'''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]].<ref name=HA:TACp11>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 11</ref>

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]].<ref name="Resurgence">[[Resurgence]]</ref>

==History==
The family has ancestral Hawaiian and Maori roots. <ref name=HAtACp17>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 17 "House Arano"</ref>

* House Sigil: Gold Great Cormorant on a red field.<ref name=HAtACp17/>
* House Colors: Red and black with gold trim.<ref name=HAtACp17/>
* House Motto: {{quote|''Without foresight or vision, the people will be lost.''<ref name=HAtACp17/>}}

===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.<ref name=HA:TACp11/>
===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.<ref name=HA:TACp11/>
===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 Aurigan Coalition|High Lady]] of the new nation.<ref name=HA:TACp11/> 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.<ref name=HAtACp17/>
