**House Peronell** is a Stormwindian noble house that rules over the Vidamy of Nedare on Balor Isle in the northern fiefdom of Alcestenne.

Vested with ecclestiastical and temporal power, House Peronell was first landed following the conclusion of the First War, when Balor Isle was being liberated from Orcish occupation, thanks to the valiant actions of the family in shaking off the Orcish yoke.

## History

### Founding

The house was founded in 598 K.Y. when House Laurent landed Geofred II Peronell during the Liberation of Balor for leading the Clerics of Nedare in battle against the occupying forces of the Stormreaver and Blackrock clans, ensuring the safety of the Vidamy of Nedare's most vital and populous territories from sacking and pillaging by the Orcish Horde.

For their valiant and costly defense of the land and the ringing of the Abbey's bells thrice to signal the liberation of the isle in the early morning hours, Peronell was rewarded with special temporal-spiritual rights over the settlements of Nedare and Biafort.

### First War

House Peronell were staunch defenders of Balor and Alcestenne during the First War, losing many of their number and refusing to flee at any point. Prior to the war, they served as a clerical family, servants of the local Abbacy, they helped to promulgate the virtues of the Church of the Holy Light in Alcestenne with a conservative slant for generations.

Following the death of the Abbot and the state of siege under which Nedare was put by the Orcs, the Peronell family was uniquely suited and decorated enough to serve as the rulers of the land, even in spite of their diminished numbers as a result of war.

### Present Day

Following the reign of Geofred II, Beatrice Peronell took up leadership of the House and mothered one child, Senya Peronell, who now serves as the matriarch of House Peronell, reigning over the Vidamy of Nedare, her rule shrewd as a result of her manipulative manner, focusing her efforts on the invigoration of cultural works in Nedare, as well as the expansion of local infrastructure. A largely economic ruler outside of her clerical obligations, she is well-respected by the inhabitants of Nedare, Biafort, and the other smaller settlements in the region.
