Sirus Dasol

Lord Sirus Dasol is a young nobleman from the Sorcerer's Isle who is well learned in Grey magick. He spends much of his time with the reconstruction of Emjedah as one of the few remaining Frontacian nobles in Aradath. He served in several key positions in Emjedah before the fall of the city, most notably as Minister of Magick. However, after a falling out between Sirus and Kreston Luminess, Sirus cut his ties with present Emjedahan political structure. Instead, he pursued his thirst for knowledge by opening a bookstore, The Dusty Pages, and by founding the Aradath Herald, a bi-monthly newspaper whose intention was to spread knowledge of the happenings in Aradath to its readers. The Dusty Pages remains the premier bookstore in Aradath, located in The Galleria while the Aradath Herald publishing is temporarily suspended.

House of Dasol
The House of Dasol is an old house that once held prominence during the Frontacian Empire. Currently, Sirus is head of his House, however while he is in the Aradath, his mother Alansa deals with the main duties.

The Dasols were well-known for their involvement in crafting the magickal gateways. This gave them great influence as the Empire prospered. However, when the gateways collapsed, the House of Dasol was first to catch the blame. The youthful Moril Dasol sided with Empress Zaarman's proposal to construct the gateways that destroyed Psycia. To make matters worse, the destruction of the gateways ultimately led to the downfall of the Empire.

Lately however, the House of Dasol is steadily regaining power on Sorcerer's Isle. When the ruling families at the time descended into chaos, the Dasols' lands broke into smaller, self-governed factions in the ensuing power vaccum. Only the House of Beauvais (BO-vies) remained a loyal ally of the Dasols at first. Slowly though, the Dasols were able to reunite their fractured lands and were able to assert enough pressure to gain a seat on the Great Council of Houses again.

Interesting OOC Facts
Sirus's name is pronounced the same as Cyrus (sahy-ruhs, so says Dictionary.com). During the creation of the character, his name was originally planned to be Lucian, but the name was already taken. In addition, the formal spelling of Cyrus was also taken, so the name Sirus was adopted from that. No, it has nothing to do with Sirius.
