Noble Houses of Blackmoor (Updated)

[Havard]

Okey doke. I found the bit in the FFC I was thinking of. Its "Campaign Map Notes". In that section "Svenson, the Sinders, Monson, Nelson and Gaylord are all said to have (or had) "holdings" I suppose that makes them nobles but whether that qualifies for inclusion in your list could be a seperate question.

I like your questions Aldarron. They make me think about why I make certain decisions in my writeups.

I have a separate writeup of the holdings of Blackmoor on my computer. I will post it later today. In that list, I have divided the holdings into sections based on whether they are controlled by Nobles, Wizards or the Church.

In the list in this thread, I am not focusing on the holdings, but on the noble families. The idea is that nobles will answer directly to King Uther, but the assumption is that Clerics and Wizards are in a more independent position. I am basing this on David Ross' Fan Gazetteer so even at this point it seems to suggest that Wizards have some sort of organization, even though this was before ZG changed the role of the Wizard's Cabal.

This also affects what happens to Holdings when a character dies. When a noble dies, an heir is likely to take over the holding whereas the Church most likely decides who will inherit Church Holdings. Not sure about Wizards; their apprentices perhaps? I guess there are greater chances of the holdings "going evil" when it comes to Wizards...
