The House of Crow
The House of Crow is the major noble family located within the Province of Telmar. Being one of the oldest of the Noble famillies, they hold significant influence throughout the region, as well as within the King's Court. Owning a large amount of lands around the town of Lighthaven, as well as the Town itself, House Crow gainsa significant amount of wealth from the businesses that trade within the Port Town. Very little of their monetary value is kept in the farms surrounding Lighthaven, and the farmers and commoners here are merely set up to support the towns infrastructure and trade.
Crow Manor
Located south of Lighthaven, along the coast, is Crow Manor. Built nearly 300 years ago, this has acted as the residence of the family for many generations. With a wide array of gardens, and lavish interiors, it is as much as a testament to the wealth of the family as it is a homestead.

History
The House of Crow was officially recognised as a House of Nobility in 256 AF, when the head of the Household at the time, Johannes Crow was knighted. The Crow family had become a major force in Telmar, having several businesses across the region. These were an influential factor of the town of Lighthaven growing in to the trade hub it is today, and in recognition of this, the family was given ownership of Lighthaven and the surrounding lands.
As their power and influence grew throughout the years, the family was eventually given rule over the Province of Telmar, and the official Titles of Baron or Baronness given to the current head of the household. Many Knights have sworn oaths to the House of Crow over the years, as well as the other Noble Houses located within Telmar.
