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).
The family motto is Vincula de linguae vel tibi linguae dabit - "Lay restraint on thy tongue or thy tongue will lay it on thee".
Coat of Arms
Fame
The Arete earned their first fame point when Averyll earned her 10th prestige point at the battle in the Cave of Guilt on June 21st. Aeryn is very jealous.
