarch* of Palaven is the ruler of the planet Palaven and, by extension, the rest of the Aurelian Empire. It is the highest rank in the empire and requires decades of military service for a candidate to even be considered eligible. Unlike other alien heads of state, turian *primarchs* are effectively warrior emperors who have earned the right to rule through supreme merit. The office was created by Aurelion Aurelos, the Last *Imperator*, after he changed imperial succession laws to end the Right of Blood and replace it with the Right of Merit. Following Aurelion's death, Pallix Arterius, his adoptive son, succeeded him as the first *Primarch* of Palaven.

Achaea Corinthus

Achaea Corinthus was the daughter of Menaia Corinthus and the granddaughter of Achaeus Corinthus, whom she was named after. She was the wife of Desolas Arterius III, with whom she had four children; Desola Arterius, Fidellion Arterius, Selena Arterius and Achaea Arterius. She died in childbirth after giving birth to her youngest daughter, Achaea. Her death is said to have hit Desolas very hard.

Achaea was only ten years of age when her maternal grandfather died. Despite her young age at the time of his death, she retains some fond memories of him, specifically him playing with her and telling her war stories from his time as a mounted cavalry solder. During his funeral, Achaea presented one of her wooden shatha toys, which her grandfather had carved for her when she was still a chick, as an offering to his departed spirit; it was placed in his tomb beside him, alongside the offerings of her relatives. In his memory, Achaea devoted herself to becoming a shatha rider.

Achaea rode a male shatha named Aethus, who was a descendant of Achaeus' prized mount, Aethon. When Achaea died in childbirth, Aethus became inconsolable, refusing to eat and bellowing mournfully for her each dawn. Seeing himself reflected in the broken creature's grief, Achaea's husband, Desolas, spent a lot of time grieving with him. When it became clear that Aethus' refusal to eat was endangering his health, Desolas sought immediate veterinary intervention. Aethus was put on intravenous fluids and an energy intensive liquid diet but quickly started to deteriorate. Knowing that he would not recover, Desolas made the hard decision to have Aethus humanely euthanised. However, rather than let a vet do so, he chose to do the deed himself, taking Aethus home so that he could die peacefully in the familiar surroundings of his stable, out of respect for his late wife.
Teresa Kandros

Teresa Kandros was the daughter and eldest child of Admiral Ravis Kandros, and the older sister of Tiran Kandros. She was married to Gaius Abrudas with whom she had a son, named Gidion Abrudas. She and Gidion were killed in a head-on skycar collision.

When Teresa disgraced her family name by choosing to become a sculptor rather than a soldier, it caused quite a stir among Palaven's military elite. While she was still welcome at formal gatherings, she was largely ignored by her parents, who gave her the cold shoulder at such events. Gaius, feeling pity for her, would socialise with her to make her feel like less of a social pariah. The pair had been familiar with since childhood, having been raised within the same social circle, but grew to be good friends, sharing the insecurities of their lineages with one another.

Seeing an opportunity to restore at least some of her family's image, Ravis would later approach Gaius to ask whether he would consider marrying her daughter. Gaius initially refused her offer but, after consulting with Teresa herself, agreed to the match. The pair were married in the summer of 2191 CE in Cipritine. Four years later, their son Gidion would be born. Gaius continued to support his wife in her sculpting career, much to her family's chagrin. Their family was a tight-knit unit, built upon two parents' devotion to their only child.

In 2213 CE, however, tragedy struck. While on shore leave, Gidion was taking his mother out for lunch when his skycar was struck in a head-on collision by a military police interceptor, which was involved in a high-speed pursuit. Both he and Teresa were killed in the crash. When the news reached him, Gaius was inconsolable. He received an official apology and reparations from the Palavenean Military Police, as well as a letter of condolence from Primarch Adrien Victus, written in his own hand.
Cassian Arterius

Cassian Arterius Kryinus (High Cipritine: [kʰasˈsiː.an aːrtʰɛrˈiː.ʊs]) is the third child of Desolas Arterius II and Nihlus Kryik, and the father of Nihla Arterius. He served as a cybercrimes officer in C-SEC before being mentored to become a spectre by asari Spectre-Agent Tela Vasir. Like his siblings, Cassian was artificially conceived and grown *in vitro*.

Unlike his older brother and sister, Cassian never became an imperial citizen as he was never enrolled in either Bootcamp or the Cabals. Due to his own traumatic experiences in the Cabals, Desolas attempted to shield his son from the *Dicasterum Mutarius* by taking them to court, on the grounds that Cassian was an Alliance citizen and thus not subject to the empire's laws regarding biotic incarceration.

After a lengthy court case, which was kept quiet from the public, the judge found in favour of Desolas, owing to the fact Cassian had been born on Eden Prime - a human colony - and had at least one parent who was already an Alliance citizen - namely Desolas himself. Not wanting to provoke the Alliance, the *Dicasterum Mutarius* begrudgingly agreed to the ruling, on the condition that Cassian would be forever denied imperial citizenship. As such, Cassian underwent his biotic training under the jurisdiction of the Alliance at Grissom Academy.

Erinia Mehrkuri

Erinia Mehrkuri Partinina was the daughter and eldest surviving child of Astraea Mehrkuri and her bonded husband, Antraxes Partinax. She had a younger brother named Astraeus Mehrkuri. Her stepbrother, Sairus Arterius, would later murder her in what was supposed to be a duel to first blood, beheading her in front of her father as an act of vengeance for the murders of Valexien Victus and his kin.
Digeris

Digeris is the third planet from the star Castellus and was one of the seven original extrasolar colonies of the Turian Empire. Its capital is the ancient fortress city of Apparitus, the seat of the Primarch of Digeris.

A hospitable world home to dextro-amino-acid-based life, Digeris was one of the first planets to be colonised by the turians at the dawn of their extrasolar space age. Since the Unification War, the colony has retained its close ties to Palaven, even being awarded custody of the legendary Banner of the First Regiment by Palaven Command, although recent political events threaten to shatter this once unshakeable alliance.

Digeris was famous, until recently, for being the site of the bloodiest battle in turian history. During the Krogan Rebellions, the krogan warlord Graken Dhal took the fight to Palaven's home cluster, bombarding the modestly defended Digeris with his dreadnoughts. When reinforcements came to intercept him, Dhal's navy put their rear to Digeris so that stray shots would hit the planet. The turians, led by the famous Admiral Fidericus Mehrkuri, won despite this severe handicap, using countless fighters and cruisers to take down the krogan fleet. To this day, Digerians hold close to their proud history of military service during the Krogan Rebellions, something which inspires much anti-krogan sentiment amongst its citizens.

During the Reaper War in 2187 CE, the turian fleet held Digeris in a stalemate against the Reapers. The Reapers, concentrating on Palaven and elsewhere, made the mistake of sending a relatively light force to try and take the planet, which the turians easily repelled. The turians, led by Primarch Astraea Mehrkuri, held the line at Digeris, forcing the Reapers to focus on smaller targets of opportunity within the Castellus system while they waited for reinforcements to arrive. Digerians boast proudly that they managed to hold onto their planet without needing to stoop so low as to ask the then newly-cured krogan for aid.

Today Digeris remains at odds with Hierarchy leadership. Feeling betrayed by the Primacy for its support of the Genophage cure, a high percentage of Digerians have begun to develop anti-imperial sentiments.

Elissa Miras

Elissa Abrudas Mirianus was the bonded wife of Aurelion "Auri" Abrudas and the mother of his two children, Septonian Abrudas and Trebia Abrudas. She was the daughter of former slaves who had worked in Carthaan's Tyrian dye industry, her father having risen to the position of Minister of Dye in Primarch Markus Abrudas' cabinet.

Elissa grew up alongside Markus' son, Auri, the pair of them becoming fast friends. Their friendship evolved into a mutual romantic attraction when they reached maturity. Despite their feelings for one another, both Auri and Elissa knew that they could never be together. Auri was a *heredus* and the heir to the Aurelian Throne; he was not at liberty to choose his future wife. Resigned to this reality, Elissa tried to concentrate on her career, following the family tradition of dye work. She and Auri remained close friends during this time, although Auri's career as a soldier often took him away from Tyra for long periods.

Auri returned to her seven years later and proposed marriage, telling her that his grandfather had changed the laws of succession and thus he was free to marry whomever he chose. Overjoyed, Elissa accepted his proposal. She and Auri were married a few months later, where Aurelion blessed their union personally. Now a part of House Abrudas and Markus' primatial family, Elissa moved into Auri's apartments in Carthaan's primacy palace. Despite her newfound fortune she continued to work in the textiles industry, never one to tolerate idle hands. Auri returned to his duty as a soldier, eventually being promoted to the prestigious Blackwatch.

Four years after their marriage, Elissa found herself with child. She gave birth to a son, whom Auri named Septonian in honour of his great-grandmother, Septonia. Six years later she gave birth to a daughter, whom Auri named Trebia, after his late mother.

Elissa was promoted to the rank of Custodian of Dye, a role in which she authorised and monitored the use of the extremely rare and valuable Tyrian dye. She was also placed in charge of verifying those who had legitimate claims to wear garments coloured with Tyrian dye, as by law only members of the Imperial Family wear permitted to wear purple. With permission from Aurelion, she added her and Auri's children to the list of eligibility - as Septonian and Trebia were both Aurelion's legitimate great-grandchildren, they were entitled to wear imperial colours.
Titan's Tears

Titan's Tears is a rare viral hemorrhagic fever specific to turians. It bears similarities to the human Ebola virus. While a cure for the virus does exist, the disease progresses so rapidly that by the time it is diagnosed, it is often too late to save the patient. The virus spreads through direct contact with body fluids, such as blood, or from contact with items that have recently been contaminated with infected body fluids. Diagnosis is confirmed by testing blood samples for the presence of viral RNA, viral antibodies or the virus itself.

Symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after infection. The first symptoms are often overlooked, as they emulate the symptoms of other, more common illnesses: fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. These are then followed by vomiting, diarrhoea, and decreased liver and kidney function, at which point patients begin to bleed both internally and externally. The name of the virus - Titan's Tears - alludes to the defining final symptom; bleeding from the eyes. By the time this symptom manifests, it is often too late to save the patient.

The mortality rate for Titan's Tears is between 25%-90% and kills about 50% of patients on average. Death is often due to shock from fluid loss and typically occurs between 6 and 16 days after the first symptoms appear. Early administering of anti-viral drugs and the treatment of symptoms drastically increases the survival rate of a patient.

Control of Titan's Tears outbreaks requires coordinated medical services and community engagement, including rapid detection, contact tracing of those exposed, quick access to laboratory services, care for those infected, and proper disposal of the dead. Prevention measures involve wearing proper protective clothing and washing hands when in close proximity to patients. This, and the control of other infectious diseases, is overseen by the *Dicasterum Salutis* and, more specifically, the *Ministerium Aegrori*.

In 2183 CE, there was an outbreak of Titan's Tears on the turian colony of Invictus. When the turians sent medical transports to the planet from the Citadel, carrying the cure for the virus, human xenophobic terrorists attempted to poison the cure to ensure mass deaths in revenge for the First Contact War. Thankfully, the terrorists were apprehended by turian forces but, had they succeeded, they would have killed millions of people. The ringleader of the terrorist cell, Weisman, was arrested but his second in command, Finch, escaped. He was later apprehended and turned over to turian authorities by Spectre Agent Desolas Arterius II. Weisman and Finch were later tried in a Citadel court and found guilty of premeditated genocidal intent. Both received life sentences for their crimes.
Componentes de Hechizos

## Reglas: Componentes de Hechizos

Cada clase mágica tiene un objeto denominado *enfoque arcano*, el cual utiliza como interfaz para lanzar sus conjuros. Sin embargo, varios conjuros requieren componentes particulares y costosos (ej. ***Chromatic Orb*** requiere un diamante con un valor mínimo de 50👑).

En vez de obtener estos componentes de manera individual, esta regla permite invertir oro en **esencia arcana**: un polvo azul y brillante que puede ser absorbido y contenido dentro de un objeto de *enfoque arcano*. Coloquialmente, la **esencia arcana** es llamada polvo de maná por varios. En efecto, la esencia arcana es para el maná lo que el hielo es al agua: un simple cambio de estado de materia. Esta esencia puede comprarse en el Mercado de Sanctuaire a 1👑 por gramo.

Dependiendo del conjuro a lanzar, tus reservas de esencia arcana se consumen o se mantienen. Conjuros como ***Chromatic Orb*** requerirán meramente la existencia del polvo de maná en el *enfoque arcano*, pero no lo consumirán; mientras que hechizos como ***Nondetection*** consumirán de tus reservas de esencia arcana el valor en 👑 que especifican en sus componentes requeridos.
433 Spidau

Located in the Nubian Expanse within the Attican Traverse, 433 Spidau is a post-nuclear world which was discovered by a Salarian deep-space mining ship in 2185. What marks the planet as unique is archaeological evidence of a nuclear extinction event at some point in its history. Previously the homeworld of an unknown race, 433 Spidau’s former inhabitants destroyed themselves approximately 1,000 years ago in a self-inflicted nuclear holocaust, which left the planet devoid of life and highly irradiated. Evidence gathered by the Salarian Institute for Exo-Archaeological Research points to the destruction of at least 90 cities in the historical nuclear exchange. This brings the total number of known sapient species destroyed by nuclear war to 11.

The discovery of 433 Spidau and its subsequent occupation by the Salarian Institute for Exo-Archeological Research triggered a galaxy-wide scandal, after an anonymous employee accused the institute of being a front for Salarian intelligence services. According to the leak, the institute’s research is funded and carefully monitored by Salarian intelligence - any interesting discoveries the scientists find are quickly passed along to agents embedded within the institute.

The institute’s director, Narid Jarwinar, rebuked the accusations, but later was forced to resign after new evidence surfaced which contradicted his earlier statements. Research documents obtained from scientific teams working on 433 Spidau indicated that advanced weaponry, discovered in a fallout bunker on the planet, had mysteriously gone missing after being shipped to the institute for analysis. The documents implied that Salarian intelligence agents had intercepted the shipment en route.

In his last act as director, Narid Jarwinar responded to the new evidence by conducting an internal review of all institute staff and terminating the employment contracts of staff members who were found to have ties to the Salarian intelligence services. Simultaneously, a large portion of the institute’s funding was pulled, presumably by said intelligence services. The institute is now appealing to the public for investors, citing the discovery of 433 Spidau as an exciting opportunity to become a part of galactic history.
Fidericus Mehrkuri (683 CE)

Admiral Fidericus Mehrkuri was the *Duarch Classium* of Palaven during the Krogan Rebellions, responsible for lifting the naval siege of Digeris on what was once the bloodiest day in turian history. Once in line to inherit the Aurelian Throne, Fidericus chose self-imposed exile rather than ascend to the rank of *Primarch Maximus*, venturing beyond the borders of the Aurelian Empire into what was uncharted space at the time.

After his mysterious disappearance and presumed death in 800 CE, he was canonised as a Living Spirit of the turian religion, in recognition of the role which he played in defending the turian race from extinction.

In 1983 CE his ship was found on the surface of Pressha's largest moon. Of the admiral, however, no trace was ever found. Every century or so House Mehrkuri will fund an expedition to Pressha to try and locate the body of their lost ancestor for recovery but have so far met with no success.

Fidericus Mehrkuri, born in 2260 CE to Astraeus Mehrkuri and Valexa Victus, is named after him.
Squalus

The squalus is a species of cartilaginous predatory fish native to the turian colony of Macedyn. They are similar in appearance to Earth's sharks albeit much larger, capable of growing up to 20 metres in length and covered in tiny iridescent scales. It is the largest and most powerful aquatic predator to have ever lived in Macedyn's seas and is the source of many maritime stories. House Halabrian took the squalus as their sigil following their imperial appointment as Consuls of Macedyn. Aurelion Aurelos' consort, Septonia Halabrian, incorporated her family's squalus into their joint sigil shortly after their marriage, with Aurelion gifting her a necklace made from squalus scales to celebrate their union. Septonia wore this necklace for most of her life and was buried with it after her death.
Malika

> ***"I am nobody.  I am your death."***

Malika is the daughter of Cania Torquatus and Aeson Kryik.  Her mother was forced to give her up for adoption after she was returned to her family.  When she was 9 years of age, her biotics manifested, and she was taken to the Altakiran Cabal.

When Altakiril was attacked by the Reapers, Malika was one of the only surviving members of her Cabal.  She managed to escape after the Reaper War, ending up on Omega, and joining the Eclipse Mercenaries.
Fideia Mehrkuri

Fideia Mehrkuri Victina is the daughter of Astraeus Mehrkuri and his wife, Valexa Victus. She has a younger brother called Fidericus Mehrkuri. Fideia is the current heiress presumptive to the parriarchy of House Mehrkuri and is expected to succeed her father in the event of his death, barring another member of her family being promoted above her rank.

The Seven and One

The *Septem et Unus*, translated from High Cipritine as "The Seven and One", are the eight original houses of the Familiae Martiales. With the exception of House Aurelos, each of the houses' founders were personally chosen by Aurelion Aurelos to become the primarchs of his reunified empire, selected for their unwavering loyalty and aptitude for leadership. Aurelion himself lead his own house, as the last Imperator of Palaven.

The member houses are House Aurelos of Palaven, House Abrudas of Carthaan, House Aventen of Parthia, House Caelax of Macedyn, House Fedorian of Epyrus, House Kandros of Thracia, House Mehrkuri of Digeris, and House Victus of Bostra.
Gidion Victus

Gidion Victus Caelinus is the second child of Irixia Victus and her husband, Kiron Caelax. He has an older brother named Euphemien Victus and a younger sister named Iacoba Victus. Through his maternal line, Gidion is the grandson of *Primarch* Fidellion Victus of Palaven and a descendant of Aurelion *Imperator*. Through his paternal line, he is the grandson of *Primarch* Menelus Caelax of Macedyn. As the legitimate grandchild of two *primarchs*, he was entitled to wear purple from birth.

Gidion was named by his mother in memory of her mother's half-brother, Gidion Abrudas, second lieutenant of the *Corpus Imperialis Vehiculum Armatus* (Imperial Tank Corps), who was killed in a tragic sky car accident in 2213 CE at the age of 18. Unlike his namesake, however, he is destined for a life of religious devotion; as the second child of his parents' union, he has been promised to the Bostran priesthood since birth. He is currently being trained by Claudia Victus, his maternal first cousin once removed, to one day succeed her as the *Vox Maiorum* of House Victus.
Ida Victus

Ida Victus Valina is the daughter and only child of Aritaea Victus and her Taetrian husband, Ennius Valen.

Like many of the younger members of her family, Ida is related to several late and still incumbent *primarchs*, including *Primarch* Adrien Victus of Palaven (her maternal grandfather), *Primarch* Fidellion Victus of Palaven (her half-uncle and first cousin), *Primarch* Valexien Victus of Bostra (her maternal great-uncle), *Primarch* Idus Valen of Taetrus (her paternal great-uncle), and *Primarch* Domitia Sparatus of Bostra (her maternal fourth cousin once removed).
Imperial Diamonds

Imperial diamonds (High Cipritine: *adamantes imperiales*) are pure purple fancy-coloured diamonds mined exclusively on Palaven. They are exceedingly rare, with only 1 in every 10,000 carats of all diamonds mined on Palaven exhibiting their signature purple colouration. Due to their rarity, the mining of imperial diamonds is a tightly controlled state operation, both to deter smuggling and to ensure reserves are not exhausted. The ownership of such diamonds is restricted by law to the Imperial Family of Palaven, the primatial families of the empire's colonies, and individuals who have inherited them from an ancestor who earned the rank of primarch. As such, a family owning even just one imperial diamond is seen as a mark of high status and good breeding.

## Notable imperial diamonds

* **Star of Palaven -** The largest imperial diamond ever discovered in Palaven's equatorial deserts, the Star of Palaven was once set into the crossband of the Imperial State Diadem. It is now set into the Aurelian Throne of Palaven, upon which all Primarchs of Palaven are anointed. It weighs in at an incredible 3106 carats.
