Vanderdik family
Once a family of great warrior that fought in the legendary item wars. A family that has since fallen into a peacekeeping role for the city of barrow point. Even though they have a rightful claim to the barrondom of barrow point, an unfavorable exchange with the Dwarven royal family in the past several months has caused the mantle to fall to the less prestigious Gifford house.
The current head of the house Rotdek Vanderdik is known as a shrewd fellow with a high standard of justice. This has earned him many friends and many enemies. Sadly most of his friends are in a position that provides no political or economic backing for maintaining his status as a noble. Forcing his house into a peacekeeping role to keep up their own standard of living.
The potential heirs are his two sons, Amdahr and Darron each one with ambition to spare but not much for a sense of justice. His only daughter is sadly... not fit for marriage leaving the family politically stagnate.
Assets
The estate of the Vanderdik's is composed of 12 buildings. 6 of which are private. 2 are barracks, 1 is a stable, 1 is an oddity shop, and another two are devoted to the peacekeeping system the Vanderdiks are known to have taken up.
A massive store of arms and war waging equipment is housed in the lower levels of the private buildings including the famous Vanderdik War engine. If mustered the household could muster a force to ward off invaders as well as occupy another city, however, due to the lack of funding their forces have been extremely diminished.
In Dwarven society, Daughters are assets to garner favor with the king or to give as brides to tie families together. The vanderdik family has only one illegitimate daughter.
