Feldane

House Feldane, Great House of Amber

Let Others Rest

The Basics

Colors: Crimson and Grey

Coat of Arms: A grey fleur de lis on a crimson field; three coins in the upper right quadrant are an honor granted by the Crown in recognition of Feldane's long service, providing more exchequers to Amber than any other House.

Style: Duellists and lawyers

Tone: The banking house, the house of rules lawyers, the city sophisticate bureaucrats. Feldane has had more Exchequers in its history than any other House (and in fact has three coins in its coat of arms as a specific honor from the crown, to reflect that).

Gift: Necromancy

Motto: Let Others Rest

Revenue: Feldane are the slumlords of Amber: they own significant property in Amber City itself, act as landlords to much of the city, and trade primarily in spices and exotics. As an extension, they often end up effectively acting as financial backers to other businesses.

Reputation

The Feldanes are traders, first and foremost, so much so as to be a little crass in comparison to the other noble houses. They seem to enjoy that reputation, as it gives grounds for duels, which they seem to relish, and which are often more deadly than they should be - the Feldane definition of "first blood" is often a single killing stroke.

Feldane is also reknown for her gardens, which showcase flora from many different shadows.

It is whispered, by those who know, that Feldane also traffic with the dead, but for all that, their name is one spoken of with dread by any necromancer foolish enough to find his way to Amber.

History

Magic
