House Baudelaire

**House lead**
 **Holdings**

House Baudelaire hails as far back as those of Strom who migrated north to establish Lordaeron when it was nothing more than a city-state. For years the house served the kingdom faithfully and without fail.

During this period, the House had earned titles and prestige within its kingdom having been given lands in the dense forest of Silverpine. A Barony was established and called the Barony of Braewood Keep. It was positioned along the west coast of Lake Fenris, just north east of what is known as the Sepulcher today.

Rich in resources, including lumber and iron, it was one of the wealthier demesnes of Lordaeron until the day the house answered the call of the First Great War despite their kingdom refusing aid as a whole. As a reward for their willingness to aid,  the House was given the honor of land holding in with the Kingdom of Stormwind and chose to move south and established their foothold with the intent to have one heir in the south and one in the north.

As it happened that would never come to pass as Lord Geoffrey Baudelaire fell in the Second War at the Dark Portal with only one heir, Lord Thibaut Baudelaire who had spent his youth in the Barony of Roselake within the Redridge region and chose to stay, his wife having given birth to the eldest of his two sons, Henri Baudelaire, future Viscount of Halston Falls.
