House Gellor
The Royal House of the County of Urnst, the House of Gellor was headed by the Countess Belissica. During her tenure, the House of Gellor has survived continuing attempts to unseat it and many attempts to take advantage of the young lady on the throne. The House itself is predominantly Oeridian heritage from Aerdi and Nyrondal occupations and is now dwindling in number, and is currently largely comprised of distant cousins. The House is somewhat cursed by its lack of children and the Countess' reluctance to marry has contributed to this problem.
The Duke of Urnst has long tried to make a match between his sons and the Countess to solidify the bonds of blood, thus eventually reuniting the two kingdoms. Most who hold blood of this House hold it in dilution and no uncontestable lineage is known to exist. Without a change of some kind, it is likely there will be a dynastic change in the County upon the Countesses' passing. Though some hold that the Duke will press his suit for the throne, few believe his claim to be strong enough to hold sway.
Following the death of Countess Belissica, Contessa Elone took command of the family. After the death of the Contessa, the reigns of the family passed to Agnard Gellor, Archbaron of Fennelmore.
House Gellor's cadet branch, House Hershold have always maintained close ties.
This house lost ground after Iuz decimated the Gellor-controlled Duchy of the Artonsamay, in the Bandit Kingdoms, just north of the Charn castles.
With the coronation of Countess Rachel power shifted out of the hands of the Gellor to the Duncombe family.
