Silverbow Sept
The Silverbow sept is a lesser branch that provides servants and martial support for the Khilats. Those who serve as household servants of the Khilat estate are privey to many of the secrets of the house, but they are sworn to secrecy, while other hear rumors but know better than to repeat them outside of the Silverbow sept.
Appearance and Traits
Silverbows are typically taller than the average Moon Elf, and tend to be lean and strong. Traits of their Shiere heritage from Vel'Nikerym run true in the family. They are loyal to a fault and very protective of other elves and family holdings. They raise and ride strong mounts, including a herd of Moon Horses. They have a strong tendency for pale golden hair, though silver hair is also fairly common. Eyes are most often green, but piercing blue eyes are common, with glittering gold flecks. Skin tones are the usual milky white with twinges of pale blue.
The sept is known for producing skilled archers and warriors. They have some priests and wizards, but few of any note are produced. Silverbow bowyers are highly respected and their bows are prized. Occasion skilled artisans can be found producing a variety of quality crafts including weapons, musical instruments and fine goods such as jewelry. Many others manage the various household tasks of the various estates.
The sept also performs some of the less savory tasks for the house of Khilat, including information gathering and spying. Common thievery is not condoned, but occasionally overlooked if it serves the common good of the house.
Insignia
The sept insignia is a silver bow strung with an arrow with a star shaped head having a golden nimbus, all on a field of green.
The colors of the sept are green with gold and silver decoration.
