The Age of Lords
The Age of Lords is marked as a period in Seabring’s history spanning from 1XXX to 1XXX. It marks a period of time before seabring was a unified country, when the diferent lands were ruled by great houses, some of which are still around to this day.

Seabring's Houses

It started hundreds of years ago. The house Lowenhertz is one of the oldest, and most feared Houses of the southern Hoffnung lands. There were long ago eight major houses The Vürzien (foreseer) House, Timmerman (timber), Bevrovenhart (ice), Izerbaide (iron), Graanoer (grain), Onstokenvlam (fire), Firdenia, and Wulfgeboren.

House Vürzien

The House Vürzien for many centuries has been known as the house of witchcraft, their wizardry was not understood by the other houses, but their ability to foretell weather catastrophes saved countless lives, it is still unknown how they could so accurately predict the weather, modern historians attribute this to the presence of an eve, but there is no evidence of such in the areas controlled by the Vürzien during their time of power.

House Timmerman

House Timmerman was long ago the lumber supplier for all of Seabring granting firewood and materials to construct for centuries before they depleted their once beautiful and vast forests and left in their stead barren lands filled by the echoes of long lost glory.

House Bevrovenhart

House Bevrovenhart, or Frozen heart, came from the coldest corner of Seabring, and was a house of fishermen and traders slowly climbing the ladder to greatness throughout the centuries.As the other houses resources slowly dwindled the sea always provides, until eventually the once small house moves on, and it was more than the seas that they had conquered.

House Izerbaide

House Izerbaide, the Iron house as many call them. They rose to prominence in the Iron Age, when demand for iron and steel weapons was high, overtime the many houses looked to different directions to find riches, but the House Izerbaide pressed on creating weapons for the many nations and houses of the southern hoffnung lands to wage war. Overtime their weapons became more intricate and deadly. There are many roads in Unus Solum leading back to House Izerbaide, even to this day…

House Graanoer

The Graanoer family for centuries has been the breadbasket of Seabring, and the southern hoffnung lands. In times of famine the Graanoer never failed, collecting their riches by selling grain to the many houses of Seabring, and to their armies as well.

House OnstokenVlam

OnstokenVlam family, a noble family, once the Ruling family in the southern lands. There was a time when it seemed like the OnstokenVlam house could not be corrupted, their expansion was swift and their rule was just. The prosperity they had brought upon the land was said to be unrivaled, it was called the war of the flame, their cities fell one by one in the worst winter the region had suffered in centuries. With communications cutoff by blizzards the King didn’t know until it was too late. The rebellion was only slowed by House Bevrovenhart’s victory in the eastern glades but it was already too late. When the Bevrovenhart army reached the capital city what they found was horror. Hundreds of thousands dead, the city pillaged and the royal family slaughtered. In a surprising turn of tide the Bevrovenhart armies were able to push back the Gortian hordes from the north. Without any way of knowing where the Gortians acquired so many boats, and how the eastern walls were left undefended, the war torn nation looked for stability. With the royal family dead, and most of the other families recovering from the war, it was left to the Bevrovenhart to take the throne and with a new name, Lowenhertz. Some say that there are remanentes of house OnstokenVlam still scattered searching for the traitors who conspired with the Gortians, and some agree that the house was destroyed completely but no one can be for certain of these things.

House Firdenia

House Firdenia rose later than most of the prominent houses, it made its riches through clever contraptions and innovations.

House Wulfgeboren

House Wulfgeboren the sons of wolves. They were the fiercest warriors in the land long ago, and even to this day they have strong ties to the military. One of the oldest and most respected houses of Seabring.
