The Elder House of Draech: Lords of the March

“The Secret People”

The origins of the House of Draech lie in the tragedy of the downfall of the Aeleredadd, the Wyddic people first to enter the Realm. A few thousand years after escaping the downfall Atál an Teá, their homeland far across the western sea, a timeless Sorrow toppled their great city of Dumnonia in the Realm! Wise ones of the family of Gwybda made a horrible sacrifice to banish this Sorrow but were left with a curse they could not heal.

A new sigil called the people of Gwybda to a healing place. In dreams, a mythical dragon from their ancient homeland lead them out of the ruined Mabon Valley and into a most hidden and magical place in the Realm. Following dreams they found this place in reality and called it the Aergwyll, the dreamland. There the the knowledge of their ancestors was developed into a powerful arcane disciplines guarded by an order of magificars in a university in the Aergwyll. This order was the secretive Gwybdwylli who with a single song brought down the walls of Khad Zhere in the Elder Wars of Empire.

The Wyddic peoples have changed much over the centuries, but many families of Hart say they see an ancient version of themselves in "The Clan of the Hidden Song", a version of themselves before they were changed by the Elder Wars of Empire.

The highest families of Hart have always sent their children to the Aergwyll for good raising.
