Alleryan's are one of the oldest known people's of Anarkand, initially discovered by others in the 6th era, their roots trace back further. Alleryan males may not live as long as their female counterparts but they do have a strong vitality. They are usually driven by a determination to succeed and to prove themselves in various ways in the eyes of their women. The Kondelanin dynasty are Alleryan and currently rule over Tyrrius.

THE KONDELANINS

The Dynasty Behind the Velvet Curtain. For an entire Era, the Kondelanin family has ruled Tyrrius. Officially, they are described as guardians of faith; custodians of continuity and the chosen stewards of national destiny. History, however, tells a sharper story.


ORIGINS IN CRISIS

The Kondelanin did not begin as monarchs. They emerged during the political fragmentation that followed Tyrrius’ early consolidation struggles. The founding patriarch, Arven Kondelanin, positioned himself as a unifier during a period of economic instability and religious uncertainty. He aligned closely with the clergy of Lokato, promising protection of doctrine in exchange for political endorsement. It was a transaction disguised as destiny.


When Arven consolidated executive power, it was framed as temporary stabilization, but temporary lasted an Era...


THE ERA OF CONTROL

Over generations, the Kondelanin refined their grip.

They centralized wealth into palace controlled holdings. Key industries in Kavos were placed under “protective stewardship,” which in practice meant partial ownership by royal trusts. Trade tariffs were adjusted to ensure a steady stream of revenue into Laguna’s upper quarter.


While Tyrrius remained economically strong on paper, a disproportionate share of national wealth accumulated within palace vaults and affiliated religious institutions. This led to Dhandra’s poverty deepening whilst Laguna's palace got bigger. The family cultivated an image of austerity while quietly constructing private estates, offshore accounts, and exclusive investment councils shielded from public oversight.


RELIGION AS LEVERAGE

The Kondelanin’s most effective instrument was not the military. It was doctrine. By embedding themselves deeply within the authority structure of the VeraKore in Lokato, they framed political dissent as spiritual deviation. Calls for rapid modernization were described as threats to cultural purity. Reformists were not jailed en masse, but they were marginalised, discredited, reassigned.


Progress was slowed not by open prohibition, but by procedural suffocation. Technological initiatives that might decentralize power were delayed indefinitely. Educational curricula emphasised obedience and reverence for continuity. Independent economic actors found themselves entangled in licensing systems that quietly favoured palace aligned enterprises.


The result was elegant stagnation. Tyrrius did not collapse, it simply never accelerated.


THE WEALTH CONSOLIDATION

Over the past century, palace led holding companies expanded into aerospace contracts, mining exports, and defence procurement. Officially, these were national assets, unofficially, dividends flowed through layers of trusts controlled by the Kondelanin.


Infrastructure investment in Dhandra was repeatedly postponed due to “budgetary recalibration,” even as ceremonial renovations in Laguna continued uninterrupted. The wealth imbalance effectively became an open secret.


THE CURRENT GENERATION

The present head of the family, High Ongardian Malvek Kondelanin, maintains the public persona of solemn devotion. He speaks frequently of sacrifice and preservation. Critics however, note that under his leadership, modernization initiatives have slowed further. Restrictions on independent research have tightened and surveillance in urban centres has quietly expanded.


Malvek’s inner circle consists largely of family members occupying strategic posts in finance, defence oversight, and religious councils. Power rarely leaves the bloodline.
