House conDoin
Archmage_Cataris
House conDoin was a house in The North. They were quite influential until they rebelled with House Hales against the crown. The rebellion was broken by Sarugon VonSchlichten. In the course of putting down the rebellion the house was exterminated. The reason behind rebellion is to be believed that the King of Oren had refused the conDoin their rights to their ancient ancestral lands and House Hales had also been denied on their ancestral lands. They went to many Lords and Ladies asking for aid but there words were heard upon deaf ears and were shooed away. Combined the Houses of Hales and conDoin set out and struck against the weak points of the Kingdom and forced them to spread out their forces. Eventually under the leadership of Sarugon VonSchlichten took many of the Southron lords to the ancient castle of House Hales and set it alight. They say the fires could be seen all the way from Laurelin. House Hales was no more, But mere ash. Sarugon then took the Lords to ConDoin's keep but they had time to flee, The Lady Jyana was never found but they came across the Crypts of conDoin and within found Lord Walter conDoin and his personal guard Hugor. What transpired within that Crypt little is known but it is believed Lord Walter was writing a letter, His last words, Before his death. Notable Members of House conDoin: Frederik conDoin (First of the bloodline), Quentyn conDoin (The Rainbow Knight), Rahkaro conDoin (The Giantsbane), Ranschor conDoin (The Giant). Rumors: Rumors have it that when Lady Jyana disappeared she had fled Far Far North with her household guards. But the household guards without pay disbanded and became sellswords. Now these following rumors are to be highly doubted: It is supposed that the remaining Knight of the House Hales took Elgon as a squire when he was but a lad, perhaps around the age of 8 to 12. Cataris was taken by one of Lord Walter's old friends whom studied Arcane powers and brought him up as his own child. Though only a few men in the world can confirm this, All of them dead or are they? That is the mystery that shrouds the House of conDoin, Whatever happened to the Twins and Lady Jyana? What transpired within the Crypts of conDoin before the House was exterminated? What were Lord Walter's final words?
