Nethenada

The Nethenada are a minor noble house of the Ethuveraz, seated in western Thu-Tetar. They are “noted principally for their centuries-long stewardship of the Nethen Ford, where by a combination of causeways, dredging, and some fortuitously placed islands, they maintained the only reliable crossing of the Tetara for well over fifty miles.” However, as the Tetara belongs to the crown, the Nethenada cannot charge tolls for the river crossing, which has left them impoverished. Its current head is the young Count Pazhis Nethenel.

Lord Berenar says that the Nethenada in general “have always been stupidly loyal.” Indeed, though many nobles of Thu-Tetar (as well as Thu-Athamar) had been dissatisfied with Varenechibel IV's reign and also with the new one of Edrihasivar VII, Nethenel was in conflict with Eshevis Tethimar and was shocked at his attempt to assassinate Maia.
