With the accession of the successful and long reigning Queen Arathvesura, it was apparent that [[House de Weluta]] would soon be succeeeded by another royal dynasty in Paulastra. Upon her accession in [[1858]], she was considered the most eligible bachlorette in the [[Occident]]. Several suitors were considered abroad, with the possibility of a distant relation within the Urcean main line of [[House de Weluta]] receiving the most attention by both the Queen and her advisors. However, in [[1862]], the leading politicians of Paulastra began to instead advise the Queen to marry into a prominent local family, especially one of [[Coscivian]] origin if possible. This would give Paulastra the prestige of establishing its own "home grown" dynasty, and would also continue the work of unifying the Levantine and Coscivian cultural elements of the country. Accordingly, on 22 May [[1864]], following a long search, Queen Arathvesura married Silvin Xerokom, the scion of one of the most wealthy and prestigious Coscivian-descended families from Farpoint. As part of the effort to establish a prestigious, Paulastran-oriented dynasty, the Queen issued a proclamation on 1 January [[1865]] that all children born of her and her husband would be part of the new "House of Newaster". Her first son was named Paul; both the new dynastic name and heir's name were references to [[Paul Aster]], with the Queen trying to deliberately establish a "Cronan" royal dynasty. Following the Queen's death on 5 August [[1890]], Paul I Newaster became the first King of Paulastra from the dynasty. | |||
