House Walt

History
House Walt originally began as hunters and merchants, but in 1930, the family's ambition for greatness led them into gambling their wealth for large expeditions into the Shadowlands.  After many years and many attempts, they managed to develop land near the edge of the Shadow Lands into a safe place, and their expeditions brought back many exotic materials from beasts and rare alchemy materials.  Stationing themselves there, the Walts also fought off any beasts that decided to venture out of the Shadow Lands.  

Due to their success and contribution to Aphros, the Walt family was established as nobles in 1937 and was gifted the land that they had developed.  From then on, the Walts continued to serve Aphros and support them through the trade of exotic goods and by protecting the eastern borders from the Shadow Lands.  Though, their risky expeditions into the Shadow Lands became much less frequent, smaller expeditions to avoid losing everything while building their strength.

With the Shadow Lands and nearby monsters being the focus of the Walt family, the growth of the family's power was slow, requiring time to recover from expeditions.  It also became tough for Aphros's new trends and culture to travel to the Walt territory, due to low traffic into the area, leading them to be isolated.  However, their trade of exotic goods granted them a large return for their efforts.

Compared to the main noble families of Aphros, the Walt's origins might be considered almost countryside to most, leading to bad rumors spreading in areas far away from their territory, such as them being uneducated or weak backwater nobles.  In 1995, Sled Walt, the third generation leader of House Walt and Brick's father, became angered by these rumors when visiting the other areas of Aphros and wanted to show the family's might by reestablishing the family's large expeditions into the Shadow Lands.

When the Floor 124 calamity happened in 1998, Sled Walt had been out personally leading a large expedition that he had painstakingly prepared into the Shadowlands.  With natural disasters occurring due to the unstable magic energy from the tower, the expedition party was doomed to fail and was wiped out, save for a few survivors who managed to report back to the family.  Unfortunately, Sled Walt perished in the expedition, leaving his 17 year old son, Brick Walt, to lead the weakened family and heavily damaged territory as the fourth generation leader.

At the year 2000, Brick Walt is now 19 years old, and though he may be a somewhat weak leader, he managed to get the territory back into a stable state, though somewhat far from what it was before his father's unfortunate expedition.


A New Millennium
At the year 2004 AC, Brick Walt had been captured by the Greathive during a battle in defense of Aphros's borders and is presumed to be dead. As the next in line, Orexius Walt is now the current Head of House Walt.

At the latter end of 2004 AC, Orexius Walt had been executed.


Race and Appearance
The Walt Family mainly consist of Humans. Their hair color tends to be black, brown, or red; however, rarely other hair colors can appear.

Uniform
The main uniform of the Walt Family is split into two types, a dark purple coat that is close to the color black and a pale purple coat that is close to the color white.  The dark purple is used for those in the family who work in the territory near the Shadow Lands.  The lighter variant is used for those who travel outside of the territory.


Strengths of the Walt Family
Adventurous Spirit:  Most Walts wish to venture out into the world and travel to both explored and unexplored areas, making new experiences and creating a name for themself.

Alchemy: Due to the expeditions into the Shadow Lands, alchemy is a highly desired skill in order to make use of the exotic materials.  To cut on costs, the Walt family trains an alchemist to avoid importing potions, as many potions may be used to defend against and explore the Shadow Lands.

Artificing: Due to the expeditions into the Shadow Lands, artificing is a highly desired skill in order to make use of the exotic beast materials and other materials.

Leadership
The successor of the Walt House is based on whoever is the firstborn of current leader.  In the result of the successor perishing, the next in line would be the second born, etc.  If there are no children of the current leader left and the current leader has perished, the new leader would be a sibling of the previous generation leader, etc.

From Branch Family to Main Family

Unsure of the current status of House Walt, with Brick Walt being killed, Orexius Walt being executed not long after, and with Dimitri Walt having been missing, there are rumors that a branch family of House Walt, one originating from Sled Walt's younger brother, will be heading to the Aphros capital sometime in 2005 AC in order to establish themselves as the new main family of House Walt, according to the rules of the House.

Whether or not their nobility remains with everything that has happened, however, depends on the Oracle.
