"On guard till the end..." The Herennius family of Ar was first represented in Minus by Tyrios Herennius who was sent out of Cosian occupied Ar during the early days of Cimber's presence in the town with the expectation he'd simply fade away into anonymity on account of his father's embarrassment at having a dwarf for a son. Instead, Tyrios petitioned to join the Caste of Scribes in Minus where after he became the Pay Master of the Town Guard then under the command of Cimber who had been installed as the Captain of the Guard after beating the previous Captain in a brawl that left the man too badly injured to resume his duties. As it became obvious that the Cosian occupiers in the City of Ar were turning their attentions toward Minus which controlled valuable sa-tarna supplies and other resources in the Verl River Valley, Tyrios, along with the backing of House Herennius in the City of Ar, engineered Cimber's entry into the Warrior Caste after the Siege of 2012 and elected him as a candidate for the post of Administrator of Minus which at that time was a position still decided by The Central Cylinder of Ar on account of the town's status as a tributary. Knowing the Cosian factions and their Arian conspirators in the Central Cylinder only agreed to Cimber's election as Administrator with the hope of using his reputation and foreign status later on to create dissent among the local population in both Ar and the river valley, Tyrios left the Town Guard to assist the newly elected Administrator navigate the political landscape of his new post. All the while he and Cimber collaborated in various ways to prevent the City of Ar and it's corruption from getting a strong foothold in the town. Eventually, as time wore on, other members of House Herennius made their way to Minus with Tyrios' cousin Sextus arriving to use the town as his base of operations while searching out clues and information as to Marlenus' whereabouts, all while also assisting his cousin in safe guarding the town from various plots and conspiracies threatening to spill into Minus from neighbouring Ar. Later on as the climate in Ar turned more dire and uncertain Tyrios was joined by his sister Kleio who was sent to the town by their father as a means of keeping her safe and out of the hands of political rivals and emboldened enemies in Ar circling House Herennius. Sextus' father, Marcus Herennius, also made a brief appearance to counsel his son in Tyrios' absence (he was taken prisoner and held in Ar), and further assisted Minus during the attack by Treve and the traitorous faction calling itself the Sons of Ar seeking retribution against Minus for declaring independence from the City of Ar, and also for killing of Gnaeus Domitius Calvinus sent to Minus as Magistrate and to reclaim the town as a tributary of Ar. More recently as Cimber has regained control and leadership of Minus, House Herennius had turned its attentions to hunting down traitors who aided Cos' occupation of the City of Ar with Tyrios focusing his efforts on expanding a notable spy network while also tracking down stolen artwork and cultural treasures of Ar looted by Cos and it's mercenaries during the Occupation. This mission of recovery is one of patriotic duty for Tyrios but also with the understanding any success will reflect well on Minus (as well House Herennius) while also boosting the morale of the people. Although native born Arians House Herennius is proving to be a loyal supporter of Cimber and determined ally of Minus knowing that the town, although small compared to the glory of Ar, is vital to the city's survival as everything eventually comes down to resources. After all control of the sa-tarna supply equates to considerable power and influence in the City of Ar which remains dependent upon it. (A Herennius never does anything without some personal gain after all!) |
