			* '''Quiet Breeze''' - Quiet Breeze earned his name, not for a trait he actually possessed, but rather as a gentle reminder that he had a tendency to talk entirely too much even when he should be silently meditating. A mortal of common birth, he was the youngest son of a tanner in a small town on the Blessed Isle. Joining the Order was more a matter of pragmatism than faith -- he didn't stand to inherit the family business, and his father had all the help he needed in his older brothers, so he was an extra mouth to feed. He'd always loved the stories that the monks told when they taught the children at the temple, so joining the Order seemed as good a route as any. Always bright, he proved to have a gift for thaumaturgy, particularly warding. His teacher at the Palace Sublime felt that he might best put his skills to use by spending some time as an itinerant before settling down to temple life, and asked Alaric to take the young man under his wing.

	*'''Aisha''' - Ah, my little Aisha. Even if duty did not bind me to stay and fight for the place of our household now that Taric is gone, I would do so for no better reason that because she needed my help. She is the daughter that I could never have, and I would not abandon her in a time of need. The rage that burns so fiercely in her heart troubles me greatly; were it possible I would quench it with my own life's blood rather than see it consume her.		*'''Aisha''' - Ah, my little Aisha.

	*'''Hinoko''' - I count myself privileged to have spent an all too brief time serving under her. I hope more of my brothers and sisters in the Order will take up the call to spend time serving as chaplains to the Navy; not only may they serve the seamen of the Realm, but they may carry the light of the Faith with them to to peoples at every port of call who might not otherwise see a Monk in their lifetimes. It speaks well of her style of command and of how she trains her officers when the men were not more than a little surprised to see one of the Chosen of the Dragons swabbing the decks alongside them. If truth be told, it can be a little unnerving how very much like my brother she is, but too it gives me hope for the future of our household.		*'''Hinoko''' - I count myself privileged to have spent an all too brief time serving under her.

	*'''Grolush''' - I am not blind to his being more than just a trader of exotic creatures, but he has never given me cause to look too deeply into his affairs. There are difficulties everywhere that always seem more pressing to deal with...or is that just an excuse so that I might continue to avoid a truth I do not wish to see? It is troubling.		*'''Grolush''' - Pending

	*'''Taen''' - He is me, as I would have been but for the grace of the Dragons. He wears his stubborn pride and self-indulgence as a massive boulder locked about his own neck, and it threatens to drag him down to the depths from which we return only in our next life. Though the river may carry away even the greatest of mountains, given time, I fear that he cannot wait so long. I only pray I have the strength to keep him from drowning, as Taric once did for me, long enough that he might open his eyes and see that he still holds the key to that lock if he will but use it.		*'''Taen''' - He is me, as I would have been but for the grace of the Dragons.

If he has not climbed higher in the Thousand Scales, it is lack of interest in doing so rather than lack of ability.

Back then, I could actually teach her a little of the proper placement of flowers, stones, and water. She has far surpassed her old teacher now, though she still humors an old man by helping him with the gardening on occasion.		*'''Medoina''' - I remember when I would visit home when she was a child; she used to love helping me tend to the gardens.

	# '''Why are you devoted to keeping this sub-House alive against all odds?''' Guilt, more than anything, drives Alaric to strive to keep the household alive. He was, ultimately, a failure to House Peleps -- first from his own arrogance, which resulted in the death of his younger sister, and second by joining the Immaculate Order against his parents' wishes, thus derailing a number of well-made plans. Keeping household Taric alive is one more way he feels he can atone for the sins of his youth.		# '''Why are you devoted to keeping this sub-House alive against all odds?'''
