History

Arcas

The Hope Family has existed for many years, finding its origins in Reza, Haense when Finn Hope I arrived after his parents were brutally murdered. Over time, Finn grew to love the people in the Royal Capital and would start his career in the army. Slowly but surely, he worked his way up the ranks to Armiger. The man also established himself as a Chef, working many years until becoming the Royal Sous-Chef, serving as the second in command below the Royal Chef, Hogo Bojo I. Finn also worked as a port time Doctor in the clinic. All of these varies assortments of activities spread the Hope name throughout the Capital and the surrounding area, establishing itself as a Haeseni commoner house. During the expedition trip to Athera from Arcas, Finn perished in the water. He would be succeeded by Tom Hope I after hearing the news of his fathers passing. Tom Hope was devastated after hearing of his Fathers passing and turned to religion to cope with his loss. Using the title inherited by his Father, the Fire Lord of Curonia, he worked hard and eventually convinced his fellow Lords to ascend him to Interim Leader of the Fire Church. He served as the Leader for a brief few year, during which he conducted several rituals and focused heavily on the spiritualistic and sacrificial parts of the religion. He would also bare several illegitimate children during this time, boosting the houses numbers but causing scrutiny from his peers. After many years of leading the family, Tom passed away and was succeeded by Silvius I. Silvius wanted to reform the families image and so he moved to Providence, the Imperial Capital of the Holy Orenian Empire. There he met the love of his life, Edith Garnet, they quickly fell in love and married, having twin children only two years later. Silvius had a strong sense of family and duty and would spend lots of time with them. He was so dedicated to them that he considered giving up his titles in the Fire Church and switching his religion as it was tearing his family apart. After a few short years as the 3rd Patriarch of the house, he decided to abdicate as Head of his family to his spouse as he believed that she would be a better leader then him since he was constantly conflicted in his decisions. So Edith I took over as Matriarch of the family. A few years after, Silvius disappeared one day mysteriously and later declared dead.

Edith became the first Matriarch of the Hope Family leading it for a staggering twenty years now. She’s brought many changes making the family less reliant on war and hoping to bring it to Canonism along with becoming a business family. These things have thus far worked well for the Hope Family as they’ve owned a small Bistro on Helvets Street in Providence for two decades now. In the wake of the loss of many members of the Hope Family she has taken it on herself to renew her family by finding lost members of it to bring them back home to Providence.
