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.

Myril
Written history of Arkandore only dates back to Myril 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, Myril 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, Myril would enter another, longer lasting relationship with a different Nieden woman who would soon birth Izkavel and Rhiv Arkandore who he held much more love for although the mother would die soon after childbirth of Rhiv. Nowadays, Myril resides in the Arkandore Manor in Egalia and while the relationship between him and Yerigold are much more amicable, it is nowhere near a healthy relationship.

Yerigold Arkandore
Once considered to be at the very bottom of the world, nothing but an insignificant stain on the continent, a bastard rejected by his father and Mother would end up championing the Arkandore family. 3 months after his birth, Yerigold, (Yeri for short,) was left for dead in the isles of Drasil although a group of humans from The Three Thrones travelling to Lileanen would take him with them, naming him Yerigold. For 3 hard years Yerigold would travel with them, learning several languages along the way being nicknamed "Merchant's tongue". When he had arrived in Lileanen, the humans would leave Yeri in the Lileanen orphanage which was something he neither respected or hated seeing the experience as important. A year later Yerigold would become an adopted child of a couple from the prior expedition who'd settled near the outskirts of the city. Yerigold's upbringing was modest but confused as the question "who are my parents?" Still beckoned with him. While in Lileanen, Yeri would show great aptitude for architecture while his parents would help form his silver tongue through their professions of merchantry. His parents would eventually reveal where he was found and recalled also encountering another nieden who was apprehensive towards the group and more specifically the child. After studying infrastructure and economics in Lileanen. He would take his travels to Chileambore where he planned to fill in loose ends to find his father and rebuild the town, he was found near to fulfill himself or possibly attract his father. While in Nis Arkhall, he would meet his eventual wife Sakhe who would come with him to also help rebuild the area. Later on, after marrying Sakhe, they would conceive Uni, the miracle child. Yeri now resides in Egalia which due to his efforts is now one of the most prosperous in all of Escharia Nieden.

Sakhe Arkandore
Sakhe Arkandore, previously Sakhe Chlagn, is a noblewoman and trader from the Akratian Peninsula in Sparwood. Being of middling birth of "upjumped" traders, she was too high of birth to be with commoners and too low for actual nobles. Therefore, she spent the majority of her life at sea, being a famed and influential trader. She also studied architecture, and bought a ruined and dilapidated fortress town Deviks from Burgamere and renamed it to Valeron. During this time, she was also a diplomat for the nation Valeron was in, Valogron and would meet influential and powerful nation leaders. However, she decided that was a tad too boring so she returned to Valeron. There she started to rebuild houses and regrew the population. She decided to also try to build a fleet with her large expertise in sailing. Later on, she adventured to Escharia, and in the town Nis Arkhall would meet Yerigold and became fast friends. They married later on, and would with Yeri start House Arkandore and would together conceive Uni. She resides in the Arkandore manor in Egalia and also in the Fortress City of Valeron now in Valondor.
