奠基的雷涅尔

在西方王国，贵族出身的精灵能够被授予由当地国王决定的某些权限。任何与雷涅尔有血缘关系的精灵都被认为是贵族。大多数雷涅尔规模较小，只统治一个盖里斯。少数小的雷涅尔足够强大而拥有他们自己的附庸国或者统治另一个盖里斯，但这种情况并不多见。

其中有三家雷涅尔，奠基的雷涅尔，地位显著高于其他。他们之中的每一家都领导着多个有影响力的盖里斯，并在瑟瑞萨的议会中占有一席之地。每家奠基雷涅尔都由一名家主领导，家主从雷涅尔成员中选择一名作为议员。在这些家族中，如果有哪家没有直接统治一个盖里斯，那他们早已通过誓言或投资施加了影响。

劇透 -   : THE FOUNDING RANELLES
Elves of noble birth in the Western Kingdoms are afforded certain permissions as determined by the local king. Any elf related to a ranelle is considered nobility. Most ranelles are minor and only rule a single gerryth. A few minor ranelles are powerful enough to have their own vassals or rule over another gerryth, but this is uncommon.
Three ranelles have significantly higher status and influence than the rest. These are the “Founding Ranelles.” Each of these families lead multiple influential gerryth and have a seat among the consortis of Sereatha. Each Founding Ranelle is led by a Patriarch or Matriarch and this leader selects one from their ranelle to serve as consortis. If one of these families do not directly rule a gerryth, they have influence there through oath or investment.

埃斯卡兰纳雷涅尔

埃斯卡兰纳与所有神秘的事物联系密切。这一声誉是由几个世纪以来对魔法技艺的研究与奉献换来的。该家族的一支作为荆棘仪式的创造者在血林享有盛名，西方的埃斯卡兰纳人渴望建立自己的身份，证明自己的力量。
达苏勒（Dathule），传说中埃斯卡兰纳的第一任家主，与她的家人一同穿越拜德韦尔寻求启迪。当他们在未来的瑟瑞萨登陆，她选择继续往内陆前进。她委派自己的妹妹奈萨拉（Naesala）召集西方的精灵，在温和的海岸建造起一处港湾。

天灾之后，当瑟瑞萨与血林建立联系，埃斯卡兰纳两个遥远的分支在一个不稳定的联盟中合作。伊奥林的上台破坏了和平，忠于格维登罗的埃斯卡兰纳人迫不及待回到了家乡。
近年来，西方的埃斯卡兰纳带头进行了多次深入荒野的探险，并且对废区尤其感兴趣。这个家族专注于在任何可能的地点发现失落的盖里斯，并花费大量资源找出这些失落的城市。他们常常把学习者协会视作便利的盟友，尽管这种关系有时是单向的；埃斯卡兰纳家并不总是乐于分享他们的发现。

三家奠基雷涅尔中，埃斯卡兰纳家监管着最少的盖里斯，但他们麾下的少数人往往极其忠诚。

劇透 -   : The Escalanas Ranelle
The Escalanas are closely associated with all things mystical. This reputation was earned over centuries of research and dedication to the magical arts. With a branch of the family renowned in Blood Wood as the creators of the Ritual of Thorns, the Escalanas of the west are eager to establish their own identity and prove their power.
Dathule, the legendary first Matriarch of the Escalanas, accompanied her family across the Bwydvir in search of enlightenment. When they made landfall on the future site of Sereatha, she chose to continue inland. She tasked her sister, Naesala, with gathering the elves of the west and make for them a haven on the gentle shores.
After the Scourge, when contact was established with Blood Wood, the two distant branches of the Escalanas ranelle worked in an uneasy alliance. Iolyn’s recent rise to power has fractured that peace and the Escalanas loyal to the Gwydenro eagerly returned home.
In recent years, the western Escalanas have spearheaded many expeditions into the deep wilds and have a particular interest in the Wastes. The family is focused on uncovering lost gerryth wherever they might be found and expends considerable resources seeking out these lost cities. The family often views the Learners’ Guild (p. 194) as allies of convenience, though this relationship is sometimes one way; the Escalanas are not always interested in sharing their discoveries.
Out of the three Founding Ranelles, the Escalanas oversee the fewest gerryth, but those few they hold tend to be fiercely loyal.
家主阿尔琳德拉·埃斯卡兰纳（Alyndra Escalanas）
尽管资历已深，阿尔琳德拉依然坚持走学者之道。当她成为家主时，她才刚刚踏上这条道途。前一任家主是阿尔琳德拉的姐姐，她在地下生活的最后几年里陷入疯狂。阿尔琳德拉宣称死亡是阿拉基娅领导失败的直接结果，她总是那些与血林划清界限的，格维登罗精灵的声援者。
阿尔琳德拉大部分时间都待在瑟瑞萨。由于更喜欢在奠基之塔（the Foundation Spire）执行职责，她少有拜访自己的领地和臣国。每个月，她都会去伊默里特森林（Imerit Wood）的一处私人庄园呆上几天，还留了一艘小型私人空艇供往来之用。瑟瑞萨恢复以来，阿尔琳德拉就拒绝踏入基城（Foundation）的地下隔间。宫廷中有传言表明，她害怕回到自己童年的家。

劇透 -   : Matriarch Alyndra Escalanas
Despite her seniority, Alyndra continues to walk the path of Scholars. She was only beginning her Journey down that path when she became Matriarch. The previous Matriarch was Alyndra’s older sister who went mad during Sereatha’s final years underground. Pronouncing the death a direct result of Alachia’s failed leadership, Alyndra has always been a vocal proponent of the Gwydenro elves standing apart from Blood Wood.
Alyndra spends most of her time in Sereatha. Visits to her holdings and vassals are infrequent, as she prefers to perform her duties in the Foundation Spire (p. 176). She travels to a private estate in the Imerit Wood for a few days every month and she keeps a small personal airship on retainer for these journeys. Alyndra has refused to set foot in the underground chambers of the Foundation since Sereatha emerged. Rumors among the court suggest she is afraid to return to her childhood home.

芬萨罗雷涅尔

芬萨罗人以骁勇善战著称。他们早期有记载的历史可以追溯到凯尔萨拉，第一任家主盖尔林（Gaelin）施以铁腕统治的土地。他将当地居民编入一支可怕的战斗部队，并利用自己的影响力建起至今矗立的庞大石制要塞。

芬萨罗与其他奠基雷涅尔联合得十分勉强，他们一直是自己权利和盖里斯的坚定捍卫者，注重自身需求先于整个格维登罗。也许是因为这种内在的专注，芬萨罗在天灾中蒙受损失最小，而今天宣誓效忠于他们的盖里斯比任何其他雷涅尔的都多。
收复土地后，芬萨罗人集中精力重建基础设施。虽然他们尊重瑟瑞萨议会的力量，但芬萨罗人宁愿让他们最有前途的成员远离首都。因此，蕾贾（Leja）在芬萨罗的土地上影响力相对较弱，她的意见和家主任意一个封臣的没什么区别。

芬萨罗军队和赤塔骑士通常有着共同的目标，许多雄心勃勃的芬萨罗年轻人加入该组织以获得声誉。脱离勇士之道后，很多芬萨罗人就离开骑士团，去迎接他们的下一个挑战。当骑士们保护格维登罗免遭外部威胁或自然灾害时，芬萨罗军队把大部分的时间花在了维护与忠诚盖里斯之间的和平和建设公共工程上。芬萨罗与锡拉建立了一个有利可图的贸易联盟，在他们的地盘凯尔萨拉进行着活跃的交易。锡拉文化的影响在许多年轻贵族的衣着和行为上可见一斑，这一趋势在瑟瑞萨的宫廷中也没有被忽视。

劇透 -   : The Fensalor Ranelle
The Fensalor are best known for their prowess in battle. Their early recorded history traces back to Caelshara (p. 188), where their first Patriarch, Gaelin, ruled with an iron fist. He built the locals into a fearsome fighting force and used his influence to build the immense stone fort that stands to this day.
The Fensalor unified with the other Founding Ranelles grudgingly and have always been staunch defenders of their own rights and gerryth, focusing on their own needs before that of the Gwydenro as a whole. Perhaps due to this inward focus, the Fensalor lost the least during the Scourge and today have more sworn gerryth than any other ranelle.
After reclaiming their lands, the Fensalor have focused on rebuilding their infrastructure. While they respect the power of the consortis of Sereatha, the Fensalor prefer to keep their most promising members away from the capital. As such, Leja (p. 183) has comparatively little sway in Fensalor lands and her opinion is held in the same regard as any one of the Patriarch’s vassals.
The Fensalor military and the Knights of the Crimson Spire (p. 193) often have common cause and many ambitious young Fensalor join the organization to gain a reputation. Upon transitioning out of the Path of Warriors, many Fensalor leave the Knights to undertake their next challenge. While the Knights protect the Gwydenro from external threats or natural disaster, Fensalor forces spend most of their time enforcing peace between loyal gerryth and building public works. The Fensalor have formed a profitable trade alliance with Thera and do a brisk business from their seat, Caelshara. Thera’s cultural influence can be seen in the dress and behavior of many of the family’s younger nobles, a trend that has not gone unnoticed in Sereatha’s court.
家主伊萨姆·芬萨罗（Itham Fensalor）
伊萨姆成年时，凯尔萨拉正逐步陷入孤立。伊萨姆的兄长在那混乱的年代里遭到惧魔玷污，这激发了这位年轻士兵不惜一切手段保卫格维登罗的决心。伊萨姆在确保人民安全的同时充当了一名可敬的指挥官，并在天灾期间证明了自己是一名有能力的政治家。在他们崭露头角的几十年前，当父亲过世，由他继承下芬萨罗领导者之位时，伊萨姆已过中年。
作为君主之道的追随者，伊萨姆主要以他作为战士和吟游诗人的技能而闻名。就连他的盟友也承认，他在元素或更深层的奥术技艺方面从来没有过特别的天赋。由于年事已高，伊萨姆的大部分职责委派他人履行，他很少离开位于凯尔萨拉要塞的家。

劇透 -   : Patriarch Itham Fensalor
Itham grew into adulthood while Caelshara was going into isolation. Itham’s brother fell to Horror taint during those chaotic times, galvanizing the young soldier’s determination to defend the Gwydenro by any means necessary. Itham acted as an honorable commander while ensuring the safety of his people and proved himself a capable politician during the Scourge. Already elderly when his father passed on he took his position as head of the ranelle a few decades before their emergence.
A follower of the Path of Lords, Itham is primarily renowned for his skill as a Warrior and a Troubadour. Even his allies concede that he was never particularly talented with Elementalism or the deeper mysteries of the arcane arts. Due to his extreme age, Itham delegates most of his duties and rarely travels from his home in the fortress of Caelrasha.

特里斯洛拉雷涅尔

特里斯洛拉发家于仅有的几辆运货车和他们发现划算交易的天赋。从几个流动营地开始，特里斯洛拉商队在格维登罗东北方地区建立了第一个永久定居点。当那个名为沃塞德（Wersedd）的王国仍然存在的时候，特里斯洛拉人已经将注意力从他们古老的家园转移了。
特里斯洛拉第一任家主夏尼娅（Shyonia）在旅行中积累了大量的财富。为了进一步扩大贸易网络，她来到海上，偶遇了奈萨拉·埃斯卡兰纳和盖尔林·芬萨罗。相传她促成了两人之间的和平，并亲自为瑟瑞萨竖立了第一块石碑。

如今，特里斯洛拉控制着格维登罗东部边缘的许多盖里斯。贾斯特拉领导着来自瑟瑞萨的特里斯洛拉家族，并与家族议员密切合作。当她建议她的人民在西方王国和废区寻找机会的同时，她也把目光放在了边界之外。她和前最高理事马尔德温共同努力以建立与索萨拉的联系，并与他们做些得利的生意，直到伊奥林宣布该地区再次分裂。
最高理事伊奥林和特里斯洛拉的领导者之间已经没有感情了，近年来，雷涅尔在尖塔之城的存在也有所减少。许多雷涅尔的亲族正返回自己的故乡盖里斯寻找新的机会。虽然伊奥林已经禁止与索萨拉的精灵做生意，但家族继续与自由连队（Free Companies）注打交道，声称非精灵天生不受任何分裂法令的约束。特里斯洛拉还与艾奥珀斯达成了许多有利可图的交易。然而，德奈拉斯塔斯似乎并不关心这种关系，因为他们最近违反了与特里斯洛拉的合同，拒绝在控制下的杰里斯船厂建造承诺的商船。

劇透 -   : The Trisrora Ranelle
The Trisrora grew from little more than a few carts and their talent for spotting a good deal. Originally operating as several nomadic camps, the Trisrora caravan established its first permanent settlement in the Gwydenro’s northeastern region. While that kingdom, Wersedd, still exists, the Trisrora have shifted their focus from their ancient home.
The family’s first Matriarch, Shyonia, had amassed great wealth during her travels. Wishing to extend her trade network further, she made her way to the sea and encountered Naesala Escalanas and Gaelin Fensalor. According to the legend, she brokered peace between the two and personally set the first flagstone for the city of Sereatha.
Today, the Trisrora command many gerryth on the eastern fringes of the Gwydenro. Jastra leads the family from Sereatha and works closely with her family’s consortis. While she advises her people to look for opportunities throughout the Western Kingdoms and the Wastes, she also sets her sights beyond their borders. She worked hard with former High Steward Maldwyn to establish ties with Shosara and was doing profitable business with them until Iolyn declared the region once again Separated.
There is no love lost between High Steward Iolyn and the Trisrora leadership, and the ranelle’s presence in the City of Spires has decreased over recent years. Many of their kin are returning to their home gerryth to look for new opportunities. While Iolyn has outlawed business with the elves of Shosara, the family continues to deal with the Free Companies (p. 240), claiming non-elves are, by nature, exempt from any decree of Separation. The Trisrora have also made many profitable deals with the people of Iopos. The Denairastas seem to care little for this relationship, however, as they recently broke a contract with the Trisrora, refusing to build the promised merchant ships in their Jerris shipyards.
家主贾斯特拉·特里斯洛拉（Jastera Trisrora）
现任家主贾斯特拉很年轻，又是格维登罗最富有的授名者之一。她从不吝啬于炫耀她的财富，用尖塔之城能提供的最好的服装和珠宝来装点自己。她十分慷慨，常常捐助探求者，还为迪昂王国的下层人民举办每年一次的盛宴。这些行为是为了维护她和她家族的形象，贾斯特拉也并不关心她的钱具体如何被用来帮助他人。她的关注点在于尽力扩大家族的贸易投资组合，也在雄心之塔花费了很多时间。
贾斯特拉频繁地投资于有前途的商人，也经常在什么是“可接受的”商业伙伴这一问题上与最高理事伊奥林发生冲突。目前她正走在旅者之道上，是一名小有造诣的吟游诗人。

劇透 -   : Matriarch Jastra Trisrora
The current Matriarch of the Trisrora is young, and one of the wealthiest Namegivers in the Gwydenro. She is not shy about showing off her wealth, adorning herself in the finest garments and jewelry the City of Spires has to offer. She is charitable, giving frequent donations to questors and holding an annual feast for the downtrodden in the lower kingdom of Dion (p. 172). These actions serve to protect her image and that of her family, and Jastra cares little for the details of how her money is used to help others. Her primary focus is working to expand her family’s trade portfolio and she spends much of her time in the Spire of Ambition (p. 179).
She frequently invests in up-and-coming tradesmen and often clashes with High Steward Iolyn over what constitutes an ‘acceptable’ business partner. She is currently on the Path of Travelers, and a moderately accomplished Troubadour.
