DatesUnless otherwise indicated, all year numbers are

given in the Túzyn Reckoning (tr) or Before Túzyn Reckoning (bt). This system was originally devised by the Mèlderýni astronomer Túzyn during the second century TR, and is now the most widespread dating system across the region. The current date is the 1st of Núzyael tr720.

Pronunciation anD accentsThe acute accent (e.g. á) indicates primary stress on

the syllable. A grave accent (e.g. è) indicates secondary stress.

A circumflex accent (e.g. â) indicates the vowel should be pronounced as if it were followed by an r. This accent may replace the accent indicating primary or secondary stress. If such an accented vowel is explicitly followed by an r, it should be read either as a ‘double r’ and rolled slightly, or indicates a compound word, where the previous ending r has been lost. Sometimes it should be rolled even if there is no following r.

An å sounds like the vowel in the English word law; ø is pronounced like the vowel in the English word boat, but more rounded.

A y, when used as a vowel, sounds like the vowel in the English word beet.

The dh digraph represents the voiced dental fricative edh, the consonant at the beginning of the English word them. The th digraph is the unvoiced dental fricative thorn, and is pronounced as at the start of the English word thin.

Emélrenè Clans 1

Copyright © 2011 Keléstia Productions LtdGreat Clans of Emélrenè 1.02

Great Clans of emélrenè

Emélan nobility are relatively stratified, into ‘high’ noble clans (âkúla), ‘middle’ noble clans (mélkula) and ‘minor’ clans (tékula). The âkula include the royal clan and the eight clans holding duchies and earldoms. The mélkula include all clans holding baronies, while all other land-holding noble clans are tékula.

Âkúla (Great Noble) ClansThe great clans (âkúla) of Emélrenè in tr720 are:• Edhélen, the Royal Clan, also holding the duchy

of Jerinál and the earldom of Edûr• Tarénas, holding the duchy of Cháronès and the

earldom of Úlamà• Thâbel, holding the earldom of Nyan• Keir, holding the earldom of Malád• Tíemel, holding the earldom of Quándas• Quirínas, holding the earldom of Negáros• Panîr, holding the earldom of Módan• Parthánè, holding the earldom of Kíbler• Trahúne, holding the earldom of Émane

Émhlèn-aína-Âr (Sibling Clans)Each of the noble clans of Emélrenè is associated

with one or more ‘sibling’ clans of the free Eméla or Émhlè.

The following are the Émhlèn-aína of the âkula clans of Emélrenè:• Emélyn, Edûras and Edhályn are all aína of

clan Edhélen (the royal clan).• Kýthlir and Állynar are aína of clan Keir (Earls

of Malád).• Quirinállyn are aína of clan Quirínas (Earls of

Negáros).• Parállyn are aína of clan Parthánè (Earls of

Kíbler).• Pallawéllys and Kyllárn are aína of clan Panîr

(Earls of Módan).• Ésallarn and Shennârl are aína of clan Tarénas

(Dukes of Cháronès, Earls of Úlamà).• Hyallým are aína of clan Thâbel (Earls of Nyan).• Taemáryl and Quanádryll are aína of clan

Tiemel (Earls of Quándas).• Tráhllyn are aína of clan Trahúne (Earls of

Émane).

Mélkula (Baronial) ClansThere are twenty-two mélkula clans; that is clans

holding baronies (ésuârd). There are more than twenty-two baronies in Emélrenè, but many are held by the great noble clans.

The most influential of these baronial clans are the Hocht, the barons of Léidras. They are the only baro-nial tenants-in-chief, and sit at the boundary between the âkula and mélkula clans.

The baronial or ‘middle noble’ clans of Emélrenè in tr720 are:• Hocht, holding the baronies of Léidras and Lipyl• Alénoic, holding the barony of Gôrla• Astálith, holding the barony of Quéthren • Beság, holding the barony of Dýron • Celónna, holding the barony of Thâren• Córmyr, holding the barony of Vélis• Dhásis, holding the barony of Jéledh• Dithwáer, holding the barony of Nemóno• Édaetha, holding the barony of Cenóma• Érbin, holding the barony of Bíse• Ethíalith, holding the barony of Hínon• Gármin, holding the barony of Sârna• Hulth, holding the barony of Láthor• Króthes, holding the barony of Chéiro• Lángwyn, holding the barony of Esóde• Máell, holding the barony of Néredè• Myrll, holding the barony of Hímena• Pélsus, holding the barony of Tîronas• Quodh, holding the barony of Ôrjela• Rhýddyn, holding the barony of Helégin• Sútrec, holding the barony of Daímin• Târrwyn, holding the barony of Hémpel• Yóndath, holding the barony of Mágebûr

Each of these clans also has one or more émhlèn-aína clans amongst the Émhlè.

Tékula (Minor Noble) ClansThere are several hundred tékula clans in Emélrenè,

principally holding manorial estates, but also other roles such as that of constable (élgâr) for the greater clans. Clan Váladar are the chancellors of Edûr for the royal clan, and are the most influential of the tékula clans.

Tékula clans can be associated with their own Émhlè sibling clans or with the sibling clans of their lieges.

ISBN 978-0-9866075-2-390000 >

Emélrenè is the oldest feudal realm in Venârivè (Northwestern Lýythia). The kingdom’s noble houses can trace their ancestry back generations, and claim links to the founder of the realm. Each noble clan also has links to the ‘Free Eméla’ or Émhlè, the Eméla who live a semi-nomadic lifestyle in the wildlands of the kingdom and beyond. This publication provides an introduction to these great clans, detailing the fiefs of the kingdom, outlining the tenants-in-chief, and lists all the holdings of the realm. A map of the fiefs of the kingdom is also provided.

This publication is a free supplement to Venârivè: Northwestern Lýythia, available from www.kelestia.com.
