The [[Avidius|Avidius family]] is a house of members of the Graal Military Community, primarily those who are or were members of the [[Aurea|Aurean Empire]], especially under the reign of [[Nyl|Nylius Avidius]]. It boasts a diverse and highly-respected roster of family members, including Aurean emperors, senior community figures, and well-connected individuals. It has been a long-standing tradition for the family to have a proper family tree, stemming back to the original Mevarus Avidius.
 
Membership is severely limited. There are three primary ways of getting into the family: marriage, adoption, and offspring. For marriages, they are required to marry into the family or they will not be considered its members. For adoptions and offspring, they automatically qualify, provided that a fully-recognized member of the family is the one making the adoption or having the offspring.
 
It has been customary for members of the family to stay in the same guilds and groups or normally work for the benefit of the family even if they are in different ones, but this norm has been challenged recently with the fallouts between two rival factions of the community whose members were either directly part of or strongly affiliated with the family.
 
== Overview ==
The name Avidius was meant to be a second name for myNylius' previous name, Mevarus—Mevarus Avidius. This was when the Roman-themed guilds started to show up, and Ihe havewas been longinglooking to change myhis name to something else anywayfrom the one before that. It took several months before Ihe finally decided to use it as a family name.
 
The name was first given to Paw Vivre and Arno Kaage for a project known as "PAM", and wethey exchanged family names to ''bind ourselvesthemselves together''. ThisThe laterpartnership proved to be a waste of timefutile, and wethey simplylater dropped the others' names asand timemoved wenton onfrom the endeavor.
 
The name was later given to several people as well, but INylius simply revoked the name after Ihe realized how "careless" Ihe have beenwas with the name I associated with myself. IHe then decided to give it to people who have "responsibly and outstandingly" served mehim or the guilds Ihe helped lead. This has been the practice since 2016 andbut therehas aresince onlyexpanded ato coupleinclude membersthe offspring of Genssome senior family members, including some other Aurean Avidiaemperors.
 
'''Nyl''': "''As much as possible, I do refrain from directly making family members and let it be determined through marriage andor adoption. There are cases, such as that of Laken, Perseus, and Basel (Ajax), that I personally ask people to join because of their merits and service.''"
 
== 2020 ==
Avidius was kept as a behind-the-scenescenes family as certain families (such as Vaughn) dominated my publicity. Some timeSometime after summer, Ajax Kaage, one of myNyl's closest and most loyal lords, approached mehim and asked for my permission to join House Wexler under the banner of the Avidius family, which later became known as House Avidius. As this was the set up, IAjax was implicitly made Ajax acting lord of the house as INylius havehad notother reallyresponsibilities used it in any meaningful way (Given that my legitimacy to the Aurean throne lies on methen, being the patriarch of the Imperial[[Vaughn|Vaughn House of Vaughn)dynasty]]. House Avidius was later absorbed into Auro Roma.
 
After Auro Roma, Ajax again took up the banner of House Avidius and led a small group of Aurean loyalists to continue its civil society through Montecon. Several individuals (Mostmost of whom arewere loyal Aureans) were adopted into the family and it now makesmade up a bulk of Montecon's officer corps then.
