Ione-Lodriboerg

House Ione-Lodriboerg is technically the second oldest house of Thaum after the house of vis Steiram, if one counts the original house of Lodriboerg before the merger with house Ionein the 400's AF. The two baronic houses of Lodriboerg and Ione, the two smallest and weakest baron families at the time, merged their houses by marriage to produce a stronger noble house. This was sanctioned by the duke at the time.

Both the barony and the house take their names from the massive ancient castle of Lodri that still houses the residence of the baron and his family, though in modern buildings within the castle grounds. It is believed that Lodri castle, at least the oldest occurrences of it, predates the city of Thaum by centuries. Indeed, the current castle ruins are by themselves as old as the Empire.
