Sylric Bloodline
|
The Sylric Bloodline is a bloodline of the Snow Elves, sworn to the Princedom of Fenn.
History
The Sylric name has been around for centuries. The founder, Thandir Sylric I, was one of the original Snow Elves, having followed the Tundraks to Lomal and his Word Alter. This made him one of the first Snow Elves. However, due to the scattering of the Snow Elves, most of the history from then to the Realm of Anthos was lost and has never been recovered.
Prelude
The Sylrics found themselves to be weak and unskillful at first due to the drastic changes their bodies underwent. Thus, the head of the family at the time, Althidon Sylric, sought out hard labor for their family namesake. They would be the ones to become the backbone of the Princedom with many members taking on as many trades as mining & smithing, lumbering & carpentry, fishing & farming, and much more. Working became their blood and so outsiders to this family would be hard-spent finding a better man or woman in Tahu'lareh at doing the sorts of labor they perform.
Anthos en Anthera
Thandir II lead the Sylrics’ into Athera, where they once again backed the Tundrak Bloodline. During their time in Athera, the Sylrics did the work of thousands of men with only 300 strong among them, their hammers and chisels ringing loud throughout the hallowed tundra’s of Hesin’fin. As all races left Athera, Thandir was still the head of the Sylric namesake and followed the Tundraks to their new home, Tar’sil, on The Isles of Vailor. Whilst living in Vailor, Thandir II found love and marriage. He had two sons and two daughters, a rarity among the Snow Elves. His firstborn Ailduin was named his heir, followed by a daughter named Arthion, a second son named Selgauth, and the youngest daughter named Velatha.
Athera en Vailor
When the Iron Uzg attacked The Princedom on Vailor, the Sylrics lost more than ¾ of its people during the defense of the outer city of Tar’sil. All those who survived fled from the Princedom, with Thandir II and Ailduin, his son and heir, remaining, having felt obligated to stay and carry out their steadfast heritage of supporting the Snow Elves in their entirety.
Vailor en Axios
As Vailor came to an end, Thandir II passed away on the journey to The Isles of Axios where Ailduin was left to shoulder the Sylric household, his siblings all abandoning him and the rest of their Snow Elven kin…
Ailduin was the patriarch of the house Sil'siima from then on. He has reclaimed their position as the strongest Snow Elves and had been the hardest worker as well. By doing so, he brought a new age for his family, with even his siblings having begun to return to the Princedom, finally proud to bear the name of a Sylric.
Axios en Atlas
After many decades leading them through the hardships of Axios, Sil’maln Ailduin would lead his family to the continent of Atlas to forward their survival; though much of the history has been lost to time and war...
Atlas en Arcas
Ailduin would lead his family to Arcas after the Vaeyl destroyed Atlas; passing away on the 7th of The Deep Cold, 1716, after an act of heroism to save Crown Prince Aelthos Tundrak during a mining excursion to collect precious metals for the Princedom. His son Thandir III would return to Fenn shortly after to pay his respects and accustom himself to his family while a new Patriarch lead them. Airebys Sylric, nephew to Celaena and Ailduin Sylric, would take up the position to carry on Ailduin’s legacy for their family.
Griffin en Bear
The Griffin which had represented the Sylrics under the leadership of Ailduin and his ideals and his loyalty to the Tundraks for so many years had become a tired creature. With Ailduin and the Tundrak he so loved having passed on, the Griffin would be laid to rest along with its masters. Marking the end of an era for the symbol, Aelthir Tundrak III and the death of Ailduin would be held in the hearts of many a Man and Mali’. Thus, the bloodline would try to seek a new identity, to redefine itself—as their progressive nature would stand for nothing less. Airebys Sylric, who represents the Bear, would bring his own new ideals and reforms to the family.
In the years leading to 1733, the Sylrics under the leadership of Airebys and Somhairle Sylric have begun to find a greater presence in the realm of merchantry; selling the precious gems they gather beneath Tahu'lareh and hand-forged metalworks to customers within and beyond their snowy home.
