History

Arcas

Back in the days of Arcas, the Mendez family was founded by Juan Mendez and his Son, Carlos Mendez. Soon after the settlement of Tierre Natal, Juan Mendez rose through the ranks to become a prominent member of Hyspian society and therefore set the groundwork for the future of the Mendez family in the years to come. The Mendez family solidified their rise to fame in the infamous Mendez-Gonzalez feud which was controversial throughout all of Hyspia.

Almaris

After the arrival of House Mendez to Almaris, things slowly started spiraling downhill for the Family. Resentment between Jerrito and Carlos Mendez began brewing, and Carlos' relations with his wife began turning sour. Soon, Carlos would be forced to exile from Hyspia after attempting an assassination on the baron of Osanora. He was therefore stripped of his titles by Antonio I of Hyspia and sent into exile. Jerrito Mendez was made the new lord as Carlos' son Fernando went missing with Carlos. Carlos returned after a year in exile with the Kvitravn Clan where he was exiled and branded by Norland, Carlos gained his titles back with the help of a close friend, the regent of Hyspia Francisco Altamirano. He immediately began work on reforming Hyspia into a less traditionalist state with Francisco Altamirano. He moved in with Peralien Mirthsense after the Kvitravns exiled him.
