The House of Trayus plays out itself as one of the numerous Houses in Hydlaa with a notable recorded history and heritage since it's arrival in Yliakum the 5th Epoch and beyond with its origins from Xaant Laan, the Lemur city in the Stone Labyrinth. The Trayus House is among the original Lemur settlers that reached Yliakum led by Galeran Tarbius in an exodus from the Stone Labyrinths and was among the contributing Lemurs that erected the Iron Temple and the City Library in Hydlaa. The members and relatives of the Trayus clan was later involved in Lemur expansion to the 4th level of Yliakum, culminating the founding of the Lemur College at the Stronghold. As do most scientific Lemur, the Trayus Clan adopted the classical academic vocation of alchemy and publishing as it's key industries and learning a fundamental aspect of the House tradition.
As decreed by the law handed through the Octarchal Decree in 425 AY, the House of Trayus was amongst the earliest adopters of the new policies, marking the birth of the modern Trayus House. Lord Dunril Trayus, undoubtedly the most historically prominent Head of this House led the abolishment slavery in its apothecaries and press, and the departure from a Lemur exclusivity through admission of other races into the House by implementing a multi racial policy and granting freedom of worship. Additionally, he produced the House Constitution that greatly reformed the administration of the House, giving effect to more governmental accountability and access to justice to it's members and established the core values of the House of Trayus – Diligent, Perseverant, Inventive and Steadfast. Dunril Trayus also left an iconic mark on the face, literally, on Trayus Publishing through the slogan he coined – “The Momentum of Discovery”. These words still mark the pages of the books produced by the press.
The present head of the House is Vilthis Trayus, born 750 AY, the XXth generation of Trayus to ascend the position, shortly after the passing of his uncle Ignious Trayus at 772 AY.
