Relation(son/daughter/father/brother of XX and XX) + profession(ie. king or prince of Qual/Silv) The more important elves like Porthios, Gilthas etc. will do. I haven't read in a long time, and its so confusing. I feel kinda lost here. thx.

#4 quentingeorge Feb 24, 2004 14:50:46	also: Dalamar the Dark - originially of House Servitor in Silvanesti (I believe) Kerian's full name is Kerianesey
#5 frostdawn Feb 24, 2004 15:22:18	And of course, Tanis is the half nephew of Solostaran. (his mother was Solostaran's sister) Samar is another character of note pre and post War of Souls- he is the personal bodyguard of Alhana Starbreeze who secretly loves her. Silvanesti
#6 brimstone Feb 24, 2004 18:04:36	Originally posted by frostdawn And of course, Tanis is the half nephew of Solostaran. (his mother was Solostaran's sister) No, that's not right. Tanis was the son of Solostaran's sister-in-law. So...you could call him a Step-nephew, I guess.

#8 quentingeorge Feb 25, 2004 0:02:17	IIRC Tanis' mother was Elansa, who was married to Solostaran's brother Kethrenan. Tanis father was named Brand.
#9 zombiegleemax Feb 25, 2004 2:52:52	Originally posted by QuentinGeorge also: Kerian's full name is Kerianesey *takes an eraser and edits your spelling...Kerian's full name is Kerianseray
#10 quentingeorge Feb 25, 2004 3:28:53	Ah yes, my bad. Thank you.
#11 zombiegleemax Feb 29, 2004 9:31:02	Originally posted by QuentinGeorge IIRC Tanis' mother was Elansa, who was married to Solostaran's brother Kethrenan. Tanis father was named Brand. If you consider "the inheritence" an accepted version of the story. Looks like we are missing the last brother Arelas. The oldest: Solostaran The older : Kethrenan (many years younger than Solostaran) The younger: Arelas (few years younger than Kethrenan)
#12 Charles_Phipps Feb 29, 2004 14:49:46	I don't particularly like the story being retconned, on the other hand I actually do like the fact that all of Tanis Half-Elves self-loathing is entirely unjustified. His 'poor poor mother' was just an adulteress
#13 iltharanos Feb 29, 2004 23:47:23	Hmm, were Kethrenan and Elansa married? or merely bethrothed? I can't recall.
#14 Charles_Phipps Mar 01, 2004 2:37:02	Otherwise there's no reason for Solostran to take Tanis in. Or are Tanis and Lauranthos Cousins?

If Kethrenan had been tanis' father, they would have been cousins. Hmm, were Kethrenan and Elansa married? or merely bethrothed? I can't recall I don't remember, I'll have to look it up.
