Now, their mandate extends to Haelun’or, called forth to occupy and cleanse the scorched remnants of the Silver City. The Druids of Asul’fiyem step forwards to carry the purifying flame of God. These lands, once corrupted by taint and the horror harbored beneath, are now claimed under the sovereign right of restoration and eternal vigilance. The people of Aelwen, the faithful stewards and guardians, are devoted to preserving the cultural heritage of the Elves of old, ensuring that no shadow may ever again fall upon this sacred ground.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Throughout that century, the bond shared between both the Númenedain and Pétrine people remained as steadfast as the waters of the River Petra. Enduring together throughout many trials and tribulations, together both achieved prosperity together in shared purpose and bond. In the years following the eponymous Peace of Nóruiel, this bond was renewed. Within the halls of Cartref Mor this kinship was tested in the opening days of Saint Lucien’s War, yet it emerged stronger than it had once been. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

In recognition of this service rendered and the strengthened bond shared between the Númenaranyë and Pétrine people, the following is decreed. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

Even as they adopted the customs of the Adunians, they have preserved at their core the robust and martial spirit of the Waldenian Highlander.

Today, Margrave Viago Vourkehardt rules with a measured authority and guides the House as it settles into the untainted Azuras with his daughter, Elwine Vourkehardt, as heir-apparent to the grand name.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

Chiefly amongst the clans sits the ancient Clan Kolburanaz, which has ruled over the clans since the age of Athera. The modern-day Colborn and Scyflings originate from the once kingdom of Haense, though they were forced to resettle after the War of Crown and Crozier. The House of Colborn and their people relocated to the Kingdom of Numendil after the war and have proven their loyalty to the crown by aiding the Exilic Kingdom in Saint Lucien’s War. </span></span></span></span></span></span>
