The House of Merentel is an Ancient House of the Kingdom of Curonia that came to prominence under the Kingdom of Courland when his ancestor, who was a Staunton that ruled the County of Eastmark, was raised to a ducal level by King Tobias Staunton and his son, Alexander, was then given the Barony of Hallowfell and adopted the new surname of Merentel. They took part in the Coalition War and were one of the many loyal houses under the House Staunton. In Axios, they were the rulers of the Barony of Hallowfell. Back in Atlas, House of Merentel participated in the Staunton Uprising. In Arcas, they stayed loyal to the Empire of Renatus and in exchange they were awarded with the noble title of Duke of Vintas by the Holy Orenian Emperor. However, the Patriarch of the House of Merentel decided to renounce to that title and adopt the ancient title of Duke of Eastmark instead. The Duke of Eastmark, Tobias Merentel, swore fealty to King Pierce I of Curonia and is currently considered a vassal of the Kingdom of Curonia. Alexander was minister of truth
