== History ==
== Overview ==


=== Founding ===
=== History ===
When Tiberius Jakivus III moved to [[Adelaa'r]] to found the [[Drakedom of Drachenland|Duchy of Tiberia]], he needed to solidify his reign over the Deichtibier Peninsula and so created the House of Tiberia, which later became one of the most powerful houses in the [[Drakedom of Drachenland]].
Long ago, a war took place between [[Rhumish]] settlers in South Arkitus and the native population of Namoics. Eventually, peace was agreed upon, and the city of Jhai was formed as a place Rhumlaandters and Namoics could live in peace. They soon elected a Governor to rule Jhai and the other nearby colonies (except for Ikarel, which had fallen to vampirism and was deemed unsafe). This Governor, Tiberius Jakivus I, also known as St. Tiberius in the Purificationist Church, formed the House of Tiberia to centralize power around him and his family.


After he returned from captivity, the [[Empire of Styvaria]] and later [[Commonwealth of Adelaar]] allowed the House to stay as a noble family within their courts.
=== Fall of the House ===
Eventually, the territory the House ruled, known as the Tiberian Colonies, fell and the House of Tiberia faded into obscurity. In its place, a military oligarchy called the Consulate of South Arkitus was set up.


The title of Head of the House was temporarily vacant after Tiberius temporarily gave up all of his noble titles and became the Vice President of Texasia, but during the [[Traitor Valley War]], he escaped Texasia.
=== Return of the House ===
The Jhaian historian and military officer [[Tiberius Jakivus III|Zenaadt Raskiluus Welhulme]], at the time Captain of the J.N.S. Victory (the first Scoutmaster-Class patrol ship of the South Arkitusian Navy), discovered that his great-grandfather, Lord Leopaulde V Welhulme vaan Tibier, was the last Head of the House of Tiberia. Zenaadt changed his name to Tibier Jaakens III Welhulme (Tiberius Jakivus III William) and was declared the new Head.


He soon re-formed the house as a minor sect of the [[Id'eskana|Id'eskanan]] nobility.
=== Move to Adelaa'r ===
When Tiberius and his family moved to Adelaa'r to found the Duchy of Tiberia, the House officially became a family within the [[Drakedom of Drachenland|Drachen]] nobility. When the [[Empire of Styvaria]] was formed in the ruins of Drachenland, Tiberius was allowed to keep his old titles and the House of Tiberia became a Styvarian and later [[Commonwealth of Adelaar|Adelaaran]] noble house.


=== Etymology ===
=== Temporary Abdication of Tiberius Jakivus III ===
As Texasia is a democratic republic, when Tiberius became Vice President he abdicated his position as Head of the House. After the [[Traitor Valley War|First Battle of Texasia,]] he left the Republic and resumed his position as Head.


* '''Coat-of-Arms:''' The shield is in the colors and patterns of the Jhaian flag, the crowned dual-headed eagle contrasts with the Drachen dragon symbol to show that they are united yet different, and the cross-and-anchor, called the Tiberian Cross, represents the strength the House possesses through both naval and political power.
=== Current State ===
* '''Name''': Named after the Duchy it ruled.
Currently, the House is a minor noble house within the [[Id'Eskana|Empire of Id'eskana]]. As the House was no longer on the continent of Adelaa'r, the position of Tiberius' old Ducal titles is uncertain.


== List of Heads of the House ==
=== Titles of the Head of the House ===
While the Head is commonly referred to as just the "Head of the House", Tiberius Jakivus has recently changed the title to "Lord Protector of the House of Tiberia".

=== Order of St. Tiberius ===
In honor of his in-lore ancestor, St. Tiberius, Tiberius Jakivus has recently created a chivalric order of knighthood called the "Order of St. Tiberius", which the Head/Lord Protector may bestow upon absolutely anyone who is a member of the same noble structure as the House. There are three different levels of the Order, each representing a different level of importance that the wearer may possess. These are the Basic Cross, Grand Cross, and Knight's Cross. Each level looks different, yet each has three wearable forms: A badge, a chest medal, and a collar medal. On military uniforms, all may be worn at once, on non-military ceremonial outfits the chest medal cannot be worn, and on civilian clothes only the badge may be worn. Here is what each version of the Order looks like:

* '''Basic Cross (Badge):''' A large metal replica of the Tiberian Cross, with the cross itself being made of iron and the anchor being made of gold.
* '''Basic Cross (Chest Medal):''' A small metal replica of the Tiberian Cross, with the cross itself being made of iron and the anchor being made of gold, hanging from a British-style bright-red medal's ribbon decorated with a thin white stripe in the middle and black stripes bordering the left and right sides.

All wearers of the Knight's Cross also gain the title of "Sir/Madame".
