User:Diligence/Yellow Monarchy

The Order of the Yellow Monarchy was a group of families that seeked to keep the lands of Elona permanently under their control. The Order were largely successful in the later years of the Primeval Monarchy, but the Scarab Plague decimated them. Many of the families still survive, and some still pass down knowledge of when they were royalty, but for the most part, the families are unaware of their blue blood.

Aubelsong
A family line that can be traced back to the times of the Primeval Kings. The last Aubelsong on the throne was Augoeide Aubelsong.

Castaigne
During the reign of this family, the family name was written "Kostani". It was Tyrianised when the remaining members of the family fled to Ascalon during the time of the Scarab Plague. The last Castaigne on the throne was Alepelifa Kostani.

Roi
The Roi family were NOT part of the Primeval Monarchy -- they surfaced during the Pretender Wars, claiming to be part of the Castaigne family. They were successful in this endeavour, as they forged documents and heirlooms of the Castaignes and managed to convince many that they were of the Order of the Yellow Monarchy. Their greatest success was the theft of the Pallid Mask, which was kept in the hands of the last family of the Order who were on the throne -- this being the Castaignes. The last Roi on the throne was Yuane Roi, although she was killed after three days.
