Houses of Tridon, Part VI

House Eton is the 5th House of Tridon and was founded by Ethan Sadnwin, or Eton to his friends. Ethan was a tree farmer, through and through. He liked to be among the trees, like to build things from wood, liked to watch the critters who lived among the trees. He married a half elven woman named Thera and together they raised a huge brood of children. She was a fine weaver and turned the House of Eton into not only a lumber supplier, but a supplier of fine fabrics as well.

The Coat of Arms for Eton is a great tree behind a mountain goat on a field of brown/green checkered pattern. The House colors are brown and green.

Eton is north of Bloodhelm, on the western coast, nearly all the way north on Tridon's coast (Calabay is the only other House further north). Eton is 44 days north by horse.

The city of Eton imports grain, spices, ore, elven and dwarven goods. It exports weavings, cloth, silk, wine, leathers, livestock and lumber. The city population is around 100,000 by the time of the High King's Sword, most of which are human, but there is quite a few half elves and elves here as well.

Eton is the cloth capital of Tridon. The finest cottons and silks, as well as works of arts in the forms of tapestries, come from here. They also have great herds of sheep and cattle, though the sheep prove more important. Fields of cotton surprisingly grow well here and actually take more land then grain and produce. There also the House run timber stands which provide fine lumber for houses and furniture. Ethan Sandwin, or Eton to his friends, still leads this House, though as the oldest member of the Company he is starting to show his age. His heir apparent, Jason, is patient with his father and rules House Eton in all but name (This, of course, is soon after Peter creates the kingdom of Tridon).

The common alignments for Eton is Chaotic Good, Neutral Good, and Neutral.

The noble Houses of Eton number ten: Texere, Lana, Bombyx, Materia, Cedar, Shepard, Seedling, Warp, Weaver, and Tingere

In the time of the High King's Sword Eton is part of the Northern Alliance and fiercely wants a true High King upon the throne.
