==History==

House Dulance traces the foundings of their House to Arthor the Father. Escaping the war-torn Acea after Vorkun's bloodbrother Ostro the Wild ravaged down the wide plains. Arthor rallied the pastorial people of the foothills and grasslands south of the Xarthan Highlands and around the rivers Lor, Syr, and Yan rivers. He flew the banner of the phoenix representing the rebirth of his people from the ashes of war. Arthor started his beginnings at the headwaters of the River Lor and eventually gathered a following. By the time he reached Cairhalais he had 100,000 followers in tow. These followers styled themselves the sheep of Arthor, and Arthor thought himself a shepherd.

When they arrived in Cairhalais Arthor had to sell four of his daughters to various merchants and lords to be able to afford the provisions to head west to Adorna. This became knownn as Arthor's Grief. Arthor was able to attract another twenty thousand "sheep" to follow him across the sea. Along with ten Cairhalic blacksmiths trained in the art of forgin iron that was becoming increasingly popular.

The massive fleet that Arthor commanded was a mix of many different cultures that had many customs and spoke different languages, but all believed in Arthor's leadership. They landed upon the Greenstones and easily overwhelmed the small population of peaceful fishermen. They renamed the isles the Lorstones, and the isles were given to the soon to be known House Alanous.

Arthor's fleet landed at present day Anthyra near to a holy site for the Greenmen. The Greenmen were not a martial people, who believed more in sorcery and wills of spirits than actualy warfare. Arthor cowed these people with little resistance, and Arthor even married a local chieftain's daughter (after his own wife died on the voyage). His new wife, Persef, helped to bind the opposing people together.

Arthor started building Anthyra in '''215 AV. '''He named the city An'Thyra, which meant city of Thyra in his language. An homage to his eldest daughter. Three towers were also built in the city signifying his other daughters: Cantera, Gia, and Patrilla. Arthor died in '''256 AV. '''Leaving the leadership to his eldest son Marcyll who adopted the surname Dulance (a shortened version of duhalance, the brave father). He takes the helm of his divided people and moved deeper into the land of the Greenmen. He even looked north across the infamous Bay of Serpents towards the land known as the Greyreach.
