Houses of Tridon, Part XVII

So our last House of Tridon is Karoon. Founded by Devon Karoon who was an excellent fighter from horse back, usually starting every battle with a charge with one of his hand made lances. He became a good farmer once he settled down as House Leader. (In the beginning of the Houses, even the Leaders worked at the craft of the area.)

The coat of arms is two crossed lances on brown field in front of a cornucopia. The House colors are brown and yellow.

Karoon is 94 days from Bloodhelm, east of the Tsalagi Mountains.

The population of Karoon in the time of the High King's Sword is 100,000, mostly human. They worship Catiana, Sarjon, Targon and Iktomi. The import metal, meat, gems, cotton, dwarven and elven goods. They export fruits, wheat, wines, silk, spices, and herbs. In the time of the Chosen the House is besieged and many lives are lost to Shaniko and his undead so they made a deal with Shaniko not to attack him. After Shaniko died they decided not to deal with the Black Wizards of Shaniko, but neither did they return to Tridon because they were upset they were not sent help (even though it was nearly impossible for anyone on the west side to send help at the time). The Houses and noble Houses are still mostly intact in the time of the High King's Sword, but they rule with an iron fist. About 50 years after Peter became High King, though, Karoon was a laid back House with large fruit orchards and great fields of wheat. It was the bread basket of Tridon. Tygh Karoon, the grandson of Devon Karoon, looked after the House with his wife Teresa and their two children. Nothing of great consequence happened in Karoon but fall markets and celebrations. The people of Karoon were quite loyal to King Peter and mourned his death greatly.

The common alignments are Chaotic Good, Neutral Good, Neutral in the time of Peter. After Shaniko the most common alignments are Chaotic Good, Neutral, and Lawful Evil

The noble Houses of Karoon number 5: Triticeus, Ager, Victus, Olla and Rancher.

In the time of the High King's Sword the city wants nothing to do with Tridon or the Black Wizards. They are neutral, but will not allow slavery or the misuse of the House's citizens.
