House Crawford of the Winward Isle

House Crawford is a noble house in Gideon that was founded during Erik's Expansion. Their keep is a giant lighthouse that warns travelers of to stay away from the rocky cliffs of the Windward Isle, guiding them towards the harbor at the Seavault.

History

During Erik's Expansion, Erik Brighton chose a number of favorable lords to establish keeps around the realm, growing the infrastructure of Siladia. One such keep was on the Winward Isle, where Erik had a passion for the sea. His court mage took up the appointment as lord and started the house, under the agreement that he would take a lighthouse as his keep rather than a traditional castle.

In recent years House Crawford has faded out of the lime light, some would argue that they have even less power than many of the lesses houses. However, the Crawfords remain some of the sharpest minds in Gideon and should their council be sought they will gladly offer surprisingly useful assistance.

To make matters even worse the current Lord of the Winward Isle, Godric Crawford, seems to have no interest in taking a wife, he prefers his books, and has instead placed the heirship to his brother, who is much lordlier.
