*'''Hinoko''' - Admiral Hinoko seems me the strong backbone of this whole family after Taric's death, I have served with her and I trust her as an Admiral, a relative and a friend. If she would give me orders I would follow. I fear she is too honest a good woman for politics though.

*'''Grolush''' - I have not seen much of the man, Lord Taric and he had quite the split, something my father seems to have been pained by. He seems to avoid social life in general, but he runs the estate and the prefecture as a tight ship, which I respect, and he does have a hand with those beasts of his. My father trusts him, that's good enough for me.
+
*'''Grolush''' - I have never gotten a good grip on this man, he seems grumpy and unsociable and I'm amased he could've earend all the treasure he has. There is something behind him that smells bad... and it is not the griffin shit in his stables.
  
 
*'''Sikandi''' - Sikandi is... an amazing woman. Her skill as a satrap is undoubtedly one of the best in the Realm, and to think she was once a wild adventurer like me! I must seem a fool to her when I constantly ask her of her adventures and if it is one person I must measure up to it is her.

*'''Onais''' - The father I never had, without him I would never have been accepted so readily into the house and the Realm in its entirity. I know that he is hiding things from me though... So many thinks and so heavy things. Honestly, I don't want to know.

*'''Medoina''' - Ah, sweet Medoina, she may not have the looks, but she does make up for it in brains. Her work is solid and stout as her element and she has the patience I lack to construct things from the bottom up.
+
*'''Medoina''' - to come

Three days later I arrived at the capital of the satrapy, marching up to the main square in my machine I found the largest and most splendid house at it and called out that I wished to see the satrap. I guess I was a bit foolish, as this would no doubt have looked quite hostile, but luckily the satrap was of the honorable kind, who faced me there and then instead of attacking outright. As soon as s/he showed up I made the metal beast kneel and announced that I was there to proclaim my loyalty to the realm.

===Allies and Direct Family===
 
 
*'''Peleps Taric Nimida''': Water Caste; Korel's wife and daughter of Sikandi. The two met as they both served under Admiral Hinoko and found interest in each other and started a relationship. Since Nimida had no bethroted as her planned marriage to a man of Cathak had fallen through it was not long before the two were engaged and married. It was not until this point that Nimida realised that Korel did not truly love her as she loved him. He liked her, yes, very much so, but he did not love her. This realisation became even stronger when Korel further found himself attracted to her own estranged mother. Still, the two has had a functional marriage, which is as good as any dynast can hope, and have produced a small number of children. While she is a naval officer she no longer has a command and instead work on land in administrative duties.
 
 
*'''Desert Falcon''': Wood Caste; Desert Falcon is a Lost Egg from Chiaroscuro. Born into a lower Delzhan nobility family he took the coin after he exalted, choosing to go and serve the Realm instead of staying in the Delzhan Empire. Despite this choice Falcon has kept strong to his roots, not fully absorbing the culture of the Dynasty and letting go of the Delzhan. This is most notable in the fact that he had chosen to take the grey three years befor he exalted and become Dereth. That is, he was born as a woman but is under Delzhan law and custom considered to be a man.  He still dresses rather traditionally, carrying a veil nearly at all times, although his clothes are often made to incorporate elements of the latest Realm fashion. Like most of Korel's friends they met through the Imperial Army after Korel had mistakenly called him a woman. While a full-out duel would not have been accepted at the time Korel proposed a race between the two the next morning, choosing whatever steed they wanted and had access to. Falcon considered the race won as he was a skilled horseman since birth and had recently aquire a new fresh steed. The next morning he was somewhat surprised to see a towering giant standing on the starting line with Korel firmly assuring that Huntress of Red Resplendent Air would be considered a steed. The two have been friends since and shortly after he joined Korel as a warstrider pilot. Specialises in Archery and pilots the Scout warstrider.
 
 
*'''Ragara Soras Ronimon''': Air Caste; Born of household Soras it was pretty much inevitable that the paths of Ronimon and Korel would eventually cross paths. At a young age he found an interest in the first age artifacts that his family traded in and was of such good skill that Korel had sent for his help when he was in the process of restoring several artifacts from a lost cache. As thanks for his help Korel sold a few of the artifacts through the Soras household and after he had kept three warstriders for himself he invited Ronimon to be one of his pilots. Being of rather low rank within his household he accepted and is looking to marry into household Taric.
 
 
*'''Thunderhead of Burning Waters''': Water Caste; Lost Egg from Phumurgun, exalted by the age of 20, already being a champion fistfighter in her home. Not very learned in the ways of the Realm she chose the razor at her induction to the Realm to become an immaculate martial artist. This choice was based more or less solely on the fact that she knew that immaculate monks were powerful unarmed fighters and that a monk had been the only person to defeat her to that day. Her stay among the immaculates was not particularly long, even though she tried, but she was thrown out after she had been found in a temple together with four empty caskets of strong ''livsvatten'' from her home and two village boys and one girl. Thunderhead was shunted over to the legions who only barely managed to instill the headstrong woman a sense of discipline before Korel approched the general of her legion offering to take her off his hands. She specialises in martial arts and have considered creating her own terrestial style focused around the use of martial arts in warstrider combat.
 
 
*'''[INSERT EXALTED DAUGHTER]''': Firstborn of Taric and Nimida, dead.
 
*'''[INSERT UNEXALTED SON]''': Now near 40 years of age, works in his father's weaponry workshop.
 
*'''[INSERT NOT-YETEXALTED SON]''': 12 years old, studies at prestigious northern Primary School.
