House Floshin

Over the centuries, Elorfindar has had four wives and scores of lovers (most of them human, a few half-elven, and a handful of moon elven, though none from among his household; he considers such behavior unseemly and an inevitable cause of discord), although never while married. His first wife and “one true love” Shalamrae, a gold elf wizardress, remained within him in his self-imposed exile, but died tragically in a lighting storm in the Year of the Mesmer Pool (1186 DR).

Elorfindar has since taken three human wives from the Waterdhavian nobility of Waterdeep and had several more children, but they have all died as well. His human wives included: Moaril Lanngolyn (married 1206 DR, died in 1236 DR; blown apart in a magical explosion involving an enchanted Lanngolyn family heirloom necklace; no children); Khryskrarra Manthar (married 1242 DR, died 1277 DR; died giving birth to her fourth child, a stillborn girl; three children); and Tannatha Raventree (married 1296 DR, died 1329 DR, vaporized in a magical duel between two feuding human adventurer-mages who just happened to encounter each other and do battle in her garden; one wizard was also blasted to nothingness, and the other teleported away; two children).

Floshin / Shalamrae Lineage

Elorfindar and Shalamrae Floshin had four gold elf children over six centuries, all of whom are believed to still survive (although Filvendor’s current status is cloaked in magic): Darfin “Longwalker” Floshin, Elorshin “Highthought” Floshin, Shalendra “Dare-all” Floshin, and Filvendor “Lightfoot” Floshin,

Darfin has never married nor had children.

Elorshin has never married, but he has had many human and half-elf lovers. He is unaware of any children.

Shalendra married a gold elf named Maeriloumel Torandrar and had one son (see Floshin / Torandrar lineage below).

Filvendor has married twice and had two known sons (only one through marriage): Kelson “Darktreader” Floshin and Filarion “Filvendorson” Floshin.

Floshin / Manthar Lineage

Elorfindar Floshin and Khryskrarra Manthar had three half-gold elf children who survived childbirth, but this family branch is now believed to be extinct:

Rilkra Floshin (1244 DR - 1279 DR)

female, adventuress, had her mother’s ankle-length, flowing black hair, took as partners three females in succession (each was killed while adventuring); died childless, devoured by monsters whilst adventuring;

Orandel “the Bard of Daggerford” Floshin (1248 DR - 1299 DR)

a handsome, wenching musician of impish humor, great good looks, and questionable morals; castrated and slain by an outraged husband who promptly fled the area, never to be seen again. Orandel had no children, though not for lack of trying.

Alsandra Floshin (1250 DR - 1314 DR)

devoured by wolves during a fierce winter blizzard. a plain, smart cabinet-maker and carver, who married locally and happily thrice, outliving two of her husbands, but had no children (she was probably barren). Her husbands were all human: Andrar Tarthilt (honest, kindly carpenter; married Alsandra in 1287 DR, died 1289 DR when a wagon of lamp oil overturned atop him and caught fire); Boruldyn Rathgeld (a darkly handsome textiles trader and shopkeeper; married Alsandra 1299 DR and died in 1304 DR, lost at sea when the merchant caravel “Dar’s Fortune” foundered in a storm); Maskarl Deldreir (witty but rather ugly alchemist; maker and seller of ointments, physics, and perfumes; married Alsandra in 1306 DR, left the Daggerford area for Amn after her death, and died in Athkatla of a fever in 1328 DR).

Floshin / Raventree Lineage

Elorfindar Floshin and Tannatha Raventree had two half-gold elf children, but this family branch may be extinct:

Darnath “Florraven” Floshin (1297 DR - 1347 DR)

male, a dashing, energetic trader in Amn, who died of a fever after having been weakened by three poisonings arranged by different rival traders. Darnath was a fierce competitor who made many foes and lived hard; he may well have unknown and unacknowledged descendants in cities up and down the Sword Coast. He married a wealthy young widow of Athkatla, Tanthla Lorridar, in 1341 DR; she died of a fever in 1355 DR. They had one daughter, Asmrarra, born in 1342 DR, who was headstrong and had a wild temper, used Lorridar as her surname, fought fiercely with her mother and everyone else, and departed for “the Sea of Fallen Stars and true freedom” in 1354 DR, never to be seen again (her fate is unknown).

Esmaera Floshin (1306 DR - ? )

a quiet, nature-loving wanderer and weaver who “caught a sudden fire of restlessness” and joined the Harpers, departing the Sword Coast lands with some traveling Harper agents, bound for parts unknown. Her fate is not known, but Elorfindar doubts she’s still alive (she was briefly in Berdusk, was sent on a mission, and never returned; the mission is still unaccomplished).

Torandrar / Floshin Lineage

Shalendra “Dare-all” Floshin married (in 1199 DR) Maeriloumel Torandrar, a gold elf warrior much her elder (whose family had a trace of demonic ancestry dating back to the time of Siluvanede), who’d retired from adventuring and dwelt in the High Forest verges north of Secomber. They had a son, Alorel Torandrar, named for Maeriloumel’s grandsire, in 1229 DR, but Maeriloumel was slain (transformed into a beast and then blasted apart and burned) while fighting evil human adventurer-mages near his home in the spring of 1244 DR.

Alorel, maddened by grief, set off into the High Forest determined to hunt down and destroy his father’s killers. He soon ran into worse foes, and lost an arm. It and most of his gear were soon found by other elves, who brought them back to Shalendra. Grieving, she abandoned the Torandrar forest home and lost herself in the bustle of Waterdeep, and the strivings, splendors, and ambitions of humans for a century, ere returning to the Daggerford area.

In the meantime, the maimed Alorel met and was nursed back to health by Nynendra Mrauthae, a moon elf of a poor family dwelling in the forests of the Delimbiyr valley. They wed in 1265 DR and had two daughters, Kiratha Torandrar in 1279 DR and Rilathra Torandrar in 1282 DR. Alorel has never recovered from his father’s slaying, and has become bitter and brooding, given to killing rages and to suddenly storming off on long quests to seek the humans who slew his father (so far as is known, he has never found them, but he has made a lot of enemies and killed a lot of other human wizards, down the years). Alorel often beat his family and left them for dead, and Kiratha fled from him in the summer of 1349 DR. He promptly set about hunting her down, found her, and seemed on the verge of slaying her, but her mother Nynendra, who’d stealthily followed him, confronted Alorel and fought him, allowing Kiratha to escape. Alorel defeated Nynendra, leaving her for dead, but had in turn been sorely wounded by her, and wandered off into the High Forest screaming that he would “Avenge Maeriloumel this time!” (He has not been seen since).

Unbeknownst to her family, Rilathra Torandrar, the silent and darkly beautiful second daughter of Alorel and Nynendra, had stealthily followed her mother. She rescued the wounded Nynendra as soon as Alorel was out of sight, nursed her back to health, and the two of them then departed the Sword Coast lands, heading east for Hullack Forest in Cormyr, or beyond. Word of their fates and whereabouts has not come to Daggerford.

Kiratha Torandrar, or “Kira Highforest” as she is now known, knows of her Floshin heritage from her father, ere his descent into madness. Heartbroken at what she believed was the death of her mother at the hands of her mad father, she now wanders the Sword Coast lands, falling in with human caravans as a guard from time to time and exploring some of the human-dominated cities. She has begun to grow tired of their grasping and petty ways and may soon return to the Daggerford area to introduce herself to her Floshin kin.
