House Bellamie

The County of Bellam has been entrusted to the Bellamie family for well over 700 years. For the great part of that time, the Bellamies were the vassals of the rulers of Aerenwe, and their county part of that kingdom. However, only 80 years ago Daen Roesone wrested Bellam away from Aerenwe and forced the king of that realm to cede him the province forever. To cement the alliance, Daen Roesone married his daughter Darliene to Stefhan Bellamie, then- Count of Bellam. The present Count Bellam is their son, Sedrie. Sedrie is somewhat arrogant and resentful of his family's allegiance to a much younger and less well-established line such as the Roesones. Sedrie is an only child, and has no children of his own yet, but he has five first cousins and a number of second cousins. It is said that Gavin Tael, Baron of Ghoere, has been trying to convince the Bellamies to change allegiances to his domain, an act that would certainly provoke a major war. He is offering to give the Bellamies rule of additional provinces if they come over to his side.
