The of Arescod Dynasty

The heraldics of the Arescodian nobles.

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 have grow 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. Their rise to power began right before the war between the Federation of Véinsørmoot and Luria Novia.


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 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.




Family Members

Roran of Arescod

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. 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. 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. 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.

He is often seen wearing a gambeson with his family's heraldics proudly displayed on them. However, when he goes to battle he always reveals the blank steel plate of his plate armour, which is of a mixed Gothic-Milanese style. He always carries his trusted bastard sword crafted by a Nebellese mastersmith.


Robin of Arescod

Robin is a cousin of Roran, and ventured towards the continent of Atamara mere days after Roran set out. Also being 17 years old, he started out as a humble knight in Galadia. He is less ambitious and more reserved than his slightly older cousin Roran, and has so far not done anything noteworthy in his career as a nobleman in the realm of Silnaria.


Helena of Arescod

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.
