    Default Dunmore Keep, Seat of House Voskari (Shadowmoor)

    House Voskari





    Regional information:



    Shadowmoor was a province that, due to its location, has long been plagued with Wildling raids coming out of the Gorge and the mountains. Many Lords have attempted to establish themselves in the province, though few have done so willingly. Often, what has been built is only fated to be destroyed during a series of raids as the Wildlings get wind of a power base forming, and the goods and coin that is to be had. The population is more than used to it by now, most seeing to their own defense long before putting their faith in a 'Southern' Lord, and the province is divided into the territories of several chieftains, each protecting what they proclaim as theirs.

    Lord Simeon took a deep breath as he surveyed his lands, to some better known as the province of Shadowmoor in the far North. Standing on the hill that was to see a lot of construction, on clearer days one could actually see the Wall, towering higher than any other building known to Man, and yet still not high enough to keep the Wildlings out. An example many could learn of, in terms of siege warfare. Still, even with the barren state of the province as a whole he was still determined to make it into something that would be remembered, and for his children to have a legacy to inherit, though the lack of male successors was somewhat concerning: If the situation became dire, he would have to hand it to one of his daughters, a custom common in Dorne he believed, and yet this was not Dorne, meaning it would take some convincing on his behalf for the other Northern Lords to accept it. So much left to do... He took a deep breath.

    His gaze passed on to a small valley, with the beginnings of a village that he had chosen as the site for a market square, aiming to centralize trade in hope that the village would prosper into a provincial capital overlooked by the walls of Dunmore Keep -- walls that were also still to be built. He would need men as well, but the lack of a treasury had proven to be a bigger concern which the marketplace would hopefully remedy soon enough. Hopefully, the first of the traders would not be too far off.

    Hopes were one thing however, but hope alone didn't get any work done. And so, he walked down over the path of frozen dirt into the valley, aiming to oversee the construction himself. These first few months he had a first impression to create, and a favorable view to cement as the ruler of these people, or his rule would be a short one indeed.

    Not long after the raven had reached its destination, it would return with a reply:

    Lord Connington,

    I accept your offer for trade. May we both prosper from the opening of trade between our lands.

    I accept your offer for trade and will be looking forward to discovering firsthand how well our Northern horses compare to the praised Dornish ones. The same would i assume be true for our furs.
