House Name: House Nelkadian
House Banner: A dark red gem upon a royal blue field.
Description of House: House Nelkadian is an ancient house descending from the lines of the old Dwarven Empire. Its rulers have always held to a strict adherence to the ancient customs of the ancient dwarves. Most of House Nelkadian's ancestors have held a deep distaste for elves and often refused to let go of their old traditionalist ways. They were one of the last houses to submit to Titus Rahtis and only did so once their underground cities ran out of supplies. House Nelkadian has built a strong reputation for being amazing smiths capable of building most anything. The dwarven smiths loyal to the Nelkadians often boast that their steel is the best in the realm. House Nelkadian is notable for being rather isolationist and rarely take part in the conflicts of the Empire. They see the conflicts of the South as foolish and would rather tend to their own affairs instead of getting involved. However they are easily offended and often headstrong, but their fiery tempers can be smoothed with a cask of any sort of mead or ale. They can often be heard speaking Khazalid within their own courts. Until very recently, only dwarves lived in the Nelkadian's realm of Mereldar. When Mekdar took the throne, he opened the great Korek Gates of Mereldar to welcome all races into the realm.
What is House's view on the Empire?: House Nelkadian has no feud with the Empire, but can often be heard insulting the Southerners for their petty feuds.
Description of Head of House: Taslon Nelkadian, male dwarf, 24 years of age. Taslon is the first-born son of Mekdar and Heldraa Nelkadian. Unlike his father, Taslon is headstrong and stubborn much like most dwarves. All of his life, he trained to be a warrior and is one of the most talented Dwarven fighters in the Empire. Taslon has been spoiled by his mother all of his life and was raised as the "perfect lord." He is by no means a scholar and is no where near as innovative as his late father was, but many traditionalists believe he will be effective after many years of having a more liberal ruler. He has only just been crowned as the Lord of his ancestor's realm, and all wait to see what kind of ruler he will be.
Description of Relevant House Members: (name, age and sex and any other info)
Heldraa Nelkadian, female dwarf, 42 years of age. Heldraa is the widow of Mekdar and the mother of Lord Taslon. Heldraa was born from a prominent family within the realm and was arranged to be married to Mekdar Nelkadian. Heldraa is by no means a warrior, but it has always been said that she could kill a man with her stubbornness. She is rarely seen happy, and many whisper that it is due to her unhappy marriage. Now that her husband is dead, it is her that holds sway over her son.
Poctara Nelkadian, female dwarf, 22 years of age. Poctara is the sister of Taslon. She is more like her father than any of her sibilings and was rumored to have been the closest to him. She is disgusted by the traditionalist dwarves and disagrees with their policies of isolation. Before her father died, she left the realm and traveled to the Imperial capital to serve under the Emperor. Due to her knowledge and innovation, she was raised to the position of High Lady Treasurer.
Golstan Nelkadian, male dwarf, 53 years of age. Brother of Mekdar and General of the Nelkadian forces.
Hadron Nelkadian, male dwarf, 17 years of age. Brother of Taslon and Poctara.
Altar Orentius, male dwarf, 76 years old. Blacksmith of Mereldar. People come from all over for his steel.
Lyeria Kaldara, female elf, 88 years of age. Lyeria is the court mage of Mereldar. She was one of the first elves to come to the dwarven civilization and became one of the closest advisors to Mekdar. It was said that she was also his mistress which has led to a feud between her and Heldra. She is immensely wise and worldy, for she has spent her life travelling the world. She is a powerful mage, but many distrust her on the account that she influenced Mekdar's liberal reforms.
