Oltan (Parnak)

Oltan
Motto. "Blood is Thicker than Water"
Crest. White fleur de rus (ornate flower) on a blue field.
House Oltan is the oldest house in all of Rastegar kingdom and was once directly related to House Marcheshvan, the former ruling house of the kingdom. It maintains its own regional government, the Oltania Rus, in defiance of the rest of the kingdom and it still operates exactly as it did in the days of old. Above all, a respect for tradition and the true power of family are held to the highest standard.
Seat of Power. Oltania. A grand old city, perhaps one of the only major cities in the kingdom to still have buildings with thatched roofs and old stone walls. Oltania sits in the shadows of the Vermillion Mountains and is just north of the coast of the Medramic Ocean. It remained untouched by all the wars that have befallen Rastegar, and Oltan Manor is one of the grandest castles that still stands in all of Parnak.
Current Duchess. Erma Oltan. According to witnesses, she was responsible for the attack and eventual death of the new king. One witness, the elf knight, states that is unlikely. She is a methodical and precise ruler and is said to dabble in dark magics. She has been seen riding in the sky of her duchy on the back of a fiery black horse.
