Background
Originally established in Riverholm, Abington on Atamara, the Arete family derives its name from the Greek word 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).
However, the family has thus far done little to prove themselves worthy of their own name.
Aeryn
Always quick to act, Aeryn was the first member of the Arete family to become an active member of the nobility. Aa fanatic supporter of Abington, Aeryn believes the greatest honor is to die a hero's death fighting for a cause, but hopes to see her family become prestigeous before such a sacrifice is necessary. Lady Aeryn has choosen Sir Phlex, Count of Washford, as her liege and patron. She is currently leading a unit of 32 infantry to Stargard, but wishes she had remained in Riverholm to protect the peasants from the monsters in Wynford.
Averyll

Like her sister, Averyll intends to lead a military life, but believes it is better to live for a cause than to die for glory.
