Optional Information:
-The actual lineage of House Meras is lost during the Purging of the Great Fedosi Library in 872 of the Second Age*, though it can be argued that several important families could probably trace their lineages back to Landean Merchants who settled in Fedos Plur during the Second Age. Many foreign merchants married into Fedosi houses and would become the new nobility in the prosperous second age. This is why the men of House Meras sport Landic features, and why Queen Miri Rezzak Meras and her father Maoz Rezzak sported Adadician features.
-From the ages of 16-20, the princes of the Royal house enter a four year service in the military learning combat training and how to lead soldiers. In this period, they live at High Tyr and study under both the Lord of High Tyr and the Head of the Holy Guard.
-King Ovid Meras is known as the Holy King, not only for his relationship with the Order of the Blessed Light, but for his self-imposed celibacy at the death of his wife. Her death and his mourning period have elevated the royal family to almost saint-like depictions to the majority of the populace.
*872-On the accusation of the Great Fedosi Library Containing Heretical Documents against the Blessed Light, the Holy King Marrak Azazul II purged the library of all documents, setting a giant fire in the square of Fedos. It is regarded as a a great intellectual loss for the Fedosi people.
