King Ikthios ruled Neptag another ten years after the death of Anesthos the Younger before his own death in 55 NC. Though the Rector of the House of the Quill claimed the right to select a new ruler from Ikthios' lieutenants, the dead king's own son, Aerolon, became the third ruler by popular acclaim. King Aerolon issued the Edict of Primogeniture, which ensured an unbroken bond of inheritance from King Ikthios, eventually giving rise to the first royal house of Neptaris, House Ikthian. Aerolon ruled with a steady but firm hand as the city began to expand during his rule and the alliance with the Arisan elves strengthened. When he died in 81 NC, few could say that the city was worse for his reign.
Aerolon's son, Kregimar, assumed the throne in 82 NC, after the House of the Quill again attempted to assert its right to select a ruler. Despite his initial popularity with the people, Kregimar's reign became harsher in the face of plague and starvation that marked the early years of Neptag's second century. The alliance with the Arisan elves began eroding as Kregimar demanded more and more of their forests to clear for agriculture. It was he who first established the name House Ikthian. In his later years, as insanity began to plague his mind and his body became weak with age, he began constructing a sizeable army. It is said that, upon his death in 112 NC, he was only months away from using that army to take the rest of the forest possessed by the Arisan elves.
Over the next decade, Neptag saw five Kings crowned. King Ikthiorn was crowned in 112 NC, but was poisoned within three months of assuming his crown. His own son, Agramen, was crowned at the age of twelve in the first days of 112 but died two years later when he fell into a well while playing in the castle gardens. Agramen's uncle, Gremoran, assumed the throne in 114 NC and ruled for five years before being crippled by a fall from his horse. Unfortunately, Gremoran had no male heirs when he was crippled thus, and the only remaining male descendant of Kregimar was in exile. Fifteen years previously, Kregimar had exiled his own brother, Pheremar, for taking an Arisan wife (interracial marriage was strictly against Kregimar's laws). Pheremar had since died, but his half-elven son, Orris, still survived, living in hiding with his mother in the Arisan forest. Adventurers, mercenaries and diplomats entered the Arisan wood, searching for Orris. They finally discovered him in 120 NC and brought him back to Neptag to be crowned king, despite the fact that he had neither visited the city before nor spoke the language. As Orris was still very immature, the city's priests called the First Ecumenical Council to determine who should serve as Regent. Joandar, Rector of the House of the Quill and himself half-elven (though raised by his human family), was chosen to serve.
