Barony Seastorm

Page history last edited by Gillian 9 months, 2 weeks ago

March-Barony Seastorm

At the north end of Greenvale just east of Auldfort lies the small independent Barony of Seastorm. This Barony is fertile cropland, settled by tenant-farmers seeking better land than the over-used soils of Old Greenvale. The largest of the new Baronies, it has over 6,000 people settled in its bounds. Like Old ’Vale, it is mostly small villages, manors and knightly fees. The Baron is Lord Kellem Windrider, the son of a younger son of a previous Count of OldCounty. It has been established about 45 or 50 years. They have begun breeding mounts; the great Vor horses that otherwise run wild on the plain. The main town is known as Kelvar’s Rest, after the current Baron’s father, Lord Kelvar. It has a population of about 3,000.

 

After the Time of Umade, the Baronies of Seastorm and Aermon became the March-Barony of Seastorm; the Baron of Aermon had been killed, and so many of his people displaced or slain that there was no one left to rule that area separately.

Lord Kellem rides a pegasus much of the time. The pegasus is named Seawind. Kellem is an adventurer first and foremost. He admires courage and boldness, loves a good drink and a good story. Unfortunately, he also loves a good long adventure. Too often he leaves the barony in the hands of his most trusted friends and advisors, his old adventuring buddies, while he goes off on long hunts and quests for treasures he no longer needs to win. His wife, Lady Arnora, is the one who rules in his name most of the time he is gone. Kellem and Arnora have three children, ages twenty-seven, twenty-four and twenty-four.

 

Kellem has these followers:

Primary motivation: A desire for power.

 

Arnora is manic depressive. Much of the time she is fine, but especially when Kellem is not around she becomes moody, withdrawn and temperamental. Her decisions become erratic, based on whatever offends or upsets her at the moment. She is easily manipulated by those around her, often to her disadvantage. Her illness dates back to childhood.

 

Kellem and Arnora's marriage is not good. He suspects that his twin sons are not his own children, but he is too honorable to denounce his wife, so they struggle on together to present a good face to their people. However, this is one more reason he spends much of his time away from the barony.
