History

Before their arrival to the shores of Almaris, the House von Reuss lived a life of guarding pilgrims along the roads to holy sites around Aeldin as well as acting as mercenaries to the highest bidder. Not long after their return to the lands of the descendants, they worked posthaste to find land to call home and began gathering friends and comrades to follow them to this new homeland.

These wayward sons and daughters made their way all across Almaris before establishing their home of Velen. As the gates of their newly established colony opened, Leopold von Reuss officially started his revitalization of his pious company of men and women that would hold no loyalties besides to him and coin.

In the years following the founding of Velen, the hamlet turned into a bustling colony and bastion of the faith in the western reaches of the continent. Upon reading missives of a call to arms by the Holy Pontiff, Pontian IV, Velen answered the call and joined their fellow pious brethren on the roads to defeat this nefarious threat to the flock of the faith. As the patrols and crusade went on Velen spoke and connected with their fellow man and took what they learned back home.

These connections and talks would lead to their reforms of the company and Velen as a whole in 1890. Leopold brought forth his vision that he worked tirelessly with his wife and consort, Ravenna to complete these reforms. As they came to a close and were announced at the Velenic Diet, the people of Velen and the House of Reuss were now set on a path to becoming a functioning state rather than a mere colony.
