House Oren

House Oren is one of the three great Dragonmarked houses of South Awbor. Experts at trading and banking, they rule over the town of Ashford, oversee the production of food in the Pantry Plains and government many of the main banks within Awbor; as well as many of the trade routes in and out of the country. While they might not have the greatest military might; their money and wealth gives them a greater influence outside of the Awbor, more than any other noble house. The current head of the house is Hamilton Oren. 
== History ==
House Oren was founded by the merchant Jaspen Oren in -270 AP; he set up the first bank of Awbor some years later. The house prospered and were the first of the noble houses to begin trade outside of the country of Awbor. 
During the time of the war against Kyuss, Hamilton Oren and Senar Oren formed an alliance with the Hindenburg Ground Crew, to provide money and financial backing to the growing armies of Hindenburg. This alliance remained strong despite the battle with the balor demon, Phil Collins, taking place right outside the town of Ashford, and causing great damage to parts of the town. 
House Oren is currently reduced to a handful of family members following the Desolation of Ashford and the Pantry Plains. 
== Notable Members ==
There have been numerous members and leaders of House Oren, including the following: 
* Hamilton Oren - the current head of House Oren. Hamilton is also in charge of the finances of the city of Zingherra. Hamilton took part in both the Council of Hindenburg and later lent his men to fight in the Battle of Awbor. 
* Senar Oren - the steward and arcane advisor of House Oren. He became friends with Tardigrade IV; and ultimately persuaded his brother, Hamilton, to financially back the Hindenburg Ground Crew's growing army at Hindenburg. 
* Heather Oren - the current queen of Awbor. She is married to King Robrand Denneith. Sadly their position is much that of figureheads; the real power lies in the hands which guide the throne. 
* Alice Oren - the oldest daughter of Hamilton Oren. Alice was killed and replaced by a rakshasa during the Council of Hindenburg; though she was later resurrected by Finlicke Kragmantle. 
* Gerard Oren - the drunken younger son of Hamilton Oren. He enjoys the pleasures of life that come with being a member of one of the most powerful noble houses in the kingdom. 
* Jaspen Oren - the founding father of House Oren. He oversaw the prosper of the house for many years, before leaving his daughter Vivienne Oren to be the new head of the house after his death. 
* Nutzolt Oren - The steward of House Oren in Ashford after the Desolation of the Pantry Plains and the death of Senar Oren. Nutzolt is a very good boy, but well out of his depth.
