House Swale

House Swale is ruled by Faustus Swale, a middle aged nobleman with an eye for coin and opportunity. Faustus is probably one of the most disliked nobles - aside from House Atterton - but not because of his attitude. Faustus has the reputation of a snake - one that is willing and able to do whatever he deems needed to keep himself on top. More than once his House has found itself embroiled in disputes with other Houses, most notably House Mildenhall. In a heavily wrought disagreement over illegally minted coins finding its way into Mildenhall lands, the noble of Mildenhall threatened to take this disgrace to the King’s court in Castle Adwick. Soon after, Iwan Mildenhall was found poisoned in his study, with no signs of a struggle. There is not a soul who thinks it isnt Faustus, but no one dares speak a word. He has 3 sons, and a daughter - Roel, Emory, Porter, and Aubine. They are not known well of - but it is expected that they serve their father’s interests with impunity, if only to claw their way above each other when the time comes to assume the family lead.
House Swale is a very prosperous House, in full control of the Silverreach Mines. They are solely responsible for transporting silver and gold to the Adwick minters after it is mined and refined. Every single coin circulating Arilaand comes from House Swale’s lands, and the amount of influence that generates alone makes them a force to be reckoned with. There are whispers that the House does not exactly give all that it mines to the ruling house, as it should - but those who whisper such things eventually stop whispering….all together.
