Minecraft:House of Eris
The House of Eris is the smaller of the two ruling houses of Erisiana, in terms of holdings.
Origins
Though some may say the house has its origins in YOLD 3181 with E. Myers (who also holds the present title of Grand Inquisitor of the House of Eris), the truth is the house is most noble and ancient, stretching back to YOLD 10. The initial building of the House of Eris was Castle Eris in Mountain Home, though it largely sits empty to this day.
The House of Eris also founded the Ancien Empire, a large Francophone empire in the far west, which enjoys a joint regime with Erisiana at Unity Bridge.
In recent times, The House of Eris has mostly concentrated on infrastructure improvements in Erisiana and Ancien.
Mountain Home
Main article: Mountain Home
Around the end of YOLD 3180, the Grand Inquisitor of Discord House made an arrangement with the House of Eris to establish a new country in the Discord Mountains to the west-southwest of Discord Manor. This new country was founded as Mountain Home. The two houses, joined by Cat House, agreed to share power and responsibility in a more-or-less representative system.
Castle Eris, despite sitting largely empty, is the headquarters of the House of Eris, pending furnishment.
The three Houses of Mountain Home later agreed to combine the lower levels of their castles into Joint Castle Eris-Discordia, which is the capitol of Mountain Home (and also Erisiana).
When Unity Bridge was founded as a joint territory of Mountain Home and Ancien, The House of Eris retained significant control of the territory's affairs.
Ancien
Main article: Ancien
Ancien is an ancient Francophone empire extending to the days before the Discordian epoch, as illustrated by Vieux-Athénés ruins. Athénés, as it was called in those days, was modelled after the ancient Greek city of Athens, but as the citizenry were illiterate and knew little of architecture, the clone they made was of poor quality.
Since nobody wants to live in ancient ruins, the city of Nouvelle-Athénés was created nearby as an actually modern city.
University of Ancien
Main article: University of Ancien
Discord House maintains a scholarship agreement with the House of Eris to send its students to the University of Ancien free of charge. In addition, Foxdale also sends its students to the university. As such, the University of Ancien can be considered almost a de facto (if not de jure) joint sovereignty area of multiple empires.
Unity Bridge
Main article: Unity Bridge
Unity Bridge is held in joint regime with Erisiana (which effectively means Discord House, as Erisiana is a joint empire of the House of Eris and Discord House). It is a bilingual free-trade zone and home to many shops.
