===The Beginnings===
 +
The of Arescod family is an old and relatively unknown noble family, having used a laidback policy over the past decennia to a moderate succes. As a result its family holdings in [[Ulitsa]] had grown in wealth allowing them to expand their influence outwards. Ulitsa is a peaceful and rural coast region, known for its gentle climat and pleasant situation in the Barcan lands of [[Dwilight]]. The House of Arescod always had close ties with the [[of Rynir Family|House of Rynir]]. Although they eachother as allies, they have long since been severed, and the family of Rynir is but an old memory. Their rise to power began right before the war between the Federation of [[Véinsørmoot]] and [[Luria Nova]].

+
Unfortunately, most of this was lost when the horde or monsters arose. Much of the family's power and prestige were all gone. Nevermind wealth. The old manor is now ruined, and only the brave find their way there to loot. But not one of them has made it back.
  
  
Their origins are a blend of the Southern Dwilight cultures and they share many of the local beliefs and traditions. most, if not all family members are at least in name followers of Verdis Elementum, and they have a quite martial tradition. They share the tradition that started in [[Port Nebel]] and also have a form of birth swords. Instead, the user receives their sword once he has come of age, as a rite of passage. While they stick to some traditions they are quite innovate, allowing their members to keep a clear mind in a situation where another noble would be clouded by prejudices.  
+
===The Continuation===
 +
It has been a few dozen years but a side-family carrying same surname, has appeared on a different continent, [[Beluaterra]]. There, centered in the region of [[Vore]], they once again pride themselves as a noble house. Once again they are expanding outwards, but this time with a very keen look on their surroundings. The manor has been upgraded with a very simple keep, allowing the family to rest at ease when the Daemons rise, at least, so long the tide has been beaten back. However since [[Thalmarkin]] has been driven away and the control over the region was lost, there have been voices of unrest within the Arescod estate.

==Family Members==
  
The current head of the family, Tyvandor of Arescod, freely reigns over the family's keep, offering some ample but helpful support to his relatives and offspring. The heir apparant of the family is Roran of Arescod.

===Lambert of Arescod===
 +
While you may not look upon him to find the tallest of nobles, Lambert definitely has the strength part down. But to say that he uses his strength to the fullest potential would be untrue. His demeanor is calm, almost abnormally so! Very rare are the opportunities that give Lambert a reason to smile, nevermind feel sadness. Sternnesss is the exact quality you're looking at.
  
 +
The first to leave his newfound home in [[Vore]], he has been in [[Thalmarkin]] eversince. He has been busy with the war that has driven him out of Vore, and hopes that one day he can welcome his kin back.

===Margaretha of Arescod===
 +
Contrary to the former and much to his chagrin when they both lived at home, Margaretha is quite tall for a woman. This has ensured, amongst other things, that she's quite nervous when taking critisism. Her true passion lies in travelling. She wishes to see the world, and all that it may offer. That's why she travelled back to Dwilight, to discover!
  
 +
When she arrived she had taken a knight's position in [[Poryatu]]. The region is quite rich, and could do well for her, but she'd be off visiting a whole new world. Curiously, and without her knowing of this, she has taken the oath at [[Luria Nova]], the exact realm her past family fought against with their might.

Roran was the first of his family to venture outwards to make a name for himself and his family in the realm of [[Barca]]. He quickly received his own region of [[Thysan]] in the North of Barca. He took at interest in religion, albeit not too heavily. He become a follower of [[Verdis Elementum]].  he, according to the laws of the realm, takes his duty of protecting the freedom of religion of his people very seriously. In the Barcan war against [[Luria Nova]] he attacked [[Port Nebel]]. After it's third siege they succeeded in capturing [[Port Nebel]].

Eventually he too was forced out his ancestral home of [[Ulitsa]], together with the rest of his family. He went to live on the Eastern side of [[Dwilight]], but he was not content. He organised a group of nobles who were to try and relinquish the monsters horde over Western Dwilight. He was about to begin a rise around Eastern Dwilight in support of those nobles between realms who felt like him, that he disappeared. No sign of him was ever seen.
  
Roran was the first of his family to venture outwards to make a name for himself and his family at the young age of 17. He started out locally, as a knight under the service of Senator Childerik de Merovech, founder of the [[De Merovech Family]], but quickly rose through the hierarchy of [[Barca]] and received his own region of [[Thysan]] in the North of Barca.

====Robin of Arescod - Deceased====
 +
Robin has appeared on [[Atamara]] mere days after Roran, and ended up in [[Galadia]]. He is less ambitious and more reserved than his slightly older cousin Roran, and started out as a humble knight in the realm of [[Silnaria]]. After plunging straight into the Silnarian-Minas Leon war he fought valiantly, but was brutally scarred during his first real conflict, planting the seeds of anger and embitterment in his soul.
  
He experienced the beginning of the Cultus of the Bear Lords in Barca and was involved in the struggle of it trying to set up and grow. His bastard sister was blackmailed into converting, which she denied to, leading to her outrageous execution. He has taken this very personal, as the only way the world could work is if everyone would keep themselves to at least a st of rules. As a result, while he himself is a devout believer of [[Verdis Elementum]] he, according to the laws of the realm, takes his duty of protecting the freedom of religion of his people very seriously.  
+
After many battles, fights and skirmishes he has rapidly grown under the constant stress of being a knight pitched in a full-out war. He was appointed to the lordship of the region [[Galadia]], taking a turn for the better. His religious life took a turn too, having become a faithful aspirant in [[The Order]]. After the monster outbreak he bought the [[Sword_of_Flame|Sword of Flame]] from [[le_Drake_Family|Melot le Drake]] to smite Silnaria's enemies. Unfortunately, his tracks end here. He was probably eaten by monsters, or slain in battle.
  
He participated in the unsuccesful first siege of Port Nebel and fought valiantly to conquer the battlements but was driven off the walls along with his unit of levied spearmen. He suffered no injuries worth mentioning that day, but his first great battle washed away his inexperience with blood. After the battle on the way home to refit and restock his first unit was ambushed and defeated by monsters, upon which he decided to recruit an entirely new unit.

A bastard daughter of Tyvandor of Arescod, the father of both her and Roran, the patriarchof the family. She was his firstborn yet unlawfull child, and a s a result only seen as a mere commoner by most. In the contrary though she has received a decent education and handles the pen as well as the sword. She has made herself useful for the family which has given her so many more things than usual for a bastard child by offering her services as a hunter of undead and monsters in Barca.

He is often seen wearing a gambeson with his family's heraldics proudly displayed on them.
