About

The House of Crépuscule was founded in 540 years Before the Founding of Cookesland in the Land of Cookborough. Emperor Devorian I and His descendants ruled the land justly and fairly. Then one day two twin princes, Rostus and Retis, each claimed the throne for himself and Cookborough fell into civil war.

This event later became known as the War of the Islands, which totally devastated Cookborough and destroyed the original capital city, Altomare. Retis, the younger of the two was defeated and went to live in Aurania-Shifre, where he overthrew the weak monarchy and became the first Emperor of Aurania-Shifre. The Family is therefor split into two smaller familys, The House of Rhota (Cookborough and The House of Ryoti (Aurania-Shifre). The Two Branches are quite close and have made up over the centuries.
