Horthander

The Horthander family had a seat in the Onsruur (council of lords) of Khôltar in south Faerûn, circa the Year of Wild Magic, 1372 DR. It was one of twenty such human families that held the reins controlling the Iron City.

Organization
This clan was typically tall and pleasingly handsome or beautiful. They developed a passion for race horses and spent much of their time breeding and racing them. By 1372 DR, most of the expansive enclosed gardens of the family estate had been converted to stables for their prized animals.

Activities
The Horthanders had many business interests in Khôltar. Their flagship enterprise was the Horthander casting foundry, but they also owned dozens of smaller businesses, mostly repair shops and companies that installed plumbing or did masonry, plastering, or painting. They were heavily invested in land throughout Shaareach and Lapaliiya.

Base of Operations
The family demesne was a boldly styled klathlaaedin (sculpted stone mansion) named Anthormbrur located at the southeastern end of Hael Way very near Farrgaunlar (the southern gate through the walls of Khôltar).

Relationships
This family had a strong dislike for their next-door neighbors, the Khaundroves, as the result of a longstanding rivalry that existed for decades, perhaps centuries.
