House Threnvayi

House Threnvayi is a noble house located in Anglunia currently headed by Severynt Permerydon-Threnvayi. Struggling to maintain power, house Threnvayi currently only consists of its head

Ancient History
The noble house existed long before the Great Lords period, and its members have kept a long and notable account of those who contributed to its fame and wealth.

From oldest to newest, the ancestors have been recorded 300 years after the supposed founding of the family as a branch of the Yirsaad village tribes, then a noble house on its own 200 years after the Rezuraia family founding.

It remains inconclusive if house Threnvayi affiliated from the beginning with house Rezuraia in terms of vassalship, however proof of trade relations date back as far as the village tribes' years. Around Taeral’s ascension, several village families have been united in one entity, forming the blizzard warriors clan. The Threnvayi have not been assimilated and were deemed as OAESTAYI, meaning others or neighbours in traveler's tongue. Three blackstone tablets have been found to be written in early Yirsi’tal, depicting a rudimentary contract between Rezuraia and neighbours, consisting of exchanging goods, mainly pelts for salt and other valuable items monopolized by the Rezuraia clan.

From these documents the founder’s name is found, Threnvaad nei oaestayi, meaning „Threnvaad of the others/neighbours ”, who exchanged „ five ropes of wool and three baskets of neyuntai (unknown plant, others’ plant)” which has been drawn with a sort of yellow aura around it, indicating either its healing properties or its importance to religious matters. The name Threnvaad nei oestayi has been found on many other tablets and even a very sturdy leather parchment which survived to the present for it was encased in ice. 50 years after its first appearance in the dealings between the yirsi, the name and expression „Threnvaad nei oestayi” would be shortened to Threnvayi, and also the plant first discovered by him or her, would be named after them. Not much else is known about this figure, only that after his or her name were shortened to the version known today, this name was used in plural Threnvayiya, meaning Threnvayis, as there were more members with either the same name or belonging to the same Threnvayi group.

A clearer picture is drawn through a hardened clay tablet, burned after it was written. Here the distinction between a singular character and a family is visible:

„The family, Threnvayi, received fifteen ropes of leather and one chest of kemiska of the land Ashurnaghal. The family, Threnvayi, gave back twenty ropes of wool and two steeds of sturdy breed. Neighbours and the family, Syilfiinike, received five chests of kemiska of the land of Ashurnaghal, for good use during the Myirva days. Neighbours and the family, Syilfiinike, traded five sheep and one small chest of raw iron, for good use during Yirsaad’s warm descent, when earth is farmable and wet.”

Trading accounts in times of peace are more frequent in the first era (?), suggesting the founding times were rather peaceful in nature. In the second era (for now we have no idea when it actually started) accounts of trade in times of war and inventories with drawings depicting types of weapon and armor are numerous.

Fall From Power
Recorded Modern History shows house Threnvayi as a family of merchants, dealing in both goods and information with other noble houses and multiple factions in and around Anglunia. All of these deals had been recorded and sealed in parchment with the house coat arms used as a wax seal, the most notable part of these documents is that the words "Yla alenya, yla danya", translating to "Above men, above kings", were written on the back of multiple parchments that had to deal with factions and noble houses outside and sometimes opposing the Yirsidan. This has since been considered the family's motto.

One notable eccentricity of house Threnvayi was the family's fierce denial of Anglunia's naming traditions, not attaching the father's name to the family name. This eccentricity, paired with the discovery of the recorded documents mentioned beforehand, led to the downfall of house Threnvayi as Anglunian noble houses would refuse to trade with the family and it's regions, disallow marriages, and refuse any trading vessels affiliated with the house.

Though the nobility of the house had not been disputed its reputation had been ruined and it could no longer properly function as such.

Return to Nobility
House Threnvayi returned to nobility 10 generations after its downfall when the modern generation of children, Severynt Permerydon-Threnvayi and Bedunn Permerydon-Threnvayi, adopted the naming traditions of Anglunia. Bedunn Permerydon-Threnvayi would not be seen again but Severynt Permerydon-Threnvayi would pledge allegiance to House Rezuraia and become an Onsyr of the town Apriney, regaining some power for the house.
