== History ==
Following the [[Catacendre]], [[Breeze]] Ladrian established House Ladrian with [[Allrianne Cett]].{{book ref|mb5|19}}<!-- is there an explicit confirmation of this or is it just assumed b/c of their relationship? --> The house grew in size over the next three hundred years from a few thousand people to some twenty thousand as of {{date|341|PC}}. It was historically a powerful house, though the actions of [[Edwarn Ladrian]] as the fifteenth High Lord brought the house to near destitution.{{book ref|mb4|1}} He sullied the reputation of the house by his personal actions towards the other houses of [[Elendel]] and wasted money by mismanaging the house's business dealings while he was focused on gambling.{{book ref|mb4|2}}{{book ref|mb4|3}} Edward raised his brother's children to inherit the house after him, as he had no heir himself.{{book ref|mb5|5}} When his son [[Hinston]] was born, Edward began laying plans to hand the house over to him. However, Hinston died of a disease, and Edward was forced to choose [[Waxillium Ladrian]] as the next High Lord.{{book ref|mb4|epilogue}} Edwarn faked his death around {{date|341|PC}}, causing Wax to return to Elendel and take up the mantle of the sixteenth High Lord of House Ladrian.{{book ref|mb4|1}}
 
Waxillium inherited a house on very shaky financial footing, but although his uncle's actions had offended many of the other houses in the city, House Ladrian still retained some notoriety. Because of these factors, Wax allied himself with [[House Harms]] by entering into an engagement with [[Steris Harms]].{{book ref|mb4|2}} During the period of their engagement, Wax utilized the funds provided by House Harms to pay off many of his house's debts and turned the house once again into one of the wealthiest in the city.{{book ref|mb5|9}} <!--Some of the house's steel shipments fell prey to the [[Vanishers]].{{book ref|mb4|2}} He conducted business solely with those of an honest reputation, meaning that House Ladrian and its business partners remained unscathed during [[Claude Aradel]]'s mass detention of nobles following his arrest of Governor [[Replar Innate]].{{book ref|mb5|epilogue}}-->
