House Conrance

To go from a small Barony which specialised in breeding and training horses to one of the most powerful positions in the kingdom. Baron Conrance was killed in the first battle that House Conrance was involved in in the rebellion of the Southern duchies.

Some say the Baroness went to war out of vengance, some that out of a wanting to die she went to war, others still say it was her loyalty to the crown that drove her from her keep. Regardless she is one of the more talked about women in the entire kingdom now. From Baroness to Arch Duchess, none have made such a large jump in standing in the history of the kingdom, often likened to a commoner becoming a Duke. It was at the Battle of Brakendale that the widower Baroness changed her course and the course of her house forever.
