The Triunes of Lambreth was the ruling council of the River Kingdom of Lambreth from its founding in 4502 AR until the rise of the despotic Lord Kamdyn Arnefax in 4675 AR.

History

Lambreth was formed in 4502 AR from the union of the three important merchant families in the area: the Cullertons, the Angelidis, and the Vizcarras, who founded the tiny city-states of Maashinelle, Lockridge, and Sezgin, respectively. The union was the result of 10 years of delicate negotiations between the three families and was proposed by Leeoda Cullerton. It gathered all of the isolated villages between the West Sellen River and the Tolemaida River to the east.

When Lambreth was threatened by imminent invasion from neighbouring Razmiran in 4675 AR, the Triunes offered the lordship of the realm to Kamdyn Arnefax in desperation. The Triunes believed Arnefax would either die in the attempt or be easily murdered and disposed of should he succeed.

Arnefax assembled an unlikely army of his household guards, Lambreth soldiers, refugees, and shadowy and infernal creatures, and launched a sneak attack on Razmiri forces on 26 Calistril, 4675 AR. His troops slaughtered the Razmiri cultists as they slept in a victory that became known as the Moonlight Massacre.

When Tandre Cullerton suggested a delay in recognising Arnefax's lordship, the victorious general killed him and his wife, and exiled the entire Cullerton family. Fearing the same fate, the Angelidis and Vizcarras fell in line behind Arnefax and effectively dissolved the Triunes.
