Talk:Arylon Family/testing2
This is an account of the Arylon Clan - its traditions, history and significance.
The House of Arylon or Arylon Family is a noble house of somewhat recent birthright, hailing originally from the remote regions of Cagilan Empire. All those who identify with the Arylon Clan can trace their roots back to a common ancestor, Avalair Arylon who is considered the patriarch of the family. The name itself originates from the ancient hereditary title Aryl, which in an ancient Atamaran language means "Lord". There are over 30 members of the most recent generation of the family alive in the world today, though the four sons of Mannix Arylon have the most influence and importance.

Origins of the House of Arylon
The House of Arylon was originally a common family hailing from the Calis region in what is today the Cagilan Empire. In Ancient times, members of this family were mostly craftsmen, specifically blacksmiths who specialized in creating deadly weapons for use by primitive warlords in their campaigns on the continent of Atamara.
Lordship was bestowed upon the Arylon family roughly 70 years ago, when Avalair wed the daughter of the Count of Calis, Julienn Stanford, thus cementing the future nobility of his family. Upon the death of Julienn's father, Avalair assumed control of Calis and took a second name, Arylon, which is a modified version of the hereditary title Aryl, which in an ancient Atamaran language means "Lord". It was a title given to the tribal warlords that used to roam Calis in the chaos that existed before the nations of Atamara formed.

The Current Standard Bearers
Jaden - Son of Mannix
Template:Main Jaden Arylon is the eldest of the four living sons of Mannix, and currently claims the standard of House Arylon. His brother, Fisc Arylon also claims the family's standard, not knowing that his brother Jaden is still alive. In his life, he has been many things, a knight, a trader, a hero, and now a lord. He has also spent time on three different continents, finally settling down in the realm of Fronen, in the region of Iaera.
Nexis - Son of Mannix
Template:Main Nexis Arylon is no longer of noble blood. He was born of Mannix Arylon in the region of Nardil in the Cagilan Empire on the continent of Atamara. He traveled with his father to the colonies, where he was eventually captured with his mother and brother Jaden. Jaden was able to escape, but Nexis remained and grew up under the care of Kaendall Istar, stripped of nobility. When he matured into adulthood, faced with no claim of nobility, Nexis set off for the continent of Beluaterra to attempt to earn his nobility back as an adventurer.
Fisc - Son of Mannix
Template:Main Fisc Arylon, also known as The Emerald Knight, is the older of the famous Arylon twins, born just minutes before his brother Taran. He is currently the Lord of Dakan, a region in the northeast of Toren. Additionally, Fisc is also a long-serving Fiduciary, as well as the Marshal of the Phoenix Guard. After his brother Taran's defection from their ancestral home of the Cagilian Empire to Abington, the brothers relationship has been somewhat cool.
Taran - Son of Mannix
Template:Main Taran Arylon is the elder of the famous Arylon twins, born before his brother Fisc by only a few minutes. He is currently a high-ranking priest of the Aristoi Atamarism religion in the nation of Abington. He began his life in the Cagilan Empire but as his life evolved, he later left the Empire in favor of Abington. Since his defection, his relationship with his twin brother Fisc Arylon have been somewhat chilly, but still civil.
Roddick - Son of Caden
Template:Main Roddick is the son of Mannix's younger brother, Caven who had settled in the Far East in the nation of Soliferum. His mother had died in childbirth, and after his father was killed in battle when he was 10 years old, his uncle Mannix came to Soliferum and brought Roddick to live with him and his cousins. After Mannix was killed himself, Roddick wandered the world learning of its many lands, before settling back in Soliferum as a warrior.
Historical Heads of House Arylon
- Avalair Arylon - Avalair was the first noble in the Arylon line.
- Alexis Arylon - Alexis ascended to the head of the family when Avalair was poisoned, and though Alexis was implicated in the poisoning, his involvement was never proven and he was able to defend his ascension to the head of the house.
- Mannix Arylon - Mannix Arylon assumed command of the Arylon family upon the exile of his father, Alexis Arylon. Alexis was banished from Atamara, and rather than share his father's fate, Mannix condemned Alexis and attacked his interests to curry favor with the Prime Minister of Cagilan Empire.
- Jaden Arylon / Fisc Arylon - The standard of House Arylon is currently split, with the eldest brother Jaden assuming the mantle when he believed his father to be killed. Fisc did the same when Mannix was killed, as he was unaware of his older brothers Jaden and Nexis still being alive. At current, both sets of brothers are unaware of the existence of the other, and there are two legitimate claims to the head of the Arylon household.
