PROBABLY ALL OF THEN ELVEN HOUSES IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER #

[merlinscribe]

Good evening, my friends and fellow adventurers. Below the cut are my essential notes about the Hundred Houses. There should be no spoilers for the current trilogy there, but read at your own risk.

Most of these entries are necessarily incomplete; this is basically where I note particular facts about each House as it arises in the narrative.

Also, there are probably some errors here when the stylesheet was Overtaken By Events. Feel free to query. I promise I will answer all of these comments EVENTUALLY.

There's a Mangiralas and a First Mangiralas? Nadalforo is dead? She's alive in the book excerpts you've written so far for Winds of Fate, at least.

A few more questions:

As Ladyholder Domorothion was a Lightborn, was she Aramenthali's Chief Lightborn as well?

Who is Aesalion (son of War Prince Cirandaerion)?

May have more as time goes by.

Also, I am writing stories based on the world of Obsidian, specifically Lightborn in the Era of Vieliessar. Is that suitable? I keep to canon lore as best as possible, but may sometimes make extrapolations.

There *was* a Mangiralas and a First Mangiralas, but that was before I cut out 1/3 of the book at my editor's order. Similarly, Nadalforo died in Mangiralas, but when I had to cut the entire subplot involving the other mercenary company, I needed to "revive" her.

Ladyholder Domorothion was not Aramenthiali's Chief Lightborn: as per tradition, that would have been Bervaset Lightsister, who was Lord Manderechiel's personal Lightborn. (When Elves hold multiple titles or ranks, the highest title available takes precedence, so "Ladyholder" over "Chief Lightborn".)

Aesalion is another of those mercenaries whose stories have been erased from the published version. And yes! He was of Cirandaerion, so full marks there. He was Asevaleiris of Cirandaerion, and yes, Giralein was his mother.

I am delighted to hear you are writing Lightborn fanfic! Let me know where you post it, because I will be fascinated to see if your extrapolations match mine...

OOOOOOH!

Could you go into some short detail on what happened then? All these tidbits are so interesting and would have expanded the story so much more.
I wish you could just publish the unofficial versions! They'd be so much better.
