Lyorn
From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire
- This page is about the House of the Lyorn. For the animal, see Lyorn (animal). The book Lyorn has not yet been published.
The House of the Lyorn is best known for its scholars and record keeping. Unlike the Athyra, they are generally concerned with knowledge more for its own worth than as a means to power and so will gladly study topics other than magic. Lyorn are also well known for their knowledge of tradition and etiquette; they are frequently consulted on such situations as domestic disputes, questions of heraldry, etiquette, honorable conduct and other similar topics.
Lyorn warriors are very controlled and skilled, compared to the Dragon or Dzur, and are the only House that still uses the title Knight for all of its landless nobility.
The Lyorn are known for their extreme sense of honor, and tradition.
Membership is strictly hereditary—it is impossible to join the house of Lyorn (see Joining Houses). If you are not born a Lyorn, then you will never be one.
