Contraire family
Our Glorious Rise to Power
The House of Contraire started with a barge ride and a dream. They are the family formerly known as Gazen'Molujan, and all members have been adopted under the Contraire Empire, except for Zithri who doesn't count.
When Lalouisa was a little girl growing up on her father's rooster farm, she discovered she had a penchant for mischief. One day she ventured to the big city called the Crossing with a dream of becoming the strongest barbarian in the land and opening a shop to serve her famous milkshakes and turkey legs. There she met a charming young lass named Contrejour. They immediately became besties sharing lollipops and occasionally dance partners a the local balls.
In the midst of the great war between the house Gazen'Molujan and the house Dirais'Sanbino, Contrejour married Slarc after a wild night of tea, merry story telling, a few games of spin the grave robbed hunting spear, and this is where they may have picked up Lolianna. The memory is hazy and they are still not sure what was in that tea. Through this union, Lalouisa and Contrejour became in-laws and sealed their bond as family members for evs and evs. They soon decided to share the same last name.
Thusly the Gazen'Molujan reformed under the Contraire name and the Dirais'Sanbino house crumbled and scattered never to be seen or heard from again except Shaunacy and Avichai who both don't count. To honor the lineage of the past and their unbreakable bond Contrejour, Slarq and Lalouisa struck out to forge an Empire that would become the greatest Elanthia has ever known.
