The Iltaran family hails from Bruck in the East Continent. Long simply one of many lesser noble families, the Iltarans have nonetheless given loyal service to the Counts of Bruck for many generations. Perhaps owing to the turmoil of the region in recent years, with control of Dulbin passing from Oligarch to Perdan to Westmoor, several of the younger scions of the family have left the home estate to serve various causes. The Iltarans have a longstanding connection with the Tanos Family of Poiters. At present, Valdus Iltaran is the Head of the Family.

Maedros Iltaran

The eldest son of Valdus Iltaran, Maedros is the elder brother of Askarn and Faed Iltaran. Conservative and deeply stubborn, he entered the service of Duchess Evangeline Uceek as a Knight at age seventeen. Since then he has served in the Westmoore Tactical Force commanding the Iltaran Guard, a company of heavy infantry. After some initial skirmishs with the Monsters and Undead that occasionally trouble Westmoore Maedros marched with his army against the Elves of Sirion, attempting to storm the fortifications in Caqueta. Alongside soldiers from Fontan, Perdan and Asena he fought in the epic but disasterous Battle of Sermbar, suffering a light wound. Repeated heavy fighting led to the Iltaran Guard becoming a tough, veteran unit, while Maedros himself acquired considerable skill with the blade and as a commander.

During the retreat from an invasion of Sirion, Maedros joined a Fontanese assault on Trinbar. Elven reinforcements arrived just before the Westmoor-Fontan army. In the ensuring battle the allied force was bloodily repulsed and Maedros was captured. While he languished in the dungeons of Sirion, the survivors of the Iltaran Guard were hunted down. Upon his release, Maedros raised a new company, dubbing the comparitively green troops the II Iltaran Guard.

Savra Iltaran

Son of Halden Iltaran, Savra was born only a few months after his cousin Maedros and the pair had a simmering rivalry through their childhood. Seeing little chance for advancement in Westmoor Savra instead travelled to the continent of Dwilight, where civilization was only slowly establishing itself. Arriving in the realm of Madina, Savra swore allegiance to Count Laithe and became a Knight of Paisland.

Askarn Iltaran

Middle son of Valdus Iltaran
