Blackstock

Blackstock is a rugged, old town located in the heart of the Ivorian Heathlands, between Turin and Arboran. The town is home to the Rook's Hold, a powerful bronze castle that serves as the base of operations for Dominus Rawlin, the King's Blade and right-hand man to the Eastking. Blackstock is a place of great martial tradition, and its warriors are known throughout the region for their skill and bravery. The town is built around a large training ground, where aspiring warriors come to hone their skills and prove their worth. Blackstock is also a place of great beauty, with rolling hills, verdant forests, and crystal-clear streams. The people of Blackstock are proud of their heritage and their traditions, and they are fiercely loyal to the Eastking and his kingdom.   City in Dresdon     Influence Level: 18   Leader: Dominus Rawlin   Title: King's Blade   Faction: Rawlin Clan   Disposition: ???   Alliance: Bleak Sea Pact   Allies: Addikus Windslayer (Dead) Most of the 22 Ivorian Clan Leaders   Enemies: Arabella Cowan   Religion: Shoreez   Wealth: ???   Resources: ???   Military: ???   Ambitions: Does not seek leadership but the Clans want it. He fought alongside Addikus in great battles in Ivoria. When Addikus closed the doors of Arboran, Dominus kept the clans from warring. Family: Widowed 17 years ago from Krisin Zinar. They married young but she got sick and passed away after a stillborn. Arebella Cowan sought an alliance with Dominus but was rejected. His one child died alongside his wife in a tough stillborn pregnancy. Secrets: The Clansmen of Ivoria hold Dominus as high as they did their Eastking before Addikus shut his doors for 28 years. Only Rudelf Windslayer could claim their favor over the sworn soldier of the Eastking. After a year of mourning in Ivoria, Dominus is very likely to garner enough votes to surpass 50% as he is a distant relative. If a challenger takes enough of his vote, Dominus Rawlin would be very formidable in the Tenth Eastern Moot Tournament and represent himself. He married young but his wife got sick, they had one still born child. Dominus rose through the ranks as he used his battles to hide his grief. He has moved on but now focusses on his people more than himself.     A boating village in Eastern Coast   Blackstock Dresdon Province Ivoria Terra Elf Church of Dhara 12792 164   a ceremonial post guarding the seat of Ivoria
