The origins of the Aetris lineage stretch back further than the existence of the Isldar themselves, beginning with a sect of Dregodar cultists fleeing persecution from the Allorn Empire sometime around 450 BC. Upon reaching the continent of Ellador, these Nelfin travelers bore witness to the Crater of Creation and the Violet Dragons residing within it. They, like many of the predecessors to the Isldar race, were compelled to protect these Dragons―even as Allorn and Dwarven forces stormed the land to eradicate them centuries later.
Following the Scouring of Ellador in 94 BC, a pocket of the newly-created Isldar migrated westwards, eventually settling in a Spire City that came to be known as Luneya. The fortress was subjected to frequent external threats―primarily Dorkarthi raiding parties originating further west―leading to many of the hold's inhabitants to be trained as either Archon, or general soldiers. Those whose careers were not focused on combat took to being Wyvern tamers, spies, politicians, or even priests, watching over the snowscape from high above.

RECENT HISTORY
Those in Luneya remained adherents of Draconism over many centuries, though they had falsely believed that Frisit―the entity responsible for saving the Dregodar cultists from total annihilation―was actually a reincarnation of the Dragon Aurora. However, following events in 307 AC, the true identity of Frisit was exposed: a creature being puppeteered by an Ordial God known as the Glacial. The Aetris family, along with the inhabitants of Luneya as a whole, cast their faith in Frisit aside after discovering the truth, feeling great guilt for being victims of deception. A small minority, however, still regarded the Glacial as a savior worthy of worship―though those who willingly continued to praise an entity of Death were cast out of the family.
The events of the Frozen Choice in 310 AC further fractured the Aetris bloodline as the Isldar race became split between the Bene Vixit and the Bene Rexit, solidifying a seemingly irreparable religious division. Those who still reside in Luneya face not only conflict with the Sanguine, but now with the Death Isldar as well, forced to confront former family members on opposite sides of a war. Those who have spent recent years away from Islavaal, however, are more disconnected from the fractured state of their homeland, and are perhaps more willing to seek out means to make the Aetris family whole again.

Family Recruitment is currently | OPEN
A General Note
In-lore, the Aetris lineage is extensive, with scores of individuals having the Aetris name. The list of characters above only reflects played characters and any relevant NPCs. While some of the NPCs above are able to be played, they have predetermined lore and designs that I would like to be followed. You are heavily encouraged to invent your own character to add to the family instead, and I am more than willing to help you through that process. Virtually any character design is doable, and you do not even need to play an Isldar to be part of the family!
Recruitment Rules
» Conduct | Those who are interested in playing an Aetris family member should have a good roleplay etiquette, professional OOC conduct, and a decent understanding of MassiveCraft's lore. Those who display toxic or inappropriate behavior will be removed from the family.
» Reputation | In conjunction with the above, we must already be familiar with your roleplay. You are encouraged to roleplay around other Aetris characters before applying.
» Activity | There is no strict enforcement of activity on your character, but I would appreciate if some level of activity is maintained, even if they are only played once a month. I am not interested in adding new characters to the family for them to be shelved immediately after, and may prune them from the family page if that becomes the case.
