House Eligius

House Eligius is a noble house of Silenus whose loyalty to House Sardassi has allotted them both a powerful alliance with the Sardassi Empire, and independence.

History

Hardy and secluded Mountaineers had made up the population of Curia Aurea(Location), a small tribal hamlet settled within the highlands in Sardassia by only a few poor families. House Eligius would secure themselves as de facto rulers, as well as place Curia Aurea on the map after discovering a gold vein in the family-owned mine. Wealth generated from their affluent mine would quickly transform the mountainous hamlet into a bustling village of laborers, merchants, and goldsmiths. The rich gold deposits that laid within the soil and mountains now ruled by Eligius provided prestige, manpower, and influence over nearby territories.
Upon discovery the discovery of gold within their lands, other smaller noble families and nearby villages had sought to usurp Eligius's rule and instead take the profits of the mines for themselves. Possessing a smaller domain and less manpower than some of the larger villages and city-states, Eligius had sought protection from local sellswords and mercenaries who would fill the empty ranks of their army. The mercenaries were often well-equipped and veterans of the many skirmishes that had taken place all across Sardassi, granting Eligius's army a powerful edge through adequate training and battle mastery.
