House Swan

House Swan is the ruling family of the town of Forks. The Family is orginally of Italian Blood, and is the only House other then House Clegane. They make their home in the center of Forks in the Keep called Swan Keep.

Originally the second in command to the powerful House Tyrell, the fortunes of House Swan turned quickly when the best friend of John Swan in William Lovie grew to be King of Lucerne, and thus put his friend John Swan in charge of Forks. This position was held at the time by House Tyrell who had taken severe damage in the conflict, and thus this was the excuse used by William to replace them with his loyal friend. Ever since then House Swan has ruled efectivley over Forks, and they have remained very popular since their first days.

Early History
The origins of House Swan are mixed in the original founding/changing of Rome from a Republic into an Empire. This change resulted in much violence and eventually the Punic War which destroyed Carthage and ravaged much of Italy. The founders of House Swan had enough of this Roman Empire, and thus moved there family northward towards the Umbar area. When they arrived at Umbar they found the region controlled by a failing nobility class that cared nothing for outsiders, and was growing increasingly nationalistic in its views. With Umbar out they moved Westward and eventually found there way to the small town of Forks. It was here that they would eke out a life amongst the small town at the time.

The Driving Tide came into the front of people's attention when William Lovie returned from his journey on the back of a great Dragon. The Patriarch at the time was John Swan who was best friends with William Lovie and because of this noone was more thrilled that William had grown in power then John was. As the situation was interupted by the incoming of the Dwarves, John went to the Forks council alongside his best friends in William Lovie, and Aryes Targaryan I.

As the Dwarves left the council of Forks met, and their was fierce debate about what should be done with William Lovie leading the charge alongside House Tyrell, House Targaryan, and House Swan in assisting the Dwarves in exchange for the Dwarves assisting them. There support was countered by the opposition of House Cash, House Arryn, and House Clegane who believed it wasn't their problem so it should be ignored.
