Linain
The LINAIN family is of old Rhuani lineage and counts itself among the earliest vassals of the Throne. The family has seen better days as the sole lineage member alive is the young Lady Ginaeve. The family is in service to the Eorl of Eventide and has been for nearly two centuries. The Eorl has taken a personal interest in the family and the young Lady likely due to the late Lord Linain serving as his squire in their youth.
