House Bernhardt

House Bernhardt, the Barons of Palewater and Wardens of Westridge, are the least among Whitecliffe despite their proud history. A reclusive and new baronial house, House Bernhardt has chosen to stay out of the cutthroat politics of Whitecliffe, focusing instead on more practical concerns. All six sons of the current lord serve as officers in the Royal Army, his two daughters as Church adepts, while the Baroness recently gave birth to their ninth child. Those of House Bernhardt are often noted for their virility and lack of physical beauty. House Bernhardt is neither wealthy nor influential, and have stayed within their boundaries and out of trouble.
Rules over the Barony of Palewater
== History ==
== Current Status ==
The noble house was created following the end of the Second War. Lord Ulrich quickly took a wife, a young cleric he had known in the Army. Originally offered Midcost itself by the Duke, they instead chose to settle a neglected region south of Midcost known as Palewater. Today, the Bernhardts focus intently on securing and building up the infrastructure and prestige of the barony.
House Bernhardt takes seat in Crook’s Cove, the dark and quiet seaport town. Their familial keep is a stone manor atop the foggy cliffs overlooking the bay.
