Upon the life-giving bow where the Trorane River Delta meets with the North Sea, the lords of House Kenra look out from Brackmere across the lands of River’s End, and revel in the hope, prosperity, and opportunity they see therein. A people known for their altruistic pragmatism, sense of justice, and the joy of a simple life, House Kenra stands apart from the high intrigue of the Aethorian court. While other houses trade in whispers and shadows, Kenra trades in steel, sustenance, and the promise of prosperity. Located in the fertile, distinct biome of River's End, they are a relative breadbasket for the frozen north and the shield of the coast. They are staunch, perhaps the only, true loyalists to King Rowan Storvane, viewing his "reign of the people" as the highest form of justice. 

Lord Garrick Kenra respects the King as much as he loathes the capital itself, and the perceived stain that such a hive of oiled vipers puts upon his longtime ally and friend. A mountain of a man, Lord Garrick is jovial, capable, and direct. He views intrigue and subterfuge as the play of weak men, and as such, Lord Garrick gives such matters little thought. However, he is pragmatic enough to know that continuing King Rowan’s reign through stable succession won’t come by chance, and House Kenra will focus its might to bolster such a noble goal. 

While Garrick holds the sword, Lady Elara Kenra holds the pen. She manages the massive logistics of River's End. She is sharp, observant, and far more politically astute than her husband. She knows they are walking into a roil that Lord Garrick is woefully underestimating. Though she is much more of a strategist than her husband, Lady Elara is still every bit a Kenra--she can fight, drink, sing, and dance with the best fishwives the Delta can breed.

The eldest of Lord Garrick and Lady Elara’s progeny, Valerius Kenra is a man raised to be his father’s son. Tall, rigid, and honorable to a fault. He is arguably one of the best swordsmen of his generation, but he has zero charm. He speaks plainly and finds courtship baffling. His time as a teenager fighting against Free Cloak pirates along the Glasrial coast has made him confident and capable with a blade, but utterly lacking in tact and seduction when it comes to the fairer sex. Aware of his shortcomings, Valerius takes to his duty to his house with not so much alacrity, but a stoic resolve. He appeals to a Royal who wants a protector and stability, not poetry. He offers the Royal heir an army and a husband who will never lie to them--even when the truth would do well to be softened with polite fiction.[/color][/justify][/cell][/row][/table][/center][center]——————————————————————————————————————————————[/center]

Known affectionately--and derisively--as the Huntress, Lyra Kenra, eldest daughter of Lord Garrick and Lady Elara, lives up to her moniker in every sense of the word. Athletic, observant, capable, strong, and cunning, Lyra is a Kenra of River’s End that is a true amalgamation of her parents’ qualities. Raised in equal measure in the halls of Brackmere and amidst the pines of Brackmere Wood, Lyra exemplifies the balance of skill and character Lady Elara wishes Valerius would possess. What Lyra lacks, however, is her eldest brother’s sense of duty to the goals of House Kenra. Lyra takes the family’s motto to heart in the truest sense--wishing to forge her own fate, free of the constraints of a predetermined life.[/color][/justify][/cell][/row][/table][/center][center]——————————————————————————————————————————————[/center]

The last surviving sibling of Lord Garrick, Torin “The Hook” Kenra, is the most stalwart of champions for House Kenra. Though he loves Garrick dearly, Torin is wary of his brother’s unyielding support for the altruistic king. His wariness is born upon the awareness that the tides are shifting for King Rowan, as much as Garrick chooses to disregard such notions. As King Rowan's Master of Secrets, Torin views his role in the family as its most staunch protector amidst the shrouded and complex role as the court's whispering shadow. Where Garrick often chooses “King and Country” as his lodestone, Torin’s loyalty is solely to his family and its continued governance of River’s End. Thus far, in his tenure as Master of Secrets, these allegiances have aligned--but that is a marriage of circumstance that could easily change. Cynical, intelligent, and gruff, Torin is a man bent on keeping House Kenra’s status quo. 

His nickname derives from the steel fishing-net hook prosthetic that has replaced the lower half of Torin’s left arm. As a young man, Torin lost the arm in battle, fighting for King Rowan’s cause.

Dark-haired, roguishly handsome, and possessing a silver tongue, he is the charm that Valerius lacks. He manages the House's hawks and hounds but functions socially as their diplomat in informal settings. Silas is fiercely loyal to River's End, but he is bored. He craves recognition. He acts as the House's "fixer" for problems that honor forbids Garrick from handling. He is a wild card because while he serves Kenra, he plays the game of thrones for the thrill of it, often taking risks that make Lady Elara nervous.[/color][/sup][/justify][/cell][cell][color=2e2c2c].[/color][/cell][cell][img]https://i.imgur.com/jJrbajz.png[/img]

He grew up as a ward in Brackmere and became Valerius’s only close friend. Where Valerius is the body of the House's honor, Elian is the mind. He is ostensibly there to record the history of the event, but his true value lies in his knowledge of precedent. He can weaponize old laws and treaties to defend House Kenra when they are verbally cornered by wittier opponents. He is the one person Valerius trusts completely with his insecurities.[/color][/sup][/justify][/cell][/row][/table][/center]
