Background
Originally established in Riverholm, Abington on Atamara, the Arete family derives its name from the Greek word meaning "virtue," or more specifically, "the excellence that makes anything an outstanding specimen of its kind, especially well fitted to its ends" (Nicomachean Ethics, trans. Joe Sachs, pg. 212).
However, the family has thus far done little to prove themselves worthy of their own name.
Aeryn
Always quick to act, Aeryn was the first member of the Arete family to become an active member of the nobility, and has choosen Sir Phlex, Count of Washford, as her liege and patron. A fanatic supporter of Abington, Aeryn believes the greatest honor is to die a hero's death fighting for a cause, but is slowly coming to grasps with the idea that living for a cause may be a greater service to Abington than dying for honor. She is also conflicted over her desire to fight for her realm and her desire to feed the people. She is currently trying to convince her brother, Alendru, who prefers a life of quiet study, to take up the role of a trader to help fight against starvation.
Aeryn has just survived her first battle. A horde of monsters had invaded Matakonis while Aeryn was en route to Stargard, so she delayed her journey to join the fray. She is currently following King Carriantor to Chasnoff to fend off more monsters.
