House Summary:
The first of the house was Theoderid Moendivell, a Lance-Captain in service to then Queen Ailaeve of House Naravinde, who bestowed the ranks and dignities of a lord upon him in exchange for service to the Sun Crown, particular valor on the field of war, and if archaic court gossip is to be credited, in the Queen's boudoir. Shortly thereafter the Moendivells became fixed in allegience to House Vanderode, and they have remained fixed thusly for several centuries.
The Moendivells, being lesser lords, were largely spared the wrath visited upon the Vanderodes when their ambitions cast them down low. In time, as Lady Saralleine was able to gather the tatters of her prestige back into some semblance of respectability, she was deemed a suitable chaperone for the young members of the house for the social seasons in Tar Valon. It is also believed that Lady Ellisaene and Lord Rolaen had secret directions from their grandfather to learn all they could while under Saralleine's roof so that they could further use it to their advantage should Vanderode seem ripe for the picking.
