House Keint of Blackden
|
Years after his death Lope´s sons; León Keint reformed the House, creating a cadet branch of House Keint, the so-called House of Keint of Blackden. House Keint lost all their wealth after the battle of Battle of Blackden for the exception of Neothron; Lope’s magical sword. Lionsbane, the family's sword was lost, some claim that traitors that ran from battle stole the sword but others believe that Ser Corvus ran with it when he got missing. The family was shattered with only a few survivors.
In more recent years the mantle of Lord of House Keint of Blackden have fallen onto the adopted son of León Keint, Erec Keint, he had over the last decade reconstructed a pirate's nest into a place worthy of calling home, after being granted Blackden by his previous Lord, Thomas de Hartcold. After his departure from Duchy of Riviä, the threat to his family became too big. The Castellan petitioned the Duke of Curon for aid from the Barony of Blackreach's constant threats. And so the Blackden Settlement peace was signed by both Duke Wilhelm Karl Devereux and Erec Keint. And from there on out he kept the title of Castellan. A few years had passed, and Erec attended court with his stepfather, where he collapsed in the middle of the Curonic court, much to the shock of those in the court. Since then, House Keint of Blackden has been loyal to the Kingdom of Curonia. During the War of Two Emperors, the loyalties of House Keint was put into question, thus effectively putting all Keints over one comb, Erec Keint was forced to flee Curonia to the safety of the Kingdom of Suffonia, with both his children, both small children at the time. Where he served Suffonia loyally until his death at the age of 91, in the year of 1727. He was put to rest in the Cathedral of St. Theodosius in the Imperial city of Helena, with any remaining Keints and Merentel attending the private event. Before his passing he saw to it that his children were spirited away towards the continent of Aeldin. Hoping that one day they, or their decendants would return and bring his family back to its former standing.
