nienna died at the age of 28 after being wounded in a duel. her family was greatly grieved by her loss and the goldcrest rebellion lost an important leader. her son kept her legacy alive until his own death, after which the goldcrest name was buried in fear of a new uprising by those who still believed in the cause.

elyris, born some time in the late 10th or early 11th century, was the son of the infamous eadric spinebreaker. he took up the mantle of his father and lead the goldcrest rebellion until his death. it was said that his mother, vela the blood-witch, had used ancient magic while pregnant and that's why elyris was able to wield fire magic so aptly, and lived to an impossibly old age. neither vela nor elyris ever confirmed whether this was true.
he was the first one to use the name goldcrest, given to him due to the shape his patronus took. at first, it was used to mock him, but elyris quickly turned the nickname to his advantage. he married lady nienna wenlock who became a beloved leader in the goldcrest rebellion. their son aegar would later create a proto-deathly hallow, a crown which was meant to give its wearer power so great that no one would be able to stand in their way.
because the goldcrest name was expunged from history, few today know the story of the rebellion and the great and horrible deeds committed by this one family in their search for power and glory to last an age.
aegar the uncrowned was the son of elyris goldcrest and nienna wenlock. for many years, he and his father lead the goldcrest rebellion together, and gathered a great number of followers. he took over leadership of the rebellion at the death of his father and held great influence in the wizarding world. he, like his father and grandfather before him, strove to rule over all of wizardkind. with all the power he held and the armies he commanded, aegar was king in all but name and thus he became known as the uncrowned, a slight he did not take lightly.
aegar was influenced by his father's experiments, and succeeded in creating a powerful object called, in posterity, the crown of might. it was not perfect though, and he continued working on it until his death. he married kerina, the great granddaughter of hogwarts founder salazar slytherin and they had two sons, elyan and theodric. when his younger son was born, the prophesied comet finally appeared on the sky and that made aegar certain that it was theodric who was meant to unite all of the wizarding world under one banner. this caused a rift between him and his elder son.
due to the power he had, he made many enemies. one night, those enemies sent vampires to attack his fortress when he was away. kerina died protecting her home and family, while elyan and theodric were turned into vampires, perhaps by accident or perhaps on purpose to mock aegar. the loss of kerina affected the family greatly and aegar made it seem like his sons had also perished in the attack, while he begun to look for a cure for vampirism. eventually he put his sons under an enchanted sleep so he could find the cure before their condition was discovered by the wizarding community. however, he was defeated and killed by his enemies before he could fulfill his goal, leaving elyan and theodric's fates uncertain.
