The Masters of Aermo
The glorious Kingdom of Aermo is a nation of diverse parts -
Proud Freemen and women lording over slaves
Great Cities with marble edifices looming over sprawling slums
Granite mountains, harsh deserts and a massive central sea
Countless peoples united under a banner that promises protection in exchange for servitude
A place in a mechanism that has endured for two thousand years
A place to call Home.
The City of Aermo In the Lausian Bay sit the Seven Sisters - islands, each ruled by a noble family, each wishing to be King should the current one fall. Each plotting his fall. Around the bay their various principal holdings lie, towns held in their grasp.
On the Central Sister, highest above the others is the Eternal Palace , home to King Cerano VI, Monarch of the Kingdom of Aermo, Guardian of the Great Dominion, Scion of House Mercator, Paragon of Justice, Exarch of the Nine Gods, and Bringer of Illumination to the Lost.
But he is just a young man, new to power, and while bred to it, has yet to ... fully consolidate it over the squabbling houses. He shall in time.
The Noble Houses
Mercator - Current holders of the Marble Throne, and hailing from the Town of Raemo on the South East of Lausian Bay.
Buccio - Exceedingly good traders with a distant net, they hail from Cellae to the South West of the bay.
Allectius - Bankers, merchants, this family owns Taela and the land for miles about on the East of the bay. Senilis - Politicians and administrators with a talent for self-enrichment, they took the town of Retium on the north east shore.
Maximius - Enriched by campaigns new and old this family rule from Novae on the North West shore.
Corbulo - From Volsini on the western shore come a new family whose wealth descends from a mastery of magic.
Amantius - A lineage of wealth and power so ancient few remember their origins in murder and betrayal, but their choke hold on the entrance to the bay in Quini is not by chance.
Lesser Houses
Angelus - Hailing from the Cyrenae province, on the southern shore of the Mare Centrum, House Angelus has recently acquired the first step to greatness. This Province is not rich in resources at the moment, but is home to fierce tribes that swore fealty to Angelus, before Aermo.
Beatae - Neighbors to Angelus, they took the Proconsularis province through no other house desiring it at the time. A reward for services that was not highly desireable, until a variety of gems were found near a deep desert oasis.
Lascarius - In the distant, near forgotten province of Mauretania Maurae House Lascarius sits south of the only regional power standing against Aermo - the Occidental Kingdom. They also are the Province that is able to send ships south, around the great desert sea. While such an expedition is risky, expensive and insane, it is appealing to their Duke.
Probus - In the middle of the eastern Mare Centrum, on the Island of Gortynae, sits the province of Gortynae. House Probus rule here, but eye greater things if the Noble Houses should stumble low enough.
