House Madigan
\
" Reason and Strength"
The descendants of the Jazuma Family, by way of the middle son Halcyon, House Madigan remained reclusive and hidden until the brothers Aurelius and Hendrick petitioned for the right to adventure out into the world. The family relented and sent the two scions of the house out into the world. Shortly thereafter, young Lazarus Madigan fled home.

Hendrick Madigan
"May a bright future await us here where the Lurian sun sets. May we ever serve as a paragon of moderation and reason, of peace and justice."
A fiery and restless youth, it was Hendrick who first attempted to leave House Madigan to see the world and convinced his brother to do likewise. Bold, passionate, and clever, Hendrick is more confidant in himself than hehas a right be and is eager to prove himself to those around him. He arrived in the realm of Luria Nova where he was warmly welcomed by [[D'Arricarr�y/Torpius|Torpius D'Arricarrère]] who converted him to the fold of Aetheris Pyrism, a faith that he now pledges his life to. In the faith, he is the author of collection of documents on Theosophy, dubbed The Madigan Research Journals. Possessing his father's knack for politics and law, Hendrick was appointed as the Earl of Thar Gortauth in the newly established Duchy of Shinnen.
Most recectly, he participated in the formation of the realm of Luria Vesperi and has the honor of serving as its first High Magistrate.

A Young Hendrick Madigan
Aurelius Madgian
In contrast to his brash and bold brother, Aurelius is a calm and considerate young man, not gifted in the ways of the sword, but given over to being a scholar and thinker. Overshadowed by his brother, he never learned much in terms of combat, instead choosing to spend his time in the family library and listening to his father's tales. Thanks to his silence, bookishness, and delicacy, many treat Aurelius as if he is an aloof princeling, someone looking down disdainfully on others.
Aurelius eventually made his war to the realm of Thalmarkin, arriving around the same time as the Fifth Blight. He immediately gathered a redoubtable troop of men and cast aside his fears of war, joining the offensive against the Overlord.
Lazarus Madigan
The greenest of the green, Lazarus has the ambition of his oldest brother with the boundless spirit of adventure that deserted the politically-minded Hendrick. Eager to see the world and become caught up in great events, Lazarus find himself on Atamara in the realm of Coria.
Characteristics
As noted by the High Justice of Luria Nova, House Madigan retains a strong Summer Isles accent ((OOC: Welsh)) and must speak and write in their second tongue out in the world. Hendrick Madigan in particular is noted for his strong accent. Physically, the people of House Madigan tend to have dark blonde hair, blue eyes, and be slender and tall - giving them a tendency towards politics rather than martial confrontation.
