House Eilzorwyn -- One god, one goal, one people -   Eilzorwyn has often petitioned for the purity of the elvish empire.  They feel that the inclussion of the other races have tainted their purity.    Most of house Eilzorwyn do grudgingly acknowledge that Centaurs, Pegasus, and Unicorns are all of Elf blood, some do not.   The house feels elves rightful place in the scheme of things are the sole reigning race.

House Carfora - None shall be left behind - During the Dwarven war, the Dwarves made it deep inside of elven territory.   The dwarven army was overrunning the elves.   House Carfora stood strong before them.  They swore "None shall be left behind" and they held the line as the elves were able to rally and take their wounded from the battlefield.   House Carfora stood strong as the fey fell back and regrouped, and it was House Carfora that stood strong and held back the dwarven army was when a counterstrike was being formed.  The leaders House Carfora always draws a line upon the ground and that line will represent as far as House Carfora will fall back.

Thiala, Lady of House Carfora:   She once stepped down from the leadership of the Carfora family, in order to search for herself and what she wanted from her life.     Her search took her to live in the wild, calling nature and the forest her home.    It was there that she met her soon to be lifelong companion, Elen, a splendid specimen of a gray wolf.   Elen and Thiala became inseparable as Thiala continued to learn more about nature, music and the beauty of the wild.    It was here in the peaceful wild, she discovered what her destiny truly was. As a matriarch of a great house, Thiala had power in her hands that could help change the world.     She knew that there were corrupt that always tried to ruin it the world for other, that was partially the reason Thiala had left her home.    She was sick of all of the politics and  since she had stepped down as head of her house, she knew that corruption was running deep with House Carfora. The past was past and she could not changed the choices that she had made, but she could though change the tomorrow.    The Carfora family was experiencing a decline in both grace and power.  Within, those that wanted nothing more than to use the proud name to further their own ambitions existed.   Yet no one seemed to be doing anything to fix the problem.   Thiala  that certain elements wanted her proud house to fail and be removed as a ruling house.     She would not allow this to happen to her House.      Thiala know that what her house had been lacking was a strong figurehead.   The ministers of the house had failed it, now their leadership needed to be challenged.    Where once House Carfora was a bulwark of greatness among the elves, it now was a bunch a spineless naysayers.   Things had to change if the house was to survive. Now Thiala tries to hold her House together through internal strife, financial shortcomings and corruption from within.   The fate of House Carfora rests with Thiala.          Thiala motto:  "We once claimed none shall be left behind.  Now, we are being left behind.   That ends today, we who once held the line against invaders to the empire, shall hold the line to against the descent of our proud house.  No farther shall we go.   We shall stand here and make ourselves known; we are House Carfora.   Today, we shall hold the line." House Annag Deeds not words - House Annag does not believe in making speeches or flowery parades, they believe in deeds.   The house speaks little, but their actions prove their intent.  House Annag believes that the elves should rule through deeds, that what they do is far more important than what they say.   House Annag is ashamed that the elves were not at the forefront of the Demon Wars, and it was the humans that first rallied and even came to their aid.   The actions of such have made House Annag very repentive, they have sworn that is such ever comes again, they will lead the attack.  It was their house that sent out an airship to save Sofona when Alexios informed the council of the attack in the south.   Ever vigilant against attacks and against dishonor, House Annag often reminds other houses that it was the elves, not the humans that held back during the Demon War.  Bonus - _+1 to all attacks   Negative - 2 diplomacy, Bluff, and performance  House Giorsal - In ancestral footsteps we tread.   House Giorsal remembers the old ways.  They remember when the word 'Elf' brought fear to the world.  They remember when humans would make sacrifices to the elves as they would gods.  They remember when elves would ride into villages and the villagers would would offer tribute to the elves so that the elves would not harass them.   House Giorsal remembers the grandeur of the elves and want to return to such.   House Giorsal wants the world to once more fear the elves.  Bonus +2 intimidation to non elf races, -2 diplomacy races.  House Jenif - Fighting forever for honor and truth.   Without Truth, there is only lies.  Without Honor, there is nothing but dishonor.   Without purpose, there is nothing but chaos.   With law, there is nothing but the undisciplined masses.   House Jenif is the metropolitan center of the empire.  It is the first major house after the wood elves domain.  It is here that the festivals are held, and it is here that the largest marketplace is found.   House Jenif represents the law of the land.  It is because of their strict interpretation of the laws and their formidable House Guard that citizens feel safe within their province.  They believe that freedom means the freedom to do things right. Bonus  House Setant - Only the Goddesses Can Bring Salvation  House Setant is the self-proclaimed holy warriors of the Thechlon.  Whereas House Gwenledyr is seen as the religious focal point of the elves, House Setant is seen as the holy crusaders of the elves.   When House Fenleth rallied and brought the wounded back from the battlefield, it was House Setant that held the field battle and watched over their withdraw.    When House Setant takes the field, they will not leave until either they are dead, or their enemy is slain.  The member of House Setant has the lowest life expectancy among elves due to their almost fanatical belief that to die in battle is a guarantee of salvation.   They do not fear death, because death is but one step closer to the glory of the gods.

There are 3 Greater Wood Elf Noble Houses.   These 3 houses are the largest of the noble houses by sheer population and diversity.   Two of the houses ( Barabal and    Ulatris)  sit upon the council to represent the interests of the wood elves.  Even though the wood elves hold the least number of seats on the council, the sheer size of their houses and the fact that the three houses protect the borders of the elves gives them a lot of leverage upon the council.   When Thechlon reclaimed land from Trapelea and annexed lands from Oroford, the control of those dominions fell under the Wood Elves.    House Barabal -- Ever the same, ever the different House Barabal at one time stretched as far north as Oroford.  The dwarves fought bravely and forced the elves back to their forests.  When the Battle of the Trackers' Virtue was decided, the dwarves held Oroford, but they lost all the settlements south of Oroford to the elves.    The lands that had once belonged to the dwarves were now elvish lands, including the inhabitants.   Several hundred of thousand Dwarves found themselves under the watchful eye of the empire.  Strangely and to the surprise of the dwarves, the elves welcomed the dwarves into their empire.  All they expected was the loyalty and respect of the dwarves.   This actually took back the various clans that had been ceded into the empire.    The elves were actually smart in doing such, by welcoming the dwarves, they were able not only to gain powerful allies, but also learn more about dwarvish military tactics.   Dwarves now hold lofty positions within the empire.      So, what once a hereditary enemy became staunch supporters of the empire.   The Dwarves of Thechlon think of themselves as full members of the empire and will defend the empire against any and all outsiders, including other dwarves.   Bonus feat Endurance - Negative -2 charisma-based skills non-Thechlon Dwarvish House Sylxalim -- Walking hand in hand - House Sylxalim has an important job, that job is to keep the peace.  Within the domain of House Sylxalim over 80% of the centaurs live, over 90% of all fey folk live, over 2/3 thirds of the wall is maintained.   Because of this, House Sylxalim hardly if ever takes a position on the High Council.   Their Head of House and Captain of the Guard are busy maintaining both the security of the province and the peace between all of the races within Sylxalim.    House Sylxalim walks a thin line between making sure the elves of Thechlon are protected and happy and that all the various races within Sylxalim are kept happy.   Because of this, House Sylxalim has learned to be the most political of house, without being political within the council.  Bonus: Your base land speed increases by 10 feet (if you don't have a land speed, apply the benefit to whichever of your speeds is highest). Negative Subtract 1 from your hit points gained at each level, including 1st (The Character will always gain minimum 1 hit point per level). Sorisana, Lady of House Sylxalim:   Sorisana loves the simple things of the life.    She appreciates art, nature, music, dance and she often let herself be carried away by events.     Thanks to her deep friendship with Alexios, the centaur captain of the Sylxalim guard, she learned how to not only handle a weapon, but to become a master of fencing.    Alexios, the centaur has been her instructor in martial arts and also her closest confidante. Sorisana has managed to combine the art of the sword with dance, creating a lethal mix of decisive and unpredictable thrusts and blows, capable of defeating even the most difficult of enemies. Sorisana's life has had more than its fair share of failures, but thanks to her perseverance, she has overcome personal tragedy and has learned to appreciate the here and now.   She is helpful and friendly to everyone, which leads her to befriend anyone be it human, dwarf, elf, centaur, or fey.  She hardly ever seems out of sorts, grumpy or even unpleasant those around her.  However, she is extremely protective of those she has a deep affection for, such as Alexios and his family, which makes her very dangerous if those she value are wronged.  Sorisana would and has traveled across seas and mountains to hunt down a wrongdoer and kill them.   With enemies she has no mercy. Her blades speak for her. Of the Sylxalim family, she is the most influential, due to her extraordinary fighting ability as well as her innate political sense that she manages to put everyone in agreement, to heal friction, riots with her mere presence.  She is highly respected by her peers and even rivals, due in part to her well-known fairness and that they fear her wrath, as she is able to annihilate an scores of opponents on her own, despite her graceful figure. Sorisana motto is, " I am always ready to aid my friends and to kill my enemies." House  Ulatris   -- Spirits watch over us. House Ulatris was the beginning point of the elvish conquest of the human lands.  House Ulatris is one of the most diverse of Houses.   The province made up of various settlements all under the rule of the nobles of House Ulatris.  Bonus feat- Jack of all trades.
