Since we are getting more active elf RPers hanging around Silvermoon and getting involved in Sin'dorei politics and such, I thought it would be nice to have a list of all the known and active Houses...since as a pompous court of elves, we should probably all know about each other ;)
TEMPLATE:
House Name:
Type: (ie: Noble, Merchant, Commoner, Conclave, ect.)
Description:
Members:
Guests: (people who are not neccesarily house members but may be staying there/under protection of the house).

Misc Info:
House Name: House Blooddrake
Type: Noble/Merchant
Description: The house wasn't considered a noble house in any capacity until Vandrian returned from his exile from Silvermoon (exile ended after Quel'Danas, when he was welcomed back and received an honorary magister title), and even then there wasn't much until Vandrian returned again after Undercity and met Ellisse and Lellenthyr. Vandrian pretty much made the house through his dealings with the Silvermoon political bodies, and was not born into nobility. It didn't exist before Vandrian.
Members: Vandrian Bloodrake, Lellenthyr Blooddrake, Telilenth Blooddrake, Velexie Kohler (adopted).
Guests: Ryni and Ophelia have been invited to stay.
Location: Silvermoon Exchange
Misc Info: What there is of the house consists primarily of Vandrian's businesses and Lellenthyr's interests. To date it's unclear where the income of the house comes from, as Vandrian has little in the way of visible monetary income beyond his on-and-off work for the Horde military.
House Name: House Mi'Neris
Type: Merchant
Description: The Noble house of De'Aerin was a patron to this merchant family and because of thier finanical assistance, this house amassed an impressive fleet and fortune. During the fall of Silvermoon nearly all of the De'Aerin family were slain and all thier assets were seized and now are in the possession of house Mi'Neris.
Members: Dhizelandra Mi'Neris, Vinecus De'Aerin (deceased)
Guests: None
Location: Eversong Woods
Misc Info: Dhizelandra as a character doesn't play anymore, and has been regulated to NPC status and a hermit who refuses visitors, preferring to sail instead. This family is mainly mentioned because Lellenthyr is the current hieress when Dhizelandra dies.
House Name: House Windsphere
Type: Noble
Description: A branch family of House De'Aerin (now House Mi'Neris) connected by marriage only.
Members: Laethellewyn Windsphere, Lellenthyr Blooddrake (maiden name: Windsphere)
Guests: None
Location: N/A
Misc Info: Laethellewyn doesn't really care much about the house anymore, with most of its assets also belonging to House Mi'Neris. His sister Lellenthyr married into another family. Laethe uses what money remains to fund his decadent lifestyle and maintain his beautiful hair.
((I swear we have other threads about this lol))
House Name: House Sunrider
Type: Nobility, but very diluted and middle class noble blood.
Description: Being of lesser noble blood, House Sunrider has existed since the coming of the elves from Kalimdor after the Sundering. With a long line of devoted military service, the Sunriders have produced many capable rangers and soliders, however their bloodline is unable to produce any children with magical abilities.
Members: (In order of age) Lucrezia Sunrider (Deceased) Livonze Sunrider (Deceased) Luciana Sunrider (Deceased) Aiventine Sunrider (Deceased) Revan'aldor Sunrider (Deceased) Julia'vana Sunrider (Deceased) Luke'anon Sunrider (Lockon L Lockfall) Alekstraya Sunrider, Marina Sunrider
Guests: None
Location: Formally Ghostlands, Windrunner Village, now currently Hillsbrad Foothills (Dandred's Fold)
Misc Info: The House has mostly been forgotten by the rest of Silvermoon's general population, though it has a reputation for producing the legendary Luciana Sunrider. The family has a notable distate for the nobilty, despite swearing loyalty to the homeland.
(Even with Dhel’s version, I have to say this one makes more sense for Eliona. She no longer claims nobility, but was once apart of a minor noble house through marriage. I figured I could list the house in general as opposed to a singular character and her ties.)
House Name: House Sel’thelar
Type: Noble/Merchant
Description: House Sel’thelar was once a minor noble family dealing in political affairs.
Members: Adeyn Sel’thelar (Deceased), Cecilia Sel’thelar (Deceased), Achien Sel’thelar (Deceased), Teldran Sel’thelar, Eliona Embersong (Formerly Eliona Embersong-Sel’thelar)
Guests: None
Location: N/A
Misc Info: After the invasion, the Sel’thelar family suffered great loses, perhaps beyond repair. Teldran remains as the only heir, given the fact Eliona was unable to produce a child with her former husband. The house has been unofficially dissolved, due to Teldran being MIA and Eliona’s detachment to the house since the death of her husband. The house has become forgotten by most Sin’dorei.
House Name: House Blacksun
Type: Noble/Conclave/Other
Description: The Elven Noble House Blacksun is a mid-tier noble house. Their former head, Renth Blacksun, was a minor member of the Conclave of Silvermoon. His son and now head, Dhel’renth Blacksun works to the same position thought the Conclave is dissolved.
Members: Dhel’renth Blacksun (head), Tzyreaux Blacksun, Jesauna Blacksun, Renth Blacksun, Myuna Blacksun (deceased), Rayon Blacksun, Ventus Blacksun
Guests: Carmila Suntreader, Tyr’sol Suntreader, Hina’ea Solarstorm
Location: Eversong Wood
Misc Info: House Blacksun are the nobles that are charged with some of the more “shady” and darker dealings of the ruling powers. When something needs to be taken care of underwraps, it is usually House Blacksun that is called upon. While specifics are never divulged, the rumors that circle have given this house a darker connotation when spoken of.
House Name: House Solarstorm
Type: Noble/Historian
Description: The Elven Noble House Solarstorm is a low tier noble house. They act as record keepers and diplomatic liasons. The House has fallen on hard times and only one surviving member is left holding up the name.
Members: Hina’ea Solarstorm, Myuna Blacksun (deceased), Zadon Solarstorm (deceased), Eyvonè Solarstorm (deceased), Anandor Lightray (deceased)
Guests: Carmila Suntreader, Tyr’sol Suntreader
Location: Eversong Wood
Misc Info: House Solarstorm is linked to House Blacksun by marriage, but Hina’ea still maintains its independence since the link to said house died in the Scourge’s sacking of Quel’Thalas.
House Name: House Ravenwood
Type: Lower Tier Nobility
Description: The Elven Noble House of Ravenwood were not likely to be seen consorting with their higher ranking counterparts as their place was usually on the field of battle. Forming a major portion of the city's military strength, the name of the family, at one time, carried with it a great amount of influence. As time has passed and numbers dwindled, that influence is nearly non-existent, and the title that the head of the House carries, is little more than a courtesy.
Members: Catharta Ravenwood (current head), Sesca Ravenwood, Talathea Ravenwood, Valinor Ravenwood, Arkham Ravenwood (deceased)
Guests: N/A
Location: Farstrider's Square
Misc Info: The House has mostly been forgotten by the rest of Silvermoon's general population, although Catharta, as head of the House maintains the title of Baroness.
