Qhace family

The Qhace family are an ancient tribe from the Coast of Grass. They were made the Lords of Emerald by Ferran the Miner when he captured the western part of region, giving his new country, Ferraria, access to the sea. Around the same time, a cadet branch on the Qhaces, the Qrorces, split away from them and moved further east, to the region of Kinpanec.

The Qhace's have always been fairly independent, the first Qhace lord didn't even bow to King Ferran, preferring to send his fealty by mail. The Qhace's have frequently sided against the crown during civil wars, due to the fact that the Coast of Grass produces much of the country's food, giving them a lot of bargaining power over the crown.

The Qhace's claim to be direct descendants of the first peoples to arrive in Ferraria, before the establishment of the Ferrarain Kingdom.
