The House d'Arkent is an Orenian noble household, originating from the bastard son of Emperor Joseph I. The House would be founded by his firstborn son, John d'Arkent and later his wife, Vespira Helane.
History
House d'Arkent stems from the line of John d'Arkent, Duke of Sunholdt, the bastard son of Emperor Joseph I of Oren. The house was affirmed upon the legitimisation of John I, and named after the province of his birthplace, Arkent - Aeldin.
The House d’Arkent pride themselves on their industriousness, and respect merit and success above old noble names and blood. It is common to hear a d’Arkent disregard traditional noble etiquettes and marriage practices in favor of pragmatism. This is likely spawned of John d’Arkent’s personal disdain for such etiquettes, being born a bastard and unloved son of Joseph of Marna.
It is common that the children and wards of House d’Arkent make competitions out of their goals. This fire of ambition and constant need to outdo each other come second only to an absolute respect for the family, and the desire to keep it safe and healthy. They consider their successes a gift, both from their family, and to it.
The House Words, “queti tempus,” translated to “no time to rest,” were chosen by John d’Arkent in his youth. Ironically, the flexio words can also be translated to “time to quit,” a veiled jab at the less successful.
Titles
Duchy of Sunholdt
A titular title gifted to John d’Arkent by the Emperor Peter III for his undying service and lengthy tenures to the Empire. It has little historical significance besides the name being barely mentioned in Courlandic titles in some historical records.
Barony of Selm
A landed title, created for and given to John d’Arkent by the Emperor Alexander I during John’s tenure as Archchancellor. It rests on the riverbanks of the River Ari, just across the river from the walls of Helena.
It boasts Selm Palace, designed by Daniel Louis d’Arkent with assistance from his sister, Mary Philippa, and nominal assistance from the rest of the family. Selm also boasts expansive gardens, artwork, facilities,and is very much one of the finest pieces of architecture in recent memory.
