The House of Greenthorne was founded by Thomas Greenthorne. He was a farmer in Last Stand when Peter and his friends rescued the town and decided he wanted to help the world. Thomas loved roses, often giving them to his wife for the simplest of things, but he was a warrior through and through.
The coat of arms for Greenthorne is flowering rosebush with thorns on a green field. The House colors are green and red.
Greenthorne is north of Vandez, (and thus Bloodhelm), on the western coast about midway. Greenthorne is 30 days travel from Bloodhelm.
Greenthorne imports foodstuff, textiles, silks, magic, books, mercenaries and dwarven goods. It exports gold, gems, and ale. Greenthorne was a small town where Thomas wanted to live (he liked the view of the sea from the mountain cliffs). Sheep, cattle and grain were raised here and shipped down the river inland but when gems and gold were discovered in 2037 all things changed. The simple villagers were soon over run by dark elements. Even the Knights under Thomas began to turn a blind eye to injustices for the right money. William Greenthorne, Thoma's eldest son, is now Lord of House Greenthorne (this is about 30 years after Peter became king) and is not as benevolent as his father. The power of riches is going to his head and he is over looking thieves guilds because of the money they pay him.
The alignments most common here are Neutral, Lawful Good and Lawful Evil.
The noble Houses of Greenthorne are 5 (because Greenthorne doesn't want to share their wealth): Aurifex, Gemma, Argenteus, Inspicere, and Metalsmith.
In the time of the High King's Sword the House is neutral on the outside, but would like to put their own High King upon the throne.
Tomorrow: Merryweather
