House Byrne

House Byrne of The Grove is a principle noble house of the Kingdom of the North. They rule over the southern region of the kingdom known as the Greenwoods. It is one of the oldest lines of nobility in the kingdom, having been granted stewardship of the land they inhabit. Their sigil is a right hand placed on a field of light and dark grey, their words are "Night is coming." to serve as a warning to what is yet to come and as a reminder to their people of where they come from.

History

Before the establishment of the Kingdom, Akeboun fled to the town of Winterhiem seeking refuge. As the town grew and established relations with other local settlements, Akeboun was awarded the lands of the Greenwoods where he established The Grove and his House. There they grew crops, had numerous pastures of multiple farm animals leading an otherwise peaceful existence.

Akeboun would begin carving out for himself a home from the old growth forest around him, by building his keep from the largest of the trees within the Greenwoods, naming it "The Grove", a large wooden fortress that continues to live and grow as the house seat.

By the time Winterhiem began growing in population, housing became the leading concern. By order of King Ragnar Askrsson, "The Godless", the cities farms were moved to The Grove under Akebouns stewardship, where the crop fields provide for the city to this day. House Byrne continues to sell livestock, animal produce and other assorted crops to Winterhiem and other surrounding settlements.
