House Marsh

House Marsh is a large Gothic House located in the port of Dreadfort just north of the city proper and within the Kingdom of Bolten. House Marsh was once the vassal of House Cerwyn but following a disagreement the leader of House Marsh would insult the Bolten lord at the time leading to their dismissal from House Cerwyn and rise in Dreadfort as punishment, but from there they would found the port and grow powerful in the port.

House Marsh was once the vassal of House Cerwyn and in this way they became quite powerful in the north of the Bolten lands to the point that they grew arrogant about their power. In this way they would become involved in a rivalry with House Bolten of which ultimatly ended in the Marsh War in which House Marsh was defeated by a combined Bolten force. Instead of executing the entire family they lost their Masterly House position and became a vassal of House Bolten and would return to Dreadfort. They remained weak in Dreadfort until under the reign of Kyle Bolten House Marsh would take control of the port of Dreadfort and from there utterly dominate the port. Still hating their overlord in House Bolten they became known for knighting several hedge knights of whom became the so called Marsh Houses in the form of House Mersh, and House Barsh. With their loyal houses they would become more seperated from the Boltens to the point that they took control of a number of villages north of the Dreadfort to the annoyance of House Bolten. With the rise of the conflict with Lucerne House Marsh and their loyal vassals sent half their forces westward where they worked alongside House Hornwood and for this reason escaped the retreat eastward without many casualties. Returning to the port they have become a great fear for the Boltens of whom know that when the Lucernians arrive Bowen Marsh is going to side with them.
