Sun Elf Houses

House of the Firstborn

("Bayt al-Bakr")
Effendi Ima al-Bakr - Sun Elf Arch Druid Circle of the Sun
Of all the noble families currently in the City of Viriscali, the Bayt al-Bakr is believed to be the most ancient and powerful. It is commonly held that they are descendants of the first Sun Elves. Whether this is true or the product of long-term efforts to spread this belief is not entirely certain. Despite their noble ancestry and supposed power, al-Bakr is a house in steep decline with all the wars. With all their might dissipating before them, there is a growing sense of hopelessness that seems to pervade the core of the house. Many members of the clan have grown to accept the decreased status of al-Bakr with a touch of melancholy. An added burden to these efforts has been the Pasha’s secret police forces who seem to keep a constant watch over al-Bakr.

House Ayarra

*Sun Mark
Effendi Iben d’Arraya - Sun Elf - Leader of The Sun Sentinels
The Sun Sentinels is an order of holy warriors who have decided to fight in the name of the Summer Court. Sentinels can be found journeying various planes, finding lost Sun Elves, wiping out the agents of the Winter and Fallen Courts, and any other "abominations" they might come across (such as vampires, werewolves, and hags). They also gather around known portals to the Field of Reeds. Sentinels can often be found walking in groups along roads, or individually in certain places. Any Sentinels that are not in combat will cure any diseases you have, if asked. If you have lycanthropy, they will not attack you unless you approach them in beast form. The Sentinels' base of operations is in Ubeda.

The Elves of House Sivis have carefully cultivated the peoples around them since the Sun Elves first received their marks.

For this reason, House Sivis has remained above reproach and their services are indispensable. House Sivis possesses the Mark of Scribing. This mark grants various magical benefits related to written and verbal communication. It is through the auspices of Sivis that one can communicate with another across continents almost instantaneously. House Sivis members also act as translators for scribes, diplomats, and other dignitaries. Being the first to manifest their mark, they helped develop the rest of the dragonmark houses and continue to develop the process for enhancing them. Some of its members have affiliation with Ioun the Goddess of Knowledge, Skill, and Prophecy. Sages, seers, and tacticians revere her, as do all who live by their knowledge and mental power.
