House of Keint
|
House Keint was founded long ago, they lived in Johannesburg, the old capital of the Empire of Oren. The House of Keint was the ruling family of the Barony of Keintania and former vassal of the Kingdom of Santegia. House Keint was best known for its support for the Kingdom of Santegia until the year 1638 where they declared the Barony of Keintania as independant from the Kingdom of Santegia [1]. After losing the Keintanian Rebellion, House Keint was disbanded by its Patriach, Thomas Tarsington-Keint, whilst he went into self exilement not being seen again for several years.
The Return
Several years after House Keint lost their rebellion, they arrived in Atlas on the south-eastern shores of the Island, led by [[Thomas Tarsington-Keint], preparing themselves for the storms to come.[2] Lord Lope Keint established a small town in the area known as the The East Peak, restoring the House that was disbanded after his brother's defeat. In total, it gathered a six hundred residents with the majority of which being farmers and sailors. A few years after its creation the town came into conflict with nearby Dwarven settlements that looked to extend their territory. This eventually lead up to the Battle of Blackden occurring, which lead to the execution of Lope Keint by the Silvervein clan, and the fall of Blackden.
Years after his death Lope´s sons; León Keint and Allanon Keint reformed the House. 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 sword was lost, some claim that traitors that ran from battle stole the sword. The family was shattered with only a few survivors, some known survivors were; Lona Keint,León Keint, and León’s younger brother Allanon Keint. They wandered around for months until they found land that they could use for farming. From that pot of land the House rose once again, and their pride remained untouched.
