EA has dropped more information on Ondarion’s dynasties coming in the Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack.
Ondarion currently has a vacant throne and its future is uncertain. Powerful families plot against each other to claim it. Here’s a rundown of all the dynasties you’ll come cross in the new Sims 4 expansion:
Hear ye, hear ye, Simmers! You have entered the majestic world of Ondarion.
A Vacant Throne and Three Regions
With the sovereign throne standing empty, Ondarion’s future is uncertain. Across three distinct regions, powerful families scheme, scandals stir, and old rivalries refuse to stay buried.
Whether you choose to rise the ranks as a noble or enjoy the simple life of a commoner, you’ll want to know the neighbors, and, more importantly, their secrets.
Set your trunks aside and let’s meet the Sims of Ondarion from The Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Expansion Pack.
Verdemar – Built on Secrets and Social Power
A bustling harbor where nobles mingle with heroic outlaws, and fortune favors the bold, Verdemar thrives on traveling and whispered truths.
The House of Thebe: Masters of the Open Sea
The great port of Verdemar is home to the Thebe family, a cunning and adventurous house known for mingling with Sims of all backgrounds, from nobles to outlaws alike. At its head sits Cordelia V of the House of Thebe, a legendary navigator and direct descendant of Cordelia I. Like her ancestor, she is an intrepid seafaring socialite with a taste for lavish gatherings, amassed riches, and complicated affairs.
Cordelia I famously took not one, not two, but four pirate lovers. From two of these unions came children, a legacy that helped shape Verdemar’s cosmopolitan spirit.
The Abrantes Family: Ambition Beneath Devotion
Cordelia’s husband, Thiago Abrantes, is a devoted partner who loves her not for her status, but for who she is. While he enjoys the comforts of noble life, he has little interest in pursuing the unifying crown and is content with the world they share, a peace that may endure or erode should he learn of Cordelia’s secret.
Thiago’s mother, Ermelinda Abrantes, is far less content. Power-hungry and disdainful of Cordelia, she will stop at nothing to see the crown placed upon her son’s head. Her teenage daughter, Sofia Abrantes, is capable, outgoing, and fiercely loyal to Thiago. Aware of Cordelia’s infidelity, Sofia is still weighing how or if to use this knowledge.
Outlaws and Shadows of Verdemar
Separate from the family’s inner circle is Fia Acosta, a commoner who frequents the local Pirate Bar and harbors secrets of her own. Not only is she Cordelia’s shadowy paramour, she is also Ondarion’s Royal Robber, a charitable burglar whose band of outlaws hides stolen noble wealth across the kingdom.
Fia’s confidant, Aloisio Romualdo, knows every detail. An experienced extortionist, his loyalty may prove to be invaluable should the truth come ashore.
Dambele – Art, Community, and Quiet Ambition
Though Dambele values community and the arts over the wealth and material excess prized by its neighbors, the same familial secrets found throughout Ondarion still whisper through its charming public gardens.
The Darong Dynasty: Philanthropy and Power
The prominent dynasty in this regal neighborhood belongs to the Darong family, austere traditionalists who see themselves as the philanthropic guardians of their people. The recently retired Grand Duke Adekoya Darong sits atop the family tree and hopes his adult daughter, Jawara, will campaign for the Ondarion throne on behalf of the entire family, an ambition she, the Grand Duchess of Dambele, openly shares.
The Next Generation of Dambele
Jawara has two children of her own: daughter Amarachi, an artsy teenager who actively champions Dambele’s artistic traditions, and son Obi, a child genius whose scholarly talents rival, if not surpass, those of his grandfather.
A Mysterious Suitor
Though Jawara currently lacks a partner in her pursuit of the crown, she has recently been courted by a mysterious newcomer and preeminent fencer, Akachi Onoja. While Jawara weighs her next move, her father remains deeply skeptical of Akachi’s intentions.
The Ananou Family: Artists and Tricksters
A visit to Dambele would be incomplete without a stop at the Zanbira Market, where you’re likely to encounter the elder artist Ekene Ananou, selling his handmade crafts. He’s good-hearted but a bit mischievous, so only engage if you fancy a joke or trick.
Ekene is also the guardian of his granddaughter, Afua Ananou. Though her mother has passed, her father, unbeknownst to her, still lives in Dambele. He just so happens to be the patriarch of the Darong Dynasty, a secret he, Adekoya, and Ekene have agreed to keep at the mother’s request to shield her from the noble pressures.
Bellacorde – Chivalry in Decline and Excess on Display
Neighboring its namesake lake, Bellacorde is a land steeped in chivalry and knighthood that has since become a place draped in excess, as the wealthy and noble parade their opulence.
House of Capp: Power, Tradition, and Decadence
No family embodies this contradiction more fully than the Capps. At the head of the house is Tybalt Capp, a man enthralled by noble life and the relentless drive to gain more power. Though he openly vies for the crown, his more immediate ambition is to marry his three adult children into status-cementing unions, all in service of the dynasty.
The Capp Heirs: A Fractured Line
The Capp heirs reflect Bellacorde’s internal fractures.
- Beatrice Capp, the eldest and heir apparent, is admired for her composure, style and grace. Though often perceived as aloof, even by high-society standards, she secretly longs for deeper, more meaningful connections.
- Celeste, the middle child, reveres the ideals of chivalry but rejects their father’s crude materialism.
- Virgilio, the youngest, is openly rebellious, disdainful of noble life, and… in quieter circles… his name is murmured in connection with the defacing of the great Bellacorde Statue.
Haunting Bellacorde’s halls is Consort Capp, Tybalt’s grandfather and the former Grand Duke turned ghost. A staunch traditionalist who credits himself for much of the region’s prosperity, Consort wanders the town in visible disdain of his descendants’ decadence.
The Monty Family: Love, Scandal, and Rivalry
Rivals to the Capps are the Montys. Juliette Monty, Tybalt’s disowned sister, engulfed the family in scandal when she eloped with a commoner, Romeo Monty. Though Romeo, an easygoing chef, is happy with his piece of the pie, Juliette quietly nurses resentment towards her brother and the nobility she lost. Their teenage son, Dante, is a good-natured goofball who sees beyond the rivalry and maintains a close, secret friendship with his cousin Celeste.
Marriage as a Shortcut to Status
For those seeking a faster path to nobility, marriage can offer a tempting shortcut, though not without its trials. Enzo Alto, a noble bachelor and cousin of Holly Alto from Get Famous, offers such an opportunity. The perks are royal. His personality, not so much.
Across Verdemar, Dambele, and Bellacorde, alliances can be forged, secrets exposed, and legacies rewritten. Will your Sims uphold tradition, spark rebellion, or claim the crown for themselves? In Ondarion, every family has a story, and every story is yours to shape.
