Lenedius Natharis, an old veteran of the early stages of the War of the Sorcerer-King, was famous for his loyalty and dedication to the Damerian cause. Count of Tirufeld, he saw his three children die during the war: the first scouting their home of Tirufeld during the Liberation of the Eastern Dameshead, the second in the Battle of Morban Flats and the third at the Storming of Vertesk. He retired after the death of his last son, resigned to see the end of his house.
House Natharis[]
A minor house of the Damerian Heartlands, it rose during King Canrec of Dameria’s fortification of the Middle Luna River. With the castle serving as the key to the line of defense of the Upper Luna, Canrec chose one of his household knights, Ausvarius, as Count of Tirufeld and founder of what would later be known as the house of Tirvoris.
Despite holding an advantageous position amongst their fellow counts, the Natharis didn’t have much time to consolidate as the War of the Sorcerer-King struck during the rule of Lenedius, Ausvarius’ great grandson.
Sons of Lenedius[]
Count Lenedius had 3 sons with his wife, lady Emmelinda:
- Lorran Natharis (980-1004): Brave and too reckless for his own good, Lorran was amongst the first to land during the Liberation of the Eastern Dameshead. It was during a scouting mission with his wing of cavalry that he stepped too far in an attempt to visit his home, dying in a skirmish with Castanorian cavalry.
- Geraint Natharis (983-1014): Second in command to his brother, he took Lorran's death to the heart, taking pleasure on hunting the Castanorian forces out of Dameria and into Wexonard lands, reconquering Tirufeld in the year 1006. A known knight in the Damerian forces, Geraint died at the Battle of Morban Flats.
- Emmeran Natharis (989-1014): The youngest of the Tirvoris brothers, he grew in Damenath at the court of Auci Dameris and took command of his own dromon in the Damerian navy once he was old enough. Victorious at the Battle of the Damesteeth, Emmeran died during the Storming of Vertesk, killed by a stray arrow to his left eye.
Upon Lenedius' death and as the last of his house, the County of Tirufeld reverted to King Marion I Silmuna.
