House Iatar

House Iatar is one of the six Sworn Houses to the Appanage of Mar. Holding Baron rank, its fief lies in the far south of the appanage, taking up the southern half of the Vale of Kuira and bordering the Duchy of Korhome.

History
Along with House Daudu, Iatar was also founded as a direct result of the Eastern Expedition of Prince Tamus. The founder of the house, Baseg of Iatar, was a gate-guest in the household of Prince Tamus, and after the decisive defeat of his forces in the Battle of the Sullied Stream it was Baseg who, wielding a sword in each hand, slew several enemies and carried the Prince to safety.

In return for this service, and in order to punish the large and unruly House Ahun which had refused to provide troops for the campaign, the southern area of the Vale of Kuira - which contains much of its best farmland - was gifted to House Iatar.

This gifting has in turn bred a lasting enmity between the two houses of the south.

Description
The Iatar so far have been a relatively quiescent force, their interactions with the Palace hampered by distance and the presence of House Ahun to their north, and Korhome to their south. They are known, currently, for being a pretty large family.

Interaction
Adrian has not had many interactions with the nobles of House Iatar so far.
