House Trakand

A Household within HFS

trakand.jpg "For honor, truth, and courage; may the rose forever bloom."

Description

House Trakand is an extended family, with members residing in almost all of the kingdoms of the Combined Realms. Among its members, it boasts knights, lords, ladies, higher castes of nobility, and even a troll. (Trapdis, the troll, was actually taught to read, write, and even eat with silverware by the Lady of the House -- although the Lord of the House claims the troll was tamed more through his judicious use of what came to be known as "the stick" than by any kindness shown by the Lady.)

Other members include the before-mentioned troll, called Trapdis, and several other members of Silver Spire and even persons who reside in other kingdoms.

History

Honors and Awards

  • Order of the Lion from Kingdom of Silver Spire awarded 30th day of the 9th month of the year 2000 by King Davin Brillo dela Estrella
  • Order of the Keep from Kingdom of Silver Spire awarded 8th day of the 5th month of the year 2004 by Chancellor Lady Anastacia Lightlock

Founders

The Lord of the House is Dalan Trakand. He began as a simple mercenary, but won fame and fortune in the wars and, in recognition of his service to the Kingdom of Silver Spire, was soon given a title of nobility. Since then, he earned Knightnood and became a reknowned and well-respected leader of the kingdom, gaining in prestige and rising through the ranks of nobility. He is, currently, the Steward of the kingdom, having been warlord when the king himself betrayed the kingdom. Dalan took the reins of power in an effort to hold the kingdom together and prevent its fall into chaos and anarchy.

The Lady of the House is Catrysa Trakand. She began as a barmaid, who caught Dalan's eye when he was only a mercenary soldier. Dalan won her after courting her for a long time, and she was elevated to noble status, as his wife, when he attained that status. Later, our of recognition of her own service to the kingdom, she was given title of nobility in her own right. She eventually even earned Knighthood for herself, although her knighting was for her skill in Arts and Sciences, rather than in skill in battle (which is the reason for which her husband was knighted). Although Dalan is the head of the House, Catrysa is the "glue" that holds the family together.

The family's "grumpy old grandpa" is Aran Lighttreader. Master Scout, Master Reeve, and perhaps the only person in all the Combined Realms who would refuse knighthood if it were offered to him, Aran joined with Dalan and Catrysa in the founding of House Trakand.
