Chapter #4House Forrester by: Falcon   House Forrester is a noble house from the Saxony Peninsula in the southwestern Albion and rules the Dukedom of Ironrath. They, along with their vassals and subjects, follows the Old Gods.
Their seat is Ironrath and they control the majority of the ironwood forests in Haredesweald Forest.
This house was founded by Gerhard Forrester, also known as ”Gerhard the Tall”, who became a King of the peninsula long before Arthur “the Uniter” Pendragon.
The Forresters are known for honor and their loyalty to the King of Albion. They are seated at Ironrath, an imposing stronghold surrounded by towering ironwood trees (http://static1.squarespace.com/static/56...). Built over 1500 years before the start of the story by Cedric Forrester and his triplet sons, Ironrath is a testament to the strength and endurance of ironwood. Ironrath sits on the edge of the largest ironwood forest in Albion, which has proven to be a strategic advantage for the house.
House Forrester was one of the first Great Houses to swear an oath of fealty to King Arthur the Uniter 1000 years ago.
House Forrester's heraldry is a white ironwood tree on a black field, embellished with a black sword pointed downwards (http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/game...). The words are: ”Iron from Ice”.
The following members of House Forrester:
- Duke Gregor Forrester, also known as ”Gregor the Good”, is the son of the late Duke Thorren the Bold, and the head of House Forrester. He and his wife, Duchess Elissa Branfield, have 6 children: Rodrik, Asher, Mira, Ethan, Talia and Ryon. As a squire in his youth, Gregor became fast friends with Duncan Tuttle, and named his friend Castellan upon inheriting Ironrath. (Age 51)
