:Ru-Arnet Family |
The family Ru-Arnet started with a tiny, close-knit family on the skirts of Hausson. They started as a blood family of five, wandering towns as a whole to make a living when times were tough, and the seasons grew more harsh. It was in late fall they came across a wonderful woman - a butcher by tradition - who took them in until they gathered provisions to build themselves a home. With the family establishing their culture and surroundings around waterways, from seas to ponds, they effectively built upon a village of their own. From then on, inhabitants from far and wide were welcomed with open arms, and taught the traditions of the village.
This was only the beginning of what had become of the family's values. From what started as an un-biased view of others grew to a compassion towards society; a clear understanding of the world around them. It almost became their family duty to sit and merely observe the public, ocassionally lending out an ear and conversing with strangers, who soon became friends and allies. An establishment with a sense of equality was added to our family values, and ultimately find the true sense of themselves and their soul-connection with the rest of the kingdoms. The family crest is pressed into our history, the first letter of each phase title spelling out Ihie: 'o:_ The third phase is Initiative, [:], the farther climb of understanding a culture-bound society, standing upon the firm base of Ihie's watch. To take the initiative is to apply other values into the strong family ones, and develop a new light in the mind, to enhance thinking, and to evaluate one's self more thoroughly. The last, and hardest phase to achieve is called Equality, [_], and the ones branded for their achievement are known as the "Stat-Equalit." As the family has learn to base themselves around the Pond Trigram, it is also the ceremony of "The Cleanse," dipping one's whole self into the village pond and re-emerging with a newer, fresher inner spirit. |
