House Talmont

House Talmont is a noble house of the Simulami Empire situated in Rathnir. As a minor noble house, it runs a singular minor fortification part of the town Faiien-Avalor. The house originated from the Soleannen Empire as a minor Gentarii house, but overtime moved into the Simulami Empire.

Creation
House Talmont was founded by the Talmont Family hundreds of years ago, who were decently wealthy farmers in the Soleannen Empire. The family eventually came into possession of a run-down fortification which they rennovated, giving them enough legitimacy to become a minor noble house.

Migration
After the collapse of the First Soleannen Empire and the chaos that followed, they fled east into Krobuny land. WIth the Krobuny people having recently established themselves in eastern Nieden, House Talmont resettled themselves in eastern Nieden, however with no Noble titles. Eventually, due to intermixing with the local Krobuny, the Niedene house became partially Manakrin, making the Niedene in the house infertile, resulting in the house becoming majority Krobuny.

Re-establishment
With the house's numbers having slowly recovered after their migration, they looked to religitamize themselves as a minor Noble house. This resulted in the head of the house, Almar, reaching out to another Manakrin-Gentarii Niedene called Avrein, who offered the house a small fortification that had been recently incorporated into Faiien-Avalor.

Religion
House Talmont has historically been an Ehrlinnen Soleannen house, who converted to Soleviel when it split from the main Soleannen Church. However, due to Almar's travels in eldham as a boy, he converted to the Shattered Faith, converting the house along with himself. The placing of the shattered faith as the primary religion in the Simulami Empire's Rathnir holdings further emboldened the house, who have become more devout in their faith with a majority of the house now following the Shattered Faith.

Culture
Although originating as a Gentarii Niedene house, due to the house now being majority Krobuny its culture has adapted to this, and it has now been fully assimilated into Simulami Culture.
