History
Founding
The County of Helious was founded when Sir Jarad Munnel was granted Lordship in the form of a county within Elvenesse along with land. The orgional plan for the land was to build a small vacation home for the Munnel family. However, plans soon changed after the Grand Duchy of Balian, At the time the home of the Munnels, declared war on the Kingdom of Oren without consulting the peers of the realm which at the time included Jarad. Furious about this and not wishing to drag his family into another bloody war a meeting was held and the call was made to move the entire family to Elvenesse. What was once going to be a vacation home was expanded into a small village that a few members of Balian society also sick of war moved into. Two of the first residents of Helious besides the Munnels were Aldrych Gendik and Agatha Hope who played a big part in getting the county set up including harvesting crops, improving the roads, and, aiding in interior design.
Early Years
During the early stages of Helious there would be a lot of construction and people moving in, it was soon clear that a larger farm, additional housing, and a market square were all needed, the plans were made and construction began being completed within a years time. After its completion, a court would be held in order to explain a few things and reward those present. Among those rewarded was Agatha Hope who was given a Lordship within the county for her word with the wildlife and aiding in construction. As well as the Gendik-Kemonos family for aiding the family in the past. (wip)
