House Thorne

House Thorne is the ruler of Thistlewood, a dense thorny forest in the north of Gideon

History

House Thorne is one of the original houses of Gideon. They are not able to claim they made the trek the Alek Brighton, a fact they are often hit with, perhaps only because it makes them so mad. However, House Thorne was formed when a knight in his service was given an oppertunity to establish one of the first three holdfasts in the country outside of the capital. They established it in a dense forest in the north and called it Thistlewood.

Members of House Thorne are often accused of being grumpy or prickly, and are upset that they often aren't treated with the same respect as House Bryon or House Drake. They are always dutiful, but often the hardest to convince to take up new initiatives. They do not want money or power; they simply want respect.

Heirloom

House Thorne has used a flail from back to the days when they were a hedge knight. When this knight was awarded the holdfast, Alek Brighton gave them a tree themed flail as a gift along with it. The flail was named Hemlock, and the +3 tenacious flail has been their heirloom ever since.
