houses Record
- Affiliation: The Kingdom of Valentia (Northern Administrative District).
- Seat: Glacisse Estate / Mirrorlake Town.
- Role: Master Artisans / Regional Trade Power.
- Sigil: A silver swan gliding over icy water.
- Motto: "Grace in Reflection."
- Description: A respected northern family known for bridging the gap between heavy industry and delicate artistry. Unlike the agricultural lords of the South, House Glacisse built its influence on manufacturing—specifically, high-quality glass and arcane crystal.
- Philosophy: "Clarity is earned, not assumed." The house values precision, transparency, and the maintenance of standards that survive the harsh northern winters. They are culturally distinct from the "High Nobility" of Goldmere, viewing themselves as craftsmen first and aristocrats second.
- The Estate: Their ancestral home is a fortress of heavy northern stone softened by intricate, expansive windows—a physical manifestation of their trade. It overlooks Mirrorlake, where the sand and water for their kilns are sourced.
- Key Figures:
- Aldren Glacisse: The current head of the house. A pragmatic merchant who values balanced ledgers and structural integrity over courtly politics.
- Mireille Glacisse: The matriarch, of Elven descent. Her influence has introduced a subtle, enduring patience to the family’s craftsmanship.
- Lucien Glacisse: The heir, currently serving the Crown as a Circuit Mediator. He carries the family’s sigil on his ring and its philosophy in his work, applying the artisan’s demand for clarity to the messy business of human conflict.
