**House Rask** is a Stormwindian Noble House that rules over the Dragonreach in Western Elwynn Forest.

The sigil of House Rask is a black dragon rampant on a field of crimson, to represent the survival of the Battle of Zul Dare where three Horde Dragonriders fell on the Alliance Fleet-- the late Baron Jack Rask having been present for the battle and losing an eye during the course of the fighting when he was seventeen.

The growing reputation of House Rask as one who entertains the idea of the utilization of dragons as weapons of war began with the headstrong, if not foolhardy attempt to bind the feral black dragon Khrysaior to the will of their new head of house-- Lord Vallen Rask. The attempt was successful and now they live up to the presentation of their banner. They are staunch supporters of the Alliance and advocates for resumed hostilities with the Horde, although they honor the armistice however much ire it might draw from them and the inhabitants of their lands.

There is only one known scion of House Rask, the current Baron: Vallen Daeron Rask, named colloquially as the ‘Dragonlord’. No family members currently survive him, the line of House Rask traces all the way back to the Kingdom of Arathor and their descendants who founded the Kingdom of Stormwind. However possessing no noblesse trappings until the end of the Blood War.
