History

The House of Vyronov was ennobled in the year 1568 by John III, Emperor of the Holy Orenian Empire. Lerald of Norwick was granted the Barony of Astfield for his loyal service to the Duchy of Carnatia and the deeds of him and his progeny during both the Eighteen Years' War and the Riga War. Merely three years later he died during the journey from Vailor to Axios and with his death the title was passed to his firstborn son, Rasputin Vyronov. Rasputin swore his allegiance to House Barbanov and headed north with other Highlander houses to settle in the valley that would become the Duchy of Haense and later the Kingdom of Haense.

Rasputin Vyronov's issue would consist of two notable individuals. His firstborn would become the famous poet-knight, Ser Stanimar Vyronov, known for his stories that are still read to this day. The most famous of them being "The Trials of Ulric Tiberan", a collection of children stories all featuring the title character as protagonist. The stories are commonly used by Haeseni parents and teachers in schooling young children. They commonly feature virtues of loyalty, dedication, and humility. Numerous stock characters are used in the tales, such as the twin crowns ‘Alvin and Darren’, the greedy Sir de Viri, and his squire Enoch. He commonly uses ‘Soulstrung’, a bow and his signature weapon. His most famous story is the ‘Trial of the Dragon’, where he slays the frost wyrm Toruug. Rasputin's second son, Adolphus would later inherit his father's titles after he passed away. He's mostly known for participating in the first National Duma as candidate following the Greyspine Rebellion.

After Adolphus' death the House of Vyronov would not be as active in the politics of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska anymore, instead Jakob chose to withdraw and live a quiet live with his allies of the House of Baruch in the County of Ayr. His grandson, Lerald II, would later dive into Haeseni politics once again. This proved a succesful endeavour as he would serve the realm as Lord Regent after the former regent, Prince Georg Stannimar was killed by Renatian Dragon Knights during the War of the Two Emperors. Lerald II would be the one to lead negotiations that resulted in the treaty that ended this war. After his regency he would continue to serve Andrew III of Haense as Lord Palatine.

The family would later suffer through a lot of death after the passing of Lerald II's firstborn daughter then later himself, his firstborn son, nephew, and secondborn son. After so much death the family would be led by Robert I where he would continue his predecessors work on they Duchy though would do it by constructing new buildings and areas across the Vyronov land. Within a few years later, Robert I was put on trial for supposedly being part of a plot of murdering his eldest brother, Charles II, that was made up by a Baruch conspiracy that'd later lead to the whole family to suffer by losing its noble status in Haense. Robert later died to illness after a few days before his execution.
