Lesser Clan Silverblade

Organization Name:

Lesser Clan Silverblade of the clan Stone

Organization Category:

Noble House

Organization Specialization:

Exotic Monsters

Sigil:

A single silver dagger on a black background with eight branches of a guard and a single handle. Said to have been the representation of the adventuring group Silver Blade that founded the clan. With nine members, each was known for carrying a silver dagger that represented the organization. However as the lesser clan would found itself it is believed that six of its members would fall in the Red Snow War. Thus a single gemstone shaped piece of silver was set in the middle with the runic words "Stand Forever".

Owner:

Norin "Lizards Bane" of lesser clan Silverblade and leader of the Silver Blade mercenary guild. Said to be a charismatic, beautiful, and quite capable with a blade, the now middle aged noble finds himself in charge of a whole territory. With his white beard, solid eyes and deep red skin, many believe Norin to be a bastard born of the clan Stone. Though in fact he is a bastard of the house Venkasz that had been banished to a foreign plane when he was young. Only surviving through the tutelage of an individual he called "First Flame", he is often heard saying if not for this individual he would have died day one in Mors. The newly recognized noble finds himself instead married to a bastard of clan Stone and given land after his part in the Red Snow War. Claiming that he had "Finally killed the right person for the right person" as his rise to power.

Finding himself promoted to nobility through the routing of a horde of nearly a five hundred white lizard like creatures that the locals called "White Spawn". The horde was on its way to attack a large army that was preparing for battle at the tomb of Cereseki. It is said that Norin and his eight other members of the group Silver Blade stood strong and held the creatures off. Managing to save not only a small town nearby, but many believe the Red Snow War for the royalists. After the battle and Cereseki's sealing, many were recognized for there sacrifice. And like Big, Nero and a few others, Norin " Lizards Bane" found himself recognized as a Betapah by clan Stone and granted right to lands.

Renown members:

Jassur "Runebreaker"

One of three to survive the battle called "White Hell's Hold", Jassur would gain his nickname for his defeat of one of the younger Stronghelms during the Red Snow War. Having managed to not only corner and defeat the young man, he did so outside of Rune's Hold and by himself. Outnumbered thousands to one, the young snow beard was said to have snuck into the camp and challenged the Stronghelm bastard to a dual. Slaying him in front of all his men, the young Jassur would take the remaining defeated army as his own and reinforce Silver Hill Fortress as its Captain of the Guard.

Gorna "Shadows Maul"

Another of the three to survive, Gorna finds herself the spy master and castellon to Norin. Gorna was said to have managed to keep the clan alive through her quick wit and willingness to do whatever it took to keep there position. Believed to be the reason behind Norin's marriage and political aspirations, many believe Gorna to be the true power behind the clans throne. With her small frame but large black maul that she carries around, one would be quickly forgiven to not think her much the rogue. But in truth, her ability with stealth even in the heaviest armor is said to be unmatched. And with her immense popularity amongst the common folk, many believe Gorna to be planning for something but none seem to know what. What is for sure is Gorna's love or Norin and Jassur, and her refusal to deal with outsiders she deems a threat.

The Unholy Six

Said to be the six members who had fallen but swore there afterlives to the Silver Blades. Each out of hatred, wished for nothing but to continue fighting by Norin's side. And either through that hate, or through the supposed non magical contracts they had all signed. The Unholy Six found themselves rising again even when cut down by the many "White Spawn". Each now donning nothing but mountain plate and acting as sentinals for Norin and the remaining members of Silver Blade. 

Locations:

Silver Hill Fortress

A small hill that has been fortified with the help of the many local farmers and miners in the northern area of Bronzehold. The city itself stands more a passing trade outpost then stronghold. With many of its walls short, and instead a large focus on the troops who inhabit it seems to be the design. With many ramps and openings, siege equipment and even workshops for weapons and armor, this outpost stands as a beacon in the open north of the snowbeard lands. Housing nearly three hundred trained civilians and warriors, the fort is said to sprout a large mining population for the deep silver found beneath it. Granting it a large population of young or apprentice waroen who use the silver for magical focuses within the town. Silver Hill Fortress is said to be quite the anomoly for a fort in the snowbeard lands. 

Unique and Common Services:

Though a noble house, the lesser clan recognizes its roots still and acts as a mercenary force even to this day. Offering both training and hiring of there members for work outside the snow beard lands is a common site within the town.

Annual Income:

Roughly around twenty thousand from there mercenary work annually. As the lesser clan seems to be mostly sending out less experienced or new members while they focus on fortifying there new found lands.
