House Skagerlly

House Skagerlly is an ancient noble house in the Witherlands. Their seat of the Weeping Pit is located north-east in Reaper’s Skull, bordering on the Iron Plaines. Their land holds the river known as the Crimson Wash, which bleeds out east into the Dusk Sea. The river has earned this name through unsavory tales of the Skagerllys' misdeeds throughout thousands of years. Rape, murder, and all forms of torture took place on the banks of Crimson Wash, to the point where the waters permanently run red, down to the Weeping Pit, where their seat acquired its name. The Skagerllys' coat of arms is a red-eyed albino alligator, its jaws extended open, on a field of crimson red. Their words are "Do Unto Others".
The Skagerllys are widely regarded as perhaps the most abhorrent, abominable and vicious House in the entire Witherlands, though some reserve that title for their overlords, House Vivayn, with whom they have been staunch allies for generations. House Skagerlly has always possessed the most willful, sadistic and reviled soldiers and knights, making them a valuable commodity in times of war, with the terror surrounding their name. 
House Skagerlly shares an age-old blood feud with House Barrmount, the ruling Great House of the Iron Plaines. Accounts differ on how the conflict began, some suggesting that it was over land disputes, but since then, there have been so many battles, murders, slaying of kin, burning of holdings and lands, it hardly matters to either side. A hatred for the Barrmounts will always course through the veins of the Skagerllys. 
In his tenure as Lord of Weeping Pit, Lord Radgore has fathered many children, both trueborn and baseborn. He has a total of 12 trueborn children, all varying in age, and most sharing different mothers. His bastards are allowed to keep residence in the castle walls, though they are treated as little more than servants.
