Background

A prophecy held that two Ancraths united would end the game played by the Wise, the wielders of magic who used the feudal lords of the Broken Empire as pawns in the Hundred War. It was uncertain whether this meant only an end to the Hundred War or an end to magic itself. Members of the house include King Olidan Ancrath, his sons Jorg and William by Queen Rowen of Morrow, his son Degran by Sareth ap Scorron, and Jorg's son William II Ancrath.
