Houses of Tridon, Part XV

The House of Landshire was founded by Teth Landshire. He bred horses before he became part of the Company of the Dragon, and continued to breed horses when he became a House Leader. He married a lovely Ariellan girl named Valerie.

The coat of arms is a running horse on a tan field. The House colors are tan and black.

Landshire is 74 days from Bloodhelm. It is north east of Bloodhelm, east of the Tsalagi mountians and on the eastern peninsula of Tiana.

Landshire's population is around 120,000 in the time of the High King's Sword, mostly humans, though some ogres and Minotaurs. Right before Landshire succumbs to Shaniko it's population is mostly human and around 100,000. Landshire imports metals, magic items, herbs, ales, wines and dwarven goods. They export horses, fish, whale oil, spices and silks. The house was founded by Teth Landshire, a good solid man who mourned the death of his first wife, Valerie, and dotes upon his oldest and grandchildren. His son, Jason, now rules the House (around 50 years after Peter becomes High King). Because Teth never really got over Valerie's death, Teth has paid little attention to Jason's half brothers and sister. There is a lot of resentment in the children which might hurt Jason in the long run. This is a major fishing and whaling port.

The alignments of Landshire commonly are Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, and Neutral (In the time of the High King's sword the alignments changed more to Neutral, Lawful evil and Neutral evil.)

The noble Houses of Landshire numbered 6: Plainsrunner, Rolling Storm, Whale Chaser, Stormchaser, Fisher, and Skyflier.

In the time of the High King's Sword this House is lost, though the city remains. It was lost to Shaniko in the time of the Chosen, and he killed all heirs to the House itself, but he left the noble Houses fairly intact. They now rule the city with a tight fist, but do so for the Black Wizards of Shaniko not Tridon.
