House Leadora

The first of the noble houses of Pelee. Jandra was the first granddaughter of Queen Leadora, who like her mother had only had one daughter 4 years prior to Jandra's birth. Leadora's grandmother, Rosililly, on her deathbed, had named Leadora the first Queen of Pelee a year before Jandra's birth. The new queen was so thrilled to have a granddaughter, that she named her a @ladyof her house: House Leadora, and so the tradition of nobility began in the newly formed nation.
It is illegal for a Pelesian to marry within four generations. The Main House of Leadora takes this more as a directive than a warning, and they marry their daughters to a prince's son every fourth generation (they do not marry them to a prince as it will more often than not lead only to boys and end the line).
