The Sigismund Family

Overview
The Sigismund Family is the current Imperial Family of the Empire of Iarvaeth Ultima and is a very old noble line from the city of Magna Tarion.

The Family is very old blood and can prove its history back several centuries to the times when Tarion still was a Kingdom. They were always a rich family and also ambitious, though they tended to follow the silent treaty between the noble families of Tarion and keep the balance. This balance was finally destroyed when Raphael Sigismund took the seat of First Minister and leaded the nation into war and then proclaimed an Empire and himself as Emperor. Now the Sigismund Family is the most powerful family in Iarvaeth.

The current head of the family is Emperor Uriel Sigismund.

The sigil of House Sigismund shows a golden griffin on red.

Today the Sigismund family is the ruling dynasty of the Empire of Iarvaeth Ultima, an Empire which was forged by Raphael Sigismund and now ended it 56 years longing war to unite all of Iarvaeth. He himself passed after 33 years of reign at the age of 65. Now his son took the imperial crown and is also head of the the house. Uriel Sigismund finished the war and now rules on his throne in Magna Tarion. The family fulfills several duties and thanks to the relative large amount of relatives, the Empires institutions can be be overwatched by the dynasty itself.
