== History ==
Around a decade before the start of the campaign, a devastating conflict broke out between House Cairn and House Charlton. Raaf offered his sword and expertise to the side of Lord Samuel Cairn.
This war lasted many years, vicious desperate slaughter, but in the last year the forces of House Cairn finally overcame the last stronghold of House Charlton. Many lives were lost in the conflict and even Lord Samuel Cairn has felt the loss of his closest family members, but House Charlton has been entirely devastated the Noble Family vanished. It's unclear exactly what part Raaf played in this conflict, but in the wake of their victory, Raaf was rewarded Master of Barrowholm.
Raaf began work rebuilding the keep and returning the small folk to work at a prodigious pace, and as soon as the affairs of Barrowholm were in order the new Lord took to his horse and returned to the Westerlands where he revealed a promise from the beautiful young Josephine Lannister to wed him, should he be a Lord of Westeros.
His triumphant return to Barrowholm with his Lady and friend Varro and Alberect, however was not quite the fairy tale ending however. Barrowholm did not have the kind of climate or luxuries to keep Josephine happy, the fair young Lannister became depressed and took to the bottle. There were many hard nights and the cold air grew even colder inside. When it seemed like it could get no worse Coraline, their first and, then, only child, grew deathly ill. The terror of losing their child grew the young couple closer together, and as Coraline recovered the couple matured and reinvigorated came together again.
Two years after the birth of their second child, and heir, Cedric, Raaf has uprooted hit household and struck a deal with the Lannisters for the Lands and Keep of Acorn Hall in the Riverlands. Determined to give his wife, children and loyal brothers the life they deserve, House Heimdell has come to the Riverlands.

On the easter coast of Westeros, where the mighty river of the Trident meets the Bay of Crabs, House Heimdell Lords over several leagues of Wetlands, Plains and Mountains bordering the Vale.
=== Lands ===
From the Mountains bordering The Vale, the members of House Heimdell rule from their seat of Falcons Rise overlooking the fertile coastal plains and the wetlands that surround the mouth of the Trident.
Within the Plains the Small Town, Cape Goodwill, with it's rich marketplace and port bustling with trade, supplied by the rich farmlands and goods from the mines in the mountains. Just off the coast of the wetlands, the Monastery to the Seven stands proudly on the Quiet Isles silently standing as a symbol of the faith.
=== Defensive Holdings ===
==== Falcons Rise ====
At the top of the winding mountain road, the small castle overlooks the Heimdell lands, protected from siege by the mountains and with a single winding path to the keep, the castle is a nightmare to assault.
Down in the wetlands, the monastery of the Silent Brotherhood is a defensible keep in case of emergencies.
=== Military ===
The Heimdell army has dispersed into peasantry since moving to the Saltpans and the end of the war. Most prominently a unit of well trained warships guard the bay and port. As well, crusaders have taken up in the Silent Monastery and stand in defence of the small folk and the faith. Finally the castle of falcons rise is manned by the personal guard of Lady Heimdell herself.
Most of the regular patrols and military might that defends the Heimdell lands come from the Banner House, House Gaunt of Ashfall. A unit of Cavalry and a unit of Archers regularly patrol, while their engineers keep an eye on the fortifications of both houses.
