House Blackvale

== House Blackvale ==
=== Overview ===
House Blackvale is one of the oldest and most prestigious noble houses within the Kingdom of Viridian, boasting a lineage that spans centuries. Known for their valor, honor and resilience, they once ruled the lands of Riverside until a devastating fire altered the course of their history. The Blackvale family eventually ventured to new shores, settling in Eldham, where they resided in Kythnos and later raised the city of Aurei.
After the chaotic wars in Eldham and Rathnir, they gathered their belonging and friends and set their sails for Abexilas, a land unknown. It is here where they settled upon the lands of the Kingdom of Viridian and began their construction.
=== Background ===
House Blackvale's origins are shrouded in mystery, as much of its early history was lost in a catastrophic fire known as the "Great Fire of Riverside." Before the fire, House Blackvale was a prominent ruling house in the lands of Riverside, a fertile and strategic region. The family wielded significant influence and were known for their valor, military prowess, and commitment to honor. The archives of Riverside, which chronicled the house’s lineage and achievements, were tragically destroyed in the fire, leaving many gaps in their recorded history.
