Chapter 1

His house was seen as strong among other houses in Teth Azeleth, certainly in
the strongest ten. It had been that way for ages upon ages. House Esszyn
Del'Aztir was not one of war-priests and clergymen. It's full might was reliant
upon a strong army and powerful sorcery. The house preferred to keep to its own,
having few real allies among the other houses. Other noble houses did send ranks
of small elite soldiers to train at House Esszyn Del'Aztir. The house had just
as few enemies as it did allies. Though the soldiers of House Esszyn Del'Aztir
were well known in reputation, the mages of the house were what struck true fear
into the hearts of their few enemies as they rose and quickly fell.

House Esszyn Del'Aztir was not one that sought high standing and complete
domination of the other houses, though it was hypothesized that if they wanted
to rule they could have. Mostly they wished to be left to themselves and their
own discoveries and the other houses were willing to keep this unspoken truce.
It was certainly one of the more wealthy houses, having been paid for ages by
other houses for training as well as their own explorations into other planes
and all over Thera proper. The dark-elves of the house had a strict social
construct of which one was born into their rank and social standing. It was
highly unusual for dark-elves to be given the opportunity to rise above their
station or be taught the greater magics if they were not born into the
opportunity. Should however something befall the elite mages of the house and a
spot was opened that could not immediately be filled by birthright, there were
situations that enabled talented mages of lower standing to rise.
