The House of Horen (Common: Horen; High Imperial: Orenii) is the current ruling family of the Holy Orenian Empire from whom the current Holy Orenian Emperor, John III, originates.
One of the most influential aristocratic families in history, the House of Horen claims direct patrilineal descent from Horen, the progenitor of the human race from whom they derive their name, and as a result claims to be the exclusive bloodline which can assert its divine right to rule over an undivided mankind. They ruled over the First Empire as well as the current Fifth Empire, and as a result have occupied the throne of humanity for cumulatively longer than any other house, as well as fielding the most kings and emperors of any family.
Thought to be extinct within Oren in regards to the main Imperial line with the death of William I, the house experienced a resurgence after the Aeldin-born John Frederick Horen claimed his birthright lost almost a hundred years earlier, taking the crown of man and reforming the Holy Orenian Empire in 1526. This event would be known as the Horen Restoration.
