• OUR HISTORY •
When the first of the family first came to Amaryllis is unknown to anyone. It is said to have been so many generations ago that even the ancestral spirits do not remember. That being said the Araqui’s are a secretive native family. One that worship Maua but have a different way of living than some of the other native families. They value loylity to family and honor in battle yes, but they are a more battle hardy bunch. Before Maua opened Amaryllis to the outside world they would clash a lot with another branch of the family for there was a time when the family was separated into three clans. One living in Crimson Hideaway which still houses what is left of the family after they merged together just after the passage was open. The other clans had lived along the Shoreline and within the coldest part of Amaryllis within the Glacier Lake were at some point they mixed with the Viking family that lived out there through marriage.

• THE WAR FAMILY OF AMARYLLIS •
The Family has never been weak. They had always been seen as strong if not a bit of trouble due to their three way family feud between the three clans. But overall they are warriors. Not just their men either but their women as well. Within the family both genders are equal. Even non-genders as rare as they are, are equal. To show disrespect to one member of the family is seen as disrespect to the whole family and despite teaching their young from an early age how to fight they understand that not all will take up the way of the fighter as they grow older. Still the way they work out their problems is through fighting. The higher the win rate in the family the higher the standing. Yet even if someone has lost every battle they have ever been in they aren’t looked down upon. Often if such a thing happens the higher ranked will willfully come and teach the lower ranks in hopes that one day they will rise up. Yet those who wish not to fight are also important. Normally medics, or spiritual guides in the family they are treasured and protected. Messing with these members of the family is the fastest way to find yourself on a hit list.

• VIEWPOINTS ON OUTSIDERS •
How the family feels of outsiders as a whole is unknown for the last head of the family kept them hidden away for quite sometime. As the family interacts with the outsiders each member shall determine their own opinion.

• Alliances •
During the time when the clans were warring an alliance was formed with the Valour family who would take in the injured and none fighters. Often the Spiritual guides from all clans would take shelter with the family. As well as new mothers with young cubs because it was safe.

• TRADITIONS •
— Training for all cubs no matter if they plan to take the path of warrior starts at 6 months.
— At 1 year old Cubs can choose to become Trainees in the waring path of the family, or become a Treasure in the non-waring path and assigned a teacher. However if they wish to become both they will be placed as Trainee within the waring path, and assigned a teacher from the Treasured.
— Teachers at least 3 years old. Warriors are allowed to take Trainees under their belt and train them 1 on 1 if they wish otherwise Generals and above are expected to hold classes.
— Marriage is important in the family and each member is expected to have at least one spouse. However, the family is open minded as far as sexuality goes. Some have even been know to share spouses.
— — Spouses are allowed to join the waring ranks of the family, but must start at Trainee and may not be higher than Elite.
