Founder: Shalom
Brief History: Iarran-Dúil came after a time of war.
The First Court War had been bloodied, and a woman
named Shalom sought to escape the violence and hatred
and pain of the world. For she was a woman of light
and purity, and sought to bring together others like
her, which wished to follow a path of innocence.
Iarran-Dúil was formed during the Retaliation. Shalom
drew magic and powers from the angels who had always
been her companions. And when she passed along, her
daughter, Teagan took up the mantle of Leadership,
keeping the House stable and strong.
Headquarters: Iarran-Dúil does not have an internal
meeting place, for they prefer more than anything to
be out in contact with the air itself. They gather at
Teach duinn Ainglean (House of Angels), a small castle
in the North Side of AMA. It is a rustic, celtic
styled castle, a safe have to all Iarran-Duils.
However the meeting place is on the roof of the
castle, where they can feel at peace with the wind and
the air currents, and where they can take to the sky
in flight at a moment's notice.
