Dreamsong Sept

From House of Khilat

The Dreamsong sept is very closely associated with the noble House of Khilat. They are privy to the secrets of the House of Khilat and can freely enter the main estate.

After the Khilats moved their primary estate to the Vale of Evereka, the large estate in the mountains surrounding Evereska reverted to control of the Dreamsongs. The estate is built to blend into the surroundings and magic remains to keep it hidden from non-elves. The surrounding area includes numerous orchards and other forms of agriculture blended into the natural environment. Domesticated animals are also raised, including a heard of moonhorses.

Other estates are held throughout the mountains of Evereska and the Grey Cloaks, as well as strongholds on the merchant paths in various Elven kingdoms. Warehouses are also maintained in various Elven cities as well as certain human cities friendly to elves. Estates and strongholds are often allocated to Dreamsong warrior lords who have earned a reputation.

History

The clan of Dreamsong was founded by the Ranger Lord Dreamsong. After years of military campaigns against humanoid incursions and monsters, he used his wealth to start a merchant business in -13,683 DR.

In -12,868 Tulani Lord Sultaasarn returned to the Prime Material Plane to continue his plans to thwart Fey'ri activities. This time he brings his daughter Ary'a'sum for her first visit. During the visit, she conceives of the idea of fighting the Fey'ri on an ongoing basis using Aasimar progeny. She convinces many of Sultaasarn's high ranking staff of the merits of her idea, and a number of Aasimar are born the following year. Sultaasarn is initially displeased with the actions of his daughter, but takes steps to ensure his Aasimar descendants will increase in power, remain faithful to the cause of good, continue to oppose the Fey'ri, and be served by the lesser Aasimar progeny.

In -12,179, Glaeth Khilat is born to the Silver Wyrm Khilat and Arael Dreamsong. Glaeth becomes the head of the Khilat Sept of Dreamsong, that will eventually rise to power as the ruling family.

Appearance and Traits

Dreamsongs are typically taller than the average Moon Elf, and tend to be stately and graceful. Traits of their Tulani heritage from Ary'a'sum run true in the family. Many have excellent signing voices. They have a strong tendency for blue black hair, though silver hair is also fairly common. Eyes are most often green, but piercing blue eyes are common, and rarer still golden green; all with glittering gold flecks. Skin tones are the usual lightly bronze with twinges of pale blue.

This lesser branch is known for producing skilled rangers, as well as wizards, fighters, priests and an occasional bard. Many also serve as merchants who trade goods between Elven enclaves throughout Faerun. Others are skilled artisans, producing weapons and musical instruments; and occasionally produce simple magical weapons or instruments under contract.

Insignia

The insignia of the sept is a gold star with a half circle of silver stars in an arc above the gold one, on a circular field of dark blue. A translucent image of a silver dragon, like wisps of smoke, typically in a shade of dark blue just a tinge lighter than the background field, floats between the central star and the arch of stars above. When made into jewelry, deep blue sapphire is a favorite stone, and star sapphire often used for the stars.

Colors for the sept are gold, silver and dark blue.
