Due to me taking a new job IRL, I will not have the time to dedicate to this guild that it deserves, therefore consider it inactive. My apologies - Kulyeh.
*Player run house*
Qu'ellar Kyn' Karean is a small, minor house in Sshamath whose limited power stems from a few low ranking members in various clergy (excluding that of Lloth) and Arcane Schools. The only influence they really have stems from a single Faern, Drosei Kyn' Karean. He is not high ranking, and his successes have stemmed from more scholarly pursuits than actual arcane mastery. Which effectively limits the power of the house, which is quite okay with his superiors in the university.
However, the rulers of Sshamath look favorably on the house for one reason...it has managed to completely shake of the typical drow ranking system, and indeed, is lead by a man - Drosei Kyn' Karean. But in order to further limit his power, his superiors keep him quite busy with his research, and the day to day affairs of the house are run by his younger brother, Kulyeh Kyn' Karean. In truth, Drosei is kept so busy, that Kulyeh is normally the final word in any decision, and anyone wishing to speak to Drosei can usually only do so through Kulyeh.
So Drosei, secure in his position, because he knows his non-Faern brother has no chance of maintaining control of the House should he wrest it away, mostly ignores house matters. And Kulyeh, being unable to replace Drosei, is kept protected by his elder brother, who uses the limited influence he has to keep him safe, and therefore, maintain his own position.
The one exception to Drosei's apparent apathy, is the recent order for Kulyeh to lead and expedition to the surface, for research purposes. And Kulyeh has begun to recruit for that purpose. Little does anyone know, that Kulyeh may have his own plans...
House Ranking Structure: as stated, the house has done away with the typical system, and rankings are based, for the most part, on merit alone (or the whims of the two Kyn' Karen brothers). As such, priestesses of Lloth will not join, nor would they be accepted for fear of them trying to change things.
The ranks are as follows:
House Patron: Drosei Kyn' Karean (doesn't exist in game, yet) (the House Matron is the mother of Drosei, and has little to know influence in the house, being inept diplomatically and in every other sense of the word)
House Weapon Master: Kulyeh Kyn' Karean
Noble Faern (blood relation to Drosei).
Noble Clerics (blood relation to Drosei), and Noble Faern.
Noble Non-casters (blood relation to Drosei), Non-noble Faern (drow), and Noble Clerics.
Non-noble Clerics (drow)
Noble non-casters (drow)
All other Faern
All other Clerics
All other non-casters
Servants
Slaves
In addition, this house practices adoption of houseless drow, should they prove worthy. While Adoptees are granted the name Kyn' Karean, they rank below all other nobles (born nobility) and might not even be viewed as nobility by other houses, otherwise they fit in wherever there skills would place them. People in the favor of Drosei, and by extension, Kulyeh, can rank anywhere in the system that the ruling brothers wish.
If you wish to join, seek me out in game, recruitment is RP only, unless you wish to create a character with the Kyn' Karean name, in which case, PM me here or whisper me in game.
