The House Ivanovich is a small, insular noble family hailing originally from the Fourth Holy Orenian Empire. It's namesake, Ivan Barrow, was the bastard grandson of Emperor Tuvya Carrion, and would be raised by Emperor Aleksandr Carrion in the absence of his father Yakov Carrion. The present-day incarnation of the family is descended from Arpad Ivanovich, who first rose to prominence as a warrior fighting alongside House Romstun; before he pledged his blade to Emperor Aurelius, the sovereign of Renatus and was knighted for his outstanding performance on the battlefield, as well as his reputation as one of the then King's most brutal enforcers. Arpad made a name for himself in the Coup of Adelburg, where alongside two other men he slaughtered John VI, Holy Orenian Emperor and the entire Imperial Court.
In modernity, a descendant of Arpad by way of the lineage of Ser Konyves Ivanovich by the name of Dima Cato Ivanovich re-founded House Ivanovich in Modern Oren, pledging fealty to Philip III, Holy Orenian Emperor, serving as a member of the Imperial State Army in the Urguani-Orenian War and being knighted for his part in the Storming of Kal'Darakaan.

- Svatabor Ivanovich, Archbishop of Ayr and Pentarch of the Synod, is excommunicated by High Pontiff Theodosious I.
- High Pontiff Theodosius I excommunicates Sveneld Ivanovich from the Church of Canon for fighting alongside the Dreadlanders, who the Church considered to be heretics for revering Augustus Flay as a Saint.
