House of Hiljorn

The House of Hiljorn was one of the most ancient human households dating back at least 4800 BHE. Originally warriors, the Hiljorn household were one of the few to have made notable contribution that affected the fate of Thalmir. Throughout the years, the House of Hiljorn, served the House of Eranor, eventually becoming the cadet branch for the House of Eranor.

To date, the last known remenants of the House of Hiljorn rule the Drakken Kingdom, keeping together the old lands of the empire awaiting for the coming child of Eranor. As time passed, the ruling family split their duties with the Royal Hiljorn line becoming the new House of Drakke under King Drak.

The Birth of a New House
The first of the Hiljorn family were originally the descendants of a disinherited son of another minor noble house from the Old Continent. After the flight to the new world, the Hiljorn ancestor, assisted in keeping small bands of humans together being one of the few to settle and remain on the Western Thalmir Islands while others continued on eastward towards the mainland.

On the islands, they were studious scholars and researchers, helping the local government to bring about prosperity. The house though was not firmly established until years later during the First War in 4750 BHE.

Part way into the first war, various detachments of troops were sent to the northern borders of the human territories in the mainland. At the same time, inhabitant of the Western Thalmir Islands came to help assist those living on the mainland. Among them was the core family of the House of Hiljorn. With their new founded wealth and influence, the House of Hiljorn set off towards the north setting along the Kiarra River. There, they set up an outpost and and guarded the northern borders of the human settlements. As time passed, the human settlements along the mainland and the islands united for form the Kingdom of Eranor.

The House of Hiljorn were considered to be the pinoneers in knowledge and along the frontier. They put the task upon themselves to establish order to the lands. Their dedication to their cause brought forth much respect from many families especially the House of Eranor.

Northern Lands
Much of the Northern Lands of Eranor is under the control of the Duchy of Hiljorn or influenced by the family. Even after the fall of the Eranor Empire, the area was still held by the cadet branch of the House of Drakke.

Aftermath
The House of Drakke is considered to be the only actual standing House that remains of the House of Hiljorn. It is also the last remaing indirect line to the House of Eranor. However, when the new Drakken Kingdom was reestablished after the 2nd Drakken War, the House of Drakke did find a surviving member of the House of Hiljorn, reinstating the House and the lands they own.
