Family Above All.”


100932


A small, new house on the political board, whilst only one person rules over said house it has humble beginnings in Sooleran culture. Travellers the lot of them, they were a large and diversified family who were often spreading word of the Goodness and Truth, the Love of the world. Hand in hand their faith in Harateth and Sallana held strong, many of these Vhalakis men and women becoming priests or paladins of either. That was… until Harateth had grown corrupt and was taken down, to be born again as a new Goddess.

The family was conflicted. One of their Gods was no longer the way they used to be, whilst the other was left heartbroken and without her partner. There were those who were loyal to Harateth even in rebirth, and thus stood by Ignis Synnove feeling that, despite her differences, she was a fresh start after the corruption. Others did not see it that way - they saw his change and corruption as a betrayal to Sallana. Suffice it to say, this pious family was torn in two and all hell broke loose.

It was civil war. And it was felt. Many were involved with this family and more still were affected as religion became a destructive topic. Those of Ignis split off from those of Sallana and whilst the two ‘sides’ shared a family name, once all was done and many caravans and tents were destroyed, eventually a decision came that neither family would acknowledge the other as one in the same. Thus Vhalakis became not one, but two families, a great divide between them and never to speak face to face.

Of course, times since then have grown lax and now and again, they can be seen communicating on more lax terms. Years passed by until a woman of only half-Sooleran descent was born. Never knowing her family, yet holding some of the same beliefs, Julianne Vhalakis is the sole known matriarch to this family after amassing enough funds, renown and land for her own House. Never wishing to see her children, nor the children of others, without homes. Never wishing to see another family in poverty. Not like she. She would use her new blessings both in divinity and power to help others no matter the cost.

{ House Trivia }

  • Julianne actually stems from the Ignis side of the family tree due to her father's 'betrayal' of the other side. She would never know it, as she had never known her father and her mother was devoted to most Gods in her own way.
  • Their family has a different sigil with a Phoenix upon the crest, for rebirth. Julianne's is one formed of the new age of Vhalakis, whilst the other is of the eld, before the family split into civil war.
  • Whilst the family colors are Pink,White, Gold and Green, Julianne is often seen only wearing three of those colors.
  • The pink in her sigil represents new beginnings and platonic love. Gold is representative of loyalty and of the 'old ways', and white represents a new, clean slate. The green of the laurel represents growth of a blossoming House.
  • Likewise, the symbols in her crest have meaning - the Cornucopia and rose are that of Sallana, whilst the Desert Rose represents the matriarch.
  • All Vhalakis are rumored to be passionate and stubborn individuals.
