Houses of Tridon, Part IX

House Pathfinder is the only House founded by a half-elf (though in my not to be seen trilogy an elf runs House Eton). Pathfinder was a half-elf scout who trained the men who followed Peter and Peter himself to use weapons. He had no need to be involved in human affairs, but he understood without the humans fighting the ogres, the elves would be next to fall to the ogres. He married Peter's youngest sister, Andrea.

The coat of arms for Pathfinder is a wolf encircled by gold leaves on a gray field. The House colors are black and gray.

Pathfinder is on the southern coast of Tiana, east of Weatherworn and Bloodhelm. It is 18 days by horse to reach Pathfinder from Bloodhelm.

In the time of the High King's Sword the population of Pathfinder is 100,000, mostly human, but a large concentration of elves lives there. They import grains, stone, livestock, coal, dwarven goods, and ore. They export timber, leather, fur, rangers, herbs, and fruit. Pathfinder was the guide of the Company of the Dragon (what Peter and his friends were called). He was an obvious choice as House Leader of the forest province as he was fond of arboreal places. The capital of House Pathfinder is half tree city, half city on the forest floor. It is modeled after an elven city where smiths, stables, and the great hall lay on the forest floor (though a lot of the poorer homes are on the ground as well). Many rangers come from this city and there is a Scout school of Iktomi based here. Pathfinder ruled for over a hundred years before giving the reins to his eldest grandson.

The alignments common to Pathfinder is Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, and Neutral.

The noble Houses of Pathfinder number 10: Trailblazer, Bowyer, Truearrow, Heartshot, Wolfrunner, Eaglefeather, Stoutoak, Forest, Prancing Deer, and Hunting Cat.

During the time of the High King's Sword there are people in the House that want to put up their own High King, but most want to side with the True High King. The House remains undeclared.
