Sun Elf House

Post by Alinor » Thu Jul 18, 2013 9:58 am

Regarding Sun Elves and Houses. I've read that Sun Elves may RP as a member of a noble house without an application. I have a few questions about this. Would I just pick a house I'd want the character to be from and RP it as such? Does it matter which house? If I were to meet someone in game who happened to be from the same house would we just be distant cousins who may or may not have met? Just any basic info along those lines would be appreciated.

As far as I know, you can pick any House you want, barring the 4 fallen Houses. As far as RP goes, it would probably be up to the player of the other PC. Siblings no longer require applications either, so you could possibly be immediate family if both players were cool with it.

Aside from the bad houses such as Vyshaan etc. there are houses of legendary heroes or rulers such as house Irithyl or the Moonflowers of Evermeet that will most likely recquire an application, or at least should. Also there are some houses that have perished and do not exist anymore. Comparing the entries on noble houses between the lore books "Cormanthyr - Empire of the Elves" and "Evermeet - Island of Elves" gives a good idea about who did not make it ;)

dort, wo zwischen Grabkreuzen Mohnblumen blühn,
da flüstern die Gräser und wiegen sich leicht
im Wind, der sanft über das Gräberfeld streicht.

Thanks for the replies. I have both books mentioned, as well as "Elves of Evermeet" which I've looked through doing some research.
