House Kahar, which has produced a line of Emperors for more than six centuries, is the most revered of the Noble Houses. Kahars have a well-earned reputation for practicality, strategic thinking and a warrior spirit.
However, as blessed as House Kahar has been to lead the realm all this time, the males of the line are afflicted by a curse that started with Emperor Talus Kahar I, whose blood was tainted by the poison of a Wildling during the first war. As a result, all men in the Kahar line suffer from some kind of physical or mental defect at birth. These defects range from disfigurement to retardation. However, no Kahar males to date have been born bearing the Shadow's Touch.
House Kahar's coat of arms is, "A golden wildcat on azure, beneath golden chief with the Emperor's Crown."
