Below is a picture of the Bellris Family tree, of every Queen (highlighted in red) that has sat upon the throne of Bellris since Antari, The Bellris family can rightfully claim that no man has ever claimed the throne since the beginning. Warning the picture is fairly big in the spoiler.
 Loyalty: Bellris Republic, Treaty with Phobos and Ethe. Religion: Duotheisitic (Main 60%) Polytheistic (35%) Monotheistic (5%) Most of Bellris belive in two gods, Antari the goddess and Patron of Bellris, the first true queen, and then Ecruos the god of the river, water and fertility. While those farther east of the capital keep the elder gods. Bellris has the highest population of belivers of Onera as though each age of the former queendom the religion has changed. Roughly 150 years ago BEFORE they aloud the common tongue into the former Queendom the Queendom purely belived in the Elder Gods, while after they began to accept the Common tongue many began to integrate the god of the rivers into their worship along side Antari, and with the many rises of the Church of Onera, followers began to flee to Bellris which gives Bellris the most difference in religion, even outweighing Lionis. Fashion: The main of Bellris is a farming class, loose but warm shirts and dark pants are normal amongst men while long loose but warm skirts and warm tops are common amongst women, normally made out of wool. Simplicity is preferred amongst the lower classes as wearing intricate clothing out into the mud would be stupid and just get dirty, but that doesn't mean people don't want to have fun as the lower classes normally have at least one or two outfits they can wear out to parties and dances that are beautiful. The higher classes such as the former nobility and royalty have more colour to pick from while men wear vests and suits on occasion women normally wear long skirts and corsets, sometimes with a veil. However despite the desire for warm, modest clothing, Bellris is probably the least careing when it comes to formalities such as marriage as many queens have publically taken loves and bore children out of wedlock. The noble and royal fashions of Bellris are based off of the Russian Court Language: In an attempt to distance themselves from Ethe as much as possible for the last 150 years the main tongue of Bellris has been its birth tongue, however in the last 50 years they have began integrating the common tongue into their country however over 95% of the population still speak the native Bellrisian tongue while the rest of the population begrudgingly accept it with 3% of those speaking the common tongue being within the shadow city and holding high ranking jobs such as council men and woman, former nobility and traders, while the other 2% are location closer to Lionis-Bellris boarder. It is unlikely one would find a random farmer able to speak the common tongue well enough to hold up a conversation. Those whom speak the Bellrisian tongue code your words in purple, please speak to the captain if before you do. Main Product: Food such as Grains, Potatos, Rice, Corn, Fruits and Vegitables, Less impact but Cattle, Pigs, goats, Chickens, Snails Main Economical Struggle: Lack of Education (on the fall due to the activity of the School of Bellris) Crime Rate: 1 in every 1000 have a punishable offence on their record. The Republic of Bellris Noun: Bellrisian (ex. I am a proud Bellrisian) Adjective: Bellrisian (ex. I am proud to be Bellrisian) Plural: Bellrisians (ex. Here come the Bellrisians!!)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Legacy of Lady BellrisThe Lady Bellris was a dark phoenix known for her voluptuous figure and token blonde hair that would be the indicator of her house for generations to come. Lady Bellris was not insane like her dragon counterpart, Phobos the Insane, she was just very different and unorthodox and it seemed like her magic came from an odd a fearful place. Lady Bellris' most zealous follower was her sister Nitha and it would be though her sister that the line would continue. Lady Bellris was born of high birth to a Phoenix clan that fought along side the golden Phoenixi that would soon form Ethe and from the day she was born she was something of a strange being, her magic for starters couldn't be classified, the only way she could describe it was quote "I feel as if the earth is rising though my body, filling me from my feet to my heart to my head, and when I decide to release it flows from my inside my body and makes me feel as if I could take on anyone and everyone without problem" Her magic would manifest in a shower of blue and it could be either very destructive or very useful depending on how it was used. It was the destructive portion that would get Lady Bellris banished from the Phoenix. Despite Lady Bellris using her magic to create dozens upon dozens of miles of once frozen and barren land useable for farming, it was one time that was her demise. At the birth of her one and only child, Antari, her magic would go wild and it would take the lives of 20,000 men and women. People could see what happened from miles around as it was described as "a vortex of blue magic rising from the camps, a great light that would funnel into the sky and then vanish. when we went to investigate we found thousands dead" Bellris was sent into exile with her daughter and anyone who followed her. Five hundred people where banished to the far north, but thanks to Bellris' magic she was able to create farmland to live. Yet she was excruciatingly angry, so much so that it even showed in her magic. Bellris would leave at random hours of the night and fly across Epsilon as a shadow of death. Wherever she went a dark blue vortex would light up the sky that night and thousands would be dead, in Bellris' life she must have taken up to 750,000 lives. Her kingdom would rise after Ivirth was crowned King of the land, she would use her magic to expand the territory of what had once been called "the land of darkness", creating a stretch of blight to mark the border between her kingdom and the others. Eventually however her vengeance would be met with execution when Ethe invaded, and though the army of Bellris would be able to repel them, Ethe would manage to sneak an assassin in and end the life of Lady Bellris. The Kingdom would fall to her daughter, Antari, for a time....but then the same fate would befall Antari as she would be murdered, a man would sit upon the throne for years but when the "Kingdom of Darkness" rose up against this man he would be slaughtered, Cousins of the Lady Bellris would be placed upon the throne and a rule enacted that "No man shall ever claim the throne unless he be the last of the line" And from this the Kingdom of Darkness became the Kingdom of Bellris, in honor of the woman who had singlehandedly conqured the land they would call their kingdom, Lady Bellris, as well in her honor- her cousins would claim her name as their surname, so that Bellris will live on in both the land in the Queens that would rule it.

Napaysha I and her Six sisters
A tragic yet inspiring tale of the most influential Queen of Bellris since Antari centers around the seven daughters of Grevillia and her lover Ither. Long ago, once the Kingdom of Darkness had officially became the Queendom of Bellris and enacted the law that no man, lest he be the last of the line, was to sit upon the throne of Bellris, the way of life they were trying to establish was threatened. Queen Trezia bore three sons; Midir the Vile, Harlow the Wicked, and Wrathe the Abomination. Midir was beautiful of face but horrifying of personality, Harlow was the second born and it was said that he was both horrid of mind and of body; that every step he took would cause putrid water to rise from the driest of ground, and Wrathe the Abomination- the third born to Trezia would grow to be a giant of nine feet high with a withered arm and two conjoined lifeless heads on either side of his own and muscles larger then most men. Trezia had tried for a daughter dozens of times after she bore her three sons but any time she tried to have more children they would either be born still or go missing soon after the birth...with only a splatter of blood in their cribs as to any indication that they had actually once been their. Scared that the kingdom would pass to one of her sons, Trezia would look to her niece, Grevillia, a woman who had never married nor planned to but had had seven daughters by her lover. Trezia would go to her niece and beg of her to allow her to adopt her daughters, even one would do, she would tell Grevillia, but no matter how desperate Trezia became Grevillia refused...perhaps because she knew of how monstrous Trezia's children where...or maybe because she knew the law better then her aunt. The time for asking would soon be stopped when one night the three brothers would come to Grevillia's mansion while she was away and start to kill the household...The only one their at the time despite the staff, was Grevillia's youngest daughter Atropa, barely 15 at the time, who offered herself to Midir in exchange that he would leave the rest of the house alone. Midir would accept and he would take her back to the capital, his younger brothers Harlow and Wrathe would follow behind him. When Grevillia and her older daughters returned from town to find the mansion covered in blood and the youngest missing they planned revenge...While back at the castle Midir would assassinate Trezia and attempt to kill his two younger brothers as well...this would lead to an entire year where the throne of Bellris would be vacant as the three brothers would fight amongst themselves for the crown. While they fought the sisters Alessalie, Donna, Dynova, Camellia, Renuka and Napaysha would plan and ready themselves...Napaysha however was the smartest of them and she would devise a plan using the old construction papers detailing the castles secret passages and traps on the ground; what Napaysha planned would be as follows. Her eldest sisters Alessalie and Donna would stand guard at the front gate with spears at the ready, Dynova would be ready with a sword above them, ready to jump down...Camellia would be stationed in the courtyard near the fountain where Renuka would be hiding in the bushes across from her with a whip at the ready while Napaysha herself would enter the castle to find Atropa. The plan worked almost perfectly... While Harlow was walking around the castle he would see Camellia standing outside and he would walk out to the fountain only to be restrained by the whip and drowned by Renuka...Wrathe hearing the commotion would walk out the only exit he could...the front door and Alessalie and Donna would incapasiate him, sending him to the ground when Dynova would send a sword though the center head...Napaysha during this time would find Atropa locked away in the dungeons. She would help her out and they would be walking toward the front gate when they would be ambushed by Midir. A fight would occur and it would take all seven of the sisters to take him down, the finishing blow would come from both Atropa and Napaysha, as Atropa could manage to stab him in the throat just as Napaysha decapitated him... With the heirs dead Grevillia would become the Queen of Bellris, Alessalie was supposed to become the Queen after her death but instead the sisters spoke with each other and upon Napaysha's 18th birthday, each one in order abdicated the throne and pledged themselves to Napaysha's rule, they all would say to their sister "We will guard your line and birth no children so that your wisdom may continue on though the line for generations to come"...with this Grevillia would step down and retire with her lover to the country. Napaysha would become the most influential queen of Bellris since Antari, her rule would lead to peace and growth and she would be succeeded by her only daughter Reslin, who would add to her legacy. Napaysha I would be the last one to be alive as her sisters would all die one by one in service to Napaysha and on the death of each of her sisters she would name a light in the sky after them...and when her own daughter came of age Napaysha would vanish...some say she would join her sisters in the stars, others would say she would join her gypsy lover Tyba, and her son Eremurus on the road... but whatever truly happened, Napaysha's departure would lead to "Napaysha's Law", an unspoken law where each Queen would retire when their own daughters would come of age....

Queen Solandra BellrisQueen Solandra Bellris was the Seventh Queen of Bellris, the daughter of Queen Reslin and her husband Antrirum. She was the Queens old child and as she was born first and female she was destine to inherit title of Queen even if she had had other siblings. Ever since she was born Solandra wasn't particularly "right" according to sources. She was considered a little touched and constantly bounced between emotions so extreme her servants could never really keep up, she could never keep regular company and was a compulsive liar, being rather spoiled by bother parents didn't particularly help. Solandra would enter into an arranged marriage with a low born lord named Berra and have two children Enthrallia and Lycianthus before she would become queen upon her mothers death in her late twenties....more to come.
