The House of Horen-Marna also now known as the House of Marna is a cadet branch of the Johannian line descending from the imperial House of Horen. The house was created when John I created the Duchy of Marna - from which the house was named - for his second son Prince Alexander Louis. Alexander Louis had already been made Count of Westmark in 1539 and was granted further lands and privileges at the end of the Eighteen Years' War.
After years had passed since the family gave up their titles to Aurelius I, Emperor of Man in 1651. The family's whereabouts would be unknown though it was presumed they were hidden in Aeldin until the year of 1714, to which the family reappeared from the shadows plotting for their restoration along with pressing claim for the Holy Orenian Empire. The grandson of Frederick I of Marna, Joseph I, would be supported by many to which he'd then be crowned in Reza though would result in the War of Two Emperors.
