House Orrimbar

House Orrimbar of Velincant was one of the Great Houses of Velincant and the principal noble house from 86 T.A until 87 Fo.A. In days of old they ruled as Earls of the West Ice in Nithilvirn, but since they migrated down they rose to Thegns of Velincant. Their seat, the Thegn's Hall, was the only place in which the thegns ever ruled from.

Thegns of Velincant
House Orrimbar became the principle house in Velincant after the Northern Law was signed in 86 T.A guaranteeing their rulership.

Under their rule the Secret of Life was discovered but also the great hardship of the Thorn Years were felt, however, they managed to bring their home from that life with the death of Brigard Thorn at the hands of Calenthir.

Renaming
In 173 T.A, Annûntirith of House Orrimbar declared that the house would be renamed to House Greydawn to symbolise a new era for Velincant.

Traits
The members of House Orrimbar were known for their dark brown hair and grey eyes. They were honourable and loyal only to wisdom and what is right. They also had a tendency to be scholarly and become wise and knowledgeable, something that Cathal, brother to Annûntirith, broke away from, being a strong and wild warrior.

Sworn and Cadet Houses
House Virrimbar was a cadet branch formed by Cathal Orrimbar after his marriage to Isolda Virn.

House Vale was a sworn to House Orrimbar as they were another Valic house that settled in Velincant.
