House of the Steel Dove (group)

One of the clans of the Elothean nation.

This is the most militant of the Houses, producing the finest Barbarians and Paladins of the Eloths. Mostly patriarchal, the Steel Dove have flint gray eyes and brown hair, occasionally producing a blazing red and a smattering of black-haired children. Entrance requires an oath of blood, whereupon the initiate must cut his or her arm without flinching and swear to protect the clan second, and the Eloth nation first. The House of the Steel Dove is from whence the guards of the Ferdahl are chosen. If a member ever shows cowardice or fails to act when justice is required swiftly and surely, he or she can be thrown out of the House upon a vote of the House's Elders. They may never be allowed back in.
