House of Khilat

The house was founded by Belsilvar Dreamsong, but brought to its height by the Silver Dragon Khilat. Progeny of Khilat and Arael Dreamsong formed the basis of the ascendant branch of Khilat.

The house was elevated to minor nobility when it successfully drew and wielded a Moonblade in -9,000 DR.

The house maintains a number of strongholds scattered throughout the Elven kingdoms, ostensively to support its merchant activities. The primary base of operations started as a major stronghold in the mountains of Evereska, but the Khilat household moved into the Vale of Evereska shortly after the founding of the city in -8,600 DR.

The estate in Evereska is built with white marble. While the Dreamsong and Silverbow septs may enter the house at will, others are only allowed to enter during special occasions by invitation only. The interior is reputed to be spacious, simple and refined.

The Khilat family is known for producing skilled rangers, wizards and clerics. They are very often devoted to various deities; particularly the Seldarine, but occasionally serve other gods. They are known to be shrewd in business, but likewise generous in the support of good causes, shifting funds and resources to support regions and allies in need.

Rangers of the house are known for their fierce prowess and staunch support for the cause of good. They are particularly good tacticians. They are often more adept at magic than one would expect, with skills in divine, arcane or sometimes both sources of magic. Many join knight and religious orders.

Wizards of the house excel in learning magic, often following unusual paths of study. Quite a few are able to master High Magic. Some are thought to draw upon other obscure sources of magic.

Priests of the house are particularly devout. The Seldarine are held in high esteem, but priests are known to follow non-Seldarine gods with just as much devotion.

It is also common that members follow paths combining the role of warrior, wizard and/or priest. With the exception of the occasional bard or minstrel, the path of the rogue is never followed alone, but in combination with some more honorable role that furthers Elven interests. Common thievery is not condoned by house leaders, and members of the Khilat house caught in such activities are often never seen again; presumably exiled or worse.

Septs

The minor houses of Dreamsong and Silverbow remain closely allied as septs of House Khilat. All children are evaluated by senior members of House Khilat, who secretly determine if sufficient dragon heritage has been passed down. Though this is rare among the sept lines, an occasional child is declared a member of the Khilat line, and conversely, some children of the Khilat household are rejected and declared members of their closest related sept.

Sept Dreamsong

The Dreamsong sept is .

This lesser house is known for producing skilled rangers, as well as wizards, fighters and an occasional bard. Many also serve as merchants who trade goods between Elven enclaves throughout Faerun.

Sept Silverbow

The Silverbow sept is the least of the branches, and provides servants and martial support for the Khilats.
