House Hicks

House Hicks of Wardon are the Barons of a rocky but still arable stretch of land within Wanduke. The members of this house are noted for their stoic personalities and grim outlook on life, and can often be considered unapproachable or even unfriendly. Despite this, they remain polite and fair. House Hicks are somewhat typical of Wanduke in that they prefer to focus on managing their own lands and are reluctant to chase larger political ambitions. This stance pivots sharply however when the threat of military action looms on the horizon, and House Hicks will do everything they can to calm a situation before blood must be shed.

When all else fails, House Hicks is a fiercely martial noble house that provides the other half of Wanduke’s military forces and will not hesitate when blades are drawn. Where Laldere supplies the bulk of knights in Wanduke, Hicks lays in sheer manpower by maintaining the largest non-Royal infantry force in the Duchy. Unlike most other houses which merely call up infantry levies in times of need, House Hicks maintains a vast majority of its nearly two thousand men year round as employed men-at-arms.
House Hicks is seated in Danetown, a modest but relatively large city tucked away in the rocky hills of Wardon. They boast no grand keep or castle, preferring instead to take up residence in a decommissioned army garrison that has long since been expanded and renovated for more comfortable living.
