Symbol of House Micar
House Micar was once a minor house of the dark elven empire, predominantly focused on trade. During the initial in-fighting between the powerful royal houses in Telantiwar, House Micar possessed neither the political influence nor financial security to become personally embroiled in the growing conflict, and seeing no clear winner in this civil war, decided after being blessed with a vision by Maazibiir to sever their ties with the empire and go into seclusion until some semblance of normalcy had returned to their beloved capital.
While never making much of an impact in the history of the Empire, House Micar were nonetheless proud of their steadfast faith and standard of discipline within their own ranks, and thus were heavily aggrieved to leave their beloved city behind but ultimately trusted in the will of Ma'Azbiir and took to his dominion; The Sea.
Eventually they settled as far away from the chaos as they could get, in the mysterious isles of Nihon. While despising the oppressive and foreign laws of the nation, which were in many ways vastly opposed to their own, House Micar’s Matriarch Il’haress De’shanna Keltormiir worked hard to establish ties and put down roots as quickly as possible.
Over time, the House began to adapt more to the culture, and while still adhering to their own traditions with utmost loyalty, they appreciated and integrated a few mannerisms from their Nihonese neighbours, most notably their resplendent fashion and love of the arts.

Recent History
After many years without contact from the Empire, following the nations of the Heartlands allying with Nihon against the Jade Emperor, House Micar received a summons from the Empress of Nihon, as experts in the Dark Elven Ancestors and descendants of the Heartlands she required their opinions of a number of reports she had had regarding the Heartlands and specifically the nation ruled by Dark Elves called the Tarantulas.
Though the House was initially shocked and confused at the news, Matron Mother Sal’ue approached the matter with much patience, studying the information provided by the Empress’s ministers, the information available was limited but however intriguing indicating that the Dark Elven nation had a small number of alliances with the other nations of the Heartlands.
Of all the reports that were provided, the most intriguing was undoubtedly the rumours that the Empire were now attempting to retake their capital and restore what was lost.
Sal’ue, having been raised on tales of their wonderous former home, called for her family to gather and informed them that after many years in self-inflicted exile, now was the time to return, and finally reunite with the Empire.
To leave Nihon is to never return and is not often permitted, this is well known, however for their sterling service the Empress consented to not only allow House Micar to leave Nihon on peaceful terms, equip them for the difficult passage to the Heartlands but also through her diplomatic channels inform the leadership of the Dark Elven nation of their arrival.
Matron Sale’ue and her most trusted family and advisors were summoned to the Empress palace and partook in the Tea Ceremony of Separation the completion of which signified their departure from Nihon never to return.
Though she and her House remain somewhat sceptical and wary of extending the hand of friendship, remembering what caused them to leave in the first place, they do not intend to sit idly by while Telantiwar is at stake, and will stop at nothing to see their empire restored to its glory.
Currently the house is in negotiations with Il’haress Axia and her retinue to form a unique alliance to better strengthen both sides for their common cause. Il’haress Axia has since "Retired to the underdark"
