House Burlondin is the first and only official gnomish merchant house recognized by the Honorable Chamber in the Duchy of Urnst. It is relatively young and poor, and as underdogs, they strive to support gnomish communities while competing against the predominantly human merchant houses of the Duchy. Their close collaboration with gnomish craftsmen gives them a competitive edge. Their house colors are silver, green, black, and yellow.[1][2]
Duke Karll Lorinar award House Burlondin the rights to Storaven and its environs to settle a dispute between House Szabo and House Meissel in 595 CY.[3]
They declared for White Harts in 596 CY and believe Lord Jolen Lorinar, the Duke's son, should have been Regent after Duke Karll's disappearance in 595 CY.[4]
House Burlondin, as a merchant house, was destroyed when all their key leaders were murdered in Leukish in 598 CY.[5]
