Altenahr Family

The History of Altenahr

There are two branches to this family. Both originated on the continent of Dwilight. The first branch was named "Altenhar" and originated in the region of Bohai in the Realm of Morek. They later travelled to the stronghold of Valkyrja where they founded a Morek Colony, and then emigrated to Caerwyn, where they served long, but later that branch of the family died out.

Then a second branch of the family named "Altenahr" arose in Elets region in the Realm of Caerwyn. From there they spread to Archachon in the Far East and to Madina in Dwilight.

The Altenahr family name is a byword for Service and Honour.

Their family motto is "Your Honour is your Life, Let none dispute it!"

Their family crest is a Black Stooping Hawk on a White Field.
