The founding of House Hartwell is relatively recent, but Earlwin’s expertise in breeding and training warhorses within Caldorn has been a lifelong pursuit, passed down from his father. His unwavering dedication ensures that House Cal’s cavalry remains unmatched in the region.

Together, they have several children who are actively involved in the family business, learning the trade and ensuring the legacy of House Hartwell continues.
