The Hathna (pronounced HATH-nah) are an elven tribe, one of the Great Houses of Talmithe. As they view performing any type of labor themselves to be distasteful, the Hathna extensively employ servants, both mundane and conjured, to maintain the coastal retreats in which they live.
History
Of the current four Talmithen Great Houses, the Hathna are the most recently formed. The tribe split from the Thevrumines around Y8500* over disagreements regarding their responsibilities towards their subject peoples and other elven tribes. While most of the Thevrumines held that they were responsible for the defense of all Talmithens, a stance the tribe broadly maintains to the current day, the families that would become the Hathna instead believed their obligations stopped at those who paid them tribute and fealty. Though this split was mostly amicable, relations between the two Great Houses are commonly strained over what the Thevrumines view as the Hathna's shortsightedness, and the Hathna view as the unnecessary risk-taking of the Thevrumines.
Location
The Hathna almost entirely live on the island of Larthial, in the Tabaha Bay off the coast of mainland Talmithe. There they live in settlements along the shores, or in some cases out in the water, maintaining a distance from the communities of the subjects in the interior. Some Hathna remain on the southern coast of Talmithe as well, primarily to the east of Ortess.
The stilt-palaces of Cahinias is usually considered to be the capital of the Hathna, though it has no official status as such, as most Hathnan athumi congregate there to convene their regular councils.
