This space will be used to generate the player run house we create and then to store information (status, resources, history, NPC members, etc) on our House, followed by our Character Sheets. We'll also store information on important NPC's events, and rival or allied Houses we create.
Myself or @Nefieslab will be keeping this opening post up to date as we progress. Please do not post here without permission.
Our General OOC/Interest check thread is located here.
House Ironbane of the Rills
Realm: The North
Liege: The Starks
Defense: Castle [Name] sits upon a high stoney hill overlooking the mouth of the Rillwater, where it spills into the Salt Spear. While some regard it as a miserable and drafty old fort, it's twin towers, sizable keep, and salt stained curtain walls (which encompass one of the southernmost Godswoods in the North) have guarded the river from ironborn raiders for centuries. The Salt Spear Tower, a lonely spindle of fortification, crumbling and dilapidated but still formidable, sits upon the opposite bank of the River. (Small Castle, Tower)(40)
Influence: Despite their modest holdings in modern times, House Ironbane is among the oldest Houses in the North, dating back to the arrival of the first men, and have a long and storied history akin to the Starks themselves. Among Northern Lords they command a respect, and are considered contenders for Guardians of the Rills if their houses current fortunes were to improve. (41)
Land: House Ironbane controls both shores of the mouth of the Rillwater River for a league wide and a league deep. The muddy wetlands of the rivers delta and the stony hills of the Rills beyond it offer little in the way of comfort for smallfolk, who mostly settle along the coast, and make patrolling and tending the land difficult. (2 Coastal Hills with a small town,1 Wetland) (43)
Law: Iron Born raiders plague the shores of the hold, pillaging and raping as they go. Bandits scour the hills for unwary travelers, and the rough terrain makes enforcing the rule of law a difficult prospect. (7)
Population: The bulk of House Ironbane's smallfolk occupy the small town of Rillwater Port, which serves traffic upon the Rillwater and traders who don't want to brave the length of the Salt Spear. Fishing combines and tiny bands of sheep herders smaller than hamlets dot the coast and hills. (19)
Power: While poorly funded and small, House Ironbanes forces are trained veterans of the recent rebellions. (1 trained Warship unit, 1 trained Archer unit, 1 trained Garrison)(21)
Wealth: Most of House Ironbane's meager income goes to maintaining its forces and it's single small town, leaving little for excess while the hold struggles to rebuild from the Greyjoy Rebellion. The family has become accustomed to austere living, at least by noble standards. (Godswood) (11)
