House Drake

House Drake is the ruler of the stony region near the Holderheck Mountains named Drake's Reach. Its current ruler is Brandis Drake, uncle of the current King of Gideon and former castilian to former King Mikal Valmont.

History

House Drake is one of the oldest and proudest (and sometimes the most arrogant) houses in Gideon. They are one of three that can claim that it’s founder marched with Alek Brighton during his discovery of Siladia. The family has always had a strong military presence throughout the years, taking pride in serving in the front lines, or protecting the King. The House also has a history of acting as a garrison in the early years, defending the realm against incursions from Goblins, Goliaths, and other monsters from the Holderheck Mountains that attempt to wreak havoc in Gideon.

Recently, a wedge was driven between the Drake’s and the Valmont’s after Lord Willem Valmont betrayed the King and sided with Lord Hawthorne as a power play during his rebellion. These tensions were cleared up when Brandis Drake, who had always been extremely loyal to the King and his son, took over the mantle of Lord.

Heirloom

Once more into the breach old friends. Vanguard is the name of House Drake's ancestral trident, as they are always leading the charge from the front of the vanguard. The blue and gunmetal +4 trident grants the wielder +10 to hit and damage on a charge and grants the users intelligence bonus to the hit and damage of any charge attack made by an ally within 30 ft.
