House of Contoire

The House of Contoire is the ruling dynasty of the Archduchy of Glorinel.

A noble family with the twin heritages of Azurefell and Glorinel, the House of Contoire occupies the thrones of these two realms. Furthermore, Francois (the son of Louis VI) is the marquess by marriage to the Marchioness of Caershire. The Duke of Graif, another independent ruler in High Rock, is also of some Contoire extraction; his mother was Princess Therese of Glorinel.

There are some features that betoken a Contoire: raised cheekbones, silver hair, and sharp ears all attest to Elven stock. There have been members of the family who were born with yellow eyes, indicating further (yet largely dormant in this instance) merish backgrounds. Aside from rather present Elvish blood, it has long been the custom of the Contoires to adopt an almost Aldmeri look. Long hair is common, for example.
