House Kylervus has extensive mercantile investments, and a close personal alliance with several Habersi trading cohorts. Their domain extends between two of the three rivers of the realm, and their seat, the city Taversil, is arguably the largest trading hub in the Crowndom, possibly including Crownhold itself.

Sindanthus Vale

Domain: Hills; Large City, Grasslands, River, Road (Lands 56)
Sindanthus Vale is the seat of House Kylervus, and in many ways the cultural and political center of the Three-Rivers. A land of rolling green hills that abuts the Crownflow River, Sindanthus Vale is cut through by the royal road, which splits once it hits the great city of Taversil.

Rilistus

Domain: Hills; River (Lands 10)
A rougher, hillier domain than Sindanthus Vale, the valleys of Rilistus are home to many of the horse ranches of House Kylervus, whose war horses are the envy of all the Three-Rivers and beyond. Rilistus runs up against the Barrowwash River.

• Horse Husbandry (10W; +1 House Fortune, +1 Wealth gain, war horses cost 40% for House members) + War Herds (5W; -2 cost of Cavalry units)

Tarjoran

Domain: Hills; River (Lands 10)
Similar to Rilistus, the craggy domain of Tarjoran runs along the Barrowwash. Its crumbly hills are home to many of the workaday granite quarries of House Kylervus, ubiquitous white and grey stone often flecked with silver that sees use all throughout the Three-Rivers.

• Quarry (10W; +1 House Fortune, +1 Defense gain) + Stoneworks (5W; +1 Population gain, -2 cost of Artisan)

Members of the House

	Warden Lord Artoran Kylervus Head of House (Status 7) • Warden of Three-Rivers • 43 years The Warden of Three-Rivers inherited lordship of his House and wardenship of Three-Rivers just a little over ten years ago, after his mother died in a horse-riding accident. He is a serious man, very aware of what is expected of him by legacy and liege, and has never given anyone cause to doubt his ability or commitment. Still, he is notoriously humorless, and seems to cultivate no close friends of any sort.
	Lady Entonie Kylervus Consort (Status 6) • 44 years As a girl, Entonie eschewed a position as a handmaiden in favor of squiring for a knight. Though she was awarded her spurs by her sponsor at the age of 20, she did not go on to undertake her Summer Vigil for a single reason: she became pregnant by Artoran, then a dashing young knight. Although tradition maintains that she had the right to her knighthood if she wanted it, she never did, instead becoming Artoran's consort and the mother to his children. It was she who trained her children (including Sinelle) in the use of arms, and she always sits on her husband's war councils.
	Sir Mithrad Kylervus Heir (Status 6) • 24 years Oldest of the Kylervus scions, Sir Mithrad spent the first few years after his knighting in the court of the Crown. His last few years have been spent beside his father, learning how to rule the family's domain and ideally preparing for a role as Warden one day. Mithrad spends several months out of the year in Crownhold, and is a regular in the courts there.
	Sir Walrech Kylervus Secondborn Son (Status 5) • 22 years Knighted when he was 16, Walrech is every inch the young knight. Although he was brash and self-assured, he has spent the last three years at the Gatewatch Academy in Houndsreach. Nearly ready to graduate, Walrech has become a serious young tactician, his natural talents honed by the lessons at the academy.
	Sinelle Kylervus Thirdborn Daughter (Status 4) • 18 years One of the handmaids to Crown Evginda Ylrath herself, Sinelle has been in the midst of courtly intrigues since she was twelve. She has recently returned home to spend some time with her family before she marries her betrothed, Enfendis Vyranthal, of the great House Vyranthal.
	Kedmond Kylervus Fourthborn Son (Status 3) • 12 years Having served as a page at the Crownhold Court for the last four years, Kedmond is a canny young man who knows when to shut up and listen. His father wishes to find him a reputable knight to squire with, although Kedmond himself isn't sure he wants to be a knight.
