Lewinn Family
Contents
Early History
The House of Lewinn was founded as the result of a schism between two merchant brothers hailing from the city Giblot, located within the Colonies. Burlebin and Cors Lewis-Forgrinn each held equal share of a successful, although politically negligible, trading house. The family's generational efforts resulted in Lewis-Forgrinn Importers as the primary purveyor for the majority of silk and ivory for noble consumption in the continent's cities and hamlets.
Founding
Cors Lewis-Forgrinn separated himself and his family from the greater Lewis-Forgrinn estate after a series of increasingly contentious disagreements between he and his brother, Burlebin Lewis-Forgrinn. Deciding that only a complete separation would be sufficient to assuage his damaged honor, Cors changed his name to Lewinn, a portmanteau of Lewis and Forgrinn.
In the year 5 of the Dwilight Calendar, Cors moved his family to their current home, seeking a new start in D'Hara. The excesses of the Colonies republics convinced Cors that a monarchical country would be better suited as the cradle of a new merchant house. D'Hara, with its intriguing culture and superior trade routes was the nature choice. The House of Lewinn had found its new home.
Present Day
The House of Lewinn remains headquartered out of Port Nebel in D'Hara. After the financially disastrous transition to Dwilight, the family's fortunes remain in flux. The acceptance of the Lewinn family into D'Haran noble society has buoyed the spirits and finances of the clan, although competition and lack of contacts in the commercial world continues to hamper the House's growth. The inability of Milors and his wife, Mirabeth, to have numerous children also puts the longevity of the Lewinn name in jeopardy.

Bors Lewinn
The second son of Cors Lewinn né Lewis-Forgrinn, Bors is the younger brother of Milors and a knight serving in the Oritolon military. His return to the Colonies was controversial, as his father swore that the name Lewinn had forsworn that continent forever. Although Milors is unwilling to separate Bors from the family name, casual references to him among family and servants are few and generally refer to him as "the oath breaker."
