The Elwin family was once a respected member of the kingdom of Regnael''''s noble class. Lord Wyman Elwin, however, was more fond of gambling and drink than tending to his estates - such a disgrace was he that the crown was forced to step in and seize his estates. In the aftermath Matthias Elwin, Wyman''''s heir and the present Lord Elwin, was left with little more than his title and a small manor house on the periphery of the kingdom.
