Londel Clan
Clan Londel originally resided near Pendeth. During the Baronial Revolt, Keler Londel served Earl Kalasen Curo well as a yeoman and was knighted for his fine leadership. After the Baronial Revolt, development of lands allowed Earl Kalasen Curo to grant Faeserol manor to Sir Keler.
In 673 at the Battle of Ramala, Sir Dronn Londel led a feint that drew the Thardic reserve. Some witnesses question whether Sir Dronn knew he was leading a feint given the ferocity of the charge and how long he maintained his position before withdrawing. For this exemplary service, King Torastra requested that Sir Dronn be made the Baron of Yeged or Pendeth. Earl Melsen Curo agreed and in 674 Sir Dronn was elevated to Baron Dronn Londel of Yeged.
Yeged Keep is in bad shape and it is getting worse. Several parts of the cellar have collapsed and flooded. None of the Barons of Yeged have seen fit to expend the substantial effort needed to repair the keep.
Sir Churus Londel is the current Baron of Yeged. Sir Churus is regarded by many a foolish romantic. He is definitely a patron of the arts. Instead of concentrating on management of his estates and repairing Yeged keep, he spends his time on musical composition and enjoying the performance of various visiting thespians.
Sir Churus would also like to spend time traveling. Currently, he seeks to travel north to Orbaal via Noron's Way, strangely believing Noron is a patron of the arts. His fondest dream is to travel to Evael.
Sir Churus' wife, Lady Urila, is a cousin of the Baron of Tonot. In practice, she manages the barony. She has remarkable political acumen and has supported Earl Curo for years. She has adamantly opposed her husband's 'foolish adventure' and has absolutely refused to allow him to take any of their children.
Their oldest child, Keleren, is a precocious youngster who delights in the fantastic tales told by visiting thespians. Lady Urila has brought in a tutor to ensure Keleren masters his letters and numbers, but is often disturbed by his fondness for stories and prays that he will grow out of it.
Sir Churus' mother, Lady Quinilla, lives at Cellabe manor. She is the sister of Baron Kisan Tesla of Esenor. Sir Churus dreads her visits, which inevitably mean a litany of criticisms of Sir Churus' mistakes and general languor. Curiously, Lady Urila gets along reasonably well with Lady Quinilla. This may be due to general agreement concerning Sir Churus' faults.
The entire family deeply misses Sir Churus' brother, Vuris, who died last year of a wasting disease. A quiet and considerate man, Lady Quinilla has remarked on more than one occasion that he would have made a better baron than Sir Churus.
Sir Masan, Sir Churus' cousin once removed, is the Reblena of the Kibyn chapterhouse of the Lady of Paladins. Sir Churus has only met his cousin on a couple of occasions over the years.
