The House of Manx

The Manx name was first adopted by the eccentric Gerhart manx, only son of the Grand Mage Merik. Gerhart sought to distance himself from his all-too-famous father, so he moved to the city of Stonebridge, where he spent most of his time in the company of goblins.
This was, at the time, a considerable scandal. Gerhart's father, Merik, had twice been betrayed by goblins, and he hated their kind. He rfused to speak to his son, ever again. After being disowned by his father, Gerhart took the name Manx, which he passed on to his own children.
Like all the great magical families, the Manxes are believed to be descended from Numerius the Wise, one of the original founders of the Legion. If this is true, then the bloodline is almost fourteen hundred years old.
