House of Averiaso
"The Righteous"
Mithrendain Influential Families
As with any city, there exist certain families well-known amongst the locals. All players are welcome to view the available characters within each family lineage and register that character as their own. Once the character is registered, it will be updated on the website and unavailable to other players.
Please honor the family tree and brief history. You are welcome to build your own character personalities, first names, etc. Note: If your family lineage is rumored to have ice magic, do NOT play your character with fire magic. Honor the story. If your character does not get along with the character that is your 'brother' or 'sister' in the family lineage, deal with it. All families have strife, and this is a great way to lock into immediate storylines and have connections amongst the players of the room. Keep 'In Character' strictly in character...and keep 'Out of Character' strictly out of character.
You are welcome to play your own character which is unrelated to any Mithrendain family. This is simply an option for added fun.

About: The House of Loltur carries centuries of impressive warriors under its lineage. Once capable of telepathy in all forms, the House of Loltur produced the finest warriors whom excelled in battle due to their talents. Over time, the Loltur bloodline has diluted and thus have the powers of telepathy suffered. The House of Loltur still functions as a warrior's lineage, however they often struggle to uphold their superior reputation as their powers of telepathy now only extend from one Loltur to another Loltur, severely limiting their advantage in battle.
Family Dynamics: Prideful and gregarious, the Loltur hold high expectations for one another in regards to warrior training.
Family Alignment: Varies
Primary Power: Telepathy (Limited To Other Loltur)
House of Loltur
"The Telepaths"
About: The House of Rodisi is one of constant evolution, starting at the early age of 10. Shifters complete a spiritual journey in which they hunt and kill their desired spirit animal. It is through this blood sacrifice that they bond with the spirit of the animal, drawing their shifting powers from that animal kin. It can be a mutual union or a forced arrangement, and as a result the Rodisi are constantly balancing roles and powers between themself and their animal spirit.
Family Dynamics: Rodisi shifters often align with one of three packs: Toruch (Good Alignment), Kaeng (Neutral Alignment), Warlor (Evil Alignment). Despite the various alignments, Rodisi are territorial of their own and often are seen traveling in groups rather than loners.

House of Vugol
"The Venom-Blood"

It is rumored that for centuries the family introduced poisons into their bloodstream from infancy to adulthood to prevent attacks and demise (natural or plotted). Over time, their bodies naturally produced the poisons and antibodies through mututation.
Family Dynamics: Immune to poisons, their blood is likewise poisonous to attackers. Antedotes are available to those whom suffer from the ingestion of the Vugol blood, but often this requires the victim to agree to unfavorable demands. Sadly, the Vugol are the only source of healing in these cases.

About: The House of Dasios is rumored to originate from celestial angels. Narcissism drove two angels, Delz and Etora, to form their own order of government. After interfering with the fates of humans, the Gods cast the two from the heavens whom found solace in one another on the earthly realm. Birth of four children was the result, though the arrogance and eogism of Delz and Etora eventually was too prevalent to maintain their relationship.

Family Alignment: Varies
Primary Power: Celestial and Demonic
House of Dasios
"The Fallen"
House of Toruv
"The Cold Ones"
About: The House of Toruv is an ancient house of Mithrendain and yet remains free from the politics led by the other houses. Self-ruling and traditional in their familial hierarchy, it is no wonder they find little desire to look outside of their own sect when far too devoted to their internal reign.
Family Dynamics: The Toruv are almost cult-like in their devotion to their house. Despite pride in their race, loyalties do not always extend to one another. They are often driven by territorial alliances amongst themselves. It is not uncommon to be favored one day by the majority only to fall out of favor the next. They are not limited by sunlight, but rather are able to exist much like humans. Their natures are those of immediate gratification and extremely dangerous when provoked. They typically feed only on the willing to avoid external war.
Family Alignment: Varies
Primary Power: Blood Magic
House of Navarre
"The Masters"
About: The House of Navarre is established in the traditions of trade connections (poltical, material, slavery, etc). Comprised of masters and mistresses of the Navarre bloodline, they hold immense wealth and power made possible by protected trade routes and connections with creatures of all walks of life. This house does not force slavery, and takes pride in their house slaves and personal pets as if a cherished family member.
Family Dynamics: There are certain expectations the Navarre have of one another, particularly in the representation of their family name. They pride themselves on the exquisite deliverence of dominance, taking into account the cruel manipulations of emotional, physical, and social methods of punishment and rewards. Siblings and cousins feel ownership over one another despite equality, and it is very difficult for those outside of the Navarre bloodline to find themselves welcomed with open arms by Navarre family members.
Family Alignment: Varies
Primary Power: Trade Connections & Knowledge of Secrets
