Avidius

History

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.

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.
