Brief House Bio:
A small but well respected noble family of the Elrendar'Nel region -now known as the Ghostlands or the Blackened Woods- the Andiliens were and are known for their stoic demeanor, traditional views and their affinity with nature and its creatures. Though less prosperous than most of their noble neighbors, the Andiliens were influential due to their martial prowess. The family’s decisive action during the Troll Wars awarded the bloodline a Lordship, along with everything the title included.

For centuries, House Andilien shared interests with the House Rellen'thas, a land-deal cementing their professional relationship. But, it was in recent decades that Andilien and Rellen’thas cemented their partnership by marriage, when Lord Cian Rellen'thas married his only daughter, Lilith, off to Aigin Andilien the youngest son of Lord Tholios Andilien.

During Arthas' invasion of Quel'Thalas, the Andiliens took great casualties and were almost spent protecting the southern lands of Elrendar'Nel. Today, House Andilien remains a fixture of House Rellen‘thas‘ alliance, and supports their cousin-house in most ventures. Fraught with deaths and questions of succession, House Andilien is now led by Lady Regent Agho’Linn Andilien, widow of the former lord, Theradiel, who carries the deceased Lord’s child.

With a Nerel’thos-bred Matriarch at the helm, House Andilien looks towards the future with a hope that their traditional ways and views will be kept in the changing world around them.

The birth of Andilien's Heir, Therial Leiafior -a girl, has done nothing to ease the Andilien line's frets and worries.
