Gazetteer
The RAEM family holds lordship over territory bordering the shores of the Sea of Winds. The Family Seat is, REDCLIFF, an old stone tower that has been restoned many times and is showing its age. The RAEM family have kept the tower in their family for a significant amount of time and effect repairs whenever possible. No villagers reside immediately near the tower as it sits overlooking the waves and liklely route of any raiders--at least CUTH. REDCLIFF also overlooks two of the hamlets under RAEM's authority. The third cluster lies outside the southern side of the family's primary village holding--populated by over a thousand subjects. In total, the RAEM family holds shoreline wealth and has authority over approximately 2,300 SHIELDS souls.
Saints Shrine
There is an old shrine paying homage to several of the northern Saints situated on the turn-off to the village. The RAEM family retainers have maintained it for generations and its stone shelter is burdened with moss of some thickness. But the offering table remains along with the icons of three Saintly Ones. It is a popular stopping point for pilgrims and clergy passing through. The locals say that the RAEM family line is bound to the shrine and, as long as it remains tended, the RAEM family shall prosper. There is no evidence for such an oath or promised service but the RAEM lords and ladies have always tended the shrine and visit it regularly on their travels back and forth. It is known that LORD RAEM takes no stipend from the Church or the offerings to maintain the shrine.
