House Capewell is a family nearly as old as the Third Era itself, established by Saint-King Alen Capewell around the foundation of the Templar Order. Members of this family, as direct descendants of the Saint King, have in them the bloodright of divine kings. It is the most respected house in all of Alenthyl and have held the throne for the vast majority of Alenthylian history.

## History

The earliest history of the Capewell house begins with the noble Saint-King Alen, founder of the nation of Alenthyl. All Capewells are said to have descended from him, but the reputation of the family has since seen degradation since the fall of Alenthyl in 3E 1150.
