The History of House Moritani

Timeline

Before Guild (BG)
88 Battle of Corrin brought the Corrinos to primacy over the other houses of the Landsraad and brought about the formation of the Padishah Imperium. House Moritani supported the Corrinos wholeheartedly, at an enormous cost to resources and lives, and was rewarded by the Governorship of Grumman to Lorenzo XXV, making Moritani a House Minor.
0 Spacing Guild and CHOAM combine with the Lion Throne to form the societal basis for the next ten thousand years. House Moritani is instrumental in the formation of the Spacing Guild, by selling off most of its spaceship research and development to the Guild and being allowed to continue to manufacture parts for the Guild Heighliners and developments in personal frigates. House Moritani also helps in the formation of CHOAM, and Bernabo III was the architect behind the idea for CHOAM Directorships, with the Imperium duly represented, and thus endeared the Moritani to the Imperium further as well as gained them one of the first Directorships.
After Guild (AG)
283 Duke Senshisai Ginaz succeeded in forming a minor fief on the southern continents of Grumman. As a result, relations between House Moritani and House Ginaz deteriorated.
337 The Great Convention is ratified. One of the delegates was Mateo I, who worked to give the Emperor more power over the Houses. He was greatly derided by his fellow delegates, and was soon afterwards assassinated. His son, Valentinian, was granted to have the hand of the Emperor's daughter, Victoriae. Moreover, the Moritani's fief was elevated to the status of a County. This not only helped to introduce the Moritani into the Imperial bloodline; it also paved the way for the Moritani finally being accepted as a House Major.
477 House Minor Moritani elevated to House Major status, largely due to the support of Emperor Saluso III.
4796 The first kanly was recorded between House Ginaz and House Moritani. The Ginaz fief on Grumman had been confiscated with the approval of the Emperor, adding fuel to the conflict, which lasts to the present day.
