History: The Mark of Storm appeared 2000 years ago on two half-elves, Lyran and Selavash. The children of these two, the Lyran'dar, became their own House. In 347 YK, House Lyrandar took possession of Stormhome, unusual for a House, since they are generally not supposed to own property. House Lyrandar used their connection to the elements to create elemental galleons with the gnomes of Zilargo. By The Last War, elemental galleons became extremely useful in trade between nations and travel to other continents. During The Last War, Lyrandar agreed to make mild changes to weather, for a price, in order to grow crops, but they refused to harm armies. Stormhome became a neutral meeting place for spies and ambassadors and they began making stormships (elemental galleon battleships). In 990 YK, the gnomes of Zilargo and House Lyrandar combined to produce elemental airships.
