Official head of the the family is Galter Dianer, a pampered and weak-willed dandy, who is still unmarried despite being 25 year old. Everyone in the are knows the house is truly controlled by his old mother, Zelata Dianer. She keeps an iron grip on the house and is known to be obsessed over etiquette. Most of the farmlands owned Dianers are run by slaves. Zelata is known to despise freemen and to long for “the good old days” when nobility were absolute despots.

Dianers have good relationship with the Voorment. Zelata is the cousin of the late lord Attelius Voorment and used to visit him weekly. No doubt she is witholding Galter for a marriage in to the House Voorment, unless something dramatic will change her plans.
