Lord-Protectors of Quel'Anaris

A strict order of Knighthood, the Lord-Protectors of Quel'Anaris are loyal only to the current Queldrastor, and their family. The Lord-Protectors are composed purely of male elven people, be it Quel'dorei, Sin'dorei or a Half-Elf. Generally, membership is open to those with magical ability, and those without it. However, there have been no record instances, as of yet, of any Lord-Protector bearing signature to the Lights grace.

Founded originally in the -4,600 of the Ember Calendar by Arzalen Embershield, the original purpose was the protection of his daughter, Malash Embershield. However, there was a secondary purpose, to wed her to a Elven Lord under his rule. Even after such a long period of time, the practice remained under Lothin Embershield, who had four daughters; Ceanne, D'torina, Telriah and Aerelleth. Each received a Lord-Protector to serve as a personal guard, although in certain cases, did not wed them. To this day, there are only two who have left the line of Lord-Protectors alive, and not dead in service to their sovereign; Solarith Dawnspear, the father of Lyestra Dawnspear and Telriah Embershield the Seconds grandfather, as well as Transith Dawnspear, Solariths bastard child.
