House of Loenthra
| |||||||||||||
The House of Loenthra is one of the seven original elven noble houses, founded by Callisto Loenthra in the 1440th year of the Elven Calendar (about 53,300 years before present day). Their seat of power is the City-State of Ta'Loenthra in eastern Elanith. The crest of the House of Loenthra is a silver harp on a field of amethyst, the royal jewel is a purple amethyst, and their heraldic statement is "The singers of the melody to which all things are harmony."
Culture
Callisto Loenthra's house is one of craftsman, artists, poets and bards. Ta'Loenthra is generally acknowledged as the center of elven culture, especially by the Loenthra. Though some do leave the elven lands to ply their trades as merchants or wandering bards, most Loenthra consider the lesser races too barbaric for their company. An old Loenthra saying describes performing to an unappreciative audience as "casting pearls before Dwarves."

Queen Cadhla is the current ruler of House Loenthra.
Loenthrans, who more than likely are nothing but friendly on distant lands, appreciate and respect one another to the fullest. This may have to do with the saying, "No one can truly appreciate the beauty of a Loenthran save by another Loenthran." How sure I am of that, I could not be, but I was struck with awe by the exquisiteness of the land and the muses that cradled this nation.
The beauty of the Ta'Loenthra is like a storybook country. The lush green grasses are dotted with vineyards and orchards that would be brightly colored in the springs, marble lined streets and broad ivory lampposts lined the pristine streets and the buildings themselves are each works of art. The people I found to be less enchanting but never the less hospitable by any means, I am sure this has to do with the large trade industry that bustles about in the city.
Every night in Ta'Loenthra there was some new event to be catered to whether it is a ball, art show, performance or pageantry in the streets. Seldom did I drift off to sleep without the distant lull of a bard strumming a love-lorn ballad.
The current head of the house is Queen Cadhla Loenthra. Cadhla's daughter, Princess Elsevel, wed the then-Prince Eamon Ardenai just a few years before Eamon ascended as king.
