| + | The '''House of Arylon''' is a noble house of royal bloodline, originating from the remote regions of the [[Cagilan Empire]] on the lost continent of [[Atamara]]. The name itself originates from the ancient hereditary title Aryl, which in an ancient [[Atamara|Atamaran]] language means "Lord." Humble in origin, the Arylonians were minor nobles of little fame or authority for generations, before rising in significance and becoming one of the most recognizable noble houses in the known world. |

| − | The '''House of Arylon''' or '''Arylon Family''' is a noble house of somewhat recent birthright, hailing originally from the remote regions of [[Cagilan Empire]]. All those who identify with the Arylon Clan can trace their roots back to a common ancestor, [[Avalair Arylon]] who is considered the patriarch of the family. The name itself originates from the ancient hereditary title Aryl, which in an ancient [[Atamara|Atamaran]] language means "Lord". There are over 30 members of the most recent generation of the family alive in the world today, though the four sons of Mannix Arylon have the most influence and importance.
| + | After generations of obscurity, it was the exploits of the brothers of [[Arylon Family/Fisc|Fisc]] and [[Arylon Family/Taran|Taran]] that led to the ascension of the Arylonians. Ironically, it was by forsaking their ancestral home and claim on nobility that the brothers would rise. When they came of ages, Fisc -- who was always the more restless and belligerent than Taran -- was unsatisfied by his position in life, and sought to carve out his own name in battle by traveling to the [[South-East Island]]. There he would distinguish himself, gaining a Lordship in [[Toren]], then being trusted to manage the finances for the realm, and later being named General, overseeing all of the war effort. |

| + | Taran remained on Atamara, but equally frustrated by his anonymity and irrelevance among the Cagilans, he abandoned his family estate and traveled to the south-east of the continent, joining the realm of [[Abington]], which would eventually become [[Suville]].

| |
| − | The House of Arylon was originally a common family hailing from the Calis region in what is today the [[Cagilan Empire]]. In Ancient times, members of this family were mostly craftsmen, specifically blacksmiths who specialized in creating deadly weapons for use by primitive warlords in their campaigns on the continent of Atamara.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Lordship was bestowed upon the Arylon family roughly a century ago, when [[Arylon Family/Avalair|Avalair]] wed the daughter of the Count of Calis, [[Julienn Stanford]], thus cementing the future nobility of his family. Upon the death of Julienn's father, Avalair assumed control of Calis and took a second name, ''Arylon'', which is a modified version of the hereditary title Aryl, which in an ancient [[Atamara]]n language means "Lord". It was a title given to the tribal warlords that used to roam Calis in the chaos that existed before the nations of Atamara formed.
| + | The family became a royal house when Fisc was forced to flee from the destruction of the South-East Island. He and a combination of Torenites and Ikalakians came to the newly discovered continent of Dwilight, where they formed a new nation, called [[Everguard]], to which Fisc was proclaimed the first High King. |
| − | | |
| − | Prior to Avalair's ascension to Lordship, members of the family went only by one name, and mostly resided in primitive towns in the rural areas surrounding Calis - serving as the local blacksmith, and sometimes carpenter. Excellent craftsmen, ancient warlords often chose these men to produce the weapons used in their campaigns across the Atamaran continent.

In his life, he has been many things, a knight, a trader, a hero, and a region lord. He has also spent time on three different continents, finally settling down in the realm of [[Fronen]], in the region of Iaera. After deciding to set up roots, found a reconstituted [[Black Tower]], and permanently settle in Fronen, the monster invasion overwhelmed his home, and he became a refugee, fleeing to the realm of [[Riombara]].

Jaden was able to escape, but Galen remained and grew up under the care of Kaendall Istar, stripped of nobility. When he matured into adulthood, faced with no claim of nobility, Galen set off for the continent of [[Beluaterra]] to attempt to earn his nobility back in a life of adventure. After several years of difficult work slaying monsters, undead and serving Belluateran lords - Galen was again recognized as being of noble blood. Upon gaining his new status, he boarded a ship to [[Atamara]] to return to the continent of his ancestors, and rebuild a noble life. He is currently fighting under the standard of Minas Ithil in the north.

After Mannix was killed himself, Roddick wandered the world learning of its many lands, before briefly settling back in Soliferum as a warrior. Roddick was restless, however, and seeking greater glory and a rougher life, he immigrated to the South-West Island, joining the realm of Ikalak. His time there was short however, as the island soon began to sink into the ocean forcing him to leave once again. Desperate to find some semblance of stability, he returned to the Colonies and joined the realm of Wetham.

Alexis was banished from Atamara, and rather than share his father's fate, Mannix condemned Alexis and attacked his interests to curry favor with the Prime Minister of Cagilan Empire.''

| − | *[[Arylon Family/Jaden|Jaden Arylon]] / [[Arylon Family/Fisc|Fisc Arylon]] - ''The standard of House Arylon is currently split, with the eldest brother Jaden assuming the mantle when he believed his father to be killed. Fisc did the same when Mannix was killed, as he was unaware of his older brothers Jaden and Galen still being alive. Since then, Fisc has learned of both brother's survival, but Galen is uninterested in commanding the family, and Jaden is far away and isolated - so he retains effective control over the Arylon clan.''

The House of Arylon is a noble house of royal bloodline, originating from the remote regions of the Cagilan Empire on the lost continent of Atamara. The name itself originates from the ancient hereditary title Aryl, which in an ancient Atamaran language means "Lord." Humble in origin, the Arylonians were minor nobles of little fame or authority for generations, before rising in significance and becoming one of the most recognizable noble houses in the known world.
After generations of obscurity, it was the exploits of the brothers of Fisc and Taran that led to the ascension of the Arylonians. Ironically, it was by forsaking their ancestral home and claim on nobility that the brothers would rise. When they came of ages, Fisc -- who was always the more restless and belligerent than Taran -- was unsatisfied by his position in life, and sought to carve out his own name in battle by traveling to the South-East Island. There he would distinguish himself, gaining a Lordship in Toren, then being trusted to manage the finances for the realm, and later being named General, overseeing all of the war effort.
