This looks like a rather accurate summary, I think we should make it official. Maybe even integrate it into the calender for extra fantasy points. Now would be 4E15, or somewhere around there (15 years into the 4th era of Auronas).
I expanded my family a small bit, if anyone is looking for a southerner to marry. I also wouldn't mind changing my wife, if someone has a free sister/daughter.

Name/Player Name: Jeod Draenon/ Golden1Knight
Location: Has been described and illustrated, but just to confirm: The entire region south of Uqbar, the banks of the great lake to the sea, encompassing a whole river and small lake too. This lake is of extreme importance to religious Tarnost.
Ruler/Family: Self-proclaimed King Jeod Draenon (38), Ruler of Tarnost. Queen Alane (34), of the Watermoon House. Prince Andrew (18), Princess Laura (16) and Prince Royce (15), their children.
Vassals:
Lord John Kroton of Rocky Ford. A man simple and rustic, like his House. His castle dominates the only river crossing between Thamerhall and Moonlake. The economy is based on agriculture.
Lord Cedric Watermoon of Moonlake. A proud man, like all the lords of the House Watermoon. His castle is a defense to the Sacred Lake, and his family has more pride than resources.
Lord Vroen Kellon of Silent Cove. Loyalty and military efficiency is the pricipal characteristic of the House Kellon. Always ready to defend his master, whoever he is. His castle can only be accessed by a narrow bridge, which crosses a stretch of the Great Lake to the rock where is Silent Cove.
Lord Jason Drengot of Mouth. First Lord of a House newly founded, Jason always tries to impress. His castle sits at the mouth of a river, and is protected by a scheme of bridges and barricades.
Lord Laran Maranger of Seatower. The House Maranger were the last to be subdued by Jeod, and still guard a secret resentment. Are geared for fishing and boating, and have a black humor.
Lord Gerin Nocker of Brigdeport. The House Nocker is as old as trade and its peaceful side is known to all. They try to stay out of trouble, and they live of the trade of goods from the river Thamer. His castle is located on a bridge, giving them complete power over the entrance of the river.
Lord Daeron Tanstar of Deep Pit. A newly founded House, Kellon share with their ideals of loyalty. However, due to their lifestyle in the plains, are devoted to grazing and breeding of horses, giving their masters the best horses of the South.
Nation Biography: Tarnost consisted of a region under the domination of the former king, and he gave the leaders of the House Draenon leadership in the region. The house has ancient origins, of the time of the formation of the kingdom. Keeping the word of the former king, after the end of the Kingdom, the House Draenon did what he could to keep the lords of the region under his dominion, and did so with much effort, at the cost of the destruction of some houses and the creation of others. But after the dust settles, the Draenon found themselves with the domain of a region fertile and strategic importance, where they were Lords Supreme, without submitting to a king. So Jeod Draenon, the first of his name, decided to take a step forward: declared himself king of the land of Tarnost, and that his title would pass to his son, and so on for countless generations until the world turned dust.
Religion: The religion of Tarnost is the Cult of the Stars. This faith is based on the fact that the sun is a powerful being, but selfishly seeking outshine the moon and the stars. However, he deserves respect and admiration. The Moon, the mother of men, rises to the skies during the rest of the Sun to watch over the sleeping men. The stars are nothing more than our countless ancestors. After his death, all men should be put to rest in the waters of the night, in order to join the stars in their eternal sleep, and become vassals of the eternal Moon. Those who are noble or have done incredible feats in their lives enjoy the right to rest in the Sacred Lake, the tomb of the first king of men, according to the legends. For protection, the men ask for help from the stars, and mothers urge support of the Moon. To The Sun, the men ask for mercy before battles. This religion has no religious hierarchy, only the Readers, who are dedicated to decrypt messages sent by the stars. For ceremonial purposes, attends to the Temples in days of clear skies. These temples are gardens with sweeping views of the sky, where visitors can find some peace and comfort.
EDIT: Can anyone put me on the map? It seems that I do not exist XD. Info about cities and such already posted.

Bonefang, do you have a family tree up yet?
Other than that, I thnk I've got the family trees right. Please check. Furthermore, please accompany all marriages and such with a PM to me (perhaps along with your orders), so I don't have to hunt through the thread when I update the trees.

When I make a family tree for my children, does anyone NOT want me to use their families/vassals?

I think I'll go with Popcornlord's suggestion.
Also seems I need to fix his family tree. I mised that part d his post until now.
I hereby proclaim this era the 15th year of the fourth Era of the Dominion of Auronas.

Further suggestions as I work on the map.
The First Era began with the first conquests of the Kings of Auronas. It ends with a desperate war of survival of the dominion against foes on every side.
The Second Era began with the establishments of the first High Lords of Auronas. It ends with the overthrow of Fallos the Bastard of House Destiri and the start of The Bastard Wars.
The Third Era began with the coronation of King Tharius I and the declaration of war until conquest and subjugation of the Innulsi. It ends with the Ursurper's War and the eradication of the main Royal House.
The Fourth Era began with the claims to Kingship, and whence it will end, no one knows.

Thoughts on religion...
As part of my continued quest to force my vision of the imperial culture on you all, I propose the Tenfold Pantheon. The Tenfold Pantheon would be the polytheistic religion of the ruling imperial elite, spread throughout the Auronan dominion over the course of its expansion, contraction, etc and consequently adopted or bastardized by conquered peoples as well as evolved by native worshipers. The Ten Deities of the Pantheon represent the "Virtuous Aspects of Man" and are considered in conflict with the natural evil, greed and corruption of man as well as the natural chaos and disorder of the universe. While originally it was my intention that their names would be that of "good" personality attributes, I've come to the conclusion there's no way to do that without significant overlapping, so if people like the idea even a little bit, suggest names for deities and their various relation to the whole "Virtuous Aspects of Man" bit. Overlapping deities, to a certain extent, is fine. For example, a deity representing loyalty and honor for men, but a separate god(dess) for fidelity in women.

I would think the Ten Deities would be easy to mold with and into the predominent Silver Faiths of the Central-North-West. They would just be the Silver Ones which are officially recognized, while other figures will also be worshipped as "Aspects" or semi-underground.
For the lulz, I just had a thought that our female savior would be named Aitah. hehe. But anyway, our predominant diety, The Almighty Silver Shieldmaiden of the Stars, Savior of Silverdale, would be Daezo. She is a gentile and merciful figure, one who is wise beyond heir visage and who is cunning beyond her innocent eyes. Although she too is a warrior, she bears no physical wound from battle. She loves her people, and in loving them she protects them from the evil and the corruption of the outside world. Her three main aspects are that of a wise, silverhaired child; A lithe, graceful and cunning warrior; and a thoughtful, loving ruler.

I already came up with the banners of my family and my vassals. Is there any program to make them or do I just describe them?
I also would find it best to start negotiations after the update 0. And how is the question of land around the little lake? We will divide them or ...? It's that I really need at least the southern shore of the lake, because the religion of my kingdom.

You can have it. The particulars of where my landholdings are do not matter very much to me, since I got them by taking them after someone refuses to pay us our due.

@Terrance, agreed. I think there are plenty of interesting sociopolitical things you could do with the Tenfold Pantheon, in regards to some kind of Roman Catholic-esque style church potentially reminiscent of GoT's High Septons and the Faith, or alternatively a very loose, pagan worship that is agreed upon and consolidated only inasmuch as the followers generally agree with each other about the nature of the gods. Plenty of other directions to go in with that, as well. I'm seeing the Tenfold Pantheon as being roughly analogous to a mixture of the old Hellenic/Latin deities with Hinduism and Buddhism. Not so much reincarnation and caste system, but much more moralizing than the Hellenic deities, who were mostly about getting drunk up in Olympus and spearing mortals through the chest with thunderbolts at the slightest provocation.

I was actually thinking the 1st era could end with a reforming of the kingdom, from a primitive despotism into a more "modern" feudalistic system. Just to mix it up a bit, since both the second and third eras ended with a large scale war. Although I suppose a war of survival is more dramatic.
I also support the Tenfold Pantheon as the official religion. With the fall of a central authority, it's more likely that a fair number of houses will revert to their own native religions anyways.
@Golden1knight:
I don't know of any programs myself, and have always created flags and banners in GIMP. If you're not very artistic, you can still make something halfway decent by googling designs and layering them over a solid color.

@Popcornlord thanks for the advice.
@Terrance ok, I'll take the lake.
=About religion, the Cult of the Stars may be a kind of heresy which arose in the region. The people of Thamer simply decided that the stars were beautiful, and had as many stars, they just killed two birds with one stone and explained life after death, in which case take the form of subjects of the moon, the stars. Then, there is the sun. Large, bright and hot, obscuring the stars with their brilliance, lighting up the whole sky. So they thought that the sun is powerful and selfish, envious of the stars.
Connecting this with the Cult of the Ten Gods should not be difficult. Probably the native people of the river Thamer must have stolen the idea of ​​a Mother Goddess of the official pantheon, as they did with the Sun, which is perhaps some god who represents strength, or is feared.
Or the Cult of the Stars is nothing more than an ancient religion, which went unnoticed by the ancient kings. In this case, there need be no connection.

I was thinking that a primitive despotism led to the War of Survival, i.e., a very aggressive and hot headed king. He cooled real quickly and had to rely on his trusted advisors, captains rising from the ranks, distant family members and small, allied client states to survived. After securing his kingdom, he made the first High Lords which led to the more modern feudal system of the Second Age.
A different prompt for reformation could be interesting too.
