Dreyrosa Family

Power Progression

Background / History

Ancient lineage

The Dreyrosa Family was once a major force in the Outer Realm War and one of the forces resisting the Deities. It gained an outer-realm continent, then grew over tens of thousands of years into a power that had produced multiple Intermediate Gods and dozens of Lower Gods. The family had even earned the right to exchange for an Upper God’s Divinity, contingent on producing a Saint Domain capable of bearing it. 347

Its main continent was later annihilated in an unexplained catastrophe, killing three Intermediate Gods and dozens of Lower Gods. Surviving branches across the Empire then suffered repeated destruction, declining talent, and gradual loss of influence. 347

Five hundred years ago, a Divine Revelation devastated the eastern province of the Salca Kingdom. The remaining Dreyrosa members there were attacked by other nobles and scattered; the branch that eventually reached the Tulip Kingdom emerged from these refugees. 347

Rise in the Tulip Kingdom

The present Tulip Kingdom branch traces its formal noble foundation to a Kingdom War roughly three centuries ago. A wandering-knight ancestor gained enough Merit Points to become a Baron, and the family later won successive promotions through the Orc War and Kingdom Wars. 123

The promotion from Viscount to Count was especially costly. Of three Earth Knights and ten Great Knights who entered that Kingdom War, only Dimon Dreyrosa—then promoted to Formal Knight—survived. 123

Under later generations, the family adopted a sustained pioneering strategy. Its name became well known among Pioneer Knights, and its influence extended far beyond the Frost Moon Province. 137

Territories and Branches

Organization and Development

• Fledglings are trained at Dreyrosa Castle to condense Life Seeds and qualify as knights. Those meeting the required conditions may be given opportunities to become Pioneer Knights and establish themselves in the north. 1 203
• The family can place qualified descendants on either the Guardian Knight path, remaining with the household, or the Pioneer Knight path, receiving family backing to develop in the Northern Province. 4
• Before Count Engel’s breakthrough, the family had five Earth Knights, including Marshall Dreyrosa, who was nearing his own advancement. 137
• During the Divine Revelation crisis, family descendants collectively bought supplies, mines, and territories from withdrawing lords, treating the disaster as an opportunity for expansion rather than solely a threat. 157 184
• The family’s Marquis promotion and large pool of Merit Points gave it greater capacity to cultivate its many descendants and expand its middle- and lower-tier strength. 310
