House Car’Damon

Speserij

House Car'damon has a rich and storied history dating back to the period shortly after the Cataclysm. They were originally a small, resilient group of farmers who discovered the lucrative potential of the cardamom plant growing in the higher altitudes of their territory. Over generations, they perfected the cultivation and processing of cardamom, turning it into a highly sought-after spice and elevating their status among the merchant houses of the Speserij. The cardamom fields are located at high altitudes, where the cooler climate and rich soil produce the finest quality spice. The house employs advanced farming techniques to maximize yield and ensure sustainability.


While the ancestral seat of power for house Car'Damon is the fortress city of Mysorr, the capital city of the region is Elettaria.
