Dialogue

"The structure of the Kurzick noble houses can be intimidating to an outsider. However it is the most important part of Kurzick society. What house you are born into effects everything. It is my duty to keep records of all the houses for public knowledge."

⇒ Tell me of House zu Heltzer.

"Members of House zu Heltzer are the leaders of the Kurzicks. Since the Jade Wind passed over the forest two hundred years ago, the zu Heltzers have lead a renaissance of thought, magic, and art. They are the greatest builders and inventors, enchanting the stone itself with magical wards and protections. Their house motto is 'The mind conquers all.' Their patron god is Dwayna."
