Ygrayne

The glass sees all

Major House

LORD: Marchioness Euwen Ygrayne

An enormously wealthy House, Ygrayne is renowned for the finest mirrors beneath the sea. Ygrayne claims descent from the first Catoptromancers, whose scrying and other magic helped defeat the Tritons in Rebma's earliest days. When their secrets began to diffuse into general study, they sought other ways to maintain their position, and became known for the physical crafting of mirrors.

Ygrayne still produces more than its share of exemplary mirror-mages, however. Those who delve deeper than normal into the advanced mysteries find themselves beholden to Ygrayne's resources, and to many in Rebma the House and higher initiates of mirror magic are indistinguishable. It is whispered that they have discovered a way to imbue mirrors themselves with magic, allowing the uninitiated to make use of them.

Recently, Ygrayne has begun to use its wealth, along with its political and mystical influence, to express displeasure with some of Queen Moire's decisions. They have not, of course, spoken outright of treason, but their criticism has been vocal enough to cause them to be considered political opposition to the Crown.
