Asmius (Family)

The **Asmius Family,** alternatively known as the **Asmius lineage,** are the main monarchs and rulers of Olion since the beginning of its creation and birth. According to legend, the god of all espers bestowed a divine power upon the birth of the first female ever to be born, permanently allowing female generations only to acquit the power of the espers known as the Darkfire. They harness the blood of the gods, which are said to be passed down thousands of years of generations with each female offspring.

Although the Asmius lineage is purely female, several experiments have been tested by the lineage itself to supplant the power unto males, which ultimately fail in the process.

## **Lineage Rulers**

Delia is also the first Asmius to have founded the 'Tournesoul' technique, and is the true origin of the Darkfire.

### **Aith Asmius**
