HOUSE LYTHAROS
An arcane house specialising in mind and portal magics, as well as ancient ruins. Their colours are white and cerulean (a dark green-blue).
The House has a regimented hierarchy and one must progress through various ranks, with promotions of more than one rank extremely rare.
COMMON KNOWLEDGE
They have academies in Ialorus and Doraza, the two cities with easiest access to the ancient ruins of northern Turath.
They consider House Carandax and House Verdana rivals and the Houses do not get along. The Carandaxians are just a little too steeped in the dark arts and House Verdana will do anything for a profit, including looting ruins and selling relics of old Turath in distant lands.
The ruler of the house is Berevar Nexusweaver, a male xeph aasimar.
REGIONAL FEATURES
Etheric Observatory
The Observatory is a sprawling complex, nestled amoung the spurs of the mountains that form the west wall of the city of Iolarus. The Portal School is high on one of these spurs whilst the School of Mind Magic is lower down with waters from the mountain streams flowing through and around it.

PEOPLE OF REALM
The house does not vary much from the typical demographic of New Turath. Most members are humans and tieflings, though the House does not make use of undead guards or workers. There are still a few intelligent undead members, but they are rarer than in other Houses, especially [[House Carandax]]]. Some minotaurs are employed as guards. Where the house differs is in its relations to shifters. As members are often out exploring ruins, they have come to rely on and value the shifters as guides. Many have been invited back to the House and serve willingly. For that same reason (only for the wilds of the Emerald Coast), there are some tiendarri within the House too. There are a few xeph members too - definitely a higher proportion than are linked to other Houses.
ADVENTURERS
House Lytharos are always sending their members to explore the ancient ruins of the original Turathi. Also, mastering portal magic means going places, so many members take up a life of travel and adventure.
The following Talent Trees are open to anyone that studies at the house's magical academies: Arcana, Delver, Mental Toughness, Psionic, Portal
INDIVIDUALS
High Wizard Talisella Stargazer has been travelling to piece together the famed artefact, the Aethersphere of Alanadrax. She recently left for ruin near the northern border of New Turath with her apprentice, ???
The Aethersphere is an artefact from Bael Turath. Legends say it was put together by House Alanadrax during the wars with Arkhosia. Unlike most Houses at the time, Alanadrax refused to make a pact with devils. The Aethersphere was going to be their saviour. It supposedly created portals to a vast plane called the Astral Sea. It is unknown whether the House were going to use the sphere to gate in allies or to leave Turath.
Talisella had gathered the pieces of the Aethersphere in the northern ruin and was journeying with the last piece to hopefully find out the fate of House Alanadrax all those centuries ago.
She had documented, that you could not bring two shards of the sphere within close proximity of another or they would teleport back to each of the ruined observatories of the Alanadrax. You could only assemble them together in one of the ruins, one at a time.
