| − | ====Beginning====
| |
| − | | |
| − | Founded in 1999 at [[Cuiviëdôr Amarth]], the original group was made up of individuals who had left House [[Nel'Fray]] due to a disagreement over house fundamentals. Most of the members of this house are currently on hiatus.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Clan War====
| |
| − | 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 Acolytes. The Van D’Evic 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 he and his entire house had been assassinated by poison. What Larin (and those who hired him) didn’t count on was that the Van D’Evic had anticipated this obvious tactic and taken precautions. Everyone at the table had either cast curative magic on their food before hand, or was immune to the effects of poison altogether. When his folly was pointed out, an embarressed Larin drew forth a dagger, and quickly stabbed Deitri a few times in the back before making his escape.
| |
| | | | |
| − | After Larin left, Deitri was resurrected as the Nel’Fray 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’Evic 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. This duel ended in a simo-kill. The Nel’Fray retreated and the Van D’Evic pursued them into the woods with some of the Redhawks. All in all, nearly half of court cleared out during this battle.

| | | | |
| − | Later that night Khraal was walking through Tanglewood when he happened upon Deitri, Aurianna, and Einon. Words were exchanged between Einon and a very self righteous Khraal, who said that the attack had been his way of putting the disagreements behind him, and accepting House Van D'evic as his nemesis. Then he raised his head and turned his back on Einon, who didn't catch the intended insult (Deitri had to explain it to him).

| − | ====PDV Federation====
| |
| − | House Van D’Evic gradually grew. 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. The Federation was never officially dissolved, but rather passed quietly out of existence.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Truce====
| |
| − | 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]].
