The "A" stands for the family's name "Arete", which is derived from the Greek word [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arete_%28excellence%29|<big>ἀ</big>ρετή], 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).  The color blue stands for the virtue of loyalty, which the Arete family believes is the most important virtue of a noble.  The family motto is ''Vincula de linguae vel tibi linguae dabit'' - "Lay restraint on thy tongue or thy tongue will lay it on thee".  It is not present on the Arete Coat of Arms.

Background

Originally established in Riverholm, Abington on Atamara, though the family also currently has members in Ibladesh (on East Continent), Toren (on South-East) and an adventurer in the Far East. The family's name "Arete", is derived from the Greek word ρετή, meaning "virtue," or more specifically, "the excellence that makes anything an outstanding specimen of its kind, especially well fitted to its ends". The family motto is

Vincula de linguae vel tibi linguae dabit

which translates from Latin as "Lay restraint on thy tongue or thy tongue will lay it on thee". The family has grown very quickly, and most credit adherence to the motto for their success.

Aaliyah

The family also suffers the name of Aaliyah Arete, who was disowned by the family for having relations with a commoner. She was subsequently sent to the Far East "to be the commoner she pretends to be." At first Aaliyah was defiant, but she has learned to appreciate her noble heritage and strives to regain her honour and her family's respect. Alendru is sympathetic towards Aaliyah's circumstances, as he himself would prefer a life beyond "the petty etiquette of nobility." Averyll is disdainful towards Aaliyah, as she believes that "nothing is more important than serving the realm." Aeryn is indifferent towards Aaliyah, as she is concerned only for "the general good and welfare of the people of Abington."
