House Lochatlan

House Lochatlan is one of the minor noble houses of Anglunia, which is currently headed by Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan (HAMOD_DAD). Residing far to the North from the centre of Anglunia, the house is mainly comprised of pure-blooded Yirsi.

Founding
House Lochatlan was founded by the first Yirsi adventurers who dared cross the Three Fingers straight onto the human lands. Settling in those parts was dangerous, and this occasion forced creation of many smaller houses, but only House Lochatlan would stand the test of time.

Rise to Power
Over time, as the number of smaller houses was going down, House Lochatlan started to take over nearby lands, asserting its control over the Yirsi who lived there. They enforced their rule and kept things organised, however, in the end they never established an independent nation.

Dark Age
In the year 72 SMP some of the lands controlled by House Lochatlan were subjugated by the force of the Kingdom of Anglunia. Lochatlans lost their power to newly appointed lords as their lands became part of Northern Anglunia. The event was embraced by the local populace. Yet nonetheless, Lochatlans kept ruling the little land they still had, followed by only so much devoted supporters.

In the year 113 SMP the few remaining lands of the house once and for all fell under control of Anglunia. This time, House Lochatlan lost all their power, thus entering a dark age.

Norstaeyya
In the summer 115 SMP, the first major Yirsi settlement in Three Fingers was founded by Feyer Yinower-Nuwan, a noble from Anglunia. A decade later the founder of the town of Norstaeyya resigned and Lochatlans finally saw a chance to regain their power over the region they once controlled, yet the title of the new onsyr went to Iliphar Ilyhuryn-Dagella. Soon, it was discovered that Iliphar was planning to demolish most buildings in the town with the goal of its complete and total renovation. Rumours of his plans spread through the populace and caused a major outrage not only amongst Norstaeyyans, but people from other regions of the kingdom as well. Publicly booed and ashamed, Iliphar soon decided to resign, and Hadanna Alsey-Lochatlan was appointed as his successor.

Then, in the autumn 126 SMP Hadanna was appointed as a new ruler of Norstaeyya. She was not, however, entrusted with the title of onsyr due to the small and declining population of Norstaeyya and her controversial political opinions. Instead, she got the title of tilonsyr. Nonetheless, this was at last the chance that House Lochatlan had been awaiting for decades. Hadanna made a perfect leader for the town, and over the time of her rule as tilonsyr Norstaeyya saw a period of growth, when the town got a decent expansion, and some noteworthy buildings were built. For her firm determination she was rewarded with a promotion to the title of onsyr in the year 137 SMP.
