House Silverblade

House Silverblade is a minor house in North Awbor, located at Haldorn Keep. Its named after the weapon Silverblade. The House was almost destroyed by the Caldor Civil War, though Ajax Silverblade, the sole survivor, has managed to restore its former glory. 
== History ==
House Silverblade was founded by Agetos the Adventurer in 46 AP. Little is known about Agetos before the founding of the House. Suffice to say that Agetos was an extraordinary fighter who performed many heroic actions in the name of glory. As a consequence he attracted a small band of loyal followers.
Agetos' most famous moment of glory was during the vampire infestation of Blightwall in 46 AP, where he guarded a bridge for 5 hours against waves of vampire spawn. As a reward, the dwarves forged a mighty silver greatsword, and promised Agetos any service they could offer. The fighter asked the dwarves for their expertise in building a home on a plot of land he possessed. This small keep, financed and designed by the grateful dwarves, would be expanded and improved by House Silverblade over the subsequent centuries, and eventually became Haldorn Keep. Agetos took the name Silverblade, after his weapon, and settled into his new home with his followers.
While he wasn't immediately accepted as a noble by the other Houses, the deeds of him and his family slowly expanded the renown of the Silverblade name. By 150 AP, House Silverblade was an established minor House attached to Caldor. The notoriety of House Silverblade would wax and wane over the centuries. By the middle of the 7th century AP, the house was well respected within the Caldorian nobility.
In 689 AP, a minor feud broke out between two Caldorian noble houses. By the end of the year, the feud had worsened into an all out conflict, forcing many nobles to choose a side. Over the next 10 years, the Caldor Civil War would tear families and alliances apart. House Silverblade was a important ally to one of the sides. In 700 AP, one of the houses wished to end the war once and for all, and planned to remove Silverblade entirely, in order to force the opposing side to capitulate.
All the residents of Haldorn Keep were massacred, except Ajax Silverblade, the young son of the house leader. Ajax was smuggled out of the keep while the attack progressed, and the traumatic events caused Ajax to lose his memories. It was only in 714 AP that Ajax would recover his memories, and revisit Haldorn Keep to reclaim his birthright.
House Silverblade is now growing in fame once more, due to the fame of Ajax.
