Ignale Family

The **Ignales** are a post-wall family who lived in rather peace before the walls.

## History

The Ignales were simple people who lived on a farm for a decent amount of time. One day, when triplets Kami, Terris and Zelda went to explore the village boundaries, They discovered Mt. Mountaine a high-snowy mountain which had the Power of Mobs. They each claimed one. Kami, specifically inheriting the Founders Mob, and also all taking the 13 year curse. Kami, one year before the curse, realised that only his blood relatives will be able to use the Mob to it’s full extent, thus dating Qu-Estae, a noble mistress. Having two childeren, Theia and Tim, but these were unknown because the mother commited suicide and they were placed in a minor family. The nobility feared for the lack of a monarch and installed a Wynwyn System.

The next part of the history comes from the well-known folkhero, and true blood relative of king Kami from his daughter’s side, Aman Ignale, who sought out a way to get all seven mobs and restore balance. Though, he did and he found some sourcecode of the power, but nothing was said about it. He had a son in his last years. Doing the same things, his son also tried to claim all power, but failed. Not wanting to place it in Amber, he decided to pass it on to his son. This lineage went on for centuries.

## Blood

The Ignales have a certain blood which allows only them to control the Founders Mob. This is likely because a Ignale was the first one to touch the power and utilize it. If not of this blood, you can control it‘s mob shifting power, but not it‘s amberization of constructive powers.

## Lineage

The Ignale lineage is thwarted. One line starts with Kami and ends with Thero, after him the records are lost until the Holphy uprising when was said that a Thorn Ignale discovered the power once again in Amber. His brother Regyll was a documentarist. Yrvolt was originally against the uprising and was killed his daughter was used to be a sex-slave to produce childeren for the power. Byzeck who inherited the Creeper, escaped and was the founder of the known Southern Affiliation. Fylk had two childeren and Hyperia had Tesla and so forth until Vanguah. Written records further start at nearly crowned Queen Veaha, who passed it down with no controversy until Fyren. Fyren was married and has three kids, Tom, Rachel and Cyro. Cyro inherited the power. Months after that, a beast under name of Killwonger murdered his childeren and wife, but not Cyro because he protected himself with the Founders mob. Sadly weakened after escaping and also helping the Arches with their pillar, Cyro was encountered with a mob invasion and was eaten by the mob Ytri, a descendant of Byzeck
