Arthorn
The Arthorn family is a Baron House led by Tred who is in his 60s, taking care of his son Rakvin who has fallen ill, as well as his ageing father Nemrab. The house has some lands in northern part of the Distesan province in Sagese county (in Artipellin) and has acquired the title of Majordomo over the important trading town of Wellbarrow.
History
The Arthorn family was originally an immigrant family who sought glory fighting for Artipellin and gained roots in northern Distesan over time, cultivating good relationships with other lords. Tred helped the Distesan family during the wars with Vasj in his youth and was elevated to Baron and given Wellbarrow to lead. This was done on the provisory that Nemrab stepped down as head of the family and situated in an advisory position.
More recently Tred Arthorn lost his wife to the red scourge and later also a younger woman he was courting, called Clara.
The family suffered more setbacks in that the only heir, Rakvin, seemed uninterested in finding a suitable mate to continue the bloodline and later was part of a serious accident that has rendered him bedridden.
Current situation
The family has never had great lands and the position of Majordomo is granted on the whims of Lord Distesan, making Tred very careful and always on top of his political gains and losses.
Following the Battle of Wellbarrow against a Vasj foretroop, he has gained some political hold and is hoping to receive military support from Gwennport.
