House Vaelith

House Vaelith is an old grove-line entrusted with sanctuary law, guest rites, and the delicate politics of who may be trusted with Lysvar's paths. Its members are praised for courtesy and feared for remembering every broken confidence. Their halls are lit by lanterns reflected in dark water, with guest benches carved beside warning marks. Welcome is their art, but withdrawal is their power. The house knows that a soft word can save a refugee and that the same word, spoken to the wrong ear, can open the realm to slaughter.
