House Corbeau

House Corbeau was a Valeran Royal House, lead by Minister of Foreign Affairs for Valera, Prophet. Its clan seat was the town of Corvi Nidum. The clan was known as a ruthless and traitorous clan by most Valerans, and their declaration of independence from Valera and subsequent merger with its neighbor Uetze caused the House to be removed from the Royal Houses of Valera.
== Early History ==
House Corbeau was formed before the common eras of Abexilas by Minister of Foreign Affairs for Valera, Prophet. In the early days of Valeran arrivals in the Iristoyan Northern Valley and Abexilas, Corbeau aided with construction of Valcrest, the new capital, and with resource gathering to gear up the new arrivals. Its leader Prophet was known for his diplomatic relations with Valera's neighbors of Ashkavar (primarily the town of Sifedsovan) and Amestria.
== Corvi Nidum ==
Corvi Nidum is first mentioned in Valeran historical documents in the Summer of 7 VE. The town was located on the Cobeaugele Mountains (named after House Corbeau), and its main feature was Corbeau Hold, a large blackstone keep located on top of the mountain range. Corvi Nidum was known for its large-scale mining operations of blackstone on the mountains, which were the only blackstone mountains in Iristoya. The town was known for its uninspiring architectural style, primarily done so it could be used as just a storage warehouse for a future Battle of Valcrest, and as a meeting room for House Corbeau members.
