Ember's Pass

**Holding**
 **Ruling House**
 **Elected Representative**
 **Beliefs**
 **Founded**

The **Town of Ember's Pass** is a small town once known for its fortunate mining operations. Since the fall of the Barony of Dragon's Gate, its parent Barony, the town is all that remains of a once-bustling trade-route to Burning Steppes.

Now all that remains are tents, rickety houses, and one stone ruin of a keep. Their sole representative is Elliot Wolfram, of House Wolfram.

## Culture

The people of the town of Ember's Pass are hostile to outsiders and rarely engage with strangers. The mines are the only source of income, and for a few years the mine has failed to break even. Most citizens are miners, though a few traders exist and still brave the mountains of the pass to Redridge. The Dragon's Guard is a cadre of only eight individuals, tasked with keeping the small ruin safe, and originate from the Abbey located within the ruin.

### Religious Beliefs

Some residents can be considered superstitious, but most believe in the Church of the Holy Light. The ramshackle Abbey of Ember's Pass is lead by Abbot Lucerian. The monastic Abbey of the Silver Dragon provides all Church ceremony to the remains of the town's populace, and also act as protectors to the town itself. The Abbey teaches martial monkhood with the use of Holy Fire (oft compared to the Scarlet Monks of the Scarlet Monastery, but with remarkably better attitudes.) It is represented by the symbol of a silver dragon.

### Local Holidays

On December 8th, the celebration of the last of House Wolfram begins. Elliot presides over a small ceremony for her birthday - and a paltry feast is held will the whole town invited.

February 13th is considered an ill-mannered day, a holiday of an attack from Black Dragons. The day is somber, mournful, and ancestors are remembered.

## Economy & Resources

The Town is built off the back of the mine. Once, mining towns flourished in Dragon's Gate. Now the Barony has fallen, the town of Ember's Pass relies on brave traders and the dwindling population of miners. Rare gems and ore were once taken from the earth and sold in Stormwind and Redridge. Now, all that remains is ore and coal.

## History

### Founding

Dragon's Gate was founded in 423 K.Y. when House Wrynn elevated House Wolfram to nobility.

### Destruction

The town was destroyed during the First War by the Orcish Horde, but was reinhabited after Stormwind was liberated by the Alliance of Lordaeron.

### Present Day

Dragon's Gate is no longer a Barony, and Ember's Pass is the last populated settlement within the Barony.

House Cooper

**Head of House**

By all accounts a rather minor house growing out of the lands of the Kingdom of Stormwind. Only recently created in the last few years by the former Patriarch of the House Cooper when he was knighted by the ruling Duke of Elwynn and sent to fight in the King's name to the Northrend Campaign.

**House Cooper** is a Stormwindian noble house that rules over the Barony of King's Gate in Redridge.

Only recently assuming command of this Barony at the edge of the Mountains and Elwynn, Samuel has had the keys to keep thrust upon him by chance and devastation. Now, with little more to his name than volunteers and floundering farmers he must make his way in the world for himself and the good of the realm.

## History

### Founding

House Cooper was founded in 15 L.C. when House Wrynn elevated Thomas Cooper to nobility.

### Northrend Campaign

House Cooper aided in the battles for the Frozen Throne until finally the patriarch of the house fell in service on the fields of Icecrown.

### Present Day

House Cooper only recently has established a land holding but without certification by the House of Nobles it means little.

Elaina Darksorrow

 **Born**
 **Titles**
 **Beliefs**
 **Signature**
 **Relatives**
 **Coat of Arms**

Lady **Elaina Darksorrow** is a former Gilnean noblewoman who now rules over the County of Wolf's Run. She is a current vassal of Duke Garlan Varganous and took over when her late husband, Lord Breley Darksorrow, perished.

## Personality & Beliefs

Cold and calculated, Elaina is not one to trust or get close to people easily. She is arrogant and a bit selfish, looking down on those who are not noble by birth and shunning those she deems unworthy.

## Description

Human:

Elaina takes great pride in her image, even going as far as to wear tight corsets to help accentuate her curves. She stands at around 5’6” naturally, though it is not uncommon for her to wear a heel that adds an inch or two. Her skin is fair, as if never having been touched by the sun; the only noticeable color being the red of her lips.

Her face looks rather sculpted, with high angled cheekbones and a sharp jawline. Even her emerald eyes are sharp and angled similar to a cat's eyes, with the lashes on the outer corner extending as if to form a wing. Pin straight raven locks frame her face, almost always resting behind her shoulders and reaching down to just above the start of her butt.

For the most part she wears either an uninterested and unreadable expression, or a polite smile adorns her features to appear more friendly. She carries herself with the grace expected of a noblewoman, at least in her opinion.

Worgen:

A form the lady rarely shows off, as a worgen she grows to be about 6’6” and covered in black fur. Her emerald eyes having turned an eerily glowing red. In fact there really isn’t anything too extraordinary about her worgen form, and perhaps that is another reason she refuses to show it to anyone.

## Biography

Hailing from GIlneas with other refugees Lady Elaina Heartford, the sole survivor of her house, sought ways to make herself useful. For a while she had simply sold her use of spells to those who could afford it, and when she wasn’t doing that she was making and selling fine clothes. After some time she found herself serving House Varganous, soon even marrying into the household of Count Breley Darksorrow. Unfortunately some short time into their marriage Count Darksorrow passed away, and up until recently she’s been holled up in Darksorrow manor “mourning the loss of her husband.” Although around the time she started “mourning” many of  Manor Darksorrow’s servants seemed to disappear and were subsequently replaced.

* House of Greenoaks
* House of Hart
 **Seat**
 **Regions**
* County of Meadowhead
* County of Kessing
* County of Falkthorpe
* County of Nordbast
* County of Buckendale
 **Beliefs**
 **Founded**

The **Duchy of Lyss** is a fiefdom located in northern Elwynn in the Kingdom of Stormwind. Bound to the west by Salfordshire and to the south by Stone Cairne Lake, its landscape is one of alpine vistas in the north and beautiful water ways and bodies nearer to Stone Cairne. For its geographic size the population is middling, though the fief boasts disproportionately large garrison of Royal Army troops within its borders.

Lyss shares a history, rivalry, and sometimes hatred with its neighbor. Once part of the same fief—the erstwhile Principality of the Lakes—the pair now occupy differing ends of the political spectrum. While Salfordshire's pro-common ideology has seeped into the Lyss' lower caste, the latter's powerful lords and reactionary movements hold a far greater grip on its governance. Due to its tenuous position, Lyss' defences, which were long compiled to face threats from the Burning Steppes, have now largely turned inward and towards its radical western border.
Diocese of Stormwind

**Faith**
 **Church Governance**
 **Ecclesiastical province**
 **Cathedral**

The **Dioocese of Stormwind** is the southern part of the historical church province known by the name Bishopric of Azeroth. It acts today as a geographic province of the spiritual authority of the Church of the Holy Light.  It is centered around the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind.

## Jurisdiction

The Diocese of Stormwind is geographically contained within the borders of Stormwind City and those lands immediate to its metropolitan boundaries. All auxiliary bishops serve out of the Cathedral of Light as ecclesiastic residents of the city and are often able to exercise broader functionality compared to other diocesan bishops. Their administrative authorities, however, are restricted by the autonomy of neighboring dioceses within the greater Archdiocese of Stormwind, making any and all decisions set forth by the Diocese of Stormwind non-binding and unenforceable without the explicit approval and consent of participating Bishops.

```
*Out-of-Character Disclaimer: SLP-affiliated character players who serve out of Stormwind City's Cathedral of Light as Bishops are designated as 'auxiliary bishops' and may not hold any position - personal or otherwise - that unilaterally impedes on the roleplay or the autonomy of other Bishop characters. Published or roleplayed in-character proclamations, decrees, and sanctions made by the Diocese of Stormwind often reflect the attitudes or opinions of participating members but cannot be imposed on characters in independent dioceses. In other words, decisions made by a Bishop or equivalent authority only affects those within their explicit sphere of influence (i.e. their personal diocese, independent orders & organizations, guild, etc.). Additionally, SLP's interpretation requires there be no player-controlled central authority or representation of the Church of the Holy Light as a whole, including those outside the Kingdom of Stormwind's jurisdiction.*

County of Westerlace

**Ruler**
 **Ruling House**
 **Seat**
 **Subterritories**
* Barony of Tirismont
 **Beliefs**

The **County of Westerlace** is a small fief that spans from the scenic shores of Lake Everstill to the vibrant foothills beneath Redridge’s southern mountain range. While settlement in the region began long before the House of Wrynn ruled over Stormwind, Westerlace as a feudal territory did not enter the King’s Roll until its lands were consolidated in 336 K.C. under the House of Merigarde.

In Volume 3 of *The Peoples of Stormwind*, scribe Bartholomew Hale writes of Westerlace as a nexus for regional history and praises its population for the folk traditions they have kept alive; in Spring there are festivals celebrating the subduing of water elementals to create and name Lake Everstill and in Autumn the people gather and honor a folkhero named Strength of Redcastle who they claim mounted a great boar and defeated an army of stone giants.

Prior to the disappearance of King Anduin Wrynn, Westerlace was ruled by the House of Faewater; when then-count Lansel Faewater supported the insurrection of Darian Lyonesse, their titles were confiscated and Lord Faewater’s immediate family was sent into exile. Years later, despite the interests of neighboring lords, rule over Westerlace was given to Lady Aurelia Lionrose.

Cross of Llane

## Award

Designed By: Phiniksa#0935

The Cross of Llane is named after King Llane Wrynn, first of his name, son of King Barathen Wrynn and Queen Varia Wrynn, Father of King Varian Wrynn.

The award seeks to honor the life of the king who had to lead a kingdom against a perilous threat with duty and honor during the first major war in its history against an inhuman threat. The Cross of Llane is the highest awarded honor by the Kingdom of Stormwind, and because of this it’s awarding is regarded with much scrutiny.

The strict criteria for the Cross of Llane is the following:

* The soldier had, during a military engagement, displayed an act of courage and valor in the face of overwhelming danger, even at the cost of their own life.
* The soldier has been a key member in the dismantling of a major crime organization or operation or has been an integral piece in critical law enforcement operations and/or deployments.
* The soldier was captured and/or imprisoned by a foreign nation or other hostile entity and refused to compromise the Kingdom of Stormwind or endanger civilian lives, even under extreme adversity. (This requires them to have had the capability to compromise the kingdom in a larger capacity than the average POW.)
* The soldier has committed an exemplary service to the Kingdom of Stormwind through acts of valor in a deployment, leading forces to victory or ensuring a critical mission is fulfilled, even at great costs.

House Daliron-Primerose

**Head of House**
 **Heir**
 **Seat**
 **Lands**
 **Overlords**

House Daliron-Primerose is a noble house of Stormwind and Quel'Thalas, ruling over the lands of Everclear in Elwynn Forest.

Once two distinct houses, the ascension of Amelia Daliron as head of both houses has brought the lands and privileges of both under the banner of the Kingdom of Stormwind.

The Dalirons of Quel'Thalas were known to be reclusive and aloof, even before the Scourge invasion, with their primary contributions to the Elven kingdom being their services as instructors and practitioners within the arcane universities of Quel'Thalas and the royal circle of mages.

The Primeroses of Elwynn are very similar in many respects to house Daliron, reclusive and rather unknown, they were content to reside in Everclear County, governing it from the high towers of their wizarding castle and occasionally venturing forth to collaborate with mages from the Kirin Tor.

## History

### Founding

House Daliron was founded long ago, when the first Quel'dorei made their way to the forests of Quel'Thalas.

House Primerose has existed since well before the First War, though its exact date of conception is lost to time.

### Present Day

House Daliron continues to retain its holdings in Quel'Thalas, though since the investiture of Amelia Daliron, such holdings have undoubtedly been confiscated by the elven crown regency, and House Primerose's estate of Everclear has taken over as the de facto home of the old elven house.

Lord Harold Wilson is an aged and frail man at the ripe age of 87. Named Master of the Westcross by House Montclair, Lord Wilson has served in this position for more than forty years. While scarcely in control of his own facilities, he nonetheless commands immense respect within the most strategically important zone of Westbrook. As Master of the Westcross, Lord Wilson has managed the maintenance and defense of the bridge crossing into Westfall for more than forty years from before the First War and after the resettling of Westridge. Lord Wilson is renown for his dedication to the Westcross, having taken funds from his own meager personal wealth to finance emergency reconstruction or repair of the damaged bridge more than once. It is understood by many that a new Baronet will soon be needed, as Lord Wilson’s health has begun to deteriorate.
Helena Stratford

Helena Stratford is a resident arcanist and scholar. Currently serving as a teacher and professor at Stormwind University, she is slowly embracing her role as a baroness.

### History

Born in Gilneas, Helena was raised alongside her brother Dunnedin. She sought to acquire high grades and to perhaps seek an apprenticeship under Arugal in the years to come. However, once the wall went up she served in one of the old noble houses as their mage, providing both protections and enchantments to any who may need them.

When the wall fell, Dunnedin joined the war against the Forsaken while Helena decided to embrace a role as both a scholar and collector of the arcane magics. She soon learned to master the evocation school of magic. She also acted as an official tutor for future mages at Stormwind University, where her brother taught prior to Legionfall. She also acted as an analyst for the 7th Legion due to her knowledge of the arcane

During the Fourth War, Helena made acquaintances with Edward Stede, who she accepted employment under for several years as both an assistant and steward. She helped with his efforts on a logistical front. She also penned multiple volumes on appropriate countermeasures to felfire and shadowflame while teaching "Defense Against the Dark Arts" in Stormwind.

It was not until the year 638 that Helena agreed to act as a vassal under Stede, caring for the barony of Stonecairn while he managed the rest of D'oro Sole. There, she began extensive investments into magical education opportunities for all (other than the darker illegal magics.) She now splits her time forming her local academy while also teaching part-time.

### Personality

A polite soul prone to introversion, she enjoys keeping to herself for the most part and avoiding the city. The woman seems to get excited when speaking of her interests, but typically does all she can to avoid eye contact or to disengage.

It's not unheard of that the woman will spend literal days and weeks in her studies without being interrupted. Students say it is usually unwise to interrupt her if she is in the midst of her studies.

### Titles

Professor of "Defense against the Dark Arts," Stormwind University

Baroness of Stonecairn

Former Arcane Analyst, 7th Legion

Falconwatch Castle

**Construction Date**
 **Holding Type**

**Falconwatch Castle** stands as the central seat of power for House Ascania in the Duchy of Eastburg. Located in the ancestral home of the House of Ascania within the mountainous Barony of Faulkenburg, Falconwatch Castle is an old fortification that has undergone significant reconstruction throughout the years. Originally constructed as a military fortification to guard the mountain pass to the gold and silver rich mining region in the upper Redridge Mountains, the castle was sacked during the First War by the Orcish Horde and used as a base of operations for the Blackrock Clan.

With the defeat of the Horde after the Second War the castle was left abandoned for many years until the first Duke of Eastburg, utilizing a questionable source of funds from the royal treasury, financed the reconstruction of the castle not as a fortification, but as a grand leisure palace filled with gardens, fountains, and dinning halls. Today Falconwatch serves as a castle in name only, its sprawling grounds dedicated to serving the luxurious life of its ruler and the courtiers she holds at her court.

House Coldthorne

**Head of House**
 **Heir**
 **Seat**
 **Lands**
 **Overlords**
 **Vassals**
 **Founder**

## History

House Coldthorne is a reasonably young vassal house of the House of Ascania, with a nontraditional origin. Following the Second War, with the House of Ascania in dire financial straits, Benjamin Coldthorne, a well respected local accountant and mathematician, offered his services to help stabilize the budget and goldflow of the Cartes family of Northdale following Lord Erich Manstein’s recent betrothal to Lady Wilhelmina.

Benjamin had assisted a distant cousin of Lord Cartes several years prior and this man had passed the recommendation down his family line, until it reached the Lord's ear, who then recommended the man to Lord Manstein.

As luck and skill would have it, Benjamin was more than equal to the task ahead of him. Along with Lord Manstein's own team of financial advisors, he ably steered and guided the new influx of coin into  the proper number of investments, projects and pockets. His acumen even uncovered a handful of loopholes in existing contracts, which were dealt with accordingly...leaving to his Lord's coffers growing even fuller.

Benjamin Coldthorne would serve Lord Gottfried faithfully and admirably for the next few years, including helping to establish Faulkenburg Enterprises.

As reward for his service, Benjamin Coldthorne was granted the Barony of Hillford. A small parcel of land, but one with a rich history and wealthy earth.

Over the following decades, the borders would extend to encompass most of the island of Cairne Lake. The establishment of *Rosewrought Towe*r in Hillford solidified Lord Coldthorne's new base of power under Lord Manstein.

Arguably, the most shocking development within the Coldthorne family occurred in 618 K.C. When Lord Benjamin's first-born son Theodore Coldthorne met and courted Delilah Crowley, a destitute commoner...before marrying her in a small, almost quaint ceremony.

The scandal shocked the family, with scurrilous rumors surrounding the couple, particularly Delilah...but all were proved to be hogwash, as the two seemed entirely smitten with one another. For five incredible years, Baron Theodore and Lady Delilah brought a new energy and passion to the small and gold-hoarding House Coldthorne. New humanitarian projects were launched within the barony's borders, improving irrigation, farming and the general standard of living for commoner and gentry alike.  It was a time of unbridled strength and growth for the house and its holdings.

The tragedy of Theodore's illness in 623 was a devastating blow. Stricken with a wasting fever, his Lady Delilah was inconsolable. In her grief-stricken desire to save her beloved husband, she made a pact with the forces of fel magic, learning the secrets of the warlocks.

But it was all for naught...her power could only destroy...not revive. And when Theodore’s extended family (already dismissive of her for her common origins) discovered what she had seemingly done, they swore to seek her removal from power. A subtle civil war has brewed within the borders of the Barony of Hillford ever since.
