House Greywold

Head of House: Lord Berthold Greywold

How did the family rise to nobility? Formerly mercenaries based in Stormwind, they were given lands and nobility status after Theobald Greywold and his mercenary group aided in the reconquest of the Kingdom of Stormwind during the Second War.

How does the family sustain its wealth? The family used to make money from taxing the commerce that ran through their lands, but with the rampant criminal activity in the region, the commerce has been driven away and the family is going through hard times, having to resort to their reserves.

What sort of assets does the family have? The Greywold Manor: The home of House Greywold. The town of Beckham: A once thriving community that sprang up by the river. It has approximately 800 inhabitants. It produces many crops, cheese and leather goods, as well as furs from the wild game in the surrounding forests. A standing force of 40 guards across their lands.

What is the family known for? The family was known for its past as successful mercenary commanders and later for holding an important location between Elwynn, Redridge and Duskwood, where much commerce used to flow through. Though the House does not enjoy of the same prosperity it did for many years, its reputation is still worth something. Some other Houses still maintain contact with them because of it.

How old is the family? They have been nobles for 24 years.

What can be obtained by creating a new family over joining one already in existence? This House will be involved in a chain of events that will revolve around getting rid of the bandits' presence in the House's lands, and later it will get involved in RP with other Houses. (There aren't many active Houses, so I hope that creating this one will also give the few ones that are active another one to interact with. We can't have some good political intrigue with just one House, can we?)

Is the family open for members to join? Yes! If you wish to sign in as a family member, servant or even just as a subject, PM PhilGobatto or add me on Skype: felipe_gobatto
