Era 1: Joachim Mavanix, the Igniter

Joachim Mavanix

House Mavanix was founded by none other than Joachim Mavanix. Very little was known about Joachim’s origins for nearly 200 years, and much mystery still remains even today. It is known that he was born outside of Aldenard, though the precise location and his birth family still remain unknown today.

Joachim is known to have come to Eorzea in search of a specific relic known as the Soulfire Apparatus, believing the relic was the key to immortality. He arrived with nothing to his name and took up residence in Ul'dah's commoner wards. He took up a mining job, where he quickly rose up the ranks due to his dedication.

It was by chance the following year in the markets that Joachim came across Lady Anabelle Felstar. The Lady was quickly charmed by Joachim and the two began to see one another on a regular basis. Anabelle’s family, eventually discovering this, forbade her from seeing the commoner ever again. Joachim was devastated by this. It was also around this time that he was promoted yet again in the mining industry. Shortly after, he got into an argument with the head overseer that caused him to quit the job and start up his own mining company, dubbed Avalon.

After a couple of months building his team, Joachim issued the order to mine in a very specific location in Thanalan. He apparently had requested this location multiple times with his former employer but was constantly denied. Months passed and Avalon was on the verge of going bankrupt. Several members even quit the team. After six months of finding nothing of value, Joachim finally found what he knew to be there all along--the Soulfire Apparatus, an eerie looking totem pole from an unknown tribal civiliation.

Despite finding the artifact he craved, Joachim could not stop thinking of Anabelle Felstar. He decided to prove his worth to her family by charging historians and researchers a ton of money just to see the new artifact or interview Joachim about it. He would use these funds to help start a museum called the Avalon Heritage Museum. Anabelle would secretly give Joachim a loan from her family to assist in the endeavor as well. The museum was a success, and House Felstar finally gave their blessing to a union between Anabelle and Joachim.

Joachim and Anabelle thus wedded one another at an elegant wedding happily hosted by House Felstar. The loan that Joachim took from the family was dismissed following the marriage -- a wedding gift of sorts. Joachim then lived with Anabelle’s family while construction of the Mavanix Mansion began. Annabelle gave birth to their first child during this period of time, a daughter named Carmilla.

After the married couple moved into their new Mavanix home, they had their second child, another daughter named Sarah. It would later be revealed that Sarah was actually born of another man in which Anabelle had an affair with. This affair would spark the war between Houses Felstar and Mavanix, as Joachim would retaliate by placing a deadly curse on Sarah's birth father and forcing Sarah to grow up with the Mavanix house (Sarah would eventually find this out after she was an adult and covertly assisted keeping House Felstar afloat after Joachim utterly destroyed it). Trying desperately for a male heir, Joachim and Anabelle had a third child a year and a half later--yet another daughter, Margarette. The fourth child finally ended up being the boy that Joachim wanted so badly. He was named Darian.

Joachim shifted his focus to making House Mavanix stronger by building up the museum and Avalon while raising his three (four if Sarah is included) children as best as possible. Two suns following Darian’s eighteenth birthday, Lady Anabelle passed away from illness. Joachim became distant and closed off following this tragedy until he too passed away six years later from a heart attack. Their eldest daughter, Carmilla, left for Joachim's homeland and was not heard from again afterwards. The younger daughters, Margarette and Sarah, launched a moderately successful fashion line prior to either one of them marrying. This would later transform into the successful Margarah fashion line.
