House Arkandore

House Arkandore is a diverse noble family of individuals originating from the lands around modern-day Egalia and Celtenn. The family currently consists of 15 people, (6 biological, 9 adopted,) and formally controls large swathes of land from Haven to Sparwood although they're primarily based in the western reaches of Niedene.

Aldric
Written history of Arkandore only dates back to Aldric and his books regarding his travels. It can be roughly assumed that House Arkandore initially started out as being a group of nomadic Niedene around the Phagosian Sea coast of Nieden. Following the destruction of Chileambore after the 9 Ring tunnel disaster resulting in the near annihilation of Chileambore and it's population, Aldric would subsequently move into the ruins and would stumble upon the old Chileambore library which had largely avoided the catastrophe. from there, he would read many books in that library, learning Asteri, the basic principles of economics and craftsmanship as a whole. Eventually, an unknown woman would also enter the ruins and after 48 hours between their initial meeting. The woman was pregnant with the late Yerigold Arkandore. After birthing Yerigold, the woman would leave Chileambore for good, never to be seen again leaving Aldric with a bastard son whom he held great disdain for, reminding him of the one who left. 3 years later, Aldric would enter another, longer lasting relationship with a different Nieden woman who would soon birth Izkavel Arkandore who he held much more love for although the mother would die soon after childbirth. Nowadays, Aldric resides in the Arkandore Manor in Egalia and while the relationship between him and Yerigold are much more amicable, it is no where near a healthy relationship.
