House Paberly

House Paberly is a noble house in the Iron Plaines region of the Witherlands. Their seat is called The Grove, and their coat of arms is that of a golden apple on a green field. They are ruled by Lord Alfred Paberly.
House Paberly was originally a merchant family that, due to decades of shrewd spending and some handy political maneuvers, raised itself to nobility. They are easily one of the richest noble houses in the region.
== The Grove ==
Though most of the Iron Plaines is solid woodland, the Grove and its surrounding areas are made up of more fertile land: shallow rivers, offshoots from The Stem, run like veins across its surface, and much of its landmass consists of rolling fields and plains. The climate makes it difficult to grow as many crops as the Paberlys would like, yet their land is, along with House Batten's, the primary source of food for the region. Where they are unable to till the soil, their people raise horses or cattle, and where they cannot do either, they grow bustling little towns or marketplaces. House Paberly have even managed to bedeck the walls of their castle with gilded paneling. The impressive building of the Grove itself is surrounded by apple trees.
