Isthanada

The Isthanada are a large and venerable House that has been among the nobility of the Ethuveraz from before the time of Edrevenivar the Conqueror.

Known for being the epitome of culture, with members of the house being noted in the Universities, the Great Opera House of Zhaö, and the Prelates, the Isthanada's influence can be felt throughout the Ethuveraz, and beyond, especially when one considers their trading relationship with Pencharneise spice merchants.

The Isthanada have been unswervingly loyal to the crown for generations, sometimes even to their detriment. Most attribute this to their heavy intermarriage with the Imperial Family, during the reigns of Edretanthiar III and Edrehasivar VI, some 700 and 500 years ago, respectively. They are often viewed as a good marriage match, mostly due to their expansive lands in Thu-Istandaär, and their noted fertility, with most branches of the family having three to five sons, and innumerable daughters.
