house agany of albaria is one of the first great houses of jassune, known as the godly six. they have been dukes and duchesses since 0 fa - which was when the purge took place. their seat is at aebarrow castle in albaria, and they're known for their justice and fairness in trial. their sigil is a maroon basilisk on a blue background - much like the royal family, they're one of the few houses to have a magical creature as a symbol - due to being chosen by the gods. their motto is "justice, honesty, integrity". relatives of house agany hold fort in pondhallow, cragville, silkpeak and sleetstar.

## CULTURE

### traits

the current agany dukelings are just under the average height for people in jassune - women in the family are, on average, 5'2, and men in the family are, on average, 5'8. they're usually quite slender, though, there are some that are naturally quite muscular and strongly built. due to the family helping out in the community, they have quite a rugged appearance. their complexion is usually brown or black, with no freckles. along with this, they usually have brown, orange or green eyes, and black or brown hair - which is usually thick and curly.

due to being considered by the gods as the keepers of justice, house agany are given justice related powers. like the other godly six, they will inherit up to five of the ancestral powers each - which will fully develop by time they're roughly twenty seven.

### gender

in house agany, women are the dominant gender. while both genders are taught everything; from fighting to sewing, with an emphasis on the children doing what they want to do, and there are just as many male knights and guards as female, or just as many male tailors as female tailors, women are the decision makers of the family - which is the belief of most of albaria. women are the heads of the house, the first in line to the agany seat is the eldest daughter, followed by the next eldest, all the way down to the youngest, and then the same again with the sons, oldest to youngest. for this reason, the current duchess is the albaria heir, with the duke being married into the family.

### religion

they follow the jassune pantheon, with their patron god being okena - judgement, courtrooms, honesty, loyalty and fairness. their secondary patron god is elo - knowledge, scholars, warlock, night time and teachers.

### greetings & address

A duke or duchess is addressed as "your grace," or "his grace" or "her grace" if you are of a lower status than them, though "duke" or "duchess" is fine if you're the same standing or higher. in writing, they shall be referred to as "my lord duke" or "my lady duchess", and the envelope should be addressed "his grace the duke of albaria" or "her grace the duchess of albaria". for both men and women, the duchess and duke prefer just a slight bow when being greeted, and they'll do the same for you to show their appreciation. as for the dukelings, they tend to be referred to as "sir { name }" or "lady { name }" and get a slight bow too.

### death

their dead are buried in graveyards alongside the people of albaria - they're not buried with anything, and their graves are just the same as anyone else's as they believe everyone is equal in death.

### naming

agany children are often given names that are generally of, equivalent to our world, african names. that being said, due to the marrying in of the duke, there may be a few irish names. common agany names are often variations on the names tau, kamau, tjaart, zephania, tariro, pemphero, amadi, nakato, fungai, naa and gudina.

## HISTORY

### foundation
