Tandaros Family

House Tandaros is a minor noble family recently elevated in the Tomb Islands of today's D'Hara. The ancestral family hearth is located in Port Raviel. The Tandaros claim ancestry back to ancient Dwilight island tribes. Before elevation, they served as clerks, small-time merchants, soothsayers - a variety of professions that served their realms faithfully and, over time, gradually built the family's prestige on the islands.

There was a great family crisis surrounding the circumstances of Maya Tandaros' marriage to a local notable in Port Raviel. The whole affair is a taboo topic in House Tandaros. The great disagreement caused Maya to board a midnight ship to the Far East, only leaving a note for her dear uncle Omar. After Maya's flight, Rashid blamed Omar and promptly disowned his brother, denying him the graces of the Tandaros name and leaving him as a mere commoner.

Rashid Tandaros was the great mastermind of the Tandaros ascension. He died of complications from old age a mere month before his first son, Ismail, became the first Tandaros to achieve noble status and receive a Knighthood. After Maya's arrival in the Far East, she was granted a fiefdom in Kindara in a quiet coastal corner of countryside.
