Faction Ranks

• Favored: Rank 1. You are a favored member of the House. If you are a scion of the House, you have pleased the patriarch sufficiently to gain his notice. If you are an agent or retainer of the House, your efforts to aid the House have gone well-noted. • Lynchpin: Rank 3. You are given a position of some responsibility in the House's operations. If you are a Husteem, the patriarch considers you one of the favored scions of the House, and consults with you on matters of House importance. If you are an agent or retainer, your contributions and skills in service of the House have won you a position of no small regard and respect in the patriarch's eyes - although that may earn you the jealousy of his blood kin who are less favored than you. • Matriarch/Patriarch: Rank 10. You are the acknowledged and legal head of the household.

Members of the Family

Main Branch

	Thesp Eltorchul Patriarch (Rank 10) • 55 years The wizard patriarch of the Eltorchul family and master of the Eltorchul Academy, Thesp is an extremely well-known wizard. He maintains a number of allies of somewhat unsavory character, including Maaril and Meleghost Starseer, the high priest of the Temple of Mystra.
	Arus Eltorchul Consort (Rank 9) • 39 years Thesp's beloved is a fine mage himself, and a teacher at the Academy. He started as an apprentice of Thesp (he was sixteen at the time), and within several years the two became lovers. It was Arus who encouraged Thesp to have children, and while Thesp is often very involved in the myriad politics and academics of his work, Arus is an excellent and loving father.
	Elemia Eltorchul Firstborn daughter (Rank 4) • 22 years Elemia is a young wizard of some skill who felt the call to join Mystra's priesthood. She is a favorite novice of her "Uncle" Meleghost, only too willing to take advantage of the familial connection with her superior.
	Oth Eltorchul Heir, secondborn son (Rank 5) • 20 years A slightly chubby young man, Oth is enrolled at the Eltorchul Academy, and seems well-suited to the work of wizardry.
	Fea Eltorchul Thirdborn daughter (Rank x) • 17 years A bright young wizard herself, Fea has immensely enjoyed her Coming Out events, and has ridden the magical opulence of the events to a place of genuine popularity in the younger Waterdhavian set.

Helidar's Branch

	Helidar Eltorchul Patriarch's brother (Rank 8) • 52 years Like his older brother, Helidar is liyan, and happily wed to his consort, Tyanda. Also like his brother, Helidar is a wizard, and teaches magic at the Eltorchul Academy. Unlike his brother, however, Helidar enjoys nights out in Twilight Vaeteru, where he originally met Tyanda.
	Tyanda Eltorchul Helidar's consort (Rank 6) • 48 years Another instructor at the familial Academy, Tyanda is a skilled saece artisan as well, of the degree of skill that marks her as tazessar. She prefers to go about in public in saece, as well - not out of any desire to deceive, but because she considers her male identity as Modis to be personal and for family alone.
	Ser Eltorchul Helidar & Tyanda's firstborn son (Rank 2) • 20 years Though Ser is undoubtedly the perfect son, he has never been the perfect brother. He is always withdrawn from his siblings, spending a great deal of time away from home, practicing his weaponry. His siblings believe he must be up to something else as well.
	Arveene Eltorchul Helidar & Tyanda's secondborn daughter (Rank 0) • 20 years Known for chasing married men, Arveene's bright blue eyes give her an innocent quality that so many of her paramours seem to be drawn to. Arveene is not herself a magician, although not for lack of talent - she simply has no interest in the endless studying needful.
	Morn Eltorchul Helidar & Tyanda's thirdborn son (Rank 1) • 20 years Quietest of the siblings, but a talented singer, Morn's own magical talents lean more towards bardic arts than wizardly ones. He is most content either in the gardens of his family estate, practicing his music, or in one of the salons of Twilight Vaeteru (he has never taken a lover of either gender, but simply seems to prefer the glamour of Vaeteru).
	Jhessail Eltorchul Helidar & Tyanda's fourthborn daughter (Rank 2) • 20 years This young woman's skill with magic certainly has potential, and she is generally agreed to be in line to be an instructor at the Academy some day. She and the youngest, Ran, are close, though that did not prevent her from absconding with his paramour Tarrak Zulpair in recent days, causing something of a rift between them.
	Ran Eltorchul Helidar & Tyanda's fifthborn son (Rank 0) • 20 years Considered the youngest of the siblings, Ran is an apprentice at the Academy, an enthusiastic pankrator at the Pankratium Triumphant, and a frequent attendee to Twilight Vaeteru. Though he once fostered ambitions to saececraft like his mother, he abandoned them shortly after his Presentation.

Other Branches

Rinorr Eltorchul Patriarch's Cousin (Rank 2) • 19 years One of several cousin lines, Rinorr is one of the few extended family with magical talent, a fact that sets him in good stead with the House as a whole. A brilliant student (even if the rest of the family finds his fascination with corvids a bit...de classé) who is also the best of friends with Elemia (and part of the Crownstaves clique right along with her).

Rumors About House Eltorchul

According to rumor...

• The "five magical babes" of Helidar and Tyanda were not conceived by magic, but by infernal pacts!
