House Tork

House Tork is the Baronial house of Roche, the mining center of Wanduke. While other houses may be uninterested in politics, House Tork is decidedly aversive to the concept. Members of House Tork are almost never seen attending higher courts unless specifically summoned. It is their belief that whatever decisions are made are in the best interests of everybody involved. Due to this somewhat naive outlook, Roche suffers from higher taxes and less advantageous bargaining positions than most other regions, but their local industry is second to none. Most mining and quarrying is handled in Roche using raw materials sourced in Rockhold, and Roche produces most of the arms and armor outfitted across the whole of Westridge and even beyond.

House Tork enjoys relatively significant wealth due to this booming industry, and with little worry for lack of business due to the constant demand by neighboring Baronies. House Tork does not boast a particularly large family tree, as due to their reclusive nature they tend to marry less unless drive to out of affection. Being one of the few noble houses that marry for love, in fact, has allowed House Tork a level of humble satisfaction and genuine joy in their lives. The result is a House that is known for their affable personalities and easy-going nature. Eschewing the practice of mounted combat, Knights of House Tork fight almost exclusively on foot in heavy armor with large two-handed claymores, and are considered master practitioners of advanced swordsmanship.
House Tork takes seat in Petram Hold, originally a Dwarven holdfast.
