HOUSE INFORMATION
House Aeksyen
(a-ek-se-yen)

Information on House Aeksyen:
The House is one of the Noble Houses, yet most of what is known seems to be simple speculation rather than facts and truth. People have thought for many years that the House was just a bastardised form of House Targaryen. From most outsiders, this is the history that people seem to believe more than anything.

House Aeksyen started in the south, having been on the island of Morghon Iōrves since its beginning. The House was bred from the Targaryens breeding with their dragons, creating this weird breed of beasts who eventually evolved - or at least most of them did - into the current House. They created the island using their dragon’s fire and bringing boulders from Esoss to form it, and then stole from the forests in Sothoros to gain the lust and vast greenery. When the mutated dragons finally landed they stole people from all over to breed with, though the appearance in the Aeksyen people were a mix between looking like the Targaryens - with fair skin, pale hair, or purple eyes - or like what the dragon mutants looked like in humanoid form, with black hair and eyes and slightly darker skin.

As House Targaryen made themselves at home in the west the Aeksyen House had finally come to all look as though they were human, however it is still said that the dragon-bat like creatures still groam the island, hidden away deep in the many mountains. But as House Targaryen took Westeros House Aeksyen came from the island to help aid and serve the House of which they were born. But because at the time only the silvery haired and purple eyed ones were allowed to serve the House while any others would be forced to be servants to them. However there being a deep loyalty there the Aeksyens were just pleased to help them.

During the time that the Targaryens ruled they deemed House Aeksyen a Noble House. When the Targaryens were rebelled against and killed, they defended Targaryens until the very last and only a few fled to the island. From then on they mainly stayed on island but no one dares to venture to there, and should they the islanders will strike their ships down. Some believing that it is the mutated dragons that attack the ships.

House Traits:
House Aeksyen only has one trait found in a large amount of their House (and island) is similar to the “dragon dreams” that the Targaryens have but they are awake when they have vague premonitions. They are able to know when someone is in danger by the intense feeling that they get and only can see danger if they really try to be in touch with that side of themselves - it usually takes many years for this to happen.

House History:
House Aeksyen is far less grand as people make it out to be. The House originally started in the east when a large group of Targaryens went east farther back than anyone can truly remember. They found themselves breeding with the people from the Free Cities which created a mix of children, ranging from them looking exactly like a Targaryen, to them having only dark hair, eyes, and even darker skin, to a mix (dark hair yet light skin and dark eyes, dark skin and white hair and purple eyes, etc.). After only two generations then decided they wanted more out of their life so they gathered up their families - at least most of them - and set off where they found the island to which would become theirs. The island had only one tribe on it and they gave the tribe the option to either die or learn to serve them. It went without saying that the tribe fought against them and more than half died.

Since then House Aeksyen had made themselves comfortable on the island that they claimed as their own. This island remained their own and wasn’t a part of Westeros. In the years between then and the Targaryens ruling Westeros they remained pretty low-key. But when the Targaryens took over nearly half of House Aeksyen went to rule with their relatives, however what they thought would happen and what really did happen were two different things. Instead of them ruling by their sides they were trained as soldiers and usually were the ones who went out and did the tougher of jobs. Because of how they were treated and what the Aeksyens were forced to do people began to see them as being a cruel and horrid House despite being one of the Noble Houses.

Westeros came to fear the Aeksyens and because of this people did try to kill them more than others. This in turn caused them to have to put up their defences and keep out outsiders from their homeland. And when the Targaryens were rebelled against, they sent out all the Aeksyen soldiers to kill as many people as possible, causing the House to diminish in numbers. By this point less than half of House Aeksyen was on the island and only a handful of the soldiers managed to escape Westeros and survive. But as they fled so did four Targaryens, who then came to live on Morghon Iōrves. Yet they didn’t just live on Morghon Iōrves, rather they came and began to rule it in a hopes to one day go back to Westeros. However the Targaryen ways were noticeably different than the Aeksyen ways due their years on Essos.

House Aeksyen had started the practice of worshipping the God R'hllor since they came to the island so the Targaryen ways just didn’t go well with theirs nor did how they attempted to rule - at least with half of them. House Aeksyen was divided, the Targaryen supporters and the non-supporters. After many, many, many years of division a war finally broke out into full. The war remained a secret from everywhere else because they had done such a good job at keeping the outside world just that, outside. The remaining four Targaryens eventually were killed as was more than half of the remaining Aeksyens and inhabitants. Whilst this has been years ago, they are still trying to regain their numbers due to a few other groups of raiders coming and trying to take the island.
