House Van D’Evic was founded at the end of 1999 by a group of individuals who had left House Nel'Fray due to a disagreement over house fundamentals.  [[Deitri Van D'Evic]] (a former Nel’Fray Gan) saw the changes that Nel’Fray had undergone, didn’t like any of them, and voiced his opinion on every issue.  He soon realized that this was an uphill battle.  Several of the lower ranking Nel’Fray wanted him to assassinate Khraal and take over the House.  Khraal at one point offered to give Deitri a formal division of House Nel’Fray which would answer directly to him.  Instead, Deitri decided to construct a new household, which stood for the ideals that House Nel’Fray was originally founded upon; an atmosphere of friendship, like-mindedness, common goals, protection, and of course honor.  House Nel’Fray no longer stood for any of these.
 
  
Deitri planned to leave House Nel’Fray at the next meeting of the Gans.  However, when they heard about his new house, they refused Deitri the right to leave of his own free will.  They immediately expelled him from House Nel’Fray without so much as a “Thank you” for his years of support and leadership.  He had hoped for a tribunal in which his case could be decided, but they didn’t even grant him something so minor.  Such is how they treated long standing members; those who had given their all to the household.  It was no matter.  When Deitri left, Taeryn, Breca, Einon, Aurianna, and [[Riff Raff]] went with him.  When the Nel’Fray exiled Deitri from their household, they lost half their numbers.

====Clan War====
+
Founded in 1999 at [[Cuiviëdôr Amarth]] in the [[Emerald Hills]].  Most of the members of this house are currently on hiatus.
Because of the circumstances by which Deitri et al departed from House Nel’Fray, there was a bitter blood feud between the two houses from the start.  By this time, Khraal had returned from Teague, and began recruiting new hellions.  The Van D’Evics were the primary target of Nel'Fray aggression and intrigue, and responded with equal ferocity.  There were several skirmishes at [[Mourningwood Glen]] over the course of that year, none of which were decisive.
 
  
At the Coronation of [[McFadden]] in December 2000, the Clan War reached its peak.  The two houses had been ambushing each other during the course of the entire event.  House [[Redhawk]] (a former ally of the Nel’Fray) got caught in the middle as both sides attempted to hire them to assassinate their rivals.
 
  
At court, the Van D’Evic House was seated at a table when they were approached by [[Larin]].  He leaned over Deitri’s shoulder and informed him that his entire house had been assassinated by poison.  What Larin didn’t count on was that the Van D’Evic Clan had counted on this tactic and taken precautions.  Everyone at the table had either cast curative magic on their food, or was immune to the effects of poison altogether.  When his folly was pointed out, Larin drew forth a dagger, and stealthily stabbed Deitri a few times in the back.

When Larin left, Deitri was resurrected as the Nel’Fray quietly rose from their table and left court.  This action did not go un-noticed by House Van D’Evic, who prepared for the coming assault.  Suddenly the Nel’Fray rushed in to court from the shadows among the trees, and attacked.  The Van D’Evics jumped from their seats and began to fight the Nel’Fray.  Perhaps the most memorable part of this fight was when Einon swung on Tyriss with a warrior improved red weapon, taking out Tyriss’ armor and a tiki-torch with a single stroke of his blade.  The Nel’Fray retreated and the Van D’Evics pursued them into the woods with some of the Redhawks.  All in all, nearly half of court cleared out during this battle.

====PDVFederation====
+
''The Lord and Lady of House Van D'Evic''
Following their memorable defeat at McFadden’s Coronation, the Nel’Fray were not seen at parks or events for over a year.  During this time, House Van D’Evic gradually grew to include [[Shamus the Green]], Alyssiandra, and [[Clio]].  It was at this point that an alliance was struck between Phule’s Company, [[Drunken Wyvern]], and House Van D’Evic, called the PDV Federation.  All three groups worked the required hours to obtain land grants at [[Tanglewood Forest]], choosing to group their parcels adjacent to one another.
 
  
By 2003, Phules company had new leadership and its numbers were declining.  House Van D’Evic could not maintain their land grant, as their numbers declined as well.  Shamus and Alyssiandra left the household, Breca quit Amtgard altogether, Clio went her own direction, and Taeryn joined the army.  The Federation was never officially dissolved, but rather passed quietly out of existence.

====Truce====
+
[[Image:Druss_and_Deitri.jpg]]
The Nel’Fray returned to [[Cuiviëdôr Amarth]] in late 2003. It was then that the truce was struck between House Nel’Fray and House Van D’Evic.  Through a combined effort of attendance, the two houses as well as other individuals, Cuiviëdôr Amarth had attained the numbers required to be promoted to the status of [[Barony]], which it was granted in March 2004 (reign XXXII) by King [[Martello Entropy]].
 
  
In November 2005, there was a falling out between leaders of the two houses, and the truce was ended.  Einon quit Amtgard, Aurianna left House Van D'Evic to return to House Nel'Fray.  There have been no fights at parks or events this time, because nearly all members of both houses went on hiatus from Amtgard.  With such a blow to its population, Cuiviëdôr Amarth never recovered and is now defunct.  It is likely that in years to come, the fighting will continue between these two houses who's histories are so closely intertwined, and yet who are such bitter enemies.
