First Lanàdi House of Terrud

115-1 AR. The Fourth Lanàdi Dynasty. House of Anðùs Terrud of Lanas through his great great grandson, Berún Terrud the First of Lanas.

There is little denying the sacrifices made by the patriarchs of this august Dekàli family. Though no member of the family lived to see the creation of the Dekàli Empire, without their contributions, accomplishments, and influences the Empire would never have manifested. For this reason, the House of Terrud is considered the first High House of Dekàlas. Subsequent rulers were given the surname of Terrud in honor of the First King.

Lineage

  1. King Anðùs Terrud the First of Lanas. The First. He was born circa 150 AR. He was crowned by Donēa I, the widow of his predecessor, in 115 AR at Lanas. He married Lady Donēa in 115 AR at Tor Trèmendūm, though she bore him no children. The early history of Anðùs Terrud is an equal mix of history and legend. The oldest accounts of the patriarch describe him as a pirate who commanded a fleet of ships in the South Mar Dekàli. Piracy at the time was so widespread that sea-commerce had come to a near standstill, and the Thundering Isles suffered greatly for it. So it was with some irony that a captain responsible for this crisis would rise to lead, defend, and ultimately sacrifice himself for the people who suffered from his activities. Pirate captains do not usually appear upon the pages of history without some background or reason. The early history of Anðus Terrud however is anyone’s guess. Some have suggested that he was a naval officer or a merchant who turned against the rule of the day for profit. Others have suggested that while he was portrayed as a pirate, he was actually a revolutionary bent upon overturning the House of Garrd. He died in 109 AR while reading the Pact of Lanádrynágdralyð. The Burning Crown passed to his second son…
  2. King Gaðàr Terrud the First of Lanas. The Second. He was born circa 129 AR. He was crowned in 109 AR by the High Shaman of Lanas at Tor Trèmendūm. He never married. He died in 107 AR, consumed by the fires of Abbàran the Burning. The Burning Crown passed to his brother…
  3. King Tāðàn Terrud the First of Lanas. The Third. He was born circa 126 AR. He was crowned in 107 AR by the High Priest of Irāyn at Tor Trèmendūm. He married Lady Meðerae of Ceyeð in 106 AR at Tor Trèmendūm. The reign of King Taðan I is most notable for the War of Brothers, wherein Price Hanðar led an army against the young King in an attempt to reclaim his birthright. The ensuing civil war lasted from 103-88 AR, ending with the execution of Prince Hanðar within the Kyrm Oryrāen. He died in 67 AR. The Burning Crown passed to his son…
  4. King Anðùs Terrud the Second of Lanas. The Fourth. He was born circa 100 AR. He was crowned in 67 AR by the High Priest of Irāyn at Kyrm Oryrāyn, Tor Trèmendūm. He married Lady Amar Nakhêr of Anū Gyð, daughter of Arân I in 81 AR at Kyrm Orypæð, Anū Gyð. King Anðus II is remembered as the Conqueror of Kændal, but in fact the King died years before the Northern Campaign ended. King Anðus II had little stomach for war, and much of the campaign was planned and orchestrated by his wife. When the Burning Crown passed to their eldest son Gaðar II, Northern Campaign operations continued under the leadership of Amar. A rumor of the time was that the King wooed his to-be wife with a bard, hired to compose and sing lengthy serenades to the lovely noble woman. Contemporaries claimed that Amar was very taken with this gesture, so taken in fact that the eldest prince, Gaðar, bore an uncanny resemblance to the bard. He died in 54 AR. The Burning Crown passed to his son…
  5. King Gaðàr Terrud the Second of Lanas. The Fifth. He was born circa 80 AR. He was crowned in 54 AR by the High Priest of Irāyn at Kyrm Oryrāyn, Tor Trèmendūm. He married Lady Berēa Tindàra of Kændal in 63 AR, a failed attempt by both sides to end the Northern Campaign. He died in 38 AR. The Burning Crown passed to his son…
  6. King Berún Terrud the First of Lanas. The Sixth. He was born circa 64 AR. He was crowned in 38 AR by the High Priest of Irāyn at Kyrm Oryrāyn, Tor Trèmendūm. He married many times but had no children (see below). King Berun I is remembered as the Conqueror of Æzàlar. Unlike his grandfather who ruled from the throne of Kryr Trèmendūm, Berun I led his armies into battle across the arid wastes of Northern Tassèrus. Though the King had no official heirs, it is believed that his lineage survived among the conquered peoples of Æzàlar. Prior to his death, King Berun I was due to become the first High King. The Council of Lanàdus had spent years preparing the rites and ceremonies for the transition. Dying during his return from Tassèrus, the new system of succession was put to an early test. The Council of Lanàdus met at Kryr Trèmendūm and selected the first High Crown of the new Empire, to be placed upon the High Throne on the first day of new year. The priests of Irāyn meanwhile, underwent a separate selection process for the next House of the Burning Crown. Berun I died 1 AR. The Burning Crown passed from the Terrud to the Elybeðra family in 1 HK.
