House Mountainheart holds a unique place among the 12 noble houses. Originally elevated to noble status for their unwavering tenacity in guarding the kingdom's eastern front, their duty is to protect the exit from the underworld and the entrance to the treacherous Frostfell Peaks. The house boasts a storied history of service and valour, intertwined with a blend of orcish and dwarven cultures.
However, recent years have brought forth formidable challenges. Positioned on the eastern side of the mountain range, House Mountainheart faces ongoing hostilities with the orcish tribes. These conflicts have not only strained their financial resources but have also tested their military strength.
Despite their setbacks, House Mountainheart continues to attend court at Port Haethwy, determined to demonstrate their unwavering commitment to the kingdom. In stark contrast to their former splendour, their mansion in the capital now stands in disrepair, as unpaid staff has been replaced by squatters.
Whispers within the court suggest that their noble status may be at risk, casting uncertainty on the house's future. The kingdom faces a pivotal decision regarding House Mountainheart's continued role within the 12 noble houses, as they navigate these turbulent times.
