House Goldnyr

One of the many Great founding Houses of Anglunia, along with Blizun, Nuwan, Rezuraia, Vindya and Betal'lan. Currently the House rules Three Cities - The mighty fort of Arrowfell in the north, the Beating Industrial City of Austonia, and the renowned port of Rannikko that houses the mighty warships in times of peace. They are renowned fighters and warriors, willing to come to the call of Anglunia should she need their assistance in the field of battle. This legacy has persisted from the start of their family records, with tales of daring courage and ferocious strength the theme of their frequently told stories.

They are an accepting House. Willing to choose the rare option of adopting members as well as befriending many strange creatures. Some say this stems from them not wanting others to feel shunned as they were by the pure Yirsi houses all those years ago.

Ancient History
The five Great Yirsi houses stormed Isaz to reclaim it as rightfully theirs, with the aid of house Goldnyr - who betrayed the city and fought alongside the elves. This bought them high respect among the Yirsi clans, but their willingness to betray made them outcasts along with their human status in the fledgling Yirsi nation. As the centuries passed, the mistrust subsided as over and over Goldnyr shook off their status as betrayers and backstabbers in favour of being a dependable clan in times of war.
