  :Dantes Family  
  The Dantes bloodline has been passed on from the royal count of Han. Those who have done a great deed for the royal Han count were dubbed the family name of Dantes. Those who have the Dantes name remain with the Dantes name, even when married.

The count from han suffered from an unknown disease for many years after the family name was granted. On his death bed, he approached Jisong's father and requested that he find "Those who represent the values I stood for through my life" and continue on the blood line. Since he had no hiers, He looked at Jisong's father as a son for the latter years of his life. Jisong continued this when he came to these kingdoms. After he told me this story before returning to Han, I was overwhelmed. I decided that his memory must be preserved, and I would take it upon myself to do this.

While Tyania and Jisong originated in Han, they later moved to the kingdoms we know today as Buya, Nagnang, and Kugnae. Ty and Ji, both related by true blood bear the name of Dantes from their father's great deed to the royal count. Today the family is head by Rubi, Tyania's husband. When Rubi and Tyania wed, Rubi took on the royal name of Dantes -- keeping Tyania and Jisong's father's honor alive. Although they later divorced after Rubi's leave of these kingdoms, he retained the Dantes name. He later married Denae of the Xue bloodline, who is now know an Denae Dantes-Xue. Rubi also took the oath to enter the Xue bloodline, gaining the name Rubi Dantes-Xue.

Bearing the name of Dantes also requires you to act like those who have been invited into the Dantes family. A Dantes member must hold the values of determination, dedication, and competitiveness. The history of the values dates back to many Yuri's ago, when Count Dantes defeated another count in battle. Count Dantes was a firm believer in the power that comes from unifying his brethren, creating an unstoppable force that defended the royal family of Han for generations. The Dantes name has been known for superior determination throughout the lands.

The family has been through the many trials and tribulations, however the Dantes family has always come out on top. Rubi's cousin PrimePoet, and PrimePoet's brother - NeonBlazer have also taken on the Dantes name as they became very close to Rubi when Rubi's parents were killed in the war.. Gracey, Primepoet's wife also took on the name Dantes with Prime's wishes.
