House Chelance

The House Chelance is the preeminent family among the Kelldarmen, being among the wealthiest and the most powerful families in (or beyond) the Kellvarlan Empire.
 * Founder: Gerard Chelance (Gerard of the Lance)
 * Current Head: Adrian Chelance
 * Emblem: Crimson Waves on White, superimposed with Tusks Crossed
 * Seat: Chelldarness (formerly Markfane)

Powerful though they are, they are a relatively young house. They trace their origin to Gerard of the Lance, who led the army that put an end to the Skainlander invasion of Kelldarland. He claimed the Lance of Riders from the slain Gunbearn Rigner King after the Rigner King had taken it from the slain hero, Hadrin Ritterrax of Star's Eye.

The High Muster of Ritter Lords awarded him patent and regency of the Markfane, where he established the House Chelance.
