Clan Kage was founded by Illharess Kilhara Kage. Her people were being attacked by many enemies on the
surface of Nihon, so she led them on an epic trek.

Beset by enemies and wild creatures she led them to the Dark Valley with a cavern entrance to the neardark.
They struggled to stay alive losing many to the dangers of the darkness. This seemed to spell the end of the
Clan. At this darkest of moments the Illharess made contact with the Greater Shadow Oni. What occurred is
not recorded but the elite of the Clan were gifted abilities by the Greater Shadow Oni that enabled them to
protect the Clan against the dangers.

Recent History

Following the death of her mother and as the only surviving daughter Momosan Kage became Illharess.
In her early days as a ruler a foxkin Shit-Tzu was adopted into the clan. A few years later after his death
what is now named Kage Kitsune, a blending of foxkin of his family and kitsune, became allied with Clan
Kage.

During her rule Illharess Momosan Kage committed the Clan to re-embracing the shadows and become a
strong part of the Tarantula Nation.

The Clan became an active part of the Tarantulas Nation and started visiting the surface lands
Several members achieved Tarantula positions of high stature. High Ambassador, Guild Liaisons, including
Head of Guild Liaisons, Paladin, and General of the Warhost. The Illharess continued to lead and soon rose
to command level of the entire Tarantula Nation.

It was also the wish of Illharess Momosan Kage that a ritual be performed, with the aid people of the Tarantula
Nation to request the return of lost abilities from the Greater Shadow Oni. The ritual occurred in the
year AF1103 while visiting the surface lands of Albion. Of those abilities no more will be spoken, save to
say that the Greater Shadow Oni deemed the elite of the Clan worthy to receive his gift once more.

Moving Shadows

At the Gathering AF1106 Lolth called Illharess Momosan Kage to a great task. She was to help rebuild the
Tarantula Academies. As this was to be her life task she would no longer lead Clan Kage. As the daughter of
Momosan was too young to take charge Illharess Momosan Kage took the extraordinary step of placing her
most trusted male Vekra Kage in charge of the Clan until the daughter comes of age.

Towards the end of 1106 Vekra Kage took unprecented action. Some say he was warned by a higher power.
Others say he merely used information received from advisors. With city under siege form Nihon armies, in
secret and without warning, he evacuated the bulk of the nobles and many of the commoners. He led them
to the lands belonging to the Tarantula Nation. Soon after the evacuation Nihon forces occupied the city.
Unfortunately for them the effects of the cataclysm were soon felt. Water levels rose flooding the land. The
valley and all surrounding land is now below sea level, sealing its fate.

On the way to the lands of the Tarantula Nation refugees and survivors of the cataclysm were found and
were brought into the fold of the Clan. With the aid of these people and under the inspiring leadership of
Vekra Kage, with personal permission from the Valsharess, construction began of the new city.

During this time the Kage-Kitsune curiosity and abilities to mix and make things came to the fore. Large
amounts of potions and weapons were made available to the Tarantula Nation helping to raise further the
standing of the Clan within the Tarantula Nation.

During AF1107 attacks occurred on the Tarantula nation forcing them into a war with the Unicorn faction.
At the Grand Fayre after a peaceful Jugger Ball game the Unicorns launched an attack on the defenceless
Tarantula team killing some. At the Moots the Tarantula faction after initial skirmishes had a honour battle
with members of the Unicorn faction. It was agreed by both sides that no rules were set so inevitably the
Unicorns perished. At the following Gathering five factions launched an unprovoked attack on the camp
slaughtering several Tarantulas including the Qu`ellar Jabbuk.

Fortification of Shadows

Maramou Kage head of the Palace Guard adopted the mantle of Regent. He continued to oversee the task of
construction of the new city Ichi No Kage.

In the early part of AF1108 Kazumi Kage niece of Momosan Kage, who had been missing for years arrived
at the new city and as a Priestess of Lolth soon consolidated her power by becoming High Priestess. Soon
after a smooth transition of power organised by the Regent placed her as head of the Clan. Ruling until the
Momosan Kage`s daughter becomes of age and claims the title of Illharess.

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.

Heraldry

The house can be identified by combined use of the colours deep purple, green and black. Members of the house may be recognized by their unique adaptation of Nihonese garb and weaponry into the traditional

Lineage 

House Micars drow can easily trace their lineage to both Ma’azbiir and Kanchelsis Keltormiir, taking great pride in their pure lineage and will staunchly defend the honour and reputation of both scions of Clan Keltormiir.

Leadership

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"
