House Aeducan

House Aeducan is currently one of the leading and most powerful dwarven noble houses. Nine kings have risen up from its ranks, while many of whom have been recently crowned and thus maintained the whole house into royalty.[note]

History
As with all dwarven houses, House Aeducan came into being when its founding member was made a Paragon. Aeducan was made a Paragon for leading the dwarven armies against the darkspawn during the First Blight.

It is tradition for a new house to found a new thaig, or settlement, in the Deep Roads. Aeducan Thaig was close to Orzammar and was one of the last to be lost to the darkspawn. It has recently been rediscovered by the Aeducan family.

Known members

Originally born to the Warrior Caste, he was made a Paragon for taking command of the armies of Orzammar and defending the city from the First Blight while the Assembly and Warrior Caste were paralyzed by interhouse feuds. He is the only Paragon in history whom the Assembly unanimously voted to raise up, with only a single abstention. The middle child of King Endrin Aeducan can find his shield in the Thaig Chamber of the Aeducan Thaig.
