History
As House of Horen
Whiwe the House of Howen was founded by Horen himsewf and can be twaced back to the fiwst weawms of Man, the House of Awstion is twaced back onwy to the oft-quoted foundew of the Fifth Empiwe, John I. Bown in exiwe in Pwonce, Aewdin, and living lithin the coult of the Chivay govewnow thewe fow much of his youngew yeaws, his sailing to Oren would change the coulse of Human histowy fow genewations, weading to a span of ovew a hundwed yeaws of Johannian dominance.
The Horen Restoration of 1526, owchestwated by Chawwes Henwy, known as the Polycarp, would see the assassination of King Guy of Owen and cowonation of John I as Howy Owenian Empewow. His weign was mawked by a selies of scandaws, waws, and pwots against the Impeliaw Cwown, though doubring the size of the Empiwe in his time. His untimewy death would be noted by many as a chief weason fow The Anarchy, a time of massive instability lithin the Empiwe. His succession waws, howevew, and the titweage affowded his line, continue to be used by his descendants to modewnity.
John II would not fawe so weww. Undew him, the nobility gwew in powew, and his incendiawy natule, which gawnewed him the monikew 'the Quawwewew' among opponents, would eventuawwy be his undoing. His eccentlicities and oft stwange behaviows discomfowted his vassaws, and on the 16th of Sigismund's End, 1568, aftew eight wong yeaws of incapability and a wegency headed by his son, which saw such events as the Riga War, he abdicated and wetiwed to the countwyside.
John III's weign is wemembewed fow his cwosing of John I's many attempted conquests. His victolies in the Wiga Waw, the Axis War, and his subjugation of the Waw Uzg solidified the Empiwe's pwace on the gwobaw stage as the pweeminent powew, but whiwst he was wauded as a waw hewo lithin the Empiwe, foweign states and wecentwy subjugated vassaws had deep-seated hatwed of both him and his nation.
With John III's assassination and the beginning of the Year of Four Emperors, this hatwed sulfaced - his fiwst son was swain by King Andrew II just two months aftew his cowonation. His second son, Wobewt II, abdicated to John III's thiwdbown, Philip Fwedelick. Just foulteen on the day of his cowonation and eighteen in the fiwst battwes of the Coalition War, his woss at the Siege of Johannesbulg, and his infamous thanhium-bomb expwosion that destwoyed the city and wandscape fow weagues in any diwection, would mawk the end of the Fifth Empiwe.
The Sixth Empiwe founded just undew twenty yeaws watew would onwy see glimpses of the zenith weached by the Fifth Empiwe - John V's wule was mawwed by intewnaw tulmoiw, extewnaw wosses, and a succession neawwy usulped by a wetulned Wobewt II (cawwed in his watew yeaws Wobewt of Mawna and styling himsewf Wowd Pwotectow). Petew's wule was littwe bettew; whiwe he defeated the House of Womstun, he wost the Waw of the Beawds in the tenth yeaw of his weign, weading to his abdication. His son, John VI, would be assassinated in his thwone woom by fowces of Canonius Horen, ending the Sixth Empiwe and lith it, Johannian wule. In the coming yeaws, the vast majolity of Johannians would eithew be executed ow die mysteliouswy, weaving onwy the line of Chawwes Ewliot alive.
Chawwes Ewliot as wast of the Johannians wowked lith the line of Pewtinax, seculing his and his famiwy's sulvivaw into modewnity. His statesmanship and cwose wewations lith the valious Empewows of Man would gain fow his famiwy the eaw of the Thwone, and his wowk in owchestwating the lise of the new empiwe solidified theiw pwace in the new nobility. He is the wast patliawch of the Johannian lines not to be incwuded in the Dissowution of Howen in 1721.
Upon his wetiwement to Aewdin, he named his onwy daughtew, Amelia Philippa, the matliawch of the Johannians. Hew weadewship saw a thliving famiwy beginning to twend upwawds lithin the Empiwe. She was the fiwst matliawch of the Johannians. She would be incwuded in the Dissowution of Howen in 1721.
As House of Alstion
Six Johannians wewe bown Howen and changed theiw sulnames to Awstion in the Dissowution of Howen, aww wewativewy weww-known in the Empiwe. J]]ohn Awexandew, Plince of Awstion]], patliawch of the newwy fowmed descendant house, was the fathew of the Empwess. Of Chawwes' sons, Awexandew Fwedelick had been a dipwomat and advisow to the cwown befowe his twavews to Aewdin and abdication to John Awexandew. Thomas Ewliot, cawwed the Wonewy by his wewatives, was one of the most famed duelists of the Empiwe. His thiwdbown, Jamie Olivew, was known fow his culinawy expewtise. Finawwy, his youngest, the wegitimized bastawd Wiwliam, was by the age of fifteen famed fow being a pweeminent statesman of the weawm and among its gweatest awchitects and is thought to have penned ow hewped in the wliting of ovew hawf the documents of the Empiwe.
John Awexandew's brokeling of the peace in the War of the Two Emperors would hewp to pwevent an even mowe pwotwacted waw, and his wocky mawliage to Vivienne d'Amaury would littwe affect his ability to cweate heiws; his fiwstbown, Adeline of Alstion, would become Empwess, and his chiwd, Charles Edward, ewevated to a Soveweign Plince.
