House Morn
House Morn derives authority from keeping nursery trees for settlements the cold has erased.
A family in the present
House Morn derives authority from keeping nursery trees for settlements the cold has erased. Its regency was meant to end when those settlements returned. After generations of postponement, the family has become indistinguishable from a dynasty, while its best members insist the original promise still matters.
Eight voices
Aster Morn — former regent. Odel Morn — nursery registrar. Tavia Morn — regent of alceria. Iven Morn — rootspeaker. Leth Morn — nursery architect. Avel Morn — public memory advocate. Corin Morn — seed courier. Sereva Morn — memorial carver.
The family is shown as three generations. Birth years use the Hearth Reckoning; the present year is 684. Marriage joins households without erasing the married partner’s earlier life.
Sereva carves names in living bark using shallow cuts designed to heal visibly.
Avel campaigns for the Thorn testimony to be heard outside the court.
Corin carries dormant seedlings between shelters and writes the weather on the wrapping cloth.
Odel knows every promised planting plot and the descendants of the households meant to receive it.
Care for imperfect living memory
Leth designs shared glass courtyards that can be repaired without rare materials.
