↳  Galadriel, Lady of Lothlórien from Middle Earth (scenes from The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings).

"In place of the Dark Lord you will set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the Sea and the Sun and the Snow upon the Mountain! Dreadful as the Storm and the Lightning! Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair!"

"NEVER SHALL WE DIE": The name Audraconis is unfamiliar to most because sea fae have been known to keep their family names a secret to other races. In the underwater realms, however, the name Audraconis holds great weight as it belongs to the ruling family of the sea territories. They are respected, but also feared as some of its members are said to be “Stormblooded” (marked with ‘*’ below). Just as the Gods in old lore, they are said to be most “aligned” with the ocean with tempers that can cause deathly storms. House Audraconis is the first in many years to make peace with a race (specifically, sun fae) outside their watery borders.

Their symbol is a whirlpool and their colors are purple and silver.

Mara*, Lady of the Seas » MATRIARCH, mother of 1. Erratic and proud. Her only wish is to uphold her family’s legacy. She believes her daughter is special and has the right to great power.

Luka*, » DAUGHTER of Mara. Sometimes known as Lady Dawnstar (the Common Tongue translation of Áraelen) to land-dwellers. She’s the offspring of a political marriage between Lord Cidriel Áraelen and Mara.

Iona » WIFE of Oren, mother of 1. Not a blood relative of the clan, but respected nonetheless. She’s a bit wary of most, but protective of her loved ones.

Oren, Captain of Red Wave » YOUNGER BROTHER of Mara, husband of Iona, father of 1. A natural leader. He’s not as prejudiced against land fae as his family. He loves to sail ships and owns three of them. One of them, Red Wave, is one of the fastest in all of Avalon.

Tane » ELDEST SON of Oren. The newest addition to the clan. A bit spoiled, but quiet. He’s not fond of his father’s ships and instead stays by his mother, Iona’s, side.

Ales » YOUNGEST SON of Rein. He’s regarded as frail and has an oddly mellow temperament compared to the others. He doesn’t get along well with his brother, Roma.

Roma » ELDEST SON of Rein. Very domineering with a harsh way of speaking. He despises his cousin, Luka, for stealing his place as heir to the family.

Rein* » ELDEST BROTHER of Mara, spouse deceased. Long ago, he was the patriarch and respected by all sea fae and creatures. When his wife was killed by a wood elf, however, he fell into a deep depression and went mad. It’s said that his grief is what caused a great hurricane to occur. He is now isolated from his family and deemed unfit to rule with Mara permanently taking his position.

"WITH BLOOD AND IRON": House Windcaller of Stormhold is the ruling family of Valtheim. They are a clan of strong, bright-eyed snow elves who are said to have been cursed by sorceresses centuries ago. Each member who carries the blood of their cursed ancestors have the ability to shift into a wolf. Though some see it as a “blessing”, many grieve for the fact that they cannot join their forefathers in the afterlife due to the hex.

Their sigil is a wolf and their colors are black and silver.

Ysabel Windcaller, the Fair » SISTER of Ulfric, mother of 2. Spouse deceased. Renowned for her grace and beauty.

Ulfric Windcaller, Lord of Valtheim » PATRIARCH, father of 3. Lord of Stormhold and all of Valtheim. Revered for his wisdom and valor.

Viera Windcaller (neé Blackthorn) » MATRIARCH, mother of 3. Wife of Ulfric. Clever and iron-willed.

Sven Windcaller, the Unseen » ELDEST SON of Ysabel. Ambitious and full of zeal. His stealth during hunts is unmatched.

Ash Windcaller, the Huntress » ELDEST DAUGHTER of Ulfric. Fierce and audacious. One of Valtheim’s finest hunters.

Kaya Windcaller » ELDEST DAUGHTER of Ysabel. Usually seen clinging to her uncle, Alain. A quiet child.

Talion Windcaller, the Unbroken » ELDEST SON of Ulfric. Known as “Winter’s Heir”. His swordsmanship is said to be unmatched.

Alain Windcaller » YOUNGEST SON of Ulfric. A skilled blacksmith with a gentle spirit.

"THE NIGHT IS DARK AND FULL OF TERRORS":  The Desert Snakes of Firdaus is an old and turbulent house in Avalon. They are shrouded in mystery and blood, each son or daughter born to it more cunning than the last. Each member has bright green eyes of their forefather. Legend tells that the blood in the Cerastes family is venomous, and that their venom can be seen in their eyes. Their sigil is a rattlesnake and their colors are copper and olive.

Ahkram » PATRIARCH, deceased. Ahkram was a wise and noble leader of the Desert Snakes. Ahkram died in battle while helping his sons and daughters win dominion over the Howling Wind Mountains.

Ravi » SON of Devas and Alysanne. His father, Devas, was the first son born to Ahkram and Ora. His parents died during the battles in the Howling Wind Mountains. He is now a Bloodrider—Thana’s band of warriors that fight for her. He idolizes both Thana and Cassiel.

Ora » MATRIARCH, deceased. Ora died before Cassiel became a Kingsguard. She was a woman of many talents and a warrior coming from a clan that bred war horses that they trained and rode into battle.

Thana, Great Lord of the East, Queen of Edom » ELDEST DAUGHTER, ruler of the Howling Wind Mountains, Queen of Edom, and one of the Five Great Lords of the East. A skilled and deadly fighter, her weapon of choice being the urumi—a flexible, whiplike sword. The relationship between her and Cassiel has been strained since he joined the Kingsguard—they haven’t spoken since he took his vows.

Sir Cassiel, Kingsguard » SECOND SON, the only living Cerastes son, Cassiel gave up whatever claim he had to ruling Edom when he joined the Kingsguard. He also changed his name, which is customary but not mandatory. He is the first Firdausi to join the Kingsguard as the vows go against Firdausi traditions. Because of this, Cassiel is a bit ostracized from Thana though he gets along well with the rest of his family.

Aurea Ionos » SECOND DAUGHTER, Aurea considered joining the Grey Sisters but never felt the call. She experiences a slight seer ability that helps her identify when something is wrong. She is a healer and lives in Edom with her family.

Sir Eztli Ionos, The Blood Knight  » HUSBAND of Aurea. Eztli was one of Thana’s most trusted Bloodriders before he even asked Aurea to marry him. Despite what his title suggests, he rarely sheds blood in battle, specializing in a combat style that relies on using the opponent’s strength against them.

Shyama Ionos » DAUGHTER of Nyla and Eztli. The newest addition to the family. Already spoiled rotten and cared for by everyone. When she’s not with her mother she’s sitting on Thana’s lap in the throne room.
