Descended from Sir Edgarl Haerthorne and Lady Cioarnodal Veanne, there are two significant branches of the family line, namely those descended from both Rickhart and Melisande, brother and sister, and those born from Gaerrant and his wife Gwydda. The latter have the strongest hold onto the family estates due to the legitamacy of their children and acts of adultery committed by the others. With the death of Gaerrant however, Aerywyn ascended to patriarchy of the House and has made efforts to mend the wounds caused by Gaerrant and his father. | Descended from Sir Edgarl Haerthorne and Lady Cioarnodal Veanne, there are two significant branches of the family line, namely those descended from both Rickhart and Melisande, brother and sister, and those born from Gaerrant and his wife Gwydda.

The Line
The ancestral home of the Haerthorne family rests within the the city of Remton and the capital of Arcaea, lying on the banks of the Raen Duin. For generations they were impoverished and often childless, leaving only a small trace of the family left to endure their legacy.
Descended from Sir Edgarl Haerthorne and Lady Cioarnodal Veanne, there are two significant branches of the family line, namely those descended from both Rickhart and Melisande, brother and sister, and those born from Gaerrant and his wife Gwydda. The latter have the strongest hold onto the family estates due to the legitamacy of their children and acts of adultery committed by the others. With the death of Gaerrant however, Aerywyn ascended to patriarchy of the House and has made efforts to mend the wounds caused by Gaerrant and his father.

Myths and Stories
Herein are kept the stories of the family which relate directly to aspects of their ancestry, their myths or the monuments they have left behind.
Aerywyn's Child
Caim Haerthorne
Originally believed by one of the many bastard sons of Gaerrant, Caim's true lineage was disclosed to him by his grandmother Gwydda following Aerywyn's death. A tall and handsome man with long golden hair and striking blue eyes, the boy who was originally called Willam is very much like his estranged father, yet he lacks some of his eccentricity and the bloodlust evident in later years.
Gaerrant's Children
Aerywyn Haerthorne
The eldest son of the now deceased Gaerrant, Aerywyn has now assumed the mantle of the family Patriarch. Not only blessed with talent and experience much beyond his nears, he is gifted with some of the finest looks of the family. His sister Aeriel often pokes fun at him for it. After being knighted at the age of 17, he drew his sword to fight for his homeland of Arcaea, and since then he has served her faithfully and unswayingly, achieving the rank of Imperial Chancellor and then Lord Protector in the war against Ethiala, Greater Aenilia, Sartania and Cathay.
He died fighting a duel against Sir Deathwyrm Tomarsen in Topenah.
Aeriel Haerthorne
The youngest sister, if Aerywyn is the heart then she is the soul. Though still a girl she has suprisingly proven herself in battle time and time again, yet her character does not reflect that. For the measure of Haerthorne passion in her she is rather quiet by the familial standards, and not so melancholic.
Tirilyn Haerthorne
Aerywyn's twin and older brother, Tirilyn was a giant bear of a man who fought in Eston against the soldiers of Falasan before making the journey home to help defend Arcaea against her enemies. He was very close to both Aeriel and Aerywyn and his death caused some trauma to be left behind in the family.
He died upon the walls of Nocaneb, holding back the waves of Sartanian warriors storming the fortress.
Harryn's Children
Rickhart Haerthorne
Melisande's Child
Celyn Haerthorne
The only child of Melisande Haerthorne and cousin to Aerywyn and Aeriel, Celyn fled the family home in Arcaea during the Great Northern War against his homeland with his mother. He has travelled across four different continents and seen war in many different lands, having been in Minas Ithil, Falasan, the Sultanate of Asena, Pian en Luries and Shadovar. Proficient with a long sword and with an intellect hardened by experience he has served as a close companion to the Queen of D'Hara, Lady Katayanna Ogren after finally settling down to a single place. An explorer of the far western reaches of Dwilight, there are few who know those dangerous forests and mountains as well as he does.
After a very long time aiding his Queen in exile, he has since left the continent after the Raivan Empire fell into ruin and gone to serve the Dominion of Alluran as Marshal of the Bureaucratic forces. Age and experience has made him a bit gruff, even if he still looks young and handsome.
