House Whong

The House of Whong - also known as Whongling (, meaning "Tondbert-descendants") or Whonghen (, meaning "of Whong") - is one of the most prestigeous noble families in Etrand.

Origins
The name of the noble family - Whong - comes from the Old Etrandish "Hwong", which in turn comes from the Proto-Human "Hwungaz". Hwungaz was a semi-legendary tribal leader from Southern Etrand, who allegedly resisted incorporation into Fathred's Confederation. There is no concrete proof that Hwungaz was even a real person, but regardless, the Whong family claims to be descended from him.
