The Obsidian Order
The solemn duty of the Obsidian Order is to safeguard House Kimura, extending its vigilant protection not only to the esteemed residents within the Estate but also to the expansive territory it oversees. Comprising a cadre of highly trained guardians, the Order's unwavering commitment transcends mere defensive measures; it is a sworn dedication to provide assistance to allies and those in need during moments of adversity. Though their emphasis lies prominently on the PvP realm, the Order equally dedicates itself to aiding others in PvE endeavors. As both the shield and the sword of the Gilded House, they stand poised to undertake whatever measures necessary to extend their benevolent assistance to those who require it.
House Kimura
House Kimura, with its roots tracing back to Old Verra and its role as a merchant house in the Aelan empire, later resettled in Sanctus, evolving into a prosperous gilded house. Over centuries, House Kimura expanded its influence through strategic investments and alliances with other families, solidifying its bloodline. Despite some questionable unions, the household remains predominantly Vaelune. As a mercantile household, House Kimura excels in employing and training diverse merchants, with family members showcasing exceptional negotiation skills and attention to detail in their daily lives. The family's blood relations are determined through the father's line, and adherence to a partial Vaelune bloodline is a requirement for all members, including siblings, aunts/uncles, bastards, and cousins. The staff working for House Kimura faces unique responsibilities, ranging from household servants to advisors or ambassadors representing the House, reflecting the diverse needs of this influential family.
The Gilded Ventures
In the ancient world of Verra, the flourishing mercantile guild Phoenix Antiquities birthed Gilded Ventures, only to face a devastating external force that led to an unforeseen war, shattering the unity within Phoenix Antiquities. Amidst the conflict between Aelan Societies and Pyrain, a profound schism emerged, affecting even the esteemed Phoenix Antiquities. Gilded Ventures, formed by Pyrain individuals from the original guild, embarked on an audacious venture after avoiding direct confrontation with Phoenix Antiquities. Capitalizing on their core strengths, Gilded Ventures pursued knowledge, preserved the past, and amassed reliquaries. Even after parting ways, the indomitable mercantile spirit persisted within them. With unwavering determination, they fostered idea exchange, upheld their guiding principles, and ventured into uncharted territories, laying the foundation for a prosperous future. As hostilities intensified, Verra bore the scars of conflict, but Gilded Ventures, undeterred by risks, sought to preserve the past amidst destruction, valiantly safeguarding ancient wisdom and traditions.
