House Theos

House Theos was a noble house of mostly aquatic dracons, and the ruling house of the Kingdom of Mithros during the Theos Dynasty, which lasted 278 years, from 8419 DC to 8697. During its existence, its hold was situated on the island of Galleon.

History

Origin

House Theos is descended from a renegade regiment of the Leviathanic Guard of the Aquantis Dominion, who fled north from the Aquantean Archipelago and settled on the island where they would build the city of Galleon.

Joining the Kingdom of Mithros

Unlike most of the other dracon-majority noble houses of Mithros, House Theos was never a member of the Free Dracon States, despite the timeframe of its establishment lining up with the other petty kingdoms who made them up. However, they petitioned to join the Kingdom of Mithros at its founding due to the ever-looming fear of retribution by the Dominion.

Ascent to the throne

Following the disastrous Battle of Merchant's Pass and the slaying of King Borom Tai IX in 8419, and the subsequent sacking of Marsham and taking of the Gray Marsh and a significant chunk of the eastern coast of Smoke Bay by the forces of the Chiropteran Realm, House Tai, being all but destroyed, was forced to abdicate the throne, ending the Tai Dynasty. Karon Theos. the leader of House Theos at the time, was chosen by the noble high council of the Kingdom to become the next Monarch of Mithros.
