## Overview

**House Smark** was a royal house which originated from the Lands of Northern Sparwood. The Family rose in prominence in their establishment of the **Tzardom of Arxella** with its Founder **Ferro Smark**. With the family holding the Imperial Throne of Arxella from March 3rd to October 16th until the continuation state of the Kartek Diarchy Collapsed into Anarchy.

## History

### Rise to Prominence

Ferro Smark would establish the Tzardom of Arxella which would go on to dominate Northern Sparwood.

### Tzars of Arxella

##### Ferro Smark

The Founder of **House Smark**, and first **Tzar of Arxella**, reigning from March 3rd 2021 to October 16th 2021, making him the longest reigning Tzar of Arxella thus far.

##### Solomon Smark

The Second **Tzar of Arxella** crowned during the Anarchy he would reign from October 17th, 2021 to November 2nd, 2021. his brief reign saw the continued deterioration of Arxella, with the Frosterium Takeover and then collapse, to the Formation of Kartek Federation until the eventual collapse of Federation. With Solomon having very little power to change the hopeless situation by November 2nd he would abdicate his throne in favour of his younger brother Arcstron Smark.

##### Arcstron Smark

The Third or Fourth Tzar of Arxella his position of Tzar is currently heavily disputed. with his claim being contested by RGBStarship who "usurped" the position of Tzar of Arxella, with RGB claim to Arxella being slim to none, with the only reasoning he could possibly use legally would be right of conquest.

### Decline

The Decline of the house truly began much earlier than the eventual collapse of the Kartek Diarchy it laid with the fact that the Tzars of Arxella being unable to repair Arxella's reputation on the world stage for being known as warmongers, and troublemakers and developing a bad reputation of Toxicity, although the blame shouldn't completely be pushed to the Tzar as no one could truly manage the actions of all their subjects and subordinates. Even so the issue remained, and the it only grew with more from that with more incidents occurring over the course of the Tzardom's existence which caused them to be cut off from support from a large number of nations, despite the family marrying into two powerful noble families. This pushed the nation closer to the Soleannen Empire of Escharia which could be argued as the overall undoing of the First Tzardom of Arxella in the end.
