Origin

Early History

Not always of noble blood, the family started on a simpler way of life in the region of Iglavik, trading goods to traveling caravans, provenient of harvest, mining, but most importantly: hunting.

Lion-Head

The Lion-Head was one of the main hunter clans in the region of Iglavik. They got their name from the nickname other clans would call the group, because of their natural blond hair. They were known for their robust swords and brutal fighting style, taking any creature in direct combat to prove their strength. The Lions quickly became quite famous and respected among their social circle.

Erix

Another great clan on the region was the Erix, comprised primarly by archers and trackers, they usually outsmarted their pray with traps and ambushes, and were able to take down a wide variety of targets with little damage to the animal, favouring merchants in look for skins. Because of their use of nature to advantage, the Erix got extensive knowledge on natural resources, medicines, and overall utilities, witch helped them become very prominent among the hunting circle.

Later Years

When the leaders of both clans married, it essentially unified the two best and most respectable hunter clans into one big family, getting the best of both worlds. And to honour this great union, the first son was given the name Erix Lion-Head.The naming conventions of this branch's future heritage still follows this weird pattern: having the -Erix suffix, while keeping the surname of the Lions. Thus being born the Lion-Head family as we now know it.

Current Family Tree

The family tree of the Lion-Head started being recorded just as the family was born with Erix. The one highlighted at the bottom is the current head of the family. It is possible for the family to be bigger, as it was formed with the union of two hunting clans. But the less known part of the family are of the most part just commoners, and do not have any noble title. Therefore there is no true record of their blood relation with the most famous branch of the family, and their story is mostly unknown.
