| Family Profile | |
| Title(s) | Count of Coromodir[1] |
| Affiliation | Aurigan Coalition |
House Arano was one of the seven noble families that form the Founding Council of the Aurigan Coalition, traditional rulers of Coromodir VI and the wider Aurigan Coalition.[2]
After the collapse of the coalition to infighting and disagreements among the noble families, all that remained was House Arano. With the aid of the Brotherhood of Randis the Aranos found a new home for their people to rebuild, Coromodir II.[3]
History
The family has ancestral Hawaiian and Maori roots. [4]
- House Sigil: Gold Great Cormorant on a red field.[4]
- House Colors: Red and black with gold trim.[4]
- House Motto:
| “ | Without foresight or vision, the people will be lost.[4] | ” |
Rulers of Coromodir
When the Taurian Concordat withdrew from the Coromodir system, Wiremu Arano became the new Governor and, with the support of House Espinosa, declared Coromodir independent.[2]
Aurigan Trade Partnership
In 2870, House Arano and House Espinosa sent diplomatic missions to the noble families of Guldra, Smithon, Itrom, and Tyrlon, proposing mutual defense and trade in the wake of rising piracy and lawlessness in the region. All agreed, and the Aurigan Trade Partnership was born. Wiremu Arano was the largest financial contributor, and thus was made executive of the new Trade Council.[2]
High Lady/Lord
At the start of the thirtieth century, Wiremu's daughter Keona Arano saw that the larger states were not going to return and reclaim their colonies as had originally been thought. She proposed the Aurigan Trade Partnership become an independent nation-state, the Aurigan Coalition. In 2910, she became High Lady of the new nation.[2] By tradition, House Arano is not part of the Founding Council, though the High Lord or Lady has authority to call meetings of that group and serves as chairman.[4]
