Choiveron Family of Asios

The Choiverons are the Royal Family of the country of Choque on Asios. The current monarch is King Urien Choiveron IV. They are made up almost entirely of vampires, and are known for training powerful Transfiguration and Conjuration sorcerers within the family.

The Choiveron family are close allies with the Royal Family of Umar, and Prince Urien Choiveron V and his wife Princess Alix Jacquinot-Choiveron often visit the country as diplomats.

History
The Choiverons have ruled Choque for 824 years, with the reign of Godefroy Choiveron.

Choiveron came to rule with the help of a spy of the dragon king, King Abyrashi, who was infamous to his subjects for being tyrannical and unjust. Choque had a population majority of vampires, yet under King Abyrashi they were heavily discriminated against along with the other human-like races of the country, satyrs. Because of this, satyrs along with vampires supported the rise of Choiveron.

The Choque Revolutionary War, satyrs and vampires versus dragons, lasted two years until the death of Abyrashi and his heirs. Choiveron became king, and banished dragons who had fought against him from Choque. They were only allowed to return two hundred years later.

Throughout Choiveron rule, Choque rose in influence across the continent of Asios as well as the rest of the world. There had been unpleasant rulers during the 800 years of family rule, but they had never been overthrown despite a number of attempts.



In Character
Prince Urien is a stoic, charismatic man. As the heir to the throne, he is well-versed in diplomacy, empathy and understanding the needs of the common man. However he has little to no sense of humor, and has a disdain for a number of more "animalistic" races such as orcs, nagas, and dragons though while in the presence of one he is adept at being civil and fair.

Princess Alix shares her husband's lack of humor and dislike for orcs, nagas and dragons. However, unlike Urien she is not as great at hiding it. She is also more snobbish towards the poor, having been groomed and selected to be married into royalty since birth and knowing nothing outside of that lifestyle. She is definitely less favorable than Urien, but she is highly intelligent and strategic. While Urien is a better diplomat when it comes to treaties and trade, Alix is a better diplomat with alliances, enemies and war.
