The 10th House is Merryweather and was founded by Gandolf Merryweather. He was a farmer in Last Stand before the ogres took over, but when he became a fighter it was like the sun rising. They called him "the stag" for his ability to disappear into the underbrush once he loosed a surprise attack. It was also rumored there were other reasons for the connotation.
The coat of arms for Merryweather is a rising sun in the center on a gray and white field with a stag before it. The House colors are gray and white.
Merryweather is northeast of Bloodhelm and Vandez, with 35 days of travel by horse (I should mention this is at a walk, not a run or a gallop) from Bloodhelm.
In the time of the High King's Sword 150,000 people call Merryweather home, most of which are humans. Merryweather imports horses, spices, silks, fish oil, elven and dwarven goods. It exports grains, fruits, wines, herbs, and cheese. This is a community of farmers and peasants. Few here are aware of the political problems of the country. Gandolf Merryweather was a simple man, son of farmers himself. He delighted in planting and harvesting until he physically could no longer do so. His eldest daughter, Madaline, married a younger Knight of Calabay and currently rules Merryweather so Gandolf can enjoy his small garden in his keep. Foods are shipped out on the river to the west and east, wagon trains to the north and south. There are forest to the north, but Varanath governs most of them.
The common alignments for Merryweather are Lawful Good, Neutral Good, and Chaotic Good.
Noble House for Merryweather number 9: Trapper, Thrusher, Farmer, Caseus, Mica, Fruges, Hortus, Narcissus and Cibus
In the time of the High King's Sword they are firm part of the the Northern Alliance and seek the true High King.
