House Rook of Peaseburrow

**House Rook of Peaseburrow** is a knightly house of Peaseburrow. They hold fealty to **House of Peaseburrow**. Their words are "**We Stand Loyal**" and their seat is Serry's Holdfast, located fortnight away from Fort Sundown, the seat of their overlords.

## History

During a revolt in the village towns on the outskirts of Fort Sundown, Lord of Peaseburrow, Lord Franco called his banners to crush the outlaws. The outlaws banded with exiled knights against the crown, who took hold of an old castle ruin by the Southeast River. A group of sellswords led by Serry Rivers disguised as enemy soldiers killed the army from inside leaving it vulnerable to Lord Franco's Men. For his courage and cleverness, Serry Rivers was knighted by Lord Franco, and subsequently the old castle ruin was formed as an outpost where Ser Serry was appointed Ranger Captain guarding the outpost and village town nearby.

The following year, during a tourney at Port Dontos, Ser Serry along with his lieutenants, Ser Tomwell and Lady Ester participated where Ser Serry nearly won until he was defeated by Ser Anthony of Dyke, who crowned Lady Serena Crakehall as the Queen of Love and Beauty.

In 122 CE, Lord Franco's second son Ser Matthews and younger brother Ser Thomas led a royal hunt by the Eastwood Forrest, when they were attacked by mercenary outlaws. During the hunt, Ser Serry protected the life of Lord Franco's ward, his nephew and Ser Thomas' squire, **Olly**, to which Lord Franco rewarded Ser Serry with a patch of land and the old castle ruin, upon which Ser Serry with his men and the aid of his brother, rebuilt the old ruin castle, renaming it Serry's Holdfast. The same fall, Ser Serry founded **House Rook**, a vassal to House Peaseburrow.
