Three of Seven-- Saviors of Chiaroscuro
Legendary figures of the Atai-ai and heroes of the Balorian Crusade, the Three of Seven are power figures in the history of the city whose impact is felt to this day...
- Kevah Althune?, Earth Aspect, who drove That Which Dwells Beneath,-- a legendary Behemoth serving the Mask Of Alabaster,-- back into the deepest desert. He bore the Daiklave Sirocco?.
- Xeres Cybella?, Wood Aspect, single-handedly defeated the Mask Of Alabaster-- Raksha Warmaster and Lieutenant of Balor,-- in what is now known as Breakglass. Known "Mother of the Ata'ai."
- Dagos Qun?, Fire Aspect, who rode to the rescue of the City in its final hour, providing the reinforcements that turned the tide at the crucial moment. Whose line was scoured into nothing by the Empress, following the destruction of the Seven Tigers, though some rumors hold that Qun himself somehow survived...
In Present Day Chiaroscuro
- House Kevah which has largely integrated itself into the Realm, serving as a (somewhat distrusted) Cadet House, and who once held some modicum of power in the Imperial Legions.
- Clan Xeres has largely lost the Blood of the Dragon, only producing a handful of Outcastes each generation,-- its current Matriarch, Xeres Serilia?, holds strengthening the families blood as her most sacred duty.
