The House Viromaro is the current reigning royal house of Kythira, which was established during the First Era by then-patriarch Squarepantstoo Viromaro.

Although originally the largest noble house of Minecraftia, it today is reduced to only one living member, making the House near-extinct.

Rise

Originally Lords of the Spawnlands, the Viromaro family's fortunes would soon soar when Lord Coetzeeclan Viromaro moved out of the Spawnlands into the King's Mountains, where he constructed a small stone-house which would be the foundation of the new Kingdom of Kythira. With their new-found status of royalty the Viromaros became prominent in both the Spawnlands, with a dominating treehouse and several other large properties, as well as the ever expanding new Kingdom.

The Viromaro dynasty's rise was halted after their defeat during the War of Two Kings. Much of their wealth had been hoarded and evacuated from the Kingdom's capital, but has been lost ever since.

Members

Squarepantstoo Viromaro:

Lord Squarepantstoo spend most of his life living in the Spawnlands. He lived in a large tree house, on the spot where today Hotel Oldspawn is located. During the Third Era, Emperor Coetzeeclan granted him his own tower in Castle Fuertera. Wanting to establish a land of his own however, Lord Squarepantstoo moved into the Narrow Sea, where he build a large artificial island on top of an ancient Redstonian colony. During a series of extraordinary great storms, this island-state however fell into the Sea, and Lord Squarepantstoo was never seen again.

Poppedyn Viromaro:

Lady Poppedyn Viromaro spend all of her life living in the Spawnlands, being financially supported by Lord Squarepantstoo. A true Viromaro, she would spend much of her days constructing lavish villas, the greatest of which would later be levelled, and the town of Golden-Grove near Oldspawn was built on top of it. Lady Poppedyn went missing during the Great Grief, which hit Oldspawn the worst, and is presumed dead.

Coetzeeclan Viromaro:

Emperor Coetzeeclan Viromaro is the current patriarch of the House of Viromaro. He is a man with black hair, brown eyes and a beard, who is usually seen with either his red military uniform or his white-purple imperial robes. He barely involves himself with politics anymore, preferring to surround himself with luxury in one of his many palaces.

Distant relatives:

Borous von Dragestein:

Kaiser Borous von Dragestein is a distant family member of Emperor Coetzeeclan Viromaro. During the early Third Era the Isle of Dorwall and all lands east of the Narrow Sea were granted to Lord Dragestein in exchange for Castle Blackwater near Oldspawn. Due to their relative age, Kaiser Borous was expected to legally inherit the Kythiran throne after the Viromaro Dynasty would end. Seeking to prevent this, Coetzeeclan Viromaro made the Von Roterstein family Princes of Kythira and heirs to the throne. The Dragestein family are however expected to inherit all the Viromaro Estates and wealth if the House goes extinct.

Reputation

Although originally a House of average wealth and influence, the Viromaros became increasingly powerful after the Kingdom of Kythira was established. King Coetzeeclan especially would establish lavish decorations for his court, building the largest room in the world up to that point as his throne room.

During his reign as Emperor of Kythira from the Fourth Era onward however their reputation shifted heavily. Although they consider themselves the saviors of Minecraftia they would soon become known for their greed, building palaces and castle all across Kythira and moving funds from the Kythiran Treasury into their own accounts to enrich themselves even further.

At the same time Emperor Coetzeeclan began a policy of appeasement with the Von Roterstein family, allowing them to usurp more and more power in both the Empire and the Golden Province of Ardoragh in particular, allowing the continued unity of the Empire to become less and less certain.
