House Xaran

The newest of the Houses of Tamous, House Xaran was founded with the Shifter Wars of 816, after the general who managed to snatch victory from bad situations over and over. Rather than hand the newly-acquired territories over to the old Houses, the king elected to reward his best strategist and the man who ensured victory, Sir Xaran of the Order of Steel.

House Xaran is now in the hands of Sir Xaran's son, Lord Eldorus Xaran. Though Eldorus was Xaran's second son, Xaran's he inherited when his eldest fell ill of a sickness of the brain, and died twelve years ago. Lord Eldorus is hardly a favorite of his House, which is staunchly military. Lord Eldorus is a wizard, however, having studied with a selection of fine magicians throughout Tamous. He also married a foreigner, Ilidaranna, a sorceress that belongs to an outland sisterhood of some kind. House Xaran lays claim to the easternmost portion of Tamous, including Redtooth and Sothwood. Their heraldry is a dragon, colored green, on a field of yellow.
