Houses of Tridon, Part XII

The House of Calabay was founded by Eric Calaby a good friend to Peter and a good fighter with twin weapons. But he loved the sea (having lived there when he was young). He loved sailing and before his castle was even built had a shipyard created in the bay below his city.

The coat of arms of Calabay is a seahorse with crossed swords on a sea green field. The colors are green and gold.

Calabay is the farthest north House along the western coast and is 32 days by horse from Bloodhlem.

In the time of the High King's Sword there 100,000 people, mostly humans but some sea elves as well. The city imports grain, cattle, spices, ore, elven and dwarven goods. It exports fish, oil, furs, gems (mostly jasper, obsidian, and the like), ship supplies, whale meat and blubber, and herbs found from the sea. Their biggest export, of course, is sea going merchant and navel vessels. Calabay is a fishing and trading port of the north, the bay frozen three months of the year at the mouth. People live by the sea, though goat and sheep herders dot the hillsides. People here could be described as happy-go-lucky and is why the shy sea elves often mingle among the people of Calabay (oooohkay...clearly I forgot about the sea elves when I was describing races...I will fix that oversight soon). Daniel Calaby, the son of Eric Calabay rules the House thirty years after Peter became High King. He is loyal to the High King as are all of the Knights of Calabay. His oldest son, Samson, has been courting Lady Josephine, though she has not jumped one way or another as of yet. The winters here are cold and snowy despite being at a low elevation. Summers are temperate and springs are wet. Ogres have been a problem lately for Daniel, though House Calabay is unsure of the reason.

The common alignments are Chaotic Good, Neutral Good, and Neutral.

The noble Houses of Calabay number 7: Seahorse, Seafoam, Shipwright, Obsidian, Whalehunter, Tempetas, and Oceanus.

In the High King's Sword Calabay is a firm part of the Northern Alliance and even in the time of trouble when all the Houses were fighting amongst each other, Calabay has stood firm with the Throne of the High King and its rightful heir.
