Illance

House Illance was a noble house of Cormyr based in Suzail.

Holdings
Although the family was based in Suzail it had deep roots in Marsember and owned many properties through a complicated web of small companies bearing the names of others. The family owned a palatial home in Marsember known as "Iyrinthorn", and a summer house at Stag Well.

Reputation
The family's menfolk were notorious womanizers and were frequent patrons of Mask Dancing clubs. The family was involved in some illicit dealings, and persistent local rumors of ongoing slaving operations using their Marsembian based vessels and warehouses plagued the family.

The House was an enemy of the House Cormaeril.

History
Some members of the family plotted with Luthax against King Draxius in 629 DR and several unnamed members fought with King Galaghard III against the Witch-Lords in 900 DR. House Illance was among those who fought with Arangor and Azoun II against the dragon Thauglor in 1018 DR. One of its houses in Suzail was destroyed during a red dragon attack in 1018 DR. House Illance slowly lost influence at the Royal Court over generations, and weak family leaders poorly managed and invested the family fortune, but the family was never in ruin. By 1479 DR the family's fortunes had improved through deals with the Seven Suns Trading Company.
