The legendary parties of House Adhonin are the subject of many late-night tales in taverns and other establsihments. They are a perfect mixture of debauchery and easy-going fun, far less stuck up than the feasts of other houses. They are known to employ the best chefs, sommeliers, musicians, and bartenders. Of course, it helps to have access to an endless supply of libations produced by their vineyards and distilleries.
House Adhonin controls several of the largest and most popular taverns. They are also the caretakers of several temples in Tel Amnora. The largest is to Aegir, but Idun and Balder are also represented.
House Adhonin descends from Rheawyn Adhonin, a cleric of Helianna in the early Empire. She has recently earned sainthood within the Pilgrim Knights, despite her living a full 800 years before their founding. Some have called this out as a shallow attempt at appeasing High Prince Sirath by a foreign power, but others see it as a potential revival of old forms of worship.
The retinue of House Adhonin mostly serves to protect the shrines of the city. The family has several skilled clerics and paladins among their members, and more through their retinue. It also includes a company of Spears stationed at the Pilgrim Knight hospital.
House Adhonin have a violet coat of arms that depicts a vine with berries and leaves.
