Wallefreid

House Wallefreid were a Faramondian-cultured noble family reigning in the town of Goldenleaf from the 2nd Century BCE to the 2nd Century CE. They were wiped out when the Kingdom of Faramond expanded into the area.
== History ==
House Wallefreid was one of the earliest noble families on the Trade Lake coast by over a century, and for this reason it is suspected they were actually descendants of nobility from the original Flentian Fleet during the 7th Century BCE.
Whatever their roots, the Wallefreids made it known that their domain was Goldenleaf and its surrounds. They attempted to expand into Shepsted early on, but were resisted by the local populace and forced out.
Later on the Wallefreids established several cadet branches. One of these families, House Parthwille, still survives in much its original form.
When Faramond expanded into the area, the Wallefreids resisted. They had fortified their town with a motte-and-bailey skirt wall, and held out for several weeks before the Faramondians began to hurl flaming pitch at the defences. After the siege, the Wallefreids were put to death along with most of their cadet branches, and House Parthwille was installed as a loyal vassal of the new Faramondian King.
== Coat of Arms ==
The arms of House Wallefreid were 'Vert, two acorns palewise, slipped and leaved Or'. This is in reference to a sacred grove of oak trees in the nearby forest.
