Claudians

The Claudians are a line descendant of the first peers within the House of Britannicus - founded in 32 A.F - whom absorbed the lines of the Olybrians, Justinians, and Servians. Beholden as the line which brought peace to the province of Augustaminca, the Claudians are held in the highest regards and are often associated with the supreme rulership of the House of Britannicus.

Formation
In the summer of 43 A.F, shortly after the D'lanastion Monarchy had first established itself as a minor ruling house (prior-to the Battle of a Thousand Crests), the Claudians were formed with the birth of Ragnar D'lanastion, a son of Britannicus D'lanastion II. Ragnar, a hopeful and ambitious lad, took the surname "Claudian" following his expansion of D'lanastion territory from the northernmost area of the Northern Quel'Thalas towards the southwest into what is today known as Praevalita. Having established the city of Claudas, Ragnar was formally knighted by his father and renamed 'Claudian' as to preserve his name and the achievement which he had brought to the - at the time - small noble house. From thereon, each son after him was appropriately named 'Claudian', or a variation thereof, in order to properly maintain the namesake which their forefathers had built for them in years prior.
