House of Hrethel

Overview
House made up of the descendant of the warrior Hrethel who ruled the island of Nurhst and managed to conquer the northern portion of Tencur and send many of its prestigious houses into hiding following The War of Bloody Blue in 4,676 F.E. They have no Old Lord relations, though at one point they joined the Atrilias and Rhemanis as the most wealthy houses in Lumina.

Dawn of Blood and Chaos
They are disgraced at the start of the first book following The Nurhtish War of 4,954 F.E which splintered the family and diluted the bloodline. The treaty which ended the war dictated that the Hrethel line would be allowed to continue and no more innocents would die so long as Grand Jarl Revel Hrethelson was put to death, his daughters Ilya and Revalia were married off to Rhalasi allies, and his sons Ulred and Jerod were kept in isolation on different islands on Nurhst. It was also dictated that the four children of the Jarl never be allowed to have contact with each other again lest this mercy be revoked.
