House Lethold

History:
A typically royal house with little conflict in their line of rule. Their tactic to maintain the dynasty has always been to breed a lot of Letholds, so while rebellions have happened, and been successful many times in the history of The Illidal, it has always been led by one Lethold against another Lethold. They are known as a promiscuous and decadent house, and generally impress the people with banquets and festivals and gladiator shows. The city is seen as a constant party, and the partying is encouraged by the ruling houses, just not if it scuffs up the royal district. They are fabulously wealthy, and perhaps 2nd in overall wealth to the Tyristans, if not behind the Emperor as well, when he was alive. They have generally been apolitical in a sense, preferring to be populist leaders and tolerant of many trades and faiths, even treating orcish slaves well, as prized soldiers. Not known for their devotion to any ideal or god, they are classic powermongers but don't have much of an agenda beyond maintaining their nearly endless wealth.

The Letholds recently proved themselves "kingly and heroic" in the Agican War, where their armies, accustomed to the desert environments where the Agican rebels were holed up, were the most vicious.
