Noreen

in Great Families

The Noreen's pursue excellence in all things, they do not simply accept their sorcerous powers as the limit of their abilities, they study the arcane in great depth to enhance their understanding of the powers they wield and apply it’s sciences to their art. The Noreen’s are highly social animals, and as they see it that is their greatest strength, for any who bear the blood of Rashim can wield terrifying power, any sunborn can enhance their powers with arcane technique and training, but in truth what separates them, is their influence. As such the Noreen's spend much of their time in court and amongst the guilds to secure allegiances and favors, and non of the other families have the same close-knit business relations with the guilds as they do. The Noreen's are famous for their unique styles of magic, weaving in their courtly dances to whip up furious storms of fire to shield them, many have sought to copy their style, but to little avail. For the techniques are no mere dances, but intricate arcane patterns weaved around the body, further enhanced by the arcane tattoos the family inscribes upon themselves.   The Noreen's also possess a unique privilege, for as the family with the best arcane inclination, they are to preserve, prepare, and guard the various teleportation circles of the Sunborn. This honor was granted to them at the inception of their family when the current Radiant granted them the privilege and protection to establish themselves from that of the ancient Samitah family when their ancient founder sided with the Radiant during the first war for the sacred flame.   But some doubt the integrity of the Noreen's, for this support for the Radiant was not found during the second war, many say that they did send enough troops or support for the court. Though the Noreen's are quick to refute that they call they could spare in a time when the teleportation circles were under extreme risk.   The Noreen's are well-known keepers of knowledge, much akin to the Morag’Dra they seek not ordinary knowledge, but rather knowledge of forbidden magic and artifacts too dangerous to be found, and destroy it, and that which they cannot destroy they seek to contain and seal away. These things are kept in hidden caches and vaults and guarded by the hidden agents.
