Ulvenson Family

The **Ulvenson family** later known as **House Ulvenson** was originally a peasant house that traces back to the village of Hoarton in the Kingdom of Aedirn.

The family possessed a powerful Source gene though only a few members have actually manifested it, with a majority being just carriers of the gene.

The **Ulvenson family** would be raised up in the 12th century under Eoltan who took on the surname from his maternal heritage under his great grand uncle's request. The family home would become Thornwood Manor which would aid and receive aid from their relative Adalwulf of Aedirn.

Four years after taking over **Eoltan** would be given the title of Baron and would be given a barony over the area. This would make the Ulvenson family, a noble family.

## History

### Peasantry days

Originally the bloodline of the Ulvenson name can be traced back to an Aedirnian peasant couple: Ralluald, a retired soldier turned peasant and his wife Ugga who was also a peasant in the village of Hoarton.

#### 1114 AR

The couple (Ralluald and Ugga) are married.

#### 1115 AR

The eldest Ulvenson child, a daughter named Taeka was born.

#### 1116 AR

The second Ulvenson child, another daughter named Dheiphi was born.

#### 1117 AR

The third Ulvenson child, a son named Daskel was born.

#### 1121 AR

The fourth and fifth Ulvenson children, the fraternal twins: the daughter Eishe and the son Adalwulf were born.

#### 1122 AR

The sixth Ulvenson child, a daugther Oki was born.

#### 1124 AR

The final Ulvenson child, a daughter named Arrah was born.

#### 1125 AR

Ralluald contracts a curse from a mage. This curse manifested itself as a major psychosis that turned **Ralluald** violent, irrational, and depressive. In desperation, **Ralluald** would privately promise his eldest son **Daskel** to a Witcher of the School of the Wolf in exchange for a cure from the curse, the Witcher instead later chose the younger **Adalwulf** saying he felt a tug of destiny from the boy. So desperate was **Ralluald** that he agreed without even telling his wife or the rest of his family.

#### 1131 AR

Four years after his contract, the Witcher came to take **Adalwulf** to Kaer Morhen, Ugga, of course, was against this, Ralluald having not told her anything until the Witcher came for their son, and **Eishe**, in particular, was very distraught at her brother being taken away but **Adalwulf** took the witcher's hand and was calmly led away to his new life. Later that night **Eishe** manifested her powers for the first time telekinetically blasting a boulder in a cave where she had gone to vent her frustration.

On the day of his brother's departure, **Daskel** would join a group of local musicians and learn to be a bard from them leaving his position of the future head of the household behind.

#### 1134 AR

**Ralluald** slacks off on his curse treatment, thinking his curse to be treated, and ends up dying. Because of his giving his son **Adalwulf** to a witcher for treatment and his failure to keep up with his treatment, his family has little sympathy for him. He has a simple funeral and is promptly forgotten by most of his relatives.

#### 1135 AR

Eldest daughter **Taeka** would elope with a man who would turn out to be a philandering man who slept around and refused to stop when she found out. She would never return to the old Ulvenson household though.

#### April 23, of the Imbolc Savaed, 1136 AR

While playing in a field with her younger sister **Arrah**, a deep reconnaissance Nilfgaardian scouting party happens upon **Eishe**, not wanting any witnesses to their presence the scouts attempt to kill the girls with arrows, **Arrah** manifests her powers saving her sister, seeing such a powerful display from the young girl, the scouts change their mind to kidnap **Arrah**. **Eishe** fearing losing another family member manifests her powers again paralyzing all the soldiers long enough for **Arrah** to get back to the village and for **Ugga** to rally the men. **Eishe** loses her grip on one of the soldiers and he knocks her out, the scouts decide to take Eishe instead and retreat back south. **Eishe** is forcibly enrolled at the Imperial Magic Academy or as it is called 'Gweison Haul', to learn to use her magic for the good of the Empire.

**Arrah** who was left behind tried to explain what happened, but then word got out about **Arrah's** magical affinity, and a representative of Aretuza, came to collect **Arrah** for a proper magical education.

### 1151 AR

Taeka is cursed by a Coram Agh Tera cultist for refusing her charity so the cultist cursed her so that food she ate turned to ash in her mouth, but she could not starve.

### 1219 AR

## Family Motto

Though originally a poor, peasant family back in its roots of the 11th century, three members of the family would rise above the others: two sorceresses and a witcher. The witcher would be knighted and would pass his lands and title to his great grand nephew Eoltan under the promise of reuniting and strengthening the family line. It is at this time that Adalwulf would teach a Toissaintoi phrase 'Noblesse Oblige' which would become the driving force to building the land from a knight land to a barony.
