## History

### Background

During the **Early 1st Century of the Second Age**, the **North-Eastshire** in Easternlands faced an inside revolt in the cities of Dorkshire, Albertshire, and Castle Jutus led by former soldiers and exiled knights, while Castle St. Thomas struggled to stop a missionary revolt. Lord Ivanstar raised four hundred men allied with his brother-by-law, Lord Easton Rivers who raised two hundred men for an assault on **Castle St. Thomas**, located on **West of Dorkshire**. Five skirmishes took place, including two sieges, **Siege of Castle Justus** and Siege of Dorkshire before the revolt finally ended and two hundred outlaws were beheaded, including missionaries and knights. Following the capture of Castle St. Thomas, **Lord Easton** took hold of the castle and only to be later appointed as its Lord Commander by decree, and appointed a mercenary knight, **Ser Lorent the Frank** as the Captain of the City Guard of the **Fort City**.

After another rebel skirmish, **Lord Easton** went on to take the Lordship of Altmore and lead a new bloodline, and in August 110 CE, **Ser Lorent** was appointed as the **Acting-Lord Commander** and one of the five Captains of the Garrison.

### Foundation

In Late 112 CE, the **Castle of Saint Thomas** came under another missionary revolt where Ser Lorent led the defense of the garrison, leading to the execution of thirty missionary priests and nuns, and one hundred missionary knights.

In 113 CE, Ser Lorent was rewarded with Lordship of the Fort City, which was later expanded into a port city, with the broken **Castle Hold** rebuilt in the image of the fourth strongest castle of the Franks located in Oston, with the assistance of the **Frankmen Builders** and the **Household Builders of Lord George Hoffman**. And later on, Lord Lorent went on to found **House Lorent of Lorensport** with the port city named in memory of his late father.

After the battle ended, Ser Lorent was granted land at the **Foothills of Mount Igor**, which was re-constructed with assistance to House Tristan into a port town and renamed Lorensport after **Ser Lorent's Late Father** and later took Lordship of Lorensport. To gain naval support, Ser Lorent married a Privateer Captain, Captain Tara (**Daughter of Captain Tarnok**), and with that, **Lorensport** became Sworn Swords to **Lord Harald Ivanstar**.

In 110 CE, Lord Lorent participated in a **Tourney at Steffon's Hold** by Lord Harald Tarren. At the tourney, Ser Lorent went on to unhorse various knights and noblemen including the *"***Sons of Glasgow***"*, Ser Elvis Glasgow and Ser Henfry Glasgow, until he was finally unhorsed by **Ser Daeron Goldhart**, one of the finest knights of the kingdom, who went on to crown Lady Lucera Tarren as the *"***Queen of Silver Beauty***"*, second only to the *"***Queen of Love and Beauty***"*. Later at the ball, Lord Lorent went on to dance with the sixteen-year-old Lady Daena Glasgow, the daughter of **Lord Eustace Glasgow**.

### Foundation

A group of outlaws called the "**Band of Warriors**" were terrorizing the western end of **North-Eastshire**. Ser **Reuben Ivanstar**, the firstborn son of **Lord Harald Ivanstar** gathered two hundred men including men from his guard and from Houses Potter and Osledge, and the Sworn Swords of Dawsbury, Fork, Dorkshire, and Eastwood, but the army was defeated with **Ser Reuben's Head** and the **Heads of his Lieutenants** were piked at the **Gates of Dorkshire**, as it was later taken by the rebels who butchered the city and killed the Lord of Dorkshire and his family.

Another stand was taken by Lord Warden **Lord Harald** himself in August 112 CE when he called his banners and raised a standing army of one thousand men to finish the rebels to their roots. Houses Altmore, Dawsbury, Goodworth, Appleton, Marshall, Hornwood, Rivermont, Greentown, Potter, Fork, **Lorent**, Greystone, Brune, Pentmore, Tarren, Glasgow, Blount, Cole, Rosby, and Goldhart responded to their overlord along with the sworn swords of **Lord Ivanstar**. The rebels numbered three hundred men with almost a hundred mercenaries by their side. The Battle of Dorkshire took place from August to December 112 CE, and after the battle ended, the sworn swords were given either lordships or decrees to establish their families. Houses **Lorent**, Dawsbury, Fork, Eastwood, Dorkshire, Hornwood, and Evermore were founded that day.

### Lordship of Glasgow

In 115 CE, **Lord Lorent** alongside other lords traveled for the **Wedding of Lady Emma Appleton and Ser Henfry Glasgow**. A Grand Tourney was held at Appleton by Lord Wyatt Appleton. At the tourney, Lord Lorent unhorsed the bride Ser Henfry and his brother Ser Drake. He also went on to unhorse the Heir of House Appleton, Lord Edgar Appleton and later on, went to crown Lady Daena Glasgow as the *"***Queen of Silver Beauty***"* much to everyone's dismay as Lady Daena was betrothed to Lord Alton of Brune. This caused a fight between Houses **Glasgow**, **Brune**, and **Lorent**.

Taken as disrespect, Lord Alton challenged Lord Lorent to duel to death, but Lord Wyatt Appleton denied and instead offered trial by combat on the measure to loss, Lord Lorent would have to apologize to Lord Alton for his misbehavior and ride his way back to his lands on the back of the donkey, and vice versa except Lord Alton would not apologize and Lady Daena's hand in marriage would be given to Lord Lorent. Lord Lorent and Lord Alton would fight the next morning where all the crowd gathered to see the dull fight, which turned into a fearsome fight as Lord Lorent clashed his blade against that of Lord Alton, and went on to nearly kill him, but only wounding him by the knees and slice cuts to the arm, making Lord Lorent the champion and
