And same for Danath Trollbane for Anaei))

(( Dalar Dawnweaver is now a forsaken and an enemy of the Alliance, he would be scraped from the registry. Even so, 'notable' ancestors means famous ancestors, men and women who brought glory (or hate) to the house. Arador was the one who founded the house, after he was given the title of Lord after he did his part in restoring the Arathorian kingdom, whilst Dalar did nothing of the sort, he might've been a far cousin who has nothing to do with the other members of the noble house.

Also ancestors are usually dead))

Danath is technically not an ancestor as he is in the same family tier as Saihna being her 2nd cousin. Also he's not dead.

second cousin?

the family tree is understood at last!

Aye, Saihna has a proper one, you should look at it. It's quite good in my opinion. Makes it nice and explanitory and not so hard to believe.

Where is the house of Darkbane? I'd love for Dom, the grumpy, old git that he is, find out that he is actually a noble.
Not that he'd actually do much, just probably complain about the new fangled responsibility, being the eldest(?) member of said family.
(considering that he is now the third brother of Calgar and Albarecius Darkbane, by a completely unexpected coincidence of having randoly picked the same last name as Kainna and Forlant. I love little things like that )

House of the Dawnbringers of Lordaeron

Head of the house: Arathoran Rathar Dawnbringer, The Righteous Flame.

- Notable ancestors: Sir Gorathan Dawnbringer, Ranthar Warfield (Dawnbringer).

-Crest: Crest of Lordaeron in golden colors.

Lands & Estates: The former grand-manor of the Dawnbringer was in Stratholme but due to the scourges invasion the manor lies in ruins. Their father had a manor lying on the foothills just outside Stratholme.
Tyr's Hand was claimed by Arathoran and Eloresh's Crusaders. It was given to serve the Argent Crusade until the Scourge was cleansed from Lordaeron. The House of Dawnbringers own much of the farmlands in centrel Lordaeron also known as the Western Plaguelands. These lands was all given to the Argent Dawn by Arathoran to aid in the battle against the traitor prince and the Scarlet Crusade.

Knights in service: Several organisations serve under the house of Dawnbringers. Most notable of those are: The Regiment of Lordaeron, The Crusaders of Redemption. All with ties to these are serving under the house of Dawnbringers.

Even though he's not technically a family line yet, Merandil being Knighted is presumably the start of a noble line (unless he dies a horrible death, which is of course quite likely).

House Haldén of Redridge

Head: Sir Merandil T. Haldén, Knight of the Realm

Notable Ancestors: Brigadier General Teremil Haldén, First War veteran of the Stormwind Army

Crest: N/A (As of yet)

Relations to other Noble Houses: N/A (As of yet)

Lands: Mansion in the hilly outskirts of Lakeshire, farmland north-west of Lakeshire

Knighted by Highlord Bolvar Fordragon, then-Regent of Stormwind City, Sir Haldén and his adoptive daughter meet only the basest of criteria for a "Noble family", although existing familial ties at time of Knighting also ties Teremil Haldén and Tara Haldén - Merandil's father and sister respectively - into the House.

House Brightsoul (of Stormwind)

- Head of the House: Baron Edward Brightsoul

- Notable ancestor(s): Richard Brightsoul (died shortly after the first war), Edwin Brightsoul (died only a year ago)

- Crest:

- Relations with other noble familes: None

- Lands (if any): Until recently had patches of land in westfall and redridge, they have all been sold by Edward.

- Knights in service: None.

Richard Brightsoul was a rich farmer when he joined the King's army in the first war. Using the brutal tactics of guerrilla warfare, often sacreficing entire units as bait to achieve victory against a much larger force, he claimed a lot of victories and were knighted and given land at the end of the war.
His son, Edwin Brightsoul, began investing his father's money, constantly moving the money to where profits could be made. This earned him the title of Baron in return for Edwin's financial support to the war effort.
Edwin's only son and heir, who send his beloved wife to her death in childbirth, had been absent for many years, the matter covered up through Edwin's ressourceful contacts. Edwin died from illness only a year ago and as it would seem that the widdow of Richard, Elizabeth Brightsoul, were to die as the last member of the family, the lost son returns and inherit everything the family owns after Elizabeth's death only a few weeks later.[/quote]

The House of Dean

- Head of the House: Velspeth Wollerton-Dean

- Notable Ancestor(s): Andreus Dean, Narcissa Dean

-Knights in Service: None - dissolute.



Velspeth Dean, more commonly known as Wollerton, remains the sole remainder of the Dean line. After fleeing Southshore after the death of her parents and the unpopular marriage to an Stormwindian farmer's son, Velspeth relinquished any claim to the Dean House, it's surrounding lands, and shares in local commerce. She took only what she could carry in gold, leaving for Stormwind. Many will have heard of the Dean Household, but will know of it's dissolution. Whilst she remains heir dissolute, she still retains title-ship
