Avidius

From Graal Military Wiki

Overview

The name Avidius was meant to be a second name for my previous name Mevarus—Mevarus Avidius. This was when the Roman-themed guilds started to show up and I have been longing to change my name to something else anyway. It took several months before I 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 we exchanged family names to bind ourselves together. This later proved to be a waste of time and we simply dropped the others' names as time went on.

The name was later given to several people as well but I simply revoked the name after I realized how careless I have been with the name I associated with myself. I then decided to give it to people who have responsibly and outstandingly served me or the guilds I helped lead. This has been the practice since 2016 and there are only a couple members of Gens Avidia.

As much as possible, I do refrain from directly making family members and let it be determined through marriage and adoption. There are cases, such as that of Laken and Basel, that I personally ask people to join because of their merits and service.

2020

Avidius was kept as a behind-the-scene family as certain families (such as Vaughn) dominated my publicity. Some time after summer, Ajax Kaage, one of my closest and most loyal lords, approached me 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, I implicitly made Ajax acting lord of the house as I have not really used it in any meaningful way (Given that my legitimacy to the Aurean throne lies on me being the patriarch of the Imperial House of Vaughn). 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 (Most of whom are loyal Aureans) were adopted into the family and it now makes up a bulk of Montecon's officer corps.

Merovech

Merovech is a cadet branch of Gens Avidia for Ol' West and was used in Marseille as its ruling family. As a family solely for the my Ol' West endeavors, it is an entirely different tree from its Classic counterpart. There was also a period when Merovech was renamed to Rothstein for a company guild but I changed it back to the former anyway. Those granted the Merovech name kept both Merovech and Rothstein while those granted the name Rothstein were not given permission to use Merovech, except for Jiub/Abram.
