House Thorne

​

House Thorne is an ancient Kaelar house. Born first on Verra as diplomats and political advisors to dignitaries. House Thorne made their name for being savvy, and quick witted. They are masters of conversation, and find their greatest pull in matters of the court. The peak of their dynasty was on Verra itself, in alleged negotiations between the Aelan and Pyrain. However, after the fall, House Thorne lost a lot of its influence. The once admired, and intimidating noble house found itself regarded as no more than mere-stewards. An insult, and a slight that would not be forgotten.

 

Luckily, not all was lost. Though the family had lost some of their luster, they had built a web of allies that ensured they kept their station. One such ally, House Kimura, was steadfast in their support. Unlike House Thorne, House Kimura was on the rise, and had built up considerable wealth and a surplus of influence quickly. While their Vaelune ancestry gave House Thorne pause, it was negated by the fact that a union between their families would restore much of what House Thorne had lost, or so they hoped.

 

But as time passed, and the houses were joined, it was evident that whatever was lost would not be returned on Sanctus. With the death of the family patriarch, and their eldest daughter, their survival was very much uncertain.

 

Yet with uncertainty there was possibility. In the present, with the divine gates re-opening to Verra, House Thorne and their allies have banded together, unified as one, to settle anew.

Status & Wealth

House Thorne is moderately wealthy, with a manor and grounds just outside a the major city. But their true influence is in their status as a reputable noble house. They are known for their ancient roots, and connections in various pollical circles of power.

 

Their current liege is the honorable Lord Cassius Thorne. Having recently taken over from his father. While middle aged, he has not married or bore an heir, which has created an air of uncertainty for the future. His sister Cecilia's passing was a difficult time for the family, leaving his mother and father both heartbroken, and Cassius himself nearly brought to his own demise. Sindonie is the youngest of the siblings, and a bit of a black sheep. While estranged, the death of her sister has tempered some bonds within the family. Their mother, Olenna Greythorne serves as the true power, leading the family at her son's side through these trying times.
