House Philosir (pronounced fee-low-SEER) is a Tirionite noble family and dynasty, once the rulers of the nation when it was a kingdom. The family took control of the eastern Chaskan nation in Y8623^* after leading an uprising against Sikarbaal Antar, the monarch at the time. They lost the throne in Y8722^* under similar circumstances, but later briefly regained it once again between Y8862^* and Y8895^*.

During their time in power, monarchs from House Philosir attracted reputations as military-minded expansionists. They remained popular as long as their expeditions were successful, especially those against the gnolls of the western Taizzan Expanse and the Khapesh-affiliated city-states to the south, but opinions both amongst the common people and the nobility of the kingdom soured after several generations of Philosir rule brought only losses of territory.

After the formation of the republic of Tamkaranu in Y9360^*, all known members of former ruling dynasties were exiled from the nation, House Philosir amongst them. Most of the Philosir left for Hellea, primarily joining the estates of wealthy families of the Halakran League. Though the family had never made serious efforts at regaining the throne after losing it for a second time in Y8895^*, their exile brought new ambitions. Several small invasions were attempted by the Philosir with aims of regaining control of parts of the new republic, all ultimately failing as they retreated back to Hellea. In the modern day, house head Ersa Philosir continues to style herself as the rightful queen of Tirione, but even within the family it is acknowledged that this is mere posturing.
