House Talanor
House Talanor, the newest house in Eldoria, and one of the rare ones led by a woman, came into being as a result of the defection of House Morgrave to the rebel faction. After the night of falling stars, Queen Evelyne and House Duskbane blamed Morgrave for failing to warn them against the attack. When Morgrave defected, Thylaren Balcom abandoned his family and performing troupe, following his liege lord and joining the forces of the rebellion. His wife Aradia Talanor, a feline wildfolk performer, refused to leave the capitol or the service of King Alden Varethian, out of loyalty to Queen Lysara, for whom she performed as a child, and whose kindness she never forgot. Privately, she distrusted Queen Evelyne and considered it her duty to the crown to watch.
Aradia took over leadership of the troupe, polishing their skills in both entertainment and espionage. She pledged to King Alden, providing intelligence and passing information to the crown until the end of the war. As a reward, the king established House Talanor, and bestowed upon the house control of the theatre district of Aurendell. Aradia hired and trained more people, updating the largest of the venues with an underground warren of rooms and passages, providing both housing and unobserved access to all parts of the district. Her small troupe swiftly grew and became known as talented entertainers, and, for the right people or price, acquirers of secrets.

Darian Kinmon
Darian Kimmon is Aradia's right hand. While she is the face and brains of the operation, Darian runs the day-to-day operations. He is devoted to Aradia and her daughters, and will protect them with his life. During the attack in Crimson Square, he saw Elowel in the path of runaway shop wagon. He managed to save her, but lost the use of his left arm. Although unable to continue performing, Darian stayed, and became invaluable to Aradia.
