House Lowport is a medium sized Vandal House that makes its home within the Kingdom of Lucerne, and lives within the small castle/port of Lowport, and controls the province of Southern Darkhaven. House Lowport is the vassal of House Darkmore of whom they would be a vassal of during House Darkmore's original time in the north of Lucerne, and would follow them into the south after they were commanded there by James Lovie as he expanded into the south of the valley of Lucerne.

House Lowport was a member of the Lucernian loyalists that attacked southward into the valley of Lucerne during the reign of James Lovie, and the victory would add the state of Darkmore into the Kingdom of Lucerne. House Lowport would send significant forces to Duskhaven in order to protect the remaining Darkmore's after the death fo the Patriarch, and they were extremely agressive towards Ephraim Black and his attempt to take control from the Darkmore's. House Lowport would join House Highport, and House Fordale in sending significant forces to the Journey, as well as to the Invasion of Westbridge, and this was due to many of their children's involvement in friendships with the Shadow Council's leader and future King in William Lovie III. House Lowport became intertwined in the fortification of the southern border of Lucerne, and they were expanded in influence as the refugees fleeing Bretonia also fled inside of their province and increased their population. This further increased when William Lovie III. expanded in their lands by fortifying the castle of Highdenvale and creating two large counties that were still controlled by House Lowport but also gave the house two new Barons to rule over.
