Houses of Tridon, Part VIII

House Weatherworn was founded by Gustaff Weatherworn. Though not a mage, his wife, Lillith was a weather mage of extraordinary ability. So he started a college of magic just for her there. He was brought into the fold in Last Stand where Peter and his four friends (the Leaders of Vandez, Cole, Brightwater, and Bloodhelm) saved the populace from the ogres.

The coat of arms for Weatherworn is a white cloud and a lightning bolt on a grey field. The college has its own coat of arms (Gustaff insisted) which is an owl on a yellow and grey checkered back ground. The House colors are grey and yellow.

Weatherworn is the furthest south on the very tip of Tiana. It is 12 days ride south east of Bloodhelm.

In the time of the High King's Sword Weatherworn has around 110,000 people. Most are human, though a portion is elves. They import wood, elven good, dwarven goods, akicitia goods, stone, perfume, leather goods and ore. They export grain, art, wine, silks, weavings, books, magic items and paper. They have a large port below the city which sits on the cliffs of the coast, with good repair berths and they have one building berth which is usually busy all year long. The most unusual of Houses, this House is home to a large group of mages comprised mostly of weather mages. Though Gustoff Weatherworn was only a Knight and not a magic user. The boys all chose to be Knights, but Gustoff's three girls followed their mother, the youngest becoming a healer. As a side note, the girls normally are expected to become mages now and when they marry they usually stay with the House instead of moving off (unless they marry a Leader of another House). Some of the men become mages, but most become Knights. Gustoff is still running strong (some 30 years after Peter is crowned), but plans to hand over his House to his second son Jason, the oldest wishing to remain a simple Knight. All his children are married save Hanna the youngest. The suitors are lining up for her hand.

The common alignments here are Lawful Neutral, Chaotic Good, and Lawful Evil.

The noble houses of Weatherworn number 8: Tempest, Fulmen, Nimbus, Ningit, Imber, Nebula, Frost, and Windless.

In the time of the High King's Sword they are openly neutral, backing no one for the throne of the High King.
