Krauss

The Krauss Family, the Krauss Royal Family, or alternately the House of Krauss (older spellings have also seen the name stylized as "Krouss" but pronounced the same); is the ruling royal family of the Servothian Monarchy. The family also has an ancient history beginning sometime in the mid era of the Rothian Empire.

History
The Krauss line began when a member of the Nordic Servothian tribe raided Sollosk, and took a slave of a member of the family Avitus, the resulting relationship led to the eventual creation of the Kruass family. Sometime in in 600s AD the Kruss-Avitus family took control of a small village in the northern region of modern day Servoth, this village would start the growth of what would become the beginning of the Servothian State.

In the 1100s, the Kruss-Avitus family crowned themselves the rulers of the Consort of the Nord, after changing their names to Krauss. Through this new nation the Krauss would expand their power through mainland Amplector, carving themselves an empire out of the world.

By the 1760s, the Krauss had control of the western and northern parts of the nation, with their opposing the Servothian Confederation to the south and east. The Great Family continued the push into their enemies land, hoping to unite the totality of the Servothian peoples. And finally, in 1823, their wish was granted.

From then to the begin of the Era of Instability in the late 1920s, the Krauss ruled the Servothian Empire with an iron fist and a steel toe boot.

Decline
From the 1840s to today, the Krauss Family has slowly lost members, and with the way heirs are chosen, led to the family's end. By the late end of the 1890s, the family was left with only two members, the third a possible distant cousin died from tuberculosis; leaving only Kaiser Heinz Krauss IX and his nephew, Archduke Anton Krauss.

Through in 1907, Anton did have a child with a Ms. Thinker, though through child naming practice, the child was not considered a true Krauss, and was left to be born as a Stofl, Ms. Thinker's family. The child was named, Erhin Jon Krauss Stofl, later appointed the position of Grand Auditor of the Servothian Technocracy after Heinrich Alder died in 1959.
