House Tethras was a dwarven noble house which was exiled from Orzammar in 8:98 Blessed.[1][2]
Background
House Tethras initially started as House Garen, whose founding predated the Blights and produced dozens of kings. Paragon Orrick Garen was the King of Orzammar in the early Exalted Age as well as the only dwarf to have been made Paragon during his reign. His son, Tethras, was exiled into the Deep Roads for murdering his sister Unaria. When it was eventually found that the Carta had been responsible, Garen was overcome with guilt and started sending numerous units of the Legion of the Dead in search of his son.[3] Despite a decade of searching, Paragon Garen was unsuccessful and as a tribute to his son, he changed his name and the house's name from Garen to Tethras.[4]
This is however dispute by Varric Tethras who says that the heirs of House Garen took the name Tethras after him and eventually one of them became a Paragon on his own right and founded the noble House Tethras.[5]
The house has repeatedly risen to prominence as three of its members have held the office of the Steward of the Assembly. However in the second year of the reign of King Endrin Aeducan, Lord Andvar Tethras was found to be fixing Proving fights, a very serious crime considering the sacred nature of this institution. For his blasphemy Andvar was exiled to the surface along with the rest of his house, as well as the warriors sworn to the Tethras clan and the smiths, artisans and servants who received the patronage of this noble house. In total, hundreds of people were exiled for the crime of one man.
Since then the members of House Tethras are surface dwarves and part of the prestigious Dwarven Merchants' Guild. In 9:31 Dragon, the house funded the rescue mission of Jerrik Dace and the Warden-Commander to the Amgarrak Thaig.[6] Furthermore, by that date, Bartrand Tethras is the new head of the house.
