Revision as of 01:49, 8 February 2016

The Aradrym sept is a minor branch of Dreamsong loyal to the noble House of Khilat. The Aradrym clan associated with Dreamsong when it first became a powerful merchant house, before the drawing of the Moonblade that established the House of Khilat among the Noble Elven families.

Aradrym accepted two families of the House of Vyshaan into their house, at the request of Khilat and the Dreamsong Patriarch. The Vyshaan families were fleeing the reputation of their evil house, and were granted asylum and sequestered for a full generation. The Vyshaan families were very grateful and adopted the name of Aradrym, intermarried and full integrated into the sept. The original Vyshaan member were bound to certain Bralani Eladrin of good character, and as a result Aradrym members have been known to be able to access the powers of Vyshaan magic artifacts, which has proven both dangerous and of benefit in battling the ancient evil.

The Aradrym's primary estate is in the Grey Cloaks.

Appearance and Traits

Aradrym are Moon and Gold elves, with typical features of each. Moon elves outnumber the Gold elves by 3 to 1, but many families are mixed.

Many of the Gold Elven members also serve as merchants who trade goods between Elven enclaves throughout Faerun. Others are skilled artisans, producing art and magic weapons and armor.

Insignia

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.
