House Coralline
House Coralline is an old noble bloodline of Crystalport whose status is tied to the sea’s mysteries and to ancient pacts maintained in the wake of the Beacon’s founding. Rumours of Sea-Fae favor follow them; their detractors call them “tidebound,” while their friends say they simply respect the Moonlit ocean more than most.
Overview
The Corallines present themselves as patrons of coastal ritual, sea gardens, and the careful stewardship of tide-touched sites. They are often seen at ceremonies linked to the Beacon of Crystalport and maintain cordial relationships with the Lantern Keepers, without claiming authority over them.
Influence
- Ritual patronage — Funding and hosting seasonal observances tied to the sea, Ariana, and the Moonworld’s resonance.
- Pearl and reef rights — Long-held charters connected to bioluminescent pearl dives and coral craft supply.
- Diplomacy with Fae-touched communities — Soft influence in places and circles where Fae presence is normalized.
Key family members
- Lady Isyra Coralline — A refined patron of tide gardens; rumored to hear “song” in certain storms.
- Sir Oren Coralline — A duelist and ship-captain who treats hospitality and oaths as sacred.
Assets and holdings
- Coralline Tidehouse — An estate in The Cliffs with terraces of salt-resistant glowing flora.
- Reef-charter holdings — Permits and rights for divers, pearl merchants, and coral artisans.
Controversies
The Corallines’ proximity to sea-pacts makes other nobles suspicious in times of crisis. They are occasionally accused of “knowing storms before they come,” a claim they neither confirm nor deny.
