The Zenonian Dynasty or the House of Zenon (Khijovian: Żaenœnne Chæstə) is the current reigning royal house of Khijovia. The Zenonians had ruled the Kingdom of Khijovia for almost four centuries (July 11, 1161 AR - January 28, 1534 AR) until their decay in the early sixteenth century due to internal conflicts and inheritance disputes to the throne. The weakening of the royal power, in fact, favored the republican federalists who took power with a violent coup d'état, exiling the royal family and founding the Federation of Khijovia on January 28, 1534. However, the young prince Arcadion II managed to restore the Zenonian Dynasty to power by founding the Ascended Kingdom of Khijovia on June 3, 1607.

Etymology

Most people think that the royal house is named after the founder of the Kingdom of Khijovia, Grand Duke of Klettoria Zenon the Great, however the name Zenon itself originates from Żaennə, a term in the Kleitorian dialect that designated the noble lineage of the descendants of Ivian Cassio, the forefather of the House of Zenon.

Origins

The origins of this royal house date back well back in time, at the time of the Kveutonian Empire. The progenitor of the dynasty is thought to have been Ivian Cassio, a Koritian nobleman who emigrated to the current region of Klettoria to escape from the wars that took place in his homeland. Cassio settled with his family around 403 AR in a small town called Kleitore on the estuary of the Thevre river, soon becoming patron and governor of the coastal village. Over the decades, Kleitore would grow exponentially by subjugating the entire region of Klettoria and would become an autonomous duchy governed by the wealthy Zenonian family, becoming home to important economic and commercial centers thanks to the numerous ports and communication routes that connected it to other Khijovian counties and principalities.
