“TOGETHER WE RISE”
House Thorne is an ancient Kaelar house. Born first on Verra as diplomats and political advisors to dignitaries. House Thorne made their name for being savvy, and quick witted. They are masters of conversation, and find their greatest pull in matters of the court. The peak of their dynasty was on Verra itself, in alleged negotiations between the Aelan and Pyrain. However, after the fall, House Thorne lost a lot of its influence. The once admired, and intimidating noble house found itself regarded as no more than mere-stewards. An insult, and a slight that would not be forgotten.
Luckily, not all was lost. Though the family had lost some of their luster, they had built a web of allies that ensured they kept their station. One such ally, House Kimura, was steadfast in their support. Unlike House Thorne, House Kimura was on the rise, and had built up considerable wealth and a surplus of influence quickly. While their Vaelune ancestry gave House Thorne pause, it was negated by the fact that a union between their families would restore much of what House Thorne had lost, or so they hoped.
But as time passed, and the houses were joined, it was evident that whatever was lost would not be returned on Sanctus. With the death of the family patriarch, and their eldest daughter, their survival was very much uncertain.
Yet with uncertainty there was possibility. In the present, with the divine gates re-opening to Verra, House Thorne and their allies have banded together, unified as one, to settle anew.
