House Darlton traces its importance to the old Arnorian imperial world. Its words, “Honor of Generations,” express an identity built around ancestry, service and the continuity of the family.

Great Lord Andreas Darlton rules from Artedain. Stern and respected, he began as an ordinary soldier and served as Bismarck's adjutant. His military record includes the victory at Delthenor that helped make the advance on Deirtale possible.

His brother William is associated with the treasury and the political calculations surrounding the crisis of 951. The family's different branches also include Wolfgang, Ludwig and Siegfried, each with descendants whose positions matter to the dynasty's future.

Wolfgang, the principal heir and a Sacred practitioner, governs with the knowledge that his daughters and their marriages belong to the family's political landscape.

The house's arms bear a broad gold chevron and three gold fleurs-de-lis on red.

Its public language is honor. Its private decisions still require money, succession and difficult compromises.
