Langford is a Bloodline of High Elves who have resided primarily in Jewelspar for most of recorded history. The Langfords are well-known for their scholarly pursuits, having worked in academia at Jewelspar University for many centuries. They don't descend from any known nobility, but their contributions to studying the arcane are recognized and well-respected. Despite their Bloodline being quite ancient, they lacked a consistent surname (not unusual among High Elves for most of history) until the mid-PR era when Frances adopted the surname Langford to try and give herself a more noble-sounding stage presence. She created it using a portmanteau of Langston Avenue and Valenford Street, an intersection in Jewelspar that she lived near at the time.
In the late PR era, Professor Wellam Langford notably predicted the Fracturing of the Weave and made great efforts to conserve the arcane properties of many magical artifacts. He accomplished this with the help of his wife Frances by constructing an artificial portal to the Feywild beneath Jewelspar University where they both taught, rescuing many artifacts from destruction by smuggling them through the portal before all planar magic became severed from the Material Plane. He went so far as to relocate to Zobeck with Frances to continue their work during a time when the future legality of magic in Jewelspar seemed uncertain. The Langfords eventually returned to their ancestral Plane in the Feywild—using the same portal they had secretly kept in Jewelspar—once frays in the Weave finally began to show (except for Veras, who had been hurled into the future by Chronepsis and missed his window to abscond the Material Plane with the rest of his family).
