Motto: Blood and Gold
The House Viromaro originates from the Riverlands. It is one of the Great Houses of Minecraftia. They currently rule over the Kythiran Empire, and were the founders of the Kingdom of Kythira at the end of the First Era.
Having the wealth of the Kythiran Empire behind them, the Viromaro family is the richest in Minecraftia. The current patriarch of the family is Emperor Coetzeeclan Viromaro. His father, Squarepantstoo Viromaro disappeared in the Narrow Sea during the early Third Era, whilst his sister, Poppedijn Viromaro disappeared during the Great Grief. The Viromaro family has some blood ties with the Blackwater family, ranging back to the First Era. Recent conflicts such as the Dervich Incident have however strained this relationship between the two rulers.

House Roterstein

Ancestral home: The Red Keep
Motto: Progress through Destruction
The House Roterstein originates from the Riverlands. It is one of the Great Houses of Minecraftia. During the Second Era, the head of the House, Whazajottom, became a King when he founded Redstonia on the Peninsula of Peril. The House was, together with House Hurdræber, a primary cause of the Great Grief and, although Redstonia survived the Grief in full, the nation-state nevertheless eventually crumbled.
As the Third Era began, the brothers Corspin and Whazajottom Roterstein were offered to colonize the lands west of the Mediori Sea by Kythira, making Whazajottom the High-Lord of the new Golden Province of Ardoragh.
Today, the Roterstein family are one of the strongest families in Minecraftia, and with Whazajottom Roterstein becoming the Crown Prince of Kythira, they are considered by some to already be the most powerful family in the Kythiran Empire. They are also considered to be the third richest family of Minecraftia.
