Lore:House Aurmine

Shornhelm ca. 2E 582

Maurrie Aurmine

House Aurmine was a Breton noble family dating back at least to the late-fifth century of the First Era, and the reign of King Festrien Spenard I. They were known to be his staunch supporters, sworn enemies of the House Direnni. They were known vassals of the House Spenard of Shornhelm, and patrons of the Knights of the Pale Order. The Knightly Order, under their patronage, slaughtered the Direnni wholesale during the latter years of their flight from High Rock.

House Aurmine's heraldry was deemed omnious and was rendered as the shield flanked by boars and snares, or according to other sources, noses.

Many of the vassals of the Spenard dynasty were commonly accused of vampirism, though there is no known evidence or proof of members of House Aurmine being vampires.

Circa 2E 582, a member of the University of Gwylim's Antiquarian Circle discovered and unearthed an ancestral signet of the House Aurmine bearing the insignia of the family.

Although as of 2E 582, the scholars considered the house ancient and obscure, the house remained active as of 3E 427. A noblewoman known as Maurrie Aurmine visited Vvardenfell at that time. It is, however, unknown whether or not the Aurmines of the Third Era were connected to the Aurmines of the First Era.
