History

House Fontaine arose during Erik's Expansion. One of the holdfasts established during this time was Grey Haven, named for its bright flowers and gloomy weather. Erik’s castillian was promoted and given lordship of the region, and the House has ruled ever since.

House Fontaine has mostly stayed out of the history books, however have made recent history when Lord Torinn and his wife drowned after their caravan was swept up in a flood after returning from a conference at the capital (it was suspected that one of his opponents at the conference arranged for his death, since he changed sides and was the deciding vote against military intervention on the Mertieuls, but nothing could be proven). Torrin left no heirs besides his three daughters and his younger sister, who acts as Lady Reagent. House Fontaine has always had an abundance of women, and whichever knight or lordling is lucky enough to marry Cassandra will become the new Lord of the region passing it out of the Fontaine family, a fact that Lady Gwenn is well aware of and doing everything in her power to delay.

Lady Gwenn married her Castillian, a man from a humble family who was risen to knight hood. Although he took a raindrop as his personal sigil, he changed his family name to Fontaine so that the line may live on.
