Aeryn was the first of the Arete family to accept the responsibilities of nobility, after which she swore an Oath of Fealty to Sir Phlex, the former Count of Washford. Phlex introduced Aeryn to Duchess Callisto, and the two became close friends. After Phlex was imprisoned by ASI for infiltration during the War of Dishonour, Callisto appointed Aeryn as the new Countess of Washford. Aeryn was only 18 at the time, and had not even been a noble for a full two months yet.
Aeryn spent most of her early career working as a bureaucrat; however, a few weeks after religions began to spread across the face of Atamara, Aeryn founded Aristoi Atamarism, the first religion within Abington's borders. After the Aristoi had spread to several regions and acquired a few priests, Aeryn changed careers again and become a mentor; however, she continued in her role as the Prophet of Aristoi Atamarism. She was reappointed as Countess of Washford, and shortly afterwards was appointed as the Marshal of the newly created Army of Suville, though the latter may have more to do with the military success of her sister, Averyll, than anything she has done herself.
As a result of Aeryn's successful performance as both Marshal and Countess, Queen Armitage appointed Aeryn to both the Military Council and the Royal Council. However, Aristoi Atamarism did not remain the only religion in Abington for very long. Nemesis was appointed as the lord of Monagle, and almost immediately founded the Pantheist Path. Furthermore, Lord Brakus went on a pilgrimage to the North and brought back with him the religion of the North known as The Hammer. Arch-Priest Gauihu, who was an Aristoi at the time, instituted a policy of religious toleration. Nevertheless, hostilities began to emerge between the quarreling faiths, and Queen Armitage created the first Religious Council, on which Aeryn chaired.
Eventually, Queen Armitage retired, and Arch-Priest Gauihu was elected as the new King. The King decided that Duke Spiritmonger, who happened to be the brother of Nemesis, had been Duke long enough, and requested his resignation. Instead, the Duke seceded from Abington and thus founded a new realm, which was called Aquitaine. At the time, the Pantheists were confined mostly to the Riverholm duchy, and they were led by Nemesis and Spiritmonger, and so the Pantheists were eliminated as a sanctioned religion of Abington. Shortly after the fledgling realm was conquered by Abington, Duke Magnus the Mighty of Wayburg, who had become the Hammer's representation in Abington, also seceded, thus eliminating the Hammer as a sanctioned religion, leaving only the Aristoi as an official religion of Abington, and the Religious Council was disbanded. The religious affairs of Abington were thus left entirely in the hands of Aeryn.
Duchess Callisto also announced her intentions to secede, and Duke Martok of Narville announced his intentions to join with her new realm. King Gauihu became insane with anger, and initiated such brutal leadership tactics that High-Marshal Xuanye, who was also Duke of Stoneville at the time, began a rebellion against the King. The rebellion was successful, which brought an end to the Kingdom of Abington. The Republic of Abington was born, in which Aeryn struggled to maintain favour. She campaigned for the position of Minister of Justice as well as Minister of Defense, twice each, but was denied on each occasion. She was also rejected for a promotion to Dukedom on numerous occasions. During an invasion by the Cagilan Empire, Aeryn was imprisoned and lost her titles as Countess and Marshal, neither of which were restored upon her release. It seemed Aeryn's impressive climb up Abington's hierarchy had come to an end; however, the Republic of Abington did not last long.
Eventually, Duchess Callisto seceded from Abington and founded the Kingdom of Suville. Aeryn was immediately elected as the Arch-Priestess of Suville. Shortly afterwards, the now Queen Callisto retired as Duchess, appointing Aeryn as her successor and restoring Aeryn's command as the Marshal of the Army of Suville. Aeryn's patience and commitment had finally paid off.
