Savren Virren's leadership during the Ashen Tide was instrumental in organizing the city's defense and ultimately defeating Morthallow's undead army. ## Influence Today, House Virren continues to shape the legal and political landscape of Qal'Borden, with its members often serving as advisors to other noble houses and government officials. ## Legacy House Virren has held the position of Grand Justice for six generations, with [[Tehlarissa Virren]] being the current title holder.
