The Elric House is one of the Five Eminent Noble Houses of the Saint Mesit Theocracy ruling over the borders of the Theocracy. It puts them between three countries, namely the Austine Empire; Knight Kingdom, Pendor; and the Theocracy. It’s the buffer zone between the three countries, and small skirmishes often occur there. The intention behind the royal family’s decision to banish the Elric House there is likely to have it spiral into decline before vanishing from the face of the world. However, after struggling for the past hundred years, the Elric House miraculously managed to rise back to power.
They were previously a Marquess House but the March Turmoil had stripped them of that title. During their days as a Marquess House, they were a powerful house even comparable to the Royal Family. They had territory reaching far and wide making them the leader of the Five Eminent Noble Houses. However they lost the majority of it to the Ascart House. They are eager to earn it back and so they view the Ascart family as their nemesis. The relationship between the Elric House and Ascart House was considered irreparable after the incident during Nora's brithday.
The House owns a mansion in the Holy Capital.
Research from the Sorofya Merchant Association shows results that would indicate that the Elric House would have decent governance and therefore decent growth of the fiefdom but the reality was that the Elric House was quickly rising in power. The patriarch of the House knows the secret to longevity. In exchange for their loyalty to the Elric House and their children joining Bron’s following, the ailing nobles would be bestowed with a way for them to continue living, and perhaps, even making a ‘full recovery’.
History[]
March Turmoil[]
See Saint Mesit Theocracy's history on March Turmoil for details.
The Elric House was one of the three houses that sided with Prince Wade during the civil war. Due to this, They were severely punished.
With the disappearance of the Tark Stronghold, John Xeclyde waged war on the Elric House along with the Ascart House. This is a repeat of what happened 200 years prior during the March Turmoil except the Ascarts went on the offense this time.
