House Vollney is a minor noble house of Orzammar.
Background[]
The House was founded within the last 500 years.[2] Despite its low position within the Noble caste, House Vollney is still represented in the Assembly by a deshyr because it was founded by a Paragon.
Known members[]
- Paragon Vollney – known for being elected to Paragon status by the narrowest margin in the history of the dwarves; his ascension however has been tainted by allegations of corruption as the single vote that carried the motion to make him a Paragon was rumored to be influenced by intimidation, intrigue and outright bribery—all of the events that unfolded were recorded in the Memories[3]
- Lord Vollney[note] – on the eve of the Fifth Blight, he makes a 100 illegal bet that Everd Bera will defeat Mainar during a Proving; he used Beraht, the boss of the Carta at that time, to fix the match in Everd's favor[4]
- Lord Darvianak Vollney – he is a four-time Grand Proving champion, having fought to clear his name which was implicated in his brother's murder
- Lord Sardirak Vollney – the deshyr of House Vollney in 9:41 Dragon; he sends a letter to Lord Vollney informing him of the balance of power in the Assembly in regards to Bianca Davri's nomination for Paragon[1]
- Bruntin Vollney – a low ranked member of House Vollney who intended to kill Scholar Gertek for writing a book on Paragon Vollney—which he believed was based on slander and hearsay
- Randar Vollney – Oghren mentions that he fought his second in a Proving match after having fifteen lichen-ales[5]
- Varlan Vollney – for reasons unknown, he joins the Legion of the Dead and becomes a close friend of Sigrun; he dies during the Legion's assault on Kal'Hirol in 9:31 Dragon;[6] Sigrun takes his gold ring (with the crest of House Vollney on it) and keeps it as a reminder of her lost friend[7]
Notes[]
- The unnamed "Lord Vollney" may potentially be Lord Darvianak Vollney, there however is no additional or clarifying information to confirm this.
Trivia[]
- According to Gorim, if Bruntin eventually kills Gertek, major noble Houses that had Gertek's patronage like House Meino will crush House Vollney.
